No Kittle, Deebo or CMC? Ugh. - Lemmy.World

We are favored to win but not looking forward to playing without these guys…

The contract negotiation song and dance makes me just want to watch other sports instead - Lemmy.World

I’m naive but I just like the idea of having a team that stays a team and competes, less like a business and more like a high school where all of the players are FROM THERE and have pride in the team, the city and the fans. The Olympics is fun because you don’t see Simone Biles negotiating for more money to go compete for China or Russia. We are the USA. We are the 49ers. The idea of Aiyuk playing here and not wanting to just sucks. Fuck off. The business part of this is a boner killer and takes away the magic.

Two 2000's tech things I'm shocked still exist - Lemmy.World

1. PCMag - I used to physically walk into a store and buy that magazine to read about computers…before the internet was so clean and fast it made for a better news and media experience. I’m pretty sure PCMag has been around since they included AOL cds with an isssue. 2. Woot! Lol…why? Woot was always stupid. The deals were never good. There is no need for it. Both of these give me a lot of nostalgia for the early 2000’s. Playing games on Yahoo messenger. GameCube, PS2, OG Xbox. Shocked they still exist, let alone have the funds to be running Facebook ads.

My daughter accidentally flushed one of her AirPods and watched it travel through the sewer system at her high school - Lemmy.World

It’s kind of funny but she was literally bawling at one point. ☹️

2G, 3G, 4G, 5G mobile data made some sens as it represents generational leaps in the technology itself but then Xfinity wants to advertise "10g" internet... - Lemmy.World

Comcast says it represents a 10 Gigabit cable internet network they are building (it doesn’t exist) so they are basically changing the meaning of the g from generation to gig to act like 10g is 5 generations better (or twice as fast)…or that they have a 10 gigabit network. Neither is accurate. It’s still just cable internet that people have to use because they have no other option. Fuck Comcast. I read online they are abandoning the “confusing” 10g branding but I just saw a commercial for it. They think all of their customers are morons and count on folks having no other choices in a lot of cases.

Who would you rather face - Ravens or Chiefs and why? - Lemmy.World

I would prefer to play and beat the Chiefs. The Ravens are very intimidating and they have a great team but I find the Chiefs more fun to watch and while they are hard to beat I don’t feel as afraid of them. Is that crazy?

Anyone else do "last time socks"? - Lemmy.World

That thing where you put on a fresh pair of socks and one has a hole so you think well I went to all that trouble to pull it on, this will be your last day little buddy, I’ll just throw it away after I wear it today. Last chance underwear happen now and again as well but I guess it depends on where the hole is.

Bard is great as long as you tell it what day it is before you ask a question... - Lemmy.World

Honda's commercials saying they are going to be carbon neutral by 2050. What? - Lemmy.World

What does this mean, if anything? How would it be possible for a car company to be carbon neutral? Is this just nonsense/posturing since it’s so long from now?

Can anyone explain "Good Burger 2" to me? why does anyone want to watch this? - Lemmy.World

Background for myself, I was a viewer when Good Burger was a sketch on “All That,” a children’s sketch comedy show on Nickelodeon in the 90’s. It was basically Saturday night live for kids. They had this heavyset girl who sarcastically read the news like Chevy Chase and shit. It was pretty edgy for nine-year-olds. Good Burger wasn’t even the funniest sketch on the fucking show. All of the comedy revolved around Kel’s character talking like a white surfer/stoner guy…like Bill & Ted, also popular around the time. He misunderstood peoples orders in an adorable way…I’d like a shake so he would shake you. Great. In 1997 I graduated high school and they released the movie that year… I guess it’s nostalgic and that’s why people remember it. Other 90s kids? Similar to SNL movies, it had cameos from a bunch of stars, and sort of a built-in audience, I guess, because of TV. I’m not sure if it went to theaters, but if it did, I don’t know who in the hell would watch it. Seems more like a VHS or Nickelodeon in the afternoon kind of thing. For me, I don’t understand how they could squeeze anything longer than a seven minute sketch out of the concept. I guess he Keenan Thompson is funny, but even him I’ve never seen him be funny longer than a seven minute sketch. And Kel is kind of like Jason Mewes, a novelty and not really a comedian or actor. Cool that he’s still around, like the Chinese kid from Indiana Jones. OK then. Doesn’t make sense to me that this movie was made or that anyone is in it or that anyone would want to watch it. But the Internet won’t stop trying to get me to see it. And it has like 67% critic rating on rotten tomatoes. Am I missing something? There are lots of fantastic movies that barely have 67%.
