I just imagined a pair of balls waking up from the Matrix, looking around, and going “put me back in.”

This movie is one of my first core memories. I distinctly remember standing on the movie theater seats cheering with my brother when they played the “The Touch” and my mom smacking us and telling us to sit down.
I also remember Optimus Prime cussing in that movie (“damn”?) and being shocked - but now I can’t find it when searching. So maybe I made that part up?
Lol I was about to say, that’s “pretty reasonably” dressed"?

Sometimes Lemmy posts line up in perfect coincidences and it freaks me out a little.

I’ve only hit Ante 13 so far. I’ve got a looong way to go!
In Joe’s defense, Balatro is fucking dope

3·14 days agoYeah, I wonder about that though. Do you know what childhood vaccines you got? Does your current doctor have a record? I feel like when I was an adult and established care, I had to fill out some forms myself and just say “yeah I got the standard vaccine schedule.” If my mom had objected to some random vaccine and didn’t tell me, I probably would have no clue.

22·14 days agoMy neighbor won’t let her kids get it because of a weird mix of antivax sentiment that sprang up when Biden became president - and also because HPV can be sexually transmitted and she doesn’t want her kids having premarital sex.
Could you imagine getting cancer because your mom is a moron? Those poor kids.

People Twitter@sh.itjust.works•Trying to re-sell kindness?English
16·14 days agoI always struggle with this during garage sales. Most of the time, I don’t even want money for my stuff. I just want it to go to someone who needs it.
But if you put a FREE sign on anything, people will just scoop it up, throw it in a truck already loaded with other free stuff, and take it to the flea market to sell.
It shouldn’t bother me, since the people selling stuff at the flea market usually are pretty poor themselves and probably need to make money. But it just irks me that instead of a mom getting free clothes for her kids, that mom would instead have to buy them at a markup instead.

Technology@lemmy.world•ChatGPT's market share slips below 50% for first timeEnglish
20·15 days agoThe problem with AI is that they cannot increase the prices enough to be profitable.
I saw something about the SpaceX IPO that said for it to be justified at that price, everyone on earth with some sort of money (they defined it as earning at least $14,000/year) had to become an xAI consumer and spend $28,000/year. Seems reasonable /s

Technology@lemmy.world•A $200 ChatGPT subscription could cost OpenAI $14,000 if you actually used it to its full potentialEnglish
8·16 days agoI was talking to one of our cloud architects at work yesterday. They did a test and just ran in “asdf” to a chat prompt, and were able to trace the costs. It was 12 cents.
I could totally see AI costs getting out of control very quickly. Doing something like a Copilot formula in an Excel spreadsheet is easily going to run up hundreds of dollars of costs eventually.
While working on some client code, my coworker and I came across a case statement that said something like
if myBoolean == TRUE then blah else if myBoolean == FALSE then blah blah else if myBoolean is null then blah blah blahEver since we’ve always laughed at the “trinary bit”.
