Nope, the geometry actually works out such that it doesn’t matter your distance from the mirror, only how tall the mirror is and how high it’s mounted.

A mirror that is as half as tall as your, mounted at head height, will show your white body regardless of how far away you are from it. TECHNICALLY, the bottom edge must be halfway between your eyes and feet, and the top edge must be halfway between your eyes and top of head.

Like the A in apple.

“Push here to open” on Mac and cheese boxes. I swear they don’t even bother perforating the boxes anymore.

Terminator 2 is in a weird spot since it’s a sequel to an 80s movie but is itself a 90s movie. But I’d nominate it for this award.

“Pele who can’t defend themselves physically”

Like Elon, who pulled out of a fight he tried to start with Zuck because he’d get his ass kicked?

Alaska, Canada, Russia, a few on the -stans.

This is the longest straight-line all-water route on earth.

I mean yeah, that’s funny, but I just like high quality pixel art and 2000 was the last generation before they ditched that (or I guess, the pixels got too small to see)

I prefer 2000, myself

Toilets with threatening auras, you say?

Alas, still depressed

$100M of $VT, secure my ultra-comfortable retirement right then and there.

Disjointed

I got a call from this woman in Boston, out was just a product activation call so I had to read her a 20-character activation string. We use the NATO Phonetic Alphabet for those, to reduce confusion over the phone.

The last character was Y-Yankee. I followed that up with “but I guess that’s a politically incorrect word around Boston, huh?” And she goes on an absolute tirade about how people are way to sensitive, throwing out a few racist dogwhistles along the way.

I just said “Ma’am, I was making a joke about the rivalry between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees.”

She went silent for a few seconds and hung up on me.

Ooh, and they’re deficit deadlifts too. Nice.

Some useful simulations for understanding many proposed voting styles, and the potential drawbacks of each.

Not sure if it’s my specific app or lemmy as a whole, but that spoiler tag isn’t working. Sometimes they’ll break if you put a space between the tag and your text.

Looks like reddit spoiler tags just don’t work in general

France definitely didn’t control Eastern Spain in 1507.
