superkretWhat app is so useless, you can't believe it costs money?
Call me Lenny/LeniThere used to be an app that was a Dragon Ball Z scouter. You could point it at anything with a face and it would tell you a random power level. Apparently mine is 10,550 (I can barely lift a jug of milk).
Like the wind...Over 9000!!! đ±đ€Ż
utter classic
I donât know, not the worst in this thread at least.
Until we find out itâs actually a white supremacist thing and OP is just pasty af.
âPower levelsâ was/is a white supremacist dogwhistle for cryptofascists, as in âDonât forget to hide your (white) power level.â
Youâd see it referenced on their meme communities on Reddit fairly frequently. At least it was when I still had an eye on what cryptofascists were doing, which I have to say is the best part of Lemmy, not constantly seeing cryptofascist things.
With that app, and that in mind, thereâs a (completely and mostly jokingly speculative) possibility that it was measuring albedo instead of just randomly assigning numbers. Iâm mostly being a miserable cynic bringing it up without evidence tbh.
Oh, that. Worry not, Iâm not a white supremacist (not that I could be, Iâm half Pacific Islander half Scottish). It seemed to have a very loose definition of a face, like you could point it at a drawing or an animal and it would work the same. I take it that it was programmed to assign a number to how closely something matched anime pareidolia.
HoimoBit of context for the power level stuff: knowyourmeme.com/memes/hide-your-power-level
It only became an alt-right thing because it leaked from /a/ to /b/ and to /pol/, but it wasnât originally alt-right. /w/allpapers always has a âpower levelâ thread running with anime stuff that isnât immediately obvious to the casual observer.
