And the fact that it's not Putin says something.

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)
  1. Putin
  2. Trump
  3. Netanyahu
  4. Kim Yong Un
  5. Xi

Top 5 dictators the world should be freed of.

  1. Hun Sen
  2. Erdogan
  3. Mohammed bin Salman

Any more?

[–] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Seems like plenty of death fantasies for one person.

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Sad reality of the world that we have so many evil leaders that the world would be better without.

[–] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 1 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

Hoping that them dying solves the issue assumes they'll get replaced by someone less evil, which isn't always the case. Death doesn't fix the broken system that got us those leaders in the first place. It only satisfies the primitive human desire for vengeance.

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

Nah it absolutely creates change. If you take a look at history when a despot dies change follows. Not always for the better but it creates an opportunity for justice and sometimes opportunity is all you need.

[–] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

You say "nah" but I don't see you disagreeing with anything I said.

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

I guess you're right. I might have misread your comment a bit sorry.

Kids copying a funny idea poorly. The original version was this site that tracks whether Abe Vigoda is dead:

Will forever remember him from Good Burger lol.

[–] ___@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 day ago

And Cloudflare protection on it as well, that surprised me

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

sometimes wiki on specific biology/botany related stuff, and peer reviewed site on different categories of biology.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 2 points 17 hours ago

Idk man, I know the methods can be a little math heavy for the uninitiated. But if you look up some statistics classes on you tube, it really helps with even non scientific stuff. It's probably the only math I haven't lost over the years.

As long as you know that Finviz sells a story, and not the truth then that's good.

Altoc seems cool but is any there way I can tune it for my local news?

[–] bender223@lemmy.today 1 points 23 hours ago

those are awesome, thanks 👍

[–] Today@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Alltoc is new to me. That's a really nice site! Thanks for sharing!

[–] dwt@feddit.org 18 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Lemmy (App). RSS otherwise. Websites suck for Daily checking

[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 1 points 9 hours ago

RSS are so underrated nowadays. They're the best way to keep up with all the news and the people you follow.

I still blame Google on the demise of the RSS feeds (when they killed Google Reader).

[–] scytale@piefed.zip 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

wunderground. Can filter down to the zip code to see the weather in your area, and it’s more accurate than most other sites (looking at you Apple weather).

[–] unknown@piefed.social 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Do you know if there's a way to change the scale to Celsius?

[–] scytale@piefed.zip 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

There’s a settings button at the top right to switch to C.

[–] unknown@piefed.social 1 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Oh wow I really need to try and sleep, that took way too lomg to find.

[–] scytale@piefed.zip 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Nah it IS a bit confusing, especially when you’re browsing on a phone. Took me a while to find the Hourly forecast tab when I first checked it on my phone. It’s much better on desktop.

[–] unknown@piefed.social 1 points 20 hours ago

It's still pretty good on mobile though, being able to get data from my local weather station as opposed to a general city average is incredibly useful. Thank you for sharing this.

[–] Erusset@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 day ago

My neighbor even has a small station in the system too. Very local.

This ex weather. I don't go out anyway.

[–] akunohana@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 7 hours ago

I walk to work everyday and I want to know whether I need to prepare emotionally for gloomy weather or not.

[–] PriorityMotif@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] Mountainaire@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

Frankly, I'm surprised that that's still around.
