How do you know it isn't running away from home?

Nearly 80% of Americans now view fast food as a luxury in c/aboringdystopia@lemmy.world
[–] Cap@kbin.social 6 points 5 months ago

If that's the case, a luxury of convenience, then fast food was and still is a luxury. Or maybe fast food was an $affordable luxury of convenience and now it is an $$$expensive luxury of convenience. Ok, that makes sense to me.

Fast food isn't a luxury. A luxury is something extravagant, high quality, and highly enjoyable. Fast food is simply an overpriced disappointment.

Box Office: ‘Furiosa’ Just Barely Beats ‘The Garfield Movie’ in Disastrous Memorial Day Weekend — the Worst in Decades in c/movies@lemmy.world
[–] Cap@kbin.social 18 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I saw Furiosa in the theater Sunday. About 7 people in the theater. Movie was good, tad slow in the middle, but definitely got me tense a few times. I don't know what it is about movie theaters but they always seem grimey and as I get older I don't tolerate grimey things as much. I'd give the movie 7/10 and the movie theater experience 4/10.

My problem is I always forget to listen to the in-flight announcements so I never figure out how to put my seatbelt on.

From the species that brought you the airplane, the atomic bomb, landing on the moon, and gator daycare - introducing swamp side luxury dining next to a fucking congregation of alligators...

How addicted are you to your phone? (kbin.social)

I use mine during work hours, right before bed, and toilet time. After that I sometimes forget where it is. I don't take it with me into places like movies, restaurants, ball games, etc

If I were to lose it today I'd consider getting a replacement in a few days - maybe a week. I do text wife and friends but I'm at the point where if my phone beeps I'll get to it whenever.

I am Gen X if that plays into it.

TIL human bodies can incinerate and turn to ash and dust instantly during a rapid implosion (kbin.social)
 

Titan Sub Implosion

From the article:

When a submarine hull collapses, it moves inward at about 1,500mph (2,414km/h) - that's 2,200ft (671m) per second, says Dave Corley, a former US nuclear submarine officer.

The time required for complete collapse is about one millisecond, or one thousandth of a second.

A human brain responds instinctually to a stimulus at about 25 milliseconds, Mr Corley says. Human rational response - from sensing to acting - is believed to be at best 150 milliseconds.

The air inside a sub has a fairly high concentration of hydrocarbon vapours.

When the hull collapses, the air auto-ignites and an explosion follows the initial rapid implosion, Mr Corley says.

Human bodies incinerate and are turned to ash and dust instantly.

Is anyone using Google search less than before? (kbin.social)
 

I ask because I've been doing a lot of research the last few weeks and Google search has really let me down. I've been finding better results on DuckDuckGo and Bing. Is this a recent thing with Google or am I out of the loop? Any other search recommendations?

Edit: In no particular order, some recommended alternatives to Google
SearXNG
Whoogle
Ecosia
Brave
Dogpile
DuckDuckGo
Kagi
Swiss Cows
Qwant
Bing
