I also use it for YouTube videos of things that I don't want Google making recommendations on. For example, if trying to fix something and need to watch a video, I don't want to have home improvement videos in my feed for the next 6 months.

[–] Got_Bent@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Using it to watch YouTube without logging in currently gets around that whole we don't allow ad blockers thing.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

So does uBlock Origin, even while logged in.

[–] Got_Bent@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I've been getting hit lately with uBlock origin on Firefox if I'm logged in.

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Still works most of the time.

[–] ultra@feddit.ro 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Why search with Google? If you think it has better results, use whoogle.

[–] metaStatic@kbin.social 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Great, now Whoogle will be in my recommendations for the next 6 months

Shed your shame of pornography, unless that's your kink.

Almost everybody bates, and those who don't for reasons of indignation, I'm not hating on the genuine asexuals or people with health issues that inhibit self-pleasure, are usually the pent up, "only one right way to live" A types I don't enjoy the company of or have any respect for anyway.

It's been how many generations? The puritans that came here to escape living among cool Europeans to self flagellate are beyond dust. Prudes suck. Make lust not greed.

I've heard it's like chocolate: enjoy in moderation

[–] ChillDude69@lemmynsfw.com 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I only fuck three chocolate bars per day. Is that okay?

You WERE asking how much chocolate we usually fuck, right?

Does dipping my balls in chocolate milk count?

[–] AllonzeeLV@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I always thought it would be a fun idea to name a bar "Moderation," with a tagline of "Drink all you want when you're in here!"

[–] dakar@kbin.social 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Small tip: don't say "genuine asexuals" as if the ones that do masturbate aren't really asexuals. All asexuals are just as genuine and valid, don't gatekeep.

[–] AllonzeeLV@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Fair, though I more meant the people who are effective asexuals because they were taught to be ashamed of sexuality in general and deny any sexual desire they have with vigorous effort to feel "pure."

That's a whole lot different than someone who just doesn't really have those impulses. The former is an act and they have my pity because of how such people are usually raised/abused to be in a constant state of conflict and hatred of their own impulses, the latter is a completely valid identity.

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The correct term for that is sex-averse asexual.

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Since we're correcting terminology, I'd stray away from saying "correct" term and tend more towards "currently accepted" term.

[–] EatYouWell@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

But, in all honesty, the term doesn't matter as long as it's understood and isn't used maliciously.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

I just don't want it cluttering up my search suggestions

[–] Udonezo@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

Obligatory "I can't unsee wolverine as 2 batmen kissing". Seriously, every time.

[–] ZILtoid1991@kbin.social 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Apparently it's short for "god damn" when one finds someone attractive.

[–] UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

You should ask yourself the following question: If I dare to open it outside of the Tor Browser, is it even worth my time?

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

All of the medical symptoms. Am I dying? Do I have lupus? Only my incognito friend will know.

[–] hungrythirstyhorny@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

'good morning text to brighten her day' cos im a. bad texter and bad at words :)

[–] jopepa@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Just use it constantly. I prefer my targeted ads to be baseless shots in the dark.

[–] Fluid@aussie.zone 6 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I presume whoever made this meme doesn’t understand that incognito mode doesn’t actually protect you from tracking? It just deletes the history on the devices basically.

[–] AnonTwo@kbin.social 14 points 11 months ago

I think they're only worried about like, family or friends finding out. It's not really a concern to them if an entity they don't know has that info.

[–] lunarul@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Which is one of the reasons I use it. If it's not something I will want to pop up in my history later, then it goes in incognito. My history is only for things I plan to return to on a regular basis, not one time searches of random stuff.

How to microwave ramen

"The package says not to put the cup in the microwave and to boil the water separately then pour it into the cup, but what does the Internet have to say?"

[–] kewwwi@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I ask ChatGPT all my stupid questions

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] kewwwi@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

sometimes yea, but most of the time no.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I've been doing that too. Especially when I don't even know enough to form a googleable query.

"Who was that guy in that movie where that one scene happened?"

[–] kewwwi@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

"is cum a laxative?"

[–] quantenzitrone@feddit.de 4 points 11 months ago

i just use the normal browser mode for stuff like that

[–] Aleric@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

¿Por qué no los dos?
