I want it to flop so that studios stop pulling this multi-part bullshit.

Was it the super fake looking video, the "bear" deftly opening a car door, or the perfectly uniform claw marks that tipped them off?

So climate change benefits Arab countries? Maybe now conservatives will support environmental causes.

A Social Etiquette Question in c/asklemmy
[–] Waldowal 6 points 3 weeks ago

Seems like if she's interested, she might invite you in for a drink or coffee next time you drop your kid at their house. If she's too shy, maybe you offer next time she drops her kid at your house. If she stays in her car as little Billy runs up, that's a sign she's not interested (or just busy at that moment).

I also like the idea of offering to take the boys to a movie or something and inviting her. But she may just want to see a movie, so that's not a total green light. If she grabs your dick during the movie though, that's a pretty good sign.

I need a new car, and I really want to go full electric. I'm wondering if anyone regrets buying one? What are the downsides?

What are some fun ways to prank an asshole neighbor I'm moving away from? (self.asklemmy)

Not really me. A friend of mine is moving out of state. His neighbor has been a total dick the entire time he's lived there. Constantly commenting on how my friend's yard isn't as good as his. Mean to my friend's wife and kids for no reason. Just an asshole of a person.

What are some ideas for fun pranks my friend can leave behind?

Most don't load for me. Just get a black screen. The ones I've checked were mp4s from imgur. Not sure if that accounts for all of them though.

Edit: I think it started after the most recent update. Edit 2: mp4s from catbox.moe also doesn't work. It shows a spinner at the bottom but never loads.

My understanding is a valid sudoku should have 1 unique solution. But in this one I just finished, the circled numbers seem to be interchangeable. Am I missing something?

Madame Web toilet flush (self.movies)
submitted 5 months ago by Waldowal to c/movies

Since it recently hit Netflix, I decided to see just how bad Madame Web really is.

45 second in, while showing the ever-present Marvel logo with the flipping comic book pages, I notice the sound effect is different. It vaguely sound like pages flipping, but it's definitely a toilet flushing.

Did they buy into the bad reviews and literally decide to say: "check out this turd of a movie" with the intro sound?

Filter to 1-star and note how many reviews are direct copies of each other - many referencing that the Obamas are executive producers.

Pfizer is sued by Texas over COVID vaccine claims (www.reuters.com)

This all revolves around conservatives focusing on ARR instead of RRR numbers on vaccine efficacy. Here's a description I found of the difference from another article:

Let’s say a study enrolled 20,000 patients into the control group and 20,000 in the vaccine group. In that study, 200 people in the control group got sick and 0 people in the vaccine group got sick. Even though the vaccine efficacy would be a whopping 100%, the ARR would show that vaccines reduce the absolute risk by just 1% (200/20,000= 1%). For the ARR to increase to 20% in our example study with a vaccine with 100% efficacy, 4,000 of the 20,000 people in the control group would have to get sick (4,000/20,000= 20%).
