I consider rage bait anything that purposefully riles people up without any productive outcomes. Say, you can have a heated argument with someone because you have an interest in the topic and/or seeing other people’s points of view (even if you strongly disagree), but if your purpose is just for the sake of getting reactions, well, that’s ragebaiting.

It overlaps with trolling, but trolling is more broad- you can troll to make people confused, shocked, to mock someone in particular, etc. Trolling includes also getting people into gotcha moments, engaging in a heated argument just to be annoying to one person in particular, trolls like to see people make fools out of themselves. Ragebaiting doesn’t necessarily have that, it’s more about getting the crowd to express their annoyance at something, not necessarily your actions.

Chill, happens more often than you think. I work at a mall and there is one level in which the male and female toilets are switched compared to every other floor, the one closest to the lifts is women’s, the next is men’s but in the other levels it’s the opposite. I’ve walked into the wrong one more than once

Ok but why on Science Memes? I’m also confused, not downvoting but wondering wtf why here.

Waiting with baited breath for Lemmy community to turn this into a science meme

I would rate it a 4 out of 10 stars but some people say I have really high standards

Lots here suggesting you do the Luigi thing.

If you’re not game for that, I suggest playing videogames. I’m sure there has to be at least one about vampire hunting

Or Photoshop.

Also I’ve burned copper wire for fun and the green flame appears for just a second or so, once it burns (I guess the surface oxidizes? ) it stops. If they put copper on the burners they must have some impressive coordination and speed to turn all three and snap the photo before the reaction is over

Meme where

Thanks. That looked sick. I never used it obviously but I can see why people are sad to see it go

OOTL. What’s Monochrome? The word being so common and I presume its lifespan being so short I’m not getting any meaningful results when searching

Then return to read the comments, maybe you learn something new. Also you can point out which ones make it easier to understand for you.

As someone who considers themselves tech illiterate I find this explanation is good enough

Would have been more useful if they used a photo of this kpop group showcasing the pincer pose they’re talking about. For some people, this article is “hey look at these two completely new things” and "trust me they’ve got something in common that is visible but we chose not to show "

As a woman, my experience says this is largely dependent on the culture. Go to Latin America and men cat call women even when they’re alone. Day, night, at work- doesn’t matter. If anything, I’ve never been catcalled in enclosed spaces such as public transport or elevators, but I’ve occasionally had a hand on my ass if it’s super crowded. If you ask me this totally puts them in the bully category, and bullies can also work in groups.

In Australia I’ve only seen men catcalling women while they are drinking, and yeah they were also not drinking alone. The catcalling also feels sillier or less serious somehow, perhaps because it’s obvious they’re being drunk and stupid.

YMMV.

Edit: also let me add, in the first example men catcall any woman. I think any woman between the ages of 12 and 60 is a good target for catcalling, as long as they’re not morbidly obese.

In the second example, only conventionally attractive women, often dressed somewhat suggestively, get catcalled.

It’s not always against the wishes of the creators. It’s certainly against the wishes of whoever is making money out of it, and fair enough this is sometimes the creator but more often than not we are talking about a middleman, such as a publisher or big entertainment company.

When I see piracy is depriving the creator of revenue directly, it always feels bad to me.

When I see the creatives have been paid already, or have several income streams (and big ones at that too) and the only ones deprived of profit are the middleman companies… Well…

Things me or my parents would do those 40⁰C+ days:

Pull down the blinds to block the sun during the day. If the air is considerably hotter outside, don’t open the windows/doors. Wait until there is no difference in temp to do so.

If access to water isn’t an issue, once the sun goes down you can hose the exterior of the house, walls and any surrounding concrete/stone surfaces. It will cool it down considerably.

If it is really hot I would sometimes put a wet towel on wherever I was feeling the heat the most (usually heads and shoulders/arms). You will need to soak it every hour or so, because it will start to dry and warm up as you wear it. You can sleep like this, too, but you may wake up from the heat under a hot towel that’s nearly dry.

Interesting, I’ll keep in mind

Maybe but don’t you think the light looks fake? Not even photoshopped makes sense. Anyway…

Nothing is really necessary until you develop it enough to make it so. There is potential there. It could turn into something extremely useful, perhaps even life saving. I don’t think we are anywhere close yet, but sometimes you get revolutionary breakthroughs that flip the landscape in a really short time.

Weird and I’m surprised it would have such a narrow snout but hey. Aesthetically an improvement I’d say
