Did you go back a month in my history to comment on this or stumble upon it naturally?

I learned this on cracked.com! I don’t remember how long ago it was, but I wonder if they had a similar source.

For the immediate future, I will assume that “Chihuahua Taco” is a grammatically correct Spanish sentence.

Talk to that guy who recently posted about being exposed to Taco Bell for the first time.

Just because I’ve owned two Chihuahuas in my life doesn’t mean I approve of the franchise!

edit: Also, I don’t actually speak (or read or write) Spanish, so this is the only comment to which I can usefully respond. I have no actual ire toward you.

Everyone should have responded in Spanish.

Not only is this true and annoying, but other things about the ads are getting worse, too.

I recently had to factory reset my TV and, after the first time I opened the YouTube app, immediately had to find the “don’t play video preview” option. It worked, except for the huge banner ad at the top of the list of videos, which still saw fit to play with deafening sound when I didn’t immediately change the video selection. I can’t find a setting to disable this.

Also, I’ve noticed the “fewer ads for this long video” message popping up during videos longer than thirty minutes (and now it seems like longer than twenty minutes). Not only is that message condescending like they’re doing me a favor, but I’m pretty sure it’s not true, at least not by much; and the ads are definitely longer and mostly unskippable.

Like someone else says in this thread, it feels like extortion.

Reminiscent of an old Windows screensaver.

Old.

I call my toddler “Little Bean” as a term of endearment (well predating my knowledge of lemmy, let alone this trend). I just showed this picture to my wife and said it was a representation of our toddler when they’re an adult.

My wife rolled her eyes at me.

edit: Clarification.

You’re allowed to add buttons? I thought modern phones only took them away.

In this very comment you said “having a weird hobby.” There’s nothing wrong with having a weird hobby, but it’s not normal.

None of my favorite people are “normal.” So long as their hobbies don’t cause harm to anyone, that’s fine.

My feelings toward furries are entirely neutral and I don’t support the claim that normality is a positive automatically.

That said, I disagree with your claim.

I agree. My intent is not to defend the design, only to explain that the car does not physically prevent you from opening the doors. If it did, I doubt it could legally have gone to market, though I’ve been disappointed before.

In the case of my car, it’s actually primarily for my wife. She has a cricut and printed out stickers indicating the various hidden ways to interact with the car.

Also, in my experience, almost every adult who has tried to open the door from within has asked what would happen if the battery died, so after their first time exiting they theoretically know how to exit in an emergency.

Not a good design or UX - Tesla is way too obsessed with minimalism - but not automatically a casket.

I have many objections to Musk and Tesla, but I bought a used Model 3 before learning about all the insanity. The doors are designed to open with power, it’s true; this is because they were built without a top frame, apparently to reduce weight, so the powered button lowers the window as the door opens to avoid damaging the glass.

However, there is an emergency lever (that would be easy to miss for sure) that just mechanically opens the door with no need for power. I have used this once to make sure it works and can confirm it exists and functions. Presumably, this is true of the Model Y as well; I can’t imagine that a vehicle could pass any kind of inspection if there were no way to get out without power.

This is essentially the premise of Stop Killing Games but in a different world.

A long time ago, I saw a post on Reddit from a user saying (paraphrasing because it was a long long time ago) “the only thing I want from a TV is an HDMI capable rectangle.”

This exists now in the US at Target. I liked them, actually.

What if you don’t eat for 24 or more hours?

When my toddler was much younger, they would take a bath in warm water, then get out in my well air conditioned house, shivering violently and happily declining any attempt to warm them up. We would always end up warming them up in the end, of course.

Nowadays they’re a bit older and will seek out the biggest pile of blankets they can find at any opportunity.

Your point is fair, but I respectfully disagree. “Beans” being plural makes me want to use “many.” “I had too many of the refried beans” parses fine for me.
