No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does anyone else feel like websites nowadays feels very broken compared to apps? Like you try to do transactions on the mobile site (eg: ordering food), and payments mysteriously declines...
1·2 days agoYeah, I did the video call on a desktop PC.

2·2 days agoID.me is super painful, but you can verify yourself without a smartphone or any apps. I’ve done it.

11·3 days agoNo, but only because I do not use apps, so do not have a reference to compare with. If I can’t do it on your website, I don’t do it.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How come if my dog is sick and I take him to get put out of his misery its ok? On a human its not? How come human laws don't apply to animals? I think of our dog as family and he's one of us?
91·5 days agoI guess because cats don’t really bond with people like dogs do.
I used to believe this, too, until I bonded with a cat. It’s definitely a different relationship than with a dog but just as valid, in my experience. Their personalities are different from dogs and vary much more from cat to cat than dog personalities do.
I have one cat that is dumb as hell and another that is sometimes dumb, but surprisingly socially intelligent and really changed the way I understand cats.
I think it is easy to come to the conclusion that cats are not as social as dogs, because the way they communicate is very subtle and a bit counterintuitive to humans.

CD rates are shit right now, thanks to low interest rates.
Actually, they are really good. The interests rates have come down a bit from their peak, but aren’t actually low at all compared to the last 10 years. There hasn’t been a better time than the last 3 years to be in CDs since basically the 90s.
I am mainly in CDs due to external factors that make locked in returns over regular periods more attractive than other options, though.
Yeah 8% over 1 month is pretty huge. Not suggesting this will actually happen, but if the current trend continues at the same rate, it will be a 62% loss over a year.
A short period of time before the Iran war started, I pulled all my money out of the market and am 100% in CDs now. I didn’t time the top perfectly, but that’s never really my goal anyway, and I’m definitely beating the market right now with modest returns.
Well, it’s been 4 weeks, so I’m back! Here’s the S&P 500 over the last month, with no end to the Iran war in sight.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why does the US put so much emphasis on high school and also nostalgia for high school?
91·7 days agoMarx died in 1883, but secondary education in America was very rare at the start of the 20th century and the typical American high school experience, that OP refers to, did not exist until the middle of the 20th century

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do movie theaters work? Which seats in theaters are the best? (never done this before) Also is the IMAX thing actually any different?
26·8 days agoIMAX is total garbage. Turns every seat into the worst seat in the theater. Definitely the least ideal way to view a movie. It’s just a gimmick to justify outrageously priced tickets. Great way to induce a headache from both straining your neck and eyes.
It’s incomprehensibly special and rare that our moon amd star are just the right size and just the right distance away for us to experience almost perfect eclipses.

Technology@lemmy.world•iPhone New iOS Age Verification Sparks Outrage as Users Say 'I Will Switch to Android'English
23·9 days agoNo, I do, and I’m objectively correct in my use of it.

6·9 days agoI’ve never had an iPhone, but I had a gen 2 or maybe gen 3 iPod touch way back in the day. I definitely jailbroke mine, so maybe that has skewed my memory of its usability, but it was not bad like trying to use an iPhone today.

207·9 days agoI had to spend a lot of time interacting with someone else’s iPhone recently while traveling, and the experience was shocking. Can’t believe how bad Apple has gotten.
EDIT: LOL at the downvotes, enjoy your overpriced privacy nightmare that lacks basic, standard features or usability. It was extremely clear that the entire UX was shamelessly designed to limit you from doing anything that does not lock you in further to the Apple ecosystem

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Lentils; Which, why in what?
3·10 days agoI cook green ones with a little rosemary and bay leaf, then salt and pepper them and mix them into rice. It’s pretty basic but cheap and not bad for lunch.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do pot or other drug dealers "lace" their drugs knowing full well it will pretty much kill their customer base and rep? Is this not like a retail store telling customers everyday FUCK YOU and hope
93·10 days agoIt’s definitely rare but it is not unheard of for disreputable dealers to spray cannabis or fake cannabis with synthetic cannabinoids to fake the quality or increase the strength.
