  • I hate Tesla as much as the next guy, but this article lacks any context and makes some assumptions about malicious intent. Are these the only articles removed, or did they purge a bunch of articles from two decades ago? Maybe these articles were stored in a legacy database and someone finally decided to clean it up, then the media is twisting it into “they’re changing history!”

    (Disclaimer: I’m speculating heavily here given my lack of context, so these may very well have been removed on purpose due to their content)

    My dad doesn’t drink alcohol, but is one of these people. He drinks coffee pretty much exclusively, it’s rare to see him with even a cup of water or anything else. He falls asleep on his couch with an empty coffee mug sitting beside him all the time.



  • I go there still when I want product recommendations that aren’t full of marketing/ads. If I use a search engine to search for example, “dashcam recommendations,” I get a million results that are sponsored, SEO-optimized, or otherwise garbage. If I go on Reddit, I’ll find an entire community devoted to the topic with seemingly real people discussing the pros/cons of all different models.

    I’ve tried searching with Lemmy but most of the time I can’t find the answers I’m looking for so end up crawling back to Reddit.

    I absolutely don’t go there to doomscroll like I used to, I’ve thankfully moved on from that life.



  • I got travel insurance recently for a hiking trip with my wife. We had an emergency and my wife had to be airlifted out by helicopter, and we were so glad to have the travel insurance because it covers emergency evacuation up to $10,000 (and the helicopter costed around $5,000). Awesome, right?

    Well… actually no. Turns out, the terms of our policy dictate we needed to call insurance first and have them organize the airlift. Since we dialed 911 and organized the helicopter ourselves, our insurance won’t cover it. I guess it’s my fault for not reading the fine print, but it feels pretty scummy from the insurance company. Even if we had read the fine print, in the moment I don’t think I would have remembered as my immediate instinct is to contact emergency services.
