I used to be able to type out a full text with my phone barely opened in my pocket in class, certainly can't do that with touchscreens 😅

These days I can type pretty fast on a touchscreen but I do sometimes miss the old days of unique flip phones compared to the boring slabs of glass we get now.

There's still hope for the Habs to end the drought they originally set. If the Oilers can't do it then hopefully they can! God tier rebuild, everything seems to have panned out extremely well in my (heavily biased) opinion.

God damn it I've been avoiding r/hockey (90% of my reddit use is r/hockey because c/hockey on Lemmy is (mostly) dead sadly) since the loss because I'm salty AF that fucking florida of all states has had such sustained success with the lightning and the panthers being good lately, and the first time I ever see a hockey meme on lemmy is this?

Really?

I'm a Habs fan first but the Oilers are my 2nd team and I fucking hate that the shithole that is florida, where the average person is probably dumber than a 5th grader, gets 4 fucking cups this fast while Canada continues it's drought since 1993.

At least I can always laugh at the leafs being an eternal embarrassment, so at least I got that going for me.

Even as a Canadian, I honestly prefer the cheap butter flavored syrup. I grew up on that stuff and I fucking love it so much. Real maple syrup is still delicious but I'll always choose some good old butter flavored syrup.

F-droid is something I genuinely enjoy browsing through, reminds me of the early days of Android 2.0-2.3 when I actually enjoyed using and customising my phone.

I miss the old days of phones being fun and looking forward to both hardware and software upgrades.

Thank you to all the admins, mods and users of .ca! (lemmy.ca)

Hey everyone, with the upcoming closure of lemm.ee I just wanted to say thank you to all the admins and mods of all the comms on .ca, and users! You all are what helps to make this the best instance of Lemmy! Doing those jobs for free can't be easy (admins/mods), what with all the douchebags that tend to populate the internet and make life harder for normal people that just want to chill. I know I certainly wouldn't have the patience to mod even a small comm, let alone help to be an admin of an entire instance.

I tend not to post or comment to much, always been that way, but I've been here since July of 2023 and I browse daily. The stability of this instance is awesome and I have nothing but respect for the admins that make this possible. The mods of all the .ca comms, and awesome users in general really help to make this the greatest instance on Lemmy.

Thank you to everyone, regardless of whether you're an admin, a mod, or just an average user posting their hot takes, shit posts, memes, and great discussion material etc.

Long live lemmy.ca!

Why do we see pets/most animals as cute? (lemmy.ca)
 

As in, what's the evolutionary reason for this? I can get seeing dogs as cute because they probably helped early humans by being "guards" essentially and they're just great companions in general, but what purpose does a cat have for example? All they want is food, and you get nothing in return except a cute cat to look at. Hell, even bear cubs are adorable and they'll eventually turn into something that can kill you with one swipe.

Why do we find animals that are or will grow into dangerous creatures cute? What reason does this serve?

One of the most damning videos I've seen about this. Just reply with this when you come across someone trying to defend this PoS. Fuck this sub-human scumbag.

Why do Red Dwarfs have such frequent and powerful flares? (lemmy.ca)

I love space, I have since I was a kid but I'm not a professional by any means. All my knowledge comes from years of watching documentaries, reading space/science magazines, and looking things up on wikipedia/stack exchange etc.

Red Dwarfs are thought to be the most common types of stars in the universe, but despite that they're generally thought to be a poor choice for life to evolve. From what I've read, this is because planets orbiting in the habitable zone are close enough to be most likely tidally locked, and on top of that, it's thought that Red Dwarf stars have powerful and frequent flares.

Red Dwarfs are thought to have even more powerful flares than our own Sun, despite being significantly less massive than our parent star. Why is this? What causes a star with a potential mass as low as 0.08 solar masses to have such powerful and frequent flares? Why do more massive stars not have comparatively more massive flares?

I've also read that TOI-700 is thought to be a fairly stable Red Dwarf, as in it doesn't seem to flare up the way a lot of other Red Dwarfs are thought to do. What are the possible causes for this discrepancy in flare activity among Red Dwarf stars? Why is it thought that Red Dwarfs are generally quite grumpy and emit a lot of powerful flares?

I'm doing my part! (europe.pub)
 

Been daily driving Bazzite for almost half a year now. I currently have two seperate 2TB SSD’s, one with Windows 11 and the other has Bazzite. Bought a 1TB SSD so I can migrate my Windows install to a smaller SSD since I much prefer Linux now.

Just need to stop being lazy and finish migrating everything I care about off my old Windows install onto my new 1TB Windows install, then I plan to install CachyOS onto the soon to be free’d up 2TB SSD, since I’m curious about Arch Linux. I’ll always have Bazzite to fall back on if need be, or god forbid, Windows.
