Wouldn't it rather be DEL? CUT can only move stuff elsewhere and doesn't just delete stuff.

Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
𧬠Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
π½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
π Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
β Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 π) will be removed.
-
π΄ββ οΈ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
SΓ, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]

πΏ Moderation

Cut deletes if you donβt paste after.
Does it? I swear it puts the selected item in a quantum state until the resolution of if it was pasted elsewhere or not.
Farmer purgatory
For files, yeah. I was thinking of text.
Just checked it and it depends. On WORD, it removes the text, in EXCEL it does not (until pasted elsewhere)
Ehh, embellishing its meaning a bit. I didnβt recall if it would remove the text when initially cut and replace it if was not pasted. Turns out when i tested these, it depended on the program on how it acted.
It does but there are many farmers to cut and only the last one will stay in cosmic clipboard.
Really depends on what. With text it usually does remove it no matter what. N9t so much with files.
They could have just had Cut and Paste help with harvesting π€·π»ββοΈ
Then Copy could have devalued the crops by multiplying them to the point they cost nothing. π
Honestly would that ever actually be a bad thing?
Like I really can't fathom a realistic way producing too much food (or whatever they're growing) can be a problem.
And before anyone brings up the economy I'd rather there be so much food it's worthless than what we have now.
I'd rather there be so much food it's worthless than what we have now.
You're not wrong, but when food is worthless there's no reason to grow it. Farms cost money to run. Now a solution could be to nationalize or subsidize farms completely so that the tax dollars put into them directly lower the cost of food, but that ain't happening.
Wouldn't it even itself out
Probably not, but it's better than subsidizing farmers to not sell stuff and crash the market. That's just doubling down on waste.
Might be a carbon and unwanted other animal species issues. Bugs, small mammals, and predators thereof. Compost is great but it's still producing by-products. If distribution and politics could be solved (probably politics is the main barrier in distribution, followed by natural disaster, many of which are the direct result of politics), perhaps these things wouldn't be a great concern. But I'm not a scientist.
That's what happens to us too. π¬
Should we run?
Is that a Kill La Kill reference?
Hard to say, too much clothing.
There is a Kill la Kill reference hidden in there... Hidden in plain sight, I mean.
But cut doesn't work that way..
How so? It deletes something from the source and stores it in the clipboard. If you never paste it... it's effectively just deleting it.
But the handling of the command is application independent. Also many applications have their own clipboard
The fact that you say "it deletes something" means you are ignoring the copy process happening in the background.
That something could be any text or file and both have different implementation depending on the app receiving the command.
File cut doesn't even copy the file into the windows clipboard, it just copies the reference to where the file is stored
Other objects like Text behavior incur a replacement of the data on the w clipboard but that's not the same as erasing although it might seem like it that's why
"I'm Mr Meeseeks, look at me!"
That's basically what happens to all of us!
