Used by _whom_ ?
Goose Chasing Guy meme Comic with 2 panels. Top panel: closeup of a goose's head, who is narrowing it's eyes as if being inquisitive Bottom panel: someone wearing a padded jacket is running away from the goose, who is running after the jacket wearer

Tiny Kitten Update: Today the weather is cold enough to trigger a warm-on-the-couch peace treaty between Latke and Gnocchi.
Photo of 2 cats on a couch. Closest to the camera is Gnocchi, a white and gray fluffy cat. She's in loaf position, looking away from the camera towards Latke. Latke is at the end of the couch. He's a fluffy black cat with some gray tufts. He's loaf too, looking at Gnocchi. They are on top of a sheet and blanket. Photo of the same 2 cats on a couch. Closest to the camera is Gnocchi, a white and gray fluffy cat. She's now curled up against me (I'm not visible, as I'm the one taking these pictures), still looking away from the camera towards Latke. Latke is at the end of the couch. He's a fluffy black cat with some gray tufts. He's now belly up with his front legs extended forward, looking at Gnocchi. They are on top of a sheet and blanket.

If that tong is not the one god made right before the 1st Shabbat then I'm not interested.
Screenshot from the Boarderie website mentioned in the quoted post. It lists 3 sections: 1. Cheeses 2. Accompaniments 3. Accessories This last section is "expanded" to show its contents, which are: 01 - 6 Bamboo Fork Pickers 02 - 1 Mini Bamboo Spreader 03 - 1 Bamboo Tong This last entry for the Tong is highlighted in red

Sharing this pic of these 2 bunnies because I don't often get to perceive bunnies in person; and these 2 are very muppet-y.

( @maimonidesnutz.bsky.social thinking of you )
Photo of 2 bunnies in an enclosure at the pet shop. One is brown and furry (it even has a light colored beard!), the other is slightly smaller and white+tan.

An example of bad localization assumptions: if the user has selected a Latin-American country as their content region, they must want to use Spanish as their UI language, even though the system setting is English.

This gets us shit like "leaving lunes".
Photo of a TV showing the HBO service. On the screen is the info for a movie called "Night Swim" and among the info is a notice telling us that it will be removed from the catalog on Monday. But the text actually says "Leaving lunes" ("lunes" is Spanish for "Monday"). Zoomed in photo of the same TV showing the HBO service. On the screen is the info for a movie called "Night Swim" and among the info is a notice telling us that it will be removed from the catalog on Monday. But the text actually says "Leaving lunes" ("lunes" is Spanish for "Monday"). The photo zooms on the part of the screen that says "Leaving lunes"

That sounds like a story line for/from Cells at Work. (platelets there are working children under harsh conditions)
Cover for the anime "Cells at Work! Platelets". The image is of a white background, the title in the lower right corner and 6 "platelets". They are depicted as young children wearing blue dresses, baseball caps, and boots. They are laying on the ground on their back. Except one tiny one curled up in a fetal position. Some are smiling, others appear to be in pain.

Ah the " ‘View full thread’ always/never delivers" dichotomy.
Screenshot of the BlueSky app that shows a post (OP). (This post is at the top of the one that contains this image). It reads "Even the Heritage Foundation's data showed inflation under Joe Biden had fallen to about 3%" that is quoting a post that reads «Mike Johnson: "That's the reason the inflation is up, the cost of living is up so high -- because of the policies of the previous administration. Now, we're working to root those policies out and implement our own, but it takes a little time." » Below is the UI element that reads "View full thread" that opens the full post and reply chain. Then there's a post replying "okay, yeah there definitely is holy spirit in Judaism. also, theologians' consensus recognizes that the literal Biblical Pharisees the two of us are squawking about ended in 1st century CE, or possibly 70 CE at the latest with destruction of the Second Temple." It has a link to Wikipedia's article on "Holy Spirit in Judaism" Below this is a direct reply: "Yes, both Talmuds recount at length the fact that there were no Pharisees after 70CE." (knowing the author, Werewolf Bar Kochba, I know this post is ironic and the one above is not)

Are you tho? Fully aware? Why are you protecting the rep of xtianity? These people are doing shitty things, no one is saying otherwise. That doesn't make them not Christians.

You're falling into the pitfall of saying they are bad like those _others_.
Two panels of the drowning high five meme. The first panel is a hand reaching out from the water, and another hand giving the first one a high five instead of helping. A text label above the hands reads "They're fake" Second panel. The high-fiving hand is not there anymore. Only the drowning one is left, and it's going down. Only the fingers are visible now. A couple of bubbles are surfacing signaling air is running out.

It's a bit of a pain to photograph spiders that are "floating" in the air (dangling from a silk thread from the ceiling, or in this case a web in the middle of the air) instead of on a wall. So we see in 1st photo only the faraway leafs are in focus and the blurry spider in the foreground. Then…
Photo of a blurry spider on a spiderweb, leafy background is in focus. A photo of a spider in sharp focus on a spiderweb, leafy background is blurry. We can see it hanging down, with its abdomen towards the camera. We can see 4 spots on the abdomen (well, under it). A photo of a spider in sharp focus on a spiderweb, leafy background is blurry.

Respect the audacity and ambition of a spider that spins a web across the entire front yard.

We can see it climb down (top of the video near the start) the wall (covered in clinging plants) via a thread to the web in the middle. Then stays there poking the threads of the web.

This results in less "flickering" on the ON/OFF switch, to call it somehow.

This next graph shows a time graph with the temp above, then a graph showing on/off state of a simple thermostat, then below the one with hysteresis. That one avoids switching in quick succession.

5/5
Comparison of the action of an ordinary comparator (A) and a Schmitt trigger (B) on a noisy analog input signal (U). The green dotted lines are the circuit's switching thresholds. The Schmitt trigger tends to remove noise from the signal.

… on and off constantly.

A thermostat that uses an hysteresis loop would instead turn the AC when the temp reaches 27° (f.ex.) and turn it off until it goes below 23°.

The graph would be temperature for the x axis, on/off for the y axis.

4/
Transfer function graph of a Schmitt trigger electrical circuit. X/Y graph where the x axis is labeled "in", the y axis "out", divided in 4 quadrants. The graph is like this. In the lower left quadrant the graph starts from negative infinite at the left and moves rightwards (at height -M) until it crosses the Y axis. When it reaches T value it stops and goes up. It crosses the x axis and continues until height M where it meets an horizontal line coming from positive infinite from the right. Those joined lines move leftwards until they cross the y axis and continue until position -T where it moves straight down, crosses the x axis and continues down until it meets the initial line coming from infinite left. These lines form a rectangle. Each of the sides is marked with an arrow pointing in counterclockwise direction.

I beg you to understand that you're trying to be too clever by attempting to use your target's insults against them, but failing. You're going "these bad people insult others by comparing them to Jews. So I'm going to call the bad people out by comparing them to Jews as well".
