This CDC article about a study from the 90s looked at 90 children who had ingested cigarette butts. Although some had to be hospitalized, all recovered fully within 12 hours.

So, yeah, definitely not a good idea.

It's so awful that these are harvested for skate boards. Are those sick ollies really worth it?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Good to know. Maybe I'll give Tubi a shot then.

But, I don't have a USB charger that can draw power from a black hole.

Oh. Yup. I didn't see that. Idk how good Tubi is with ad blocking, but I can tell you that it works with YouTube.

I thought I recognized this. MST3k did an episode on this one.

I was gonna suggest this. Have you tried dolphin on your phone, OP? If it can run the games well, then just add a controller like the "GameSir Lite" for relatively cheap.

So, the girl on the poster. That appears to be a real photograph. (I know the background isn't real.) However, they've done something to her that makes the photo look unnatural. You see this kinda thing in art from the time yet not anymore. Does anybody know what's been done to it?

SE USA. A cashier who doesn't want small talk here is rare. I've even had small talk happen at Aldi's. I didn't know they were trained to not do that, as the other poster said.

This is a fun one to scroll through. Maybe somebody will enjoy it.

I made myself a wallpaper to force myself to study toki pona. Maybe someone else will like it too.

The developers who created Lemmy are leftists, and they run the lemmy.ml instance. The lemmy.ml (.ml is for Mali, btw) domain was allegedly chosen because ML can also stand for Marxist-Leninist.

I'm not an expert on the subject, but lemmy.ml users are known for being tankies. People don't like that.

However, some of you whipper snappers don't know that those of us with really old accounts joined back when lemmy.ml was the most popular instance. I just like FOSS things.

Edit: added "allegedly"

It's a fresh install of 15.6 Leap that I downloaded and installed last night. Device is a 1st generation Surface Go. I just can't seem to get the onscreen keyboard to stay up when I swipe it up from the bottom.

Also, the keyboard does not appear when I click a text input box.

I thought maybe the long click of swiping up was triggering a right-click, but the problem persists when I disable the long-click option in settings.

I'm stumped. Everything else is working great. I really like that long-click right-click is working, and this is the first Gnome distro I've tried where Firefox touch-scroll works out of the box. And, in general, the system seems faster than other gnome distros I've tried. (The device isn't exactly a powerhouse.)

Thank you in advance for any replies.

Hello all!

My new phone (Moto G Stylus 5G 2024 running Android 14) keeps giving me this alert that an app is giving full screen notifications. The app in question is the freaking telephone app, which I of course want full screen notifications from! There's no option to disable the alert. (The two choices are "go to options" and "not now," by the way. And "go to options" takes you to the telephone app's notification settings.) I cannot seem to find a setting related to this, and I've disabled every Motorola app (including system apps) that I can find in the app list. Although, some of them don't allow disabling.

Anybody familiar with this by chance? I'm getting this stupid alert for every other phone call.

Thank you!

I tried to make my duplicate as different from the original as possible, but they fell in love anyway

I've tried to find them to no avail. I'm guessing the box sets just aren't made anymore, but I figured it's worth asking in case there's some obscure one out there somewhere.

To clarify, I'm looking for a more recent Linux version. I know the older ones can be found on auction sites and the like.

Even if it did work, why would you do it? You'd still be playing League of Legends.

I remember finding them on the Internet somewhere in the early 2000s. I remember that Kimi was one of them, so it would have to have been after the second movie (Rugrats in Paris). Anybody remember these things? I can't find any details about them online.

A dice tray or a set of dice is an obvious and universal choice. Anybody have any more ideas? Thanks in advance.

When I am making a post or a comment through jerboa, I am having a weird issue where if I backspace/delete, the text of the word I'm writing will combine with the word before it.

As an example, if I type

The quick brown foz

And I backspace to fix the typo, I get this

The quick brownfo

If I keep backspacing to fix the problem, it keeps combining words like this

Thequickbrown

It's very annoying and sometimes I have to delete entire sentences and start over. Also, if I have a wall of text and click somewhere in the text to make an edit, sometimes it will keep typing where I was before. Also annoying.

Does anybody else have this issue? It could be a product of my keyboard, which is Open Board from F-Droid. But I usually only have issues like this when trying to type my information into websites that aren't designed for mobile. (Fennec, if it matters.)

I chose my instance 9 or so months ago purely because it was suggested by the Jerboa app at the time. In lieu of making numerous accounts to access communities that aren't federated with my instance, I was hoping to make a second account with a very "federated" instance. Any suggestions?

Despite being here for a while, I've mostly been a lurker til recently and haven't learned a lot. Thanks in advance.
