More interesting superpowers. I want stuff like the powers in Sagrada Reset. Not stereotypical stuff like strength, speed, invisibility, etc.

I also want to see a shapeshifter character as one of the good guys! Why are they always the bad guys?

Give people some superpowers with interesting limitations and make them work together in clever ways to accomplish amazing feats that would never be possible on their own.

The reason why that didn't work is because you need two sticks of RAM. The phrase is, "pairs well."

Ooh! Get an Arduino/electronics starter kit! You'll learn how computers worked in the 80s. Then you'll be able to move on up to say, Python in no time 👍

Haha, that's amazing.

Guess I need to go buy "an inflator" specifically made for phones 🤣

Well... Don't leave us hanging!

Did the instructions work? You'd think it would be harder than inflating a tablet-style phone... Because of the hinge.

Don't go searching for those images! They're fowl.

True story: There's a minus sign on the other side so you can use them to power things with the Holy Spirit.

Try it! You may be very surprised at how much power that is 👍

 

Made this looping video on a whim this morning because you'd think they would've fixed this problem by now (after ~5 years and multiple headsets).

Wasn't sure where to share it so here you go, lemmy.world/Virtual Reality 😁

 

The genie asked the man, "do you wish you were worth a lot of money?"

Onlookers watched in horror as the quickest among them broke off large golden chunks of the statue before they could even get close to claim their own prize.

 

Pool pump has been a bit weak lately: The stream of water pouring out of the hot tub "waterfall" into the main pool had become more like a trickle. This usually indicates a significant clog or that the pool filter needs cleaning.

Considering I haven't cleaned the filter in almost a year I figured that was likely the problem. It wasn't 😮‍💨

Turns out that there's something stuck in the intake at the bottom of the pool which means I have to dive deep with a screwdriver in the super cold water and carefully clear out whatever is in there. Probably a plastic bag or similar.

Note: Never attempt such a thing while the pump is on! In fact, lock it down with some tape and maybe a warning label that says not to turn it on while you're doing your difficult work.

Been a long time since I had to hold my breath under water. I wonder if I can still reach 2 minutes? 🤔 Probably not with this water temperature 🤣

 

As I put a dish into the dishwasher I thought to myself, "🤔 I haven't cleaned the filter in a while." So I took it out and gave it a real good blast with piping hot water from the kitchen sink. I even scraped some of the gunk off with a dish brush to the point where I couldn't find a single mote of gunk upon careful examination.

Then I proceeded to refill the rinse aid (even though it wasn't empty) and--as usual--spilled that stuff all over the interior door in the process. Is it even possible to not spill the rinse aid when refilling it? 🤔

My journey didn't end there, however! I then proceeded to walk the entirety of my home searching for cups and plates that may have been left behind by my children, found several, and it was enough that it nearly filled the dishwasher racks; bottom and top.

The dishwasher has been started; the wait begins.

I've heard this phrase used often by those on the right but every time I hear it I can't help but laugh because of what I picture in my head. But perhaps my image is wrong! I want to read everyone else's depictions.

So as to not influence the responses I will not be sharing what I imagine a "woke mob" looks like.
