You wake up as a random 10-year-old in 2002 with your memories intact. In your hand is a USB drive with a backup of Wikipedia as of Jan 1 2025. You must keep your identity secret. What do you do? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Step 1: become obscenely rich, at least like 300B before 2016.

Step 2: use my wealth to prevent Trump from becoming president(get fucked pedo looser!), Also gonna uncover the whole Trump Epstein thing early and get Epstein to testify in court against Trump if possible and put that asshole in jail for the rest of his miserable life.

Step 3: lobby for the following with the rest of my money:

  • ranked choice voting
  • public transit
  • a proper healthcare system that doesn't fuck everyone
  • make democracy in the us stronger any possible way I can
  • accelerate green energy transition

Step 4: retire in a comfortable sized house with some cats.

At least that would be my plan, but I feel like unintended consequences would probably fuck me over.

My hopes and my expectations could not be more at odds with each other, and the only thing I know for sure is that one of them will be smashed.

ProtonVPN or Mullvad? Why would you choose one over another? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] this@sh.itjust.works 51 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I like mullvad because I can pay for it with vouchers and have nothing to tie my payment to my account#

I don't think any other VPN can do that.

Theres also the fact that mullvad was raided by the (Swedish)police and even though they fully complied, the police ended up walking away with nothing because mullvad had nothing to give them.

Proton on the other hand, will at the very least be storing your email, payment info, and possibly other info in your account that mullvad won't. I also don't like how they have aligned themselves with conservative politics.

US Energy Secretary: We are punishing wasteful spending of taxpayer dollars ... Do you really want to subsidize E-bike lanes? in c/fuckcars@lemmy.world

Lmao these fuckers can't grasp the concept of a return on investment unless they are directly profiting off of it.

Actually, they probably grasp it perfectly and don't want their viewers to be able to.

One with a playground installed, probably.

TIL the first bullet train line, the Tokaido Shinkansen, was opened in 1964 in c/til@lemmy.world
[–] this@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 weeks ago

Also, no fatal derailings on a shinkansen, ever, in a mountainous country prone to earthquakes and is the origin of the word tsunami.

IMO that's even more impressive than the speed alone, other countries that have high speed rail don't even have that impressive a safety record.

Look at all these people stuck in their metal boxes in c/fuckcars@lemmy.world

Shouldn't it be about double that number because of the second car lane?

Its a shame that they did that, especially since the largest neurodivergent community on lemmy was over there, but for anyone who calls this instance or lemmy.world home I saw we make this the new one.

I can't find any way to change the sorting of comments on a post, I can do this in the web up fairly easily though. I think this is pretty much the only think keeping me from using the app rn.
