As someone who grows figs in their living room:

Most commercial (and even hobbyist) fig varieties are parthenocarpic, meaning they don't require pollination.

And fig wasps don't look like that. They're tiny little guys that most people would probably mistake for a very small ant.

And even if the fig was pollinated by a wasp, it uses enzymes to break down the insects body, to protect itself from mold and other pathenogens that such may cause.

Basically; fig waps are itsy bitsy wittle wupies, while figs are digesting their dead mothers corpses, because they are metal as fuuuuuck.

Can someone explain to me why Skoda has such a bad reputation? I really noticed this when I had my Skoda Citigo, which is basically the same car as the VW Up! or the Seat Mii.

But somehow people singled out the Skoda as the worst.

What is the point of paying for the pipe if you don't use everything you can?! There is no reason they shouldn't push it through faster.

This is the reason why I leave the shower running in every hotel I visit. And at the buffet, I tell the waiter to fetch me a trash can so I can actually get rid of the whole thing. If I can, I usually leave both a heater and an air conditioner running in the hallway.

Edit: Wow. I had completely forgotten about this comment. I really didn't think anyone would take it seriously. I work with networks. I know we're not literally going to run out of internet. But everyone treats bandwidth as this freely available resource. Advertisers, consumers, creatives and Jürgen. Fuck you, Jürgen. We both know that downloading 6 fucking MB every time someone wants to queue up the database is fucking insane, as is your reliance on client-side bullshit.

Anyway, whenever a anything loads slowly, think about why. Bandwith is not free. It's a maintained resource.

"Du kannst dir meine Klabusterbeeren vom Arsch pflücken und behalten!"

Tja. Wird wohl heute doch noch die übrig gebliebende Flasche Cocoroco geext, um das wieder zu vergessen.

Also als jemand, der inzwischen 3 Mal auf'm beleuchteten Fußgängerüberweg umgekachelt worden ist: Mich sieht man scheinbar auch nicht.

Und wenn ich an den Natenom-Beitrag denke, dann sieht man auch Radfahrer in Warnveste mit eingeschaltetem Licht bei guten Bedingungen nicht.

Die Mutter von 'nem Kumpel sieht beim Einparken nicht mal durchgängige, 1,8m hohe Wände.

Wenn's danach geht, dann müsste die Welt eine komplett glatte, asphaltierte Kugel sein.

DSW:

Eine helle Nutzerschnittstelle in einem hellen Zimmer schont die Augen. Anders rum, anders rum.

Pluspunkte gibt's für einen Bildschirm, mit vernünftigem Weißpunkt und einem automatischen Nachtmodus zum Abend.

EDIT: hsdkfr734r@feddit.nl hat eine enorm wichtige Frage gestellt und ich schäme mich etwas, einfach so Halbwissen weitergegeben zu haben. Diese Weißheit hatte ich vor bestimmt 'ner Dekade (+/- 'n Jahr oder so) gelesen. Ich weiß aber aktuell nicht mehr wo und kann diesen "Fakt" schlicht nicht mehr mit vernünftigen Quellen belegen.

Hinzu kommt, dass damals™ mein mentaler Medienfilter deutlich schlechter war. Joar. Ggf. erzähl ich Schwachfu. Recherchiert das lieber nochmal.

Das ist lustig. Weil 'dual' klingt eim bisschen wie 'du Aal'. Das ist ein Wortwitz, weil der eine denkt, dass der ihn als Fisch bezeichnet hat. Aber das meint der garnicht. Der meint sein Studium.

(Für normale Menschen, welche sich gerade am Kopf kratzen: Der Aal Witz)

Find's gerade nicht mehr, aber mein Highlight von vor ca. 'nem Jahr war mal die Aussage, dass man mit den Wölfen "Wettrüsten" würde.

Jepp. Mhmm. 300km/h. Muss man wissen!

For programmers: Air fryers have perfected the race to idle.

For everyone else: Probably, but the insulation may not matter as much. Heating up a traditional oven takes anywhere from 15 to maybe 5 minutes, if you got a really powerful one. During that time heat escapes the device.

Meanwhile air fryers usually heat up in about a minute and get the actual cooking done faster.

So unless you are broiling something for a really long time, air fryers may still come out on top, just because they get done quicker, saving energy in the process.

Oven pizza is a 22 minute job. My air fryer is done after 9.

There's also something about air volume and thermal mass, but you get the point.

I once had to look after a friend's german shepard, and while we were out for a walk, some barking guinea pig suddenly decided to unleash all its fury on my friend's dog; even tried to bite the poor guy.

Luckily, my friend's dog is an absolute sweetheart and just tried to flee, almost knocking me over.

Meanwhile, the owner of that showbox-sized spawn of hell decided it was best practice to go "Nununu, we don't do that, Nununu." in a high-pitched voice, while petting the damn thing.

Sure. That'll teach it.
