    There might be local escapes from the heat as well. I live up north but there's a gorge that's consistently 5 or more degrees cooler than the rest of the ken

    China did that to me too, except I didn't miss my flight. After getting off the plane they made us go through immigration and when they asked how long I was staying I said about 3 hours. Stamped my passport with a 1 day visa haha

    In some states you can buy booze pretty much anywhere. I moved out of the country for awhile and when I went back home I stopped into an ice cream shop slash convenience store, and when I was surprised to see the 6 coolers of beer along the back wall I realized I'd been gone a long time.

    Looks like this one got recaptioned in the Complete Far Side collection. The original had the slugs chanting nonsensically.

    Typical Japanese bullshittery. I watch sumo, and even when there was no official way to watch outside Japan the sumo association would get youtube accounts showing matches taken down. Tons of industries are still run by technological dinosaurs.

    In 2014 John Oliver had a segment on Last Week Tonight where he had "a statistically representative climate change debate", where he brought out 3 scientists arguing against human affected climate change and 97 arguing for it.

    Links that open natively in Sync (like news articles) are often riddled with ads. Is there any way for the Sync shell to open through a Firefox based browser, which includes native ad block? I'm not sure if this is related to what browsers I have on my phone. I do have one chromium based browser (kiwi) installed, and if getting rid of that would fix the problem I could look into deleting it and leaving only FF on my phone. But I'm not sure if it's related.

    I was on a streaming site and fumbled some keystroke that popped up a menu where one option was "disable keyboard shortcuts". I accidentally clicked on it and now the arrow keys don't scroll, space doesn't pause, etc. I can't figure out where that menu is to restore functionality to the keyboard, even after a browser restart. As far as I can tell, this is site specific, as the keyboard works for youtube and other streaming sites. Any ideas? If it helps, the site I was on is fmoviesz dot to

    strange order of credits

    Was watching From (horror series from MGM) and one of the episodes had the credits listed in a strange order. I know there's some politicking in who gets listed in what order, but this was odd because it was for very minor parts. There's a gaggle of 7 scary children who are basically there to look creepy, and while they technically have speaking parts, they all just say the same gibberish word over and over. In the credits for S02E10, after the one guest star, the next screen lists (among other cast) "ghoulish child" #5 and #7, then the screen after that lists #2, 3, 4, and 6 (one of the kids is called "ghastly child" and I guess is more main, though I couldn't really see a difference). Any idea what could cause this? Could kids 5 and 7 be related to the director or something? What possible reason could there be for listing such minor parts out of order? And if they wanted a couple kids featured more prominently, why wouldn't they just call those kids 2 and 3 instead of 5 and 7? edit: [here's a link](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt19815578/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm) to the imdb cast page

    I still don't really understand how the fediverse interacts very well, so this might be something basic. When I access [this post](https://lemmy.world/post/10461985) through the original lemmy.world, there are (currently) 44 comments showing, but when I [access it](https://lemmy.zip/post/8121742) through lemmy.zip, only 9 comments show up. This [entire comment thread,](https://lemmy.world/comment/6502092) for example, doesn't appear through .zip. When I go to that thread's OP's profile through .zip, the comment is missing there as well. As far as I know we're not defederated from lemmy.world, but that's the only reason I was aware of that a user's comments might not appear. Does it have to do with the fact that it's a new instance or something?
