Taylor Swift is actually a very evil person. Based purely on the fact I haven't heard any bad things about her. 🧐

I think Vince Neil of Motley Crue got a ridiculously short sentence for drunk driving manslaughter because his record company bought off the judge so that they could make money off him performing. I suspect a lot of famous people have that happen.

A lot of coverups seem to happen in high society. Check out the story of Natalie Wood, for instance.

Mine used to be that Bill Hicks faked his death and created Alex Jones in order to sell out. Doesn’t seem very low-stakes any more

The whole adding glue to phones and other electronics is the result of Big Glue lobbying Big Tech

The battery level your phone shows is just made-up bullshit. It’s roughly accurate of course, but they can’t really check how much charge is in the battery with 1:100 accuracy, so it just counts down at a roughly constant rate making adjustments to the rate based on rough measurements of broadly whether the battery is “real full” or “mostly full” or “almost empty” or whatever.

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 27 points 6 days ago (7 children)

The battery has a capacity reading down to the milivolts and the phone knows how much power it is using, which changes dynamically to meet the usage. The remaining battery level is determined by the voltage available at the current consumption. There is some averaging involved based on your usage profile.

So your battery level is accurate at a given time, but changes based on what you are doing and what you have running. So your battery will drain faster if you are playing an intensive game, but will last far longer if you have nothing unessential running and the screen is in sleep mode.

Apps like Facebook, chew through battery in the background because of how often it has to use resources to check for notifications, when when you don't actually have the app open or in the recent apps list. So your battery will lose charge faster than you would expect when you haven't been on your phone.

so, naw lil bro.

That there are ICE raids frequently carried out at Home Depots because the Trump-loving CEO invites them to the stores. Wouldn't be all that surprising or change much even if it were true.

Edit: apparently i was thinking of the former CEO/founder. The current one seems to be against facism

Racial carbohydrate diet. You should eat the carbs that match your ancestors DNA.

I think something cataclysmic happened during the Younger Dryas period and we may never know what but it's not coincidence there are multiple flood myths that evolved independently. Also, I think humans have been around longer than we realize and we're in another iteration of the same course of evolution waiting to get out of our Fermi loop.

Well, concerning the floods: flooding is still really bad and usually affects a huge area. Normally it is not like one village floods and everybody dies and the next village is completely fine. So, for people who do not get around a lot it might feel like the whole world was flooded. Then maybe they hit a few bad years in a row, and BAM, God or somebody wants to punish humanity story confirmed.
