  • Actually yes: Consumer protection regulations exist for cars, RC/drones and parts, canning supplies, and certainly guns. All those components are set up so that they function a certain way, more dangerous versions are restricted, and governments try at the very least to educate people about the dangers of just DIY stuff (e.g. safe home canning). Your illusion of competent adults is created, in part, by a framework of regulatory guardrails.

    Where did I say ban everything that’s dangerous? Do you want to have no restrictions on anything? Lots of things that are dangerous are banned or restricted, and you’re probably alive and healthy today in part for that.

    Dude distilling 5 gallons of wash with no understanding of how it works, the danger to him or his neighbours, no regulation of the parts or ingredients that go into his setup is a menace and an accident waiting to happen.


  • Ahh, you can just go buy a gun and use it in your own home with no license or background check eh? Rah rah America I guess.

    As for the rest, there are layers upon layers of consumer protection regulations that go into limiting what parts you can buy, what can be imported, what quality it is, how it should work. I guess if you’re gonna be real intense you can go buy some lithium cells, motors, 3d print parts etc, but outside of that there is a vast framework of overlapping regulations trying to keep stupid people from hurting themselves or others. Your ignorance of the systems protecting you doesn’t mean they aren’t there or that they aren’t important, and they probably contribute to the illusion of competence and divine support so many have. It’s not Good keeping you safe, it’s actually the government.







  • Wrong again! The image you linked is not the first image, but clearly is the source of the training for the AI image.

    See

    • different goat face position, eye, colouring
    • missing goats at the bottom left of the image
    • completely different cliff face

    Since these deficiencies are obvious and anyone can see them, that leaves Lemmings to ask, why are you defending this? Are you

    • trolling?
    • karma farming?
    • a bot?

    Cause your defence of this is as fake as the AI images in the meme and muddies the waters, supporting breaking Rule 5 of this community. Why do you support AI slop when it is against the rules?


  • Does no one know how to enlarge images anymore? This is clearly AI slop, just zoom in on them it is painfully obvious as the

    • background goat in the first photo has no head and is stuck in the wall up to their shoulders.
    • both goats in the second image have extra horns or a leg tail or some random white fluff coming out of their face
    • both goats in the third image are just approximations of goats blurred together




  • At one point I worked in a role where I helped people with tech issues, including getting printing and scanning done for documents that needed to be signed.

    I regularly had people coming with letters to potential landlords for printing/signing/scanning, thanking the landlord for the opportunity to view a rental, noting the listed rent, and offering a higher rent and/or a cash gift if they were the tenant who was selected.

    Very illegal and scummy, exploiting desperate people and families. This app feels like the codifying of that shady landlord behaviour.
