Instrumental Core - The Angels Among Demons

Fusili for the consistent sauce-to-pasta ratio.

Edit: Oops looks like Wardacus beat me to it.

Across the Anglosphere people seem to use “generally” and “genuinely” almost interchangeably these days.

It’s “a couple of minutes” not “a couple minutes”. Americans tend to drop it for speed, but it kind of fits with the accent I guess.

As far as Americanisms go, this is my least favourite… They seem to be dropping the “go” from the aforementioned and it throws me right off the sentence every time.

Just started reading through Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn trilogy and it feels tailor-made for a game adaptation where the player is a Mistborn for hire before the events of the first book.

Most religions believe in some kind of afterlife. We know that’s unlikely to be true which makes this one all the more valuable.

Nice try.

The list of reasons filesystems are not databases is a database.

Borderlands and Full Metal Furies spring to mind.

Always appreciated the levels of drawl it takes to squeeze this into one.

Not massively into D&B but this is one of my favourites:

Keeno (feat. Rou Reynolds) - Shelter From The Storm

I thought “cakewalk” was a clever American amalgamation of “a piece of cake” and “a walk in the park”.

Turns out it’s actually related to slavery, so probably doesn’t count.

Wow didn’t expect to see Akala already posted here.

This is the correct answer although I think Fire in the Booth Part 4 might even eclipse Part 1 in terms of talent.

Second place for me would be Lowkey. For message Soundtrack to the Struggle 2, for pure ability has to be The Return of Lowkey… Genius bars like a laptop shop.

Shame climate change has rendered it about as useful as looking out the window at predicting the weather.

Me: Here’s the URL for the web service I’ve just deployed. I’ve set up users and permissions so just copy it into your browser and you should see a very similar system to what you’ve been trained on with all your data in there.

Customer: All I’m getting is a blank screen.

Much panicking and headscratching later…

Me: Waaaiiiiittt, did you press Return/Go after copying the URL?

Customer: That was not in the instructions.

So apparently I have a similar contorted expression to my mother when eating sour food.

My father always referred to this as my mother’s-maiden-name-gene. Let’s say her maiden name was Chaplin, he would say “Ah there’s that Chaplin gene again!”

Being young I misunderstood this as a verb, ie. I was “chaplinging”.

Cut to first year of school where I proudly waltz around informing any classmates eating fizzy sweets that the correct and proper term for their reaction is “chaplinging”. It was a few years until the penny dropped.

Mmmmm fresh pasta.

For me it is very weird, no one introduced me formally to Lemmy(no one I knew run or heard of it), it felt like it was a legend. I never really got to know how good it was and always felt Reddit and Twitter were lacking, never really in control of your memes, never happy with my content, always downvoting stuff. The years went by and my curiosity only became larger as Reddit and Twitter experience was getting worse and worse. I already had experience shit posting and trolling on 4chan since my school days, so last year I signed up to Lemmy and posted my first meme. Next thing I know my feed is breathing again, the grass was definitely greener here. So I switched for both reasons.

Least contrarian Linux user.

So if all world leaders collectively agreed to put aside their differences, ditch capitalism and mobilise their entire populations to actively work to reduce emissions tomorrow we might stand a slim chance of preventing the worst case scenario…

It’s just a bit of a pointless distinction. No atheist could claim they know for sure.

I don’t think it is possible to prove a deity exists, but I’m fully open to the prospect of being wrong.

Sounds like straight up atheism to me…
