Not OP but searched up EE’s video on a topic like this. Been a long while since I watched it so I don’t remember much about it in description is the sources. So at the very least you can check some of that type of stuff.

But yeah in general an ICE is horrendous at efficiency vs electric. An ICE blows some 70+% of its energy on making heat we don’t use but instead actively use some of the available energy made to cool it.
People want to trust it as a source of quick knowledge. It is easier to be told 9 goes into 81 a total of 8 times trusting that the computer is always right, because it had access to everything, than to work out the answer given was wrong and is actually 9.
Think of WebMD. People love to self diagnose despite it commonly being known as a bad practice. But they do so because they can do it with less effort, faster, and cheaper than making an appointment to drive to an office so you can speak with a doctor that runs a few tests and gets back to you in a week saying they aren’t sure and need to do that process all over again.
Pretty sure I joined in 2011 as well. I’d check but why give them traffic. The website was only still usable with old reddit and the app is total trash. RiF is what I used to interact with reddit about 99% of the time. When they axed it I left and the flow of people over to Lemmy has made it just fine for my needs.
Sure it is still a little lacking for some of the subs but it’s getting there.
Have always loved dark chocolate. As I got older I liked the darker stuff more. 85-90%. (Fyi 100% is no good. Lol.) Milk chocolate has always been a no for me. Best I can do is tolerate it if the flavor is mostly masked by whatever it is encasing.
Active isn’t very good. I’ve been having good results with hot/new. Haven’t tried top by time yet.
Then I would suppose same community might just be a function of traffic those are receiving vs others so your odds are higher to see the same. Should smooth over as more places get better established.
I’ve had it get stuck in my teath before. A second string of floss seemed unable to find the right spot to go between the teeth to attempt to clear it. A trip to the garage to get some needle nose pliers did the trick.
That was where I first checked. Other commenter mentioned a mod log which seems to have no record of it so I am guessing it just was eaten? Unless there is something else going on. I mentioned it to the other person who commented but at the time I first replied to the other users comment Lemmy states there is 5 comments but I only saw 2.
Agreed. Not sure if there is a fair and easy way for the whole “instance” user distribution but the current set up isn’t straight forward. Not to say it was difficult but my experience with it was an immediate thought of this barrier of entry is too steep. It’s unlike what most anyone has likely ever encountered. (at least knowingly.)
Like mapping a network drive. Is it an actually difficult task? No. Can any significant portion of the general population identify what I just stated? Probably no. Sure a small percent may go on to Google that and figure it out. But in general I find it bad practice to ask that of them.
Would it be reasonable if some algorithm handled that aspect and just default assigned people based on location, maybe a couple quick questions of their interests, and the hosts willing capacity increase rate? Plus some other factors I didn’t think of. In some text could also say you can choose from a list of instances if you so choose or just leave it as is.
The only mega thread I think I ever liked and interacted with was Bloons TD 6. But that was also updated to a new thread each day so it didn’t become a stale no man’s land where comments went to die. (It was for submission of strategy/solution to daily challenges in the game. Some light competition in it too for most unique or efficient set ups.)
Other uses, but infrequent, were around major sales holidays. Subs like headphones or audiophile would make a mega thread for all the sales going on.
But I always felt the vast majority of them just weren’t managed or interacted with enough to make them of use and often I’d see people say things like “you should ask that in the mega thread” and then the reply of “I did and no one replied” type stuff.
I put on my robe and wizard hat.
