News@lemmy.world•Actors say Hollywood studios want their AI replicas — for free, forever
21·3 years agoIsn’t Star Wars the franchise that really kick started the trend of bringing dead/younger versions of actors back as CGI replicas?

Canada@lemmy.ca•Self-checkout theft causing problems for retailers — and shoppers who despise receipt checks
0·3 years agoI was at Walmart the other day and there were four employees standing around the self checkout. They all said bye to me when I left. Weird shit.
At that point, why not just have them work the tills??

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Lemmy, AITA for disliking copied content from Reddit in the AmITheAsshole community?
13·3 years agoUgh you’re right. I admit I’ve scrolled through AITA more often than I should, because something about it is really entertaining.
But it’s like junk food, I don’t really feel good when I’m done with it. More vindictive, like those revenge subs. Being off Reddit has reduced how much I see it, and I don’t particularly want to go back to that.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Why do we use base 60 for time and base 10 for everything else. Why has no one decided to integrate it.
101·3 years agoI think the benefit of having metric in base 10 rather than 12 is that it matches our numeric base system.
123mm is 12.3cm and 1.23dm and 0.123m.
Converting things in base 12 would be a bit more work, not sure it’d be worth it.
We’re not really going around converting time very often.

Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Night in the Woods retrospective - Choosing the best worth path
3·3 years agoWow, I forgot about this game. But I remember it being so unbelievably relatable. Watching the world pass you by simply because you were born at the end of a golden age.
And yet there’s a certain beauty in all the little things, where you say fuck the world and live anyway.
Definitely recommended.

13·3 years ago12 and 60 divide nicely. A quarter of a 12-hour clock is 3 hours, but in decimal time it’d be 2.5 hours. A third is 4 hours in base 12, but some gross 3.33 repeating in decimal.
I just don’t like it.
