This month’s Ask PHlemmy: Like cigarettes, what is widely used and accepted now but wont be in 30 years?
Facebook (hopefully)
I hope electric vehicles and renewable energy will take off and the number of gasoline vehicles will be minimized greatly.
EVs are expensive though, and the government isn’t doing anything to subsidize them unlike in other countries. Their idea of incentivizing its purchase is to exempt them from odd-even which is practically just giving rich people an excuse to skirt coding and add to their 6 vehicle garage.
If Toyota or Mitsubishi will release a cheap electric vehicle here, more folks will switch to electric. Vehicle brand loyalty here is high. Many Filipinos buy Toyota or Mitsubishi.
Creating public chargers will be so pricy. It’ll cost millions. Idk who’ll pay for it. But if the rich folks will figure it out, I think it’ll need to be staffed to prevent theft and vandalism, unlike some nations where public chargers are unstaffed. I think this expense will be passed on to electric vehicle owners.
The goal will be – There must be no low-🔋 worry when going from, say, Laguna ➡️ Baguio.
I think Big oil here won’t just be idle. They may fight the electric vehicle boom to protect their ₱ cow – oil.
Soft drinks? Too much sugar or chemicals to artificially make them sweet. I really like soft drinks, but they are unhealthy.
all sweetened drinks, really. our ‘fruit juices’ are mostly sugar. same with ‘teas’ and premixed coffees. it’s insane.
Unti unti ng nagiging serviceable ang Frontpage > Subscribed ko. Baka dahil nag sub ako sa linux and anime communities, pero majority are still cat pics, as designed. Lol.
Hopefully mawala na yung urge tumambay sa Frontpage > All, medyo puro gloom and doom karamihan ng nandun.
Without reading the full details sa news, kala ko may business sila sa human trafficking lol
I realize that the header image is for the April 1 festivities, but are they indeed the OG r/ph mods?
hmm could probs help to get this offmychest
had to decline a much younger cousin’s invitation to her debut. not the first time i declined an invite to important family-once-in-a-lifetime events (don’t do it, just go). just a little weird there’s not much pushback - then again i no longer associate with family so her expectations were likely very low
like she and i could’ve been close and her mom seems to have thought i would’ve been a good influence to her growing up when she needed help with school and talking about her interests with people who aren’t her friends her age and elders (plus out of all her other cousins our side of the family it seems i was the most patient with her ig?) so i kinda wanna go but then what it’s just weird i’ll just ghost them again after lmao and i have to be chummy with family just for the night? like last time this happened was my brother’s wedding which was kinda lowkey and i still made sure i’d prepare for it and come but members of the family were surprised i did, even my brother was (like what you invited me lol?) and they were kinda feeling i would make a scene so ig they’re also kinda happy i wanted to leave early? lmao
anyway back to my cousin - didn’t have to make excuses and she just went “okay, maybe next time!” but like why is there that sort of guilty vibe like lmao they probably learned of my suicide attempt (which i never explicitly admitted to anyone besides our then helper with whom i had no choice but to disclose because she caught me before i was able to clean up lol) and they probs found my backup tools, by that i mean a bunch of counterindicative otc stuff hehehe like why hide a bunch of otc meds hehehehehe
but like i mean girl you probably read of depression and suicidal people and ig maybe she’s shocked to know someone like that irl and so close to her hehe but it’s not her fault like don’t feel guilty about it kek i’m sad that she’s sad about it but she has to let it go lol kinda sad if the next time she sees me is at my funeral for dying a little earlier as expected? perhaps it wouldn’t sting as much if i make it seem like an accident. hehe i no longer seriously consider it but it’s just cute to think it’ll be easier for them to move on if i just get it over with
my life’s been lame and boring and already deserving of contentment anyway how about we do it for the content ah fuck that dark feeling is coming back and i missed it sooooo much and i love it kesa naman boring jsq
the world’s so stupid and pointless and lame and fucked up but at least there’s plenty of people i’ve met who seem to be much happier without my influence. the joy i could bring to people who’d be sad with me gone won’t compare to the comfort and peace i’d be indirectly giving to those people who are glad i’m no longer in their lives. i no longer want anything for myself anyway like YEAH FUCK I LOVE THIS ♥♥
What a doozy of a week. Attended the funeral of a female coworker who I consider to be a good friend and a kindred spirit. Imagine getting a disease that’s so rare (GBS) only 3k people in the world have it.
Be me, refreshed from 2 day holiday. Opens ticket queue. Sees critical
Ako: Hala, working as expected naman yan ah. Paste requirement screenie.
Works on rest of the queue. Sender replies back.
Sender: There was a requirement change. We looped you in the email. Attach screenshot.
Ako: Luh. San yan. Sees email, sent APRIL 8, 2024 10:00PM GMT+8 2hours after ng out ko.

Naway mas masaya “Monday” nyo mga ka-phlemmings.
Nood ba kayo kanina showtime? Weird na makita join ang abs saka gma, pero mas patok kesa sa fake bulaga lol
While Showtime was must-see TV in the pantry eons ago, I don’t watch noon time shows anymore. I took a gander sa debut nila last weekend and halos hindi ko na mamukhaan karamihan ng mga nandun, haha. I can only make out Vice, Kim, Anne, Ryan, yung rest like yung naka-shorts na white sa gitna hindi ko na kilala.
Ex-Momoland member Nancy McDonie signs with GMA’s Sparkle
I’m surprised hindi masyado pumatok si Nancy. Maybe the lack of individual talent? Pwede naman ma-workshop yun. Looks-wise, she’s one of the prettiest sa k-pop for sure.
any unethical LPT when it comes to dealing with customs?
Namatayan na naman ng former coworker, one who was there with us for the funeral last week. And unlike the latter who was battling GBS complications for several months, this one came off left field.
Softest mod ka talaga @sarcasticookie@lemmy.world 🤣
Ang galing, parang old.reddit haha.
Ayos din sa mobile browsing
It’s been days since I finished Netflix’s 3-body problem. Still thinking re it from time to time. Not a masterpiece so I’m not suggesting that you watch. But the science concepts tickled me. I <3 physics. The many physics references surprised me. For laypeople, Idk if the many physics references were too many or just right. Idk if someone who doesn’t know much science will be turned off.
Some readers said books 2 and 3 were great.
Without spoilers, can you explain the title of show?
If you have 2 bodies like the Sun and Earth, the motions due to gravity of the Sun and Earth are stable. If you have 3 bodies or more (suppose that the masses are equal), the motions due to gravity are chaotic.
books talaga dapat mamser
i don’t even read talaga but the (2nd?) Netflix trailer piqued my curiosity enough that i was able to read the entire trilogy before the last trailer came out
tho tbh at this point it’d be kinda weird if you start with Book 2 because you’d have to get through the worst parts of the trilogy lmao so idkkk i honestly wish people who could have the patience to read the books read first before seeing Netflix ver :(
You’re not a very wide reader but you read the trilogy before the last trailer’s release. That says something re Liu Cixin.
I think some found the trilogy so 👍 that the trilogy sucked them like a vacuum.
