My whole life I’ve always hated burgers that you get from fast food/restaurants. It’s just a bland beef patty with a bunch of toppings that make it a pain to eat. These places advertise their burgers as being “100% Angus Beef!” or whatever, like that makes it appetizing… Why is this the norm? Do people just not know...
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi — often seen as a potential successor to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei— is missing after his helicopter went down in the northwest of the country on Sunday, officials said....
The company’s previous record-holding carbon capture plant, Orca, sucks around 4,000 tons of CO2 from the atmosphere per year, but the new plant can handle nearly ten times that, as reported by The Washington Post.
The plant’s called Mammoth and boasts 72 industrial fans that can pull 36,000 tons of CO2 from the air each year.
Ackshulaaly that's not nearly 10 times, that's exactly 9 times
Deputies responding to a disturbance call at a Florida apartment complex burst into the wrong unit and fatally shot a Black U.S. Air Force airman who was home alone when they saw he was armed with a gun, an attorney for the man’s family said Wednesday....
If someone enters your personal one meter radius, immediately maintain direct eye contact with them to assert control over your domain. Stare them down. Do not blink. Blinking is a sign of weakness. You must assert dominance over your territory or else (by law) the restaurant will kick you out to make way for its stronger patrons.
I can't believe Star Wars ended after Return of the Jedi. George Lucas could have made a fortune if he'd produced a prequel trilogy, or a sequel trilogy, or made a lot of TV spinoffs.
One of my most hated things in the dying days of Reddit is people having to put the /s because of all the mass down voting from users that didn’t get a post was a joke....
On Kbin, in addition to up and downvotes, there is the Boost option, as seen in the picture.
If you are looking at these comment threads on Kbin/Mbin, when a comment/post is 'boosted,' it is automatically moved up higher in the thread, similarly to if it had been upvoted a lot.
Lemmy does not have Boosts, and so neither do any of the Lemmy clients on desktop/mobile.
Lastly, on Kbin you can look at the 'Activity' on a post which lets you see who upvoted, who downvoted, and who Boosted, which is what is shown in the picture.
I'm calling this guy out for being insecure and Boosting his own opinion to the top for visibility, despite the fact that he's just parroting an already popular opinion in this thread.
Edit: also lol, he unboosted his post at the time of me writing this comment. But the picture captures the original tomfoolery. Also I checked his profile and that guy regularly Boosts his own comments, but I bet he removed a bunch of those by now too.
Not a paid for thing, anyone can do it. As far as I can tell, it was just a feature Ernest (Mr Kbin Sir Guy Creator) programmed without much thought. So it's just a weird unique thing that Kbin can do.
A burger being "100% Beef" is not a good thing
