As an expert on all things involving the Internet, and a whale biologist, no. Follow me for more home improvement tips

[–] Mohamed@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

Omg youre the expert I am looking for! I would like to DIY an internet router that can communicate with whales.

[–] hilliard@lemmy.world 31 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is there anything people on the internet won't claim they are an expert in?

[–] TeamAssimilation@infosec.pub 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

My extensive expertise tells me it depends.

[–] Lemmisaur@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No it doesn't, I study this subject for a living and have a degree in expertise-analysis and all of the results I've gotten in the past few decades show that there isn't. Stop lying when you don't know what you're even saying. /s

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I demand sources! Not because I want a fight, just for the sources. If you provide them I definitely won't just stop replying. Cos I want facts not a fight obviously

[–] Lemmisaur@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Why would I provide sources to you if you and your generation are too addicted to video games and slang terms to even search it up on Google‽ You're obviously trying to contest my authority on expertise-analysis without even knowing a single word of what I'm even saying rather than looking for a genuine discussion like the angel I am.

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 3 points 2 months ago

This made me laugh really loudly for ten seconds. Kudos.

[–] mts711@lemm.ee 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

As an expert in claiming to be an expert on the internet I can confidently say no

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

Being Amish?

[–] kambusha@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I, too, am extraordinarily humble.

[–] AFLYINTOASTER@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm so humble I could teach Mother Theresa a thing or two

[–] ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

I almost electrocuted myself trying to test if a random wire in my friend’s attic was live or not.

[–] ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

I’m not an electrician and I couldn’t find my non-contact voltage tester. I accidentally grabbed my computer hobbyist-level testing multimeter instead of the one that handles higher voltages. The fuse exploded and sparks flew everywhere and the multimeter screen cracked. I don’t know why the screen cracked.

[–] ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

I don’t know about lots of stuff but I approach life with the zeal of a challenger, to quote Ichiro.

[–] dethedrus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

It was the magic smoke escaping through the screen.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

It was indeed. Very much so.

[–] My_IFAKs___gone@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

They won't claim they are an expert in the core of a star.

Or rather, while they may claim the expertise, they won't be able to do it from inside the center of a star.

How to get the j g wentworth cash now song as an iPhone ringtone

[–] Infernal_pizza@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

If you genuinely want to do that then try this: (there might be a limit of 30 seconds for a ringtone so you might not be able to use the whole song)

You can't tell me there isn't a coprophilia / coprophagia forum out there somewhere.
