It’s not graphite, and it’s very dissimilar. It’s a composite, usually of graphite and clay.

Graphite pencils can only write in metal or rocks. They are not good even for wood.

Some versions of it are just trying to make the world better; some are plain baldfaced authoritarianism.

TBF, anarchy is the ideology that claims people being shot on their back after the revolution is a problem to be ignored with one’s entire strength. It’s no wonder that this exact problem always happens to them.

People already made liberalism in the 17th Century.

That would be too conspicuous.

Please tell me that game will have a new version decorated in red and blue, where you have to analyze the candidate’s social media history!

WTF, is the car on the top of a hill?

23k dollars:

41,314 yuan

So, in average they had 5k dollars to spend on everything that isn’t food and rent… And you are proposing they are rich?

It has plenty of ironic thoughts thrown in there to break the darkness, if you want to read it that way. Or they can just make everything more desperate if that’s what you want.

AAaaaafication

It’s not “tiny”. It’s “space efficient”.

There’s nothing to know. Lemmy is just into corn right now.

Why do you think posting corn would make the community some rule not related to corn?

And also, aren’t we on the second or third day of corn-week already?

Some people claim to use them to plug generators into their homes when the lights go out.

But your generator should plug into some place before the main panel, and it’s easy to put the right connector on that one place destined to it and where you shouldn’t plug anything else. So it’s people not prepared to use a generator, that want to use one anyway, and that have to be sure to disconnect it before the power comes back on or they will find the main use-case for the cable (AKA, the one on the meme).

Some (many? most? IDK) gold sellers are scammers. They will sell you overvalued stuff and insist it’s extra-valuable because of some feature they made up. They are the ones being loud on the web and making you hear about it all the time. So, if you hear an ad, and buy gold, you’ve probably fallen for a scam.

But investing in gold by itself is just like any other commodity. And just to say, the rule on that last phrase is valid for almost everything (it’s absolutely valid for stocks and investment funds).

That one makes .world throw an error for some reason.

It’s not the “this community does not exist” page, just an error.

It varies from like “like straw animal bed after weeks of use” to “almost exactly like burning sulfur”, passing through “like burnt black powder”.

It’s absolutely rich in hydrogen sulfide, but I have no idea what causes that diversity.

Oh, so a con-man, not a stupid man.
