I don’t know what technically constitutes the most troublesome username, but surely some of the kaomoji Japanese folks have come up with are up there. Good luck trying to type these.

I think the first person to use an obfuscated name like lIiḷ|ḷiIl was pretty clever.

Thank you for introducing me to Your Name. I just finished watching it. Absolutely wonderful film.

They should have sent a poet.

Dragostea Din Tei by O-Zone, though I think I heard it on NicoNico Douga before it became known as the NumaNuma Song.

Came here to say this. If you haven’t heard this remix yet do check it out!

Lots of folks saying “why don’t you just dry and put your dishes away?” but I have this exact model and use it mainly for storage. Zero cabinet space in my tiny kitchen. With this I can actually own enough plates and bowls to feed guests!

As an origami fan I would be very interested to see how they managed to fold this thing up.

I’m so used to seeing difficult to read text in captchas that my brain didn’t even register the giant “79” at first and started with the squished characters. Guys, I think my model is overfitted…

First I just want to say, that is a damn beautiful website. No ads, no popups, just pure information.

And second, as a former back end developer who has spent a huge amount of time working on input sanitization and building database schemas, that list gave me mild PTSD for a job I have never even had.

Simply being reminded that this video exists never fails to brighten my day.

One time while reading on my phone in bed with the lights turned off a single solitary firefly-like point of light appeared and drifted across my field of vision. It had depth, so I know it wasn’t a phenomenon originating just in one eye, and wasn’t constrained to the screen. There is also a zero percent chance it was an actual firefly. My only explanation is that it might have been a hypnagogic hallucination, but I’ve never seen one as bright and clear as this was. Like an ember from a bonfire.

I was really intrigued by the idea of short “jury duty” sessions with 12 random strangers in which you have to debate and try to come to a consensus on an issue. Disappointed to see it’s just a one-click opinion poll instead.

It’s not round, but it’s not flat either!

The Sony Mavica FD91 was the first digital camera I ever owned! I used it the last couple years of high school and during a short homestay in Japan. You could pick up a giant box of 3.5" floppies for cheap, and as long as you fed it a stead supply of batteries it worked pretty well.

Here are some photos I took that are at, I believe, the highest quality setting (1024 x 768 and about 170kb each). Though I think Lemmy shows them shrunk down in the feed, if you open the image in a new tab you can see the full resolution.

Zoomed in.

And a closeup.

The 14x optical zoom was pretty amazing back then.

Can they add a little speaker and have it play some smooth jazz when unzipping?

I just got back from visiting my parents who were struggling to fix an unreliable dishwasher that keeps clogging, fails to dry, stinks, etc. This is PERFECT timing for that video!

A similar machine also plays a role in the 1997 movie Contact.

In hopes that I can generate a sentence that no LLM has ever trained on before, “Extravagant paperclips contemplating stationary pomegranates spilling yellow sensibility.”
