calabast, to asklemmy in A person comes up to you and says, "I can reverse time for just $1 per day." Do you take their offer? How far back do you go?

Keep giving them 1 penny and then tracking them down. Do this for most of your life until you are pretty young, and kidnap them. Then you can just relive your life over and over as many times as you want. I mean, sure, it’s not the ethical way to use their power…

calabast, to nostupidquestions in Why nobody has been capable of designing a painless, ultra comfortable, daily usable bra?

You’re alluding to leg atrophy from wheel chair use, but could you go ahead and explain how you believe not wearing a bra would be less detrimental to your tits?

(I don’t disagree where you say it’s bad for your posture, and I’m not even sure I disagree with you saying it’s bad for your tits, which is why I’m asking for a clearer explanation. Maybe I just don’t understand what you mean by “detrimental”)

calabast, to news in Nearly two-thirds of the top fossil fuel producers in Australia and the world aren't on track for 1.5°C climate target

Yeaaah, that makes a lot of sense

calabast, to youshouldknow in You should learn how to properly write accessible image captions as the fediverse has a large amount of blind and visually impaired users who rely on screen readers

I’ll try to do this, but man it’d be great if there was an AI program that could auto caption/describe pictures as I post them. Or maybe just one that could interpret and describe everything on the screen, for a visually impared user.

calabast, to asklemmy in What was the best video game music of all time?

So many great answers already, but one I don’t think I’ve seen mentioned yet is the soundtrack for Bastion

calabast, to news in Nearly two-thirds of the top fossil fuel producers in Australia and the world aren't on track for 1.5°C climate target

Why say “in Australia and the world”? Why not just “in the world”? Sorry, I know that’s not really important.

I agree that the person you’re replying to didn’t actually refute OOPs claim, but…uhh…I think A=B does mean that B=A

Buuuut…

calabast, to asklemmy in How do I avoid becoming a crotchety old man? I’m seriously asking.

I think one thing you can do is just practice smiling. Smiling sends you good brain chemicals, even if you’re not happy. Maybe those other guys joke and laugh with each other, but not you, because when they see your serious face, they think you don’t want to interact with them. If you smile when you overhear their jokes, they may rope you in. And people just like seeing someone smile. (Generally. If people start looking worried and edging away from you slowly, maybe dial it back a little.)

One other thing I think of as a hallmark of crotchety people is reacting to any development pragmatically or even pessimistically. A lot of things that happen in life could be interpreted in multiple ways, and you can try to focus on the positive sides of things. Boss asks you to do extra work? Maybe it’s an opportunity to impress them, or develop a new skill. Car won’t start? Well, it IS nice out, and it feels good to go for a walk. I know that isn’t always easy to do, often times a thing happens that is just crappy. But try to practice it whenever you get a chance, until it becomes a habit.

Additionally, since that’s not always reliable, make a habit at the end of the day to think of and say out loud 3 things that happened that you were grateful for that day. They can be big broad things like “I’m glad I’m healthy” or even “I’m glad my back didn’t hurt like usual” or really specific like “I’m glad Tony said he’d cover my shift at work, he didn’t have to do that.”

calabast, to technology in 'No-water' hydropower turns England's hills into green and pleasant batteries

Very cool. Do we know what the fluid is? Does it pose any health risks if it somehow leaks into the groundwater?

calabast, to games in Zynga unveils Sugartown as its first Web3 game

Is this game just another crypto ripoff? Or is this the future and I’m just finally totally out of touch?

I’ve read a little bit about Web3 and I both don’t understand it and I hate it.
