Wikipedia lists influencer as a synonym for internet celebrity, so I guess just when they become famous.
Unless you take the title literally, then it’s whenever they become influential over a statistically significant portion of the population.
This is why pirates were wearing eye patches, to be able to enter the hull of the ship and see immediately without lighting up a candle. Fire is not a good idea inside a wooden ship filled with black powder.
This is one theory for why pirates wore eyepatches. We haven’t found any historical evidence to confirm it. Meanwhile, we have at least a few documented cases of pirates wearing eyepatches for protecting a damaged eye.
This is not true. There are a litany of laws that capturing a wild duck from a public park would be a violation of, so don’t do it.
I pirate content that is not in print within my region. Fan subs of Japanese TV shows, emulated games for discontinued consoles, things like that.
As an American who has gotten very used to metric units in studying engineering, the general rule I picked up is that you typically only change units every three orders of magnitude. So 8 decameters would typically be expressed as 80 meters, maybe 0.08 kilometers. Decameters and hectometers are a thing, but they’re not common units. Even centimeters don’t see much use compared to millimeters.
Yes, in fact such a machine already exists. It’s called an air conditioner. An air conditioner is just a heat pump that pumps heat out of a building.
But they didn’t decide it directly and arbitrarily, as OP is suggesting might have happened. The power to elect the President is in the hands of the Electoral College, and the House of Representatives. The most that a Supreme Court can do is tamper with the process of tallying the popular vote.
Because the onus is on the farter to say something courteous. Because we, for some reason, decided that a involuntary, natural bodily function is rude.
No, this is a myth someone made up to scare people. There have been no recorded cases of cockroaches living in a human penis.

J.J. McCullough did a really good video about this fact, I’d definitely recommend it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCVQKD3jH2M&ab_channel=J.J.McCullough
Because the Republican Party aims to represent the minority of Americans who do oppose abortion access. That’s the job of a political party, to represent a voting interest. If every political party aimed to represent the voting interests of the majority, they would become irrelevant.
Daryl Davis has managed to persuade several KKK members to leave the Klan by being a friend to them. So it has happened.

Isn’t the point of the fly swatter being mesh to minimize those air currents?
I’m guessing it’s because different parts of us mature at different rates. Brain development continues into the early twenties, so mind-altering substances are generally regulated with that in mind. Physical maturity ends in the late teens, so things like military service eligibility start there. Other activities are based on more abstract measures like responsibility, emotional stability, etc.
Me too. Pretty standard way of pronouncing word-initial X in English.
Is ‘karma’ even visible on Lemmy?
To be sure, you don’t have to be anti-capitalist to want to use Lemmy. I’m just saying that it’s very appealing to anti-capitalists.
At least in my experience, ads are rarely that obtrusive. They’re usually either shunted off into a sidebar or, in the case of a video site, short and/or skippable. I have run across more intrusive ads in the past, but they were few and far between. I have an adblocker now, but I have more than a few sites whitelisted.
Despite appearances, the gull wing doors don’t actually require that much horizontal clearance. There are videos online showing you only need a few inches
I think the claim that the world is anti-intellectual is somewhat biased. I don’t know if that’s a sampling bias, a cognitive bias, or some other kind of bias. But one way or another, I feel like you’re overblowing things.
