Since Beehaw isn’t federated with the instance you linked, I’ll paste the comment you linked here for anyone who doesn’t want to mess with opening it externally:

This article is based on a report from the Independent https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/china-hypersonic-flights-speed-concorde-b2051192.html nowhere does it say they have completed a test flight.

The brand Space Transportation, also known as the company Beijing Lingkong Tianxing Technology, has released an animated video which shows how its proposed “space flights” might look

That’s awesome. I hadn’t heard about that. I love silly shit like that! :)

Fuck yeah! You get it.

I’m glad you addressed this. As soon as I read the title of the post, I knew there would be people who use it as an excuse not to try to do what they can to reduce their negative affects. Which is so incredibly frustrating. Every! Little! Bit! Counts!

The only reason I know/knew is because I googled it way back when, ha!

IIRC, it had something to do with how the software formatted comments. If you just used regular spaces to try and line the triangles up, it wouldn’t work, because the formatting would ignore any spaces at the beginning of the comment. So you had to use a different kind of invisible character, one it wouldn’t ignore and get rid of, by using an alt key + number code that’s slipping my mind because I’m not in front of a keyboard to use the ol’ muscle memory.
(Although I rarely ever actually posted or commented. I took ‘lurk moar’ very seriously.)

A lot like how on here or Reddit when people try to do the shruggy guy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but because of the way the formatting works they get ¯_(ツ)_/¯ since they don’t know enough to figure out how to make it display the way they want

… I’m sleep deprived, can you tell? Lmao

That’s exactly what I was just thinking! Lemmy’s formatting doesn’t work the same way, so it doesn’t work correctly here. I think this is the best I can get it, lol.

Once again I find myself thinking, “Dammit, Google!”

Thank you very much for the text summary, I really appreciate it :)

Ha!

Just in case it makes you feel any better: I’m a native English speaker who always aced the reading comprehension tests back in school, and I read it the exact same way. Lol! I’m glad I wasn’t the only one. :)

Yikes! Thanks for sharing this, OP.

To me they smell like a strong chemical-y smell. A lot like a Sharpie.

You should get a really powerful slingshot and yeet them right into some petroleum executive’s face!

But if we regulate burp strength, ejaculation mass, and toxic fumes, my husband won’t have any hobbies left!

That cute little mascot is just gosh darn precious!

Hell yeah! This comment is spot-on and it totally rocks and so do you.

Oh my goodness, I’m listening to a cover of Lola by The Kinks (that repeatedly says “La la la lo-Lola,” in case you’re not familiar with it) when I saw your comment and username! What a neat coincidence.

Is your username choice a reference to that song, by any chance?

Looks like a great article. Thanks for posting it! :) I hope that we do ‘rewild’ the Internet, but I don’t know…I don’t have much faith that it’ll actually happen because of those who stand to keep raking in tons of money by keeping their monopolies/duopolies/etc and all the power they have. I hope I’m wrong!!

Try not to suck any dick on the way to the parking lot!

Suddenly I feel myself swooning and am very attracted to you

They kept mentioning safety issues being a factor; I wish they had at least mentioned some of them. It could’ve helped spread that information and taught people something.

I don’t know if it’s still a thing, or how well it would work for your usages, but I used to use an Android emulator application on Windows called BlueStacks. Might be something to look into. I hope you find something that works well for you!
