Its like when I talk about cars.
I dont speak in make and model, I speak in chassis and engine codes. Replacing an engine is a 1 weekend job that (back in the day) I can do half drunk.

As a grown man the subject of getting smacked with a thong/flip flop came up and well… we tested it. Grown men spanking each others bare arses with a flip flop. We all agreed that while the activity was slightly gay, it was also hilarious and incredibly painful.
In short, it sucks as much as it did when you were a kid.

Taking off a pair of big heavy steel toed workboots after a long day in the sun is pretty fucking good.

You should try still having a soft spot for rap music from 20 years ago.
Every damn time I open my phone 50 cent is starting shit with someone again.
- Comment on Why was Rock 'n' Roll seen as the grooviest shit in the 50s when it's just averagely groovy (ie. unremarkable) today? 2 weeks ago:
Ive always wondered something similar about ancient artwork.
Like, sure I can tell its a horse, but thats a shitty horse. Thats a horse from the finest artistic minds of the day that looks like a 7yo did it these days. Like someone didnt look at that misshapen lump and think "I can make that look more like a horse.

It also makes healthy shit taste better.
You can absolutely fuck up a bag of baby carrots and cucumber sticks and a tub of hummus too.

Also I claim the doctors visit as a work expense because in order to get paid I need one :) its a condition of my employment.

- Comment on Start-up idea 2 weeks ago:
Especially when it comes to things like Tvs.
“Would you like the extended warranty out to 5 years for an extra $200”
No because that would have made my $600 tv an $800 tv which will be made to look like a piece of crap by a $400 tv in 5 years.

Nah dont be revisionist, Bawitaba was a hell of a jam when it came out, pretty much that whole album went hard.
I’ll listen to it still, but only through a medium where he doesnt get paid royalties because NOW he is a piece of shit.

Or blue.
- Comment on Ah, customer service 3 weeks ago:
In their defence its also a lot easier for me because I’m not in a call center, my calls arent recorded and I dont have scripts or churn times to adhere to. Customer service in a call center must absolutely be someones definition of hell.
I’ve point blank said to customers things like “Look, I appreciate that you’re upset. Please believe me that I am upset too, because I have to go ask that idiot why he did what he did, document the conversation and I guarantee you the answer wont be a clever one” and “This is definitely our fuckup, not that I should use language like that with customers but ‘mistake’ just doesnt cut it”
- Comment on Ah, customer service 3 weeks ago:
Customers are always pissed the first time you speak with them. When I have to call them I do a quick first call and let them know its immediately being worked on, ask them if theres any other information that might be helpful and Ill get back to them when I know something, they are ALWAYS better to deal with on the second call.
I do this because I can always get off the first call with “Respectfully, I’m not customer service. I’m the guy who fixes the problems and the longer I’m on this call is time I’m not fixing your problem. Now I need to go and I’ll call you as soon as I have a resolution”
People just want to be taken seriously.
- Comment on How accurate is this? 3 weeks ago:
You have way more chances to get back at shitty customers doing food service.
Get a cunty customer and you just smile a little too large, be a little too eager to fix their issue and let your eyes glint just a little. Then fix their issue exactly what they asked for with nothing wrong with it and untampered with. When you return to the table put a little too much emphasis on “Enjoy” when you give it to them.
They will spend the entire meal trying to figure out what you did or call the manager over and make a big scene about how you did something but cant point out what. Ruin my night, I’ll ruin yours.
- Comment on Can anyone explain why? 3 weeks ago:
Now this is a half remembered anecdote so… pinch of salt.
But I do remeber something about some people having negative reactions to the tannins in red wine. So it might not so much be the alcohol.

I wake up in Australia every morning and check the news wondering if any of the headlines are going to be the 2026 Assassination of the Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand.
- Comment on Freezing soup in glass mason jars? 5 weeks ago:
Yep, also if you can do the initial freeze with the lid off thats also going to help prevent cracking.
- Comment on Why are they different shapes? 5 weeks ago:
The rectangular loaf was designed for packing efficiency. Once bakeries became a thing and moving bread over distances to supply people became more and more common bakers realised that bread isnt heavy, its bulky and packing efficiency was an easy way to reduce costs
- Comment on Do you have to deal with this during your morning commute? 1 month ago:
I fucking love cars.
I also want to be able to not be FORCED to drive one day in day out. I want a robust public transport network, a robust electric car network and a reasonable ownership proposal for limited ICE engines in enthusast cars.
- Comment on we need more users 1 month ago:
I posted in an ADHD community about how I’m fed up with managing my symptoms and I think I finally need to talk to a professional. Someone tried to blame my symptoms on capitalism.
As someone who simply left Reddit because they took away RIF and only stays here because I’m stubborn, Lemmy is the left wing version of Truth Social. A great deal of the users here are the absolute embodiment of the people from Sanfrancisco in South Park huffing each others farts about how progressive they are.
Like, I get it and I do agree in principle on most things with Lemmy which is the only reason I dont leave, but make no mistake THE FEDIVERSE IS AN ECHO CHAMBER.

People at work think I love energy drinks. No, I LOVE coffee, but if its not good enough to sit there and actually enjoy my coffee I dont want it, Ill take the can of “YOU ARE NOW WIDE THE FUCK AWAKE” if I cant have good coffee.

The Shite Stripe would be a great name for one of those guys in the one man band contraption trying to play covers of White Stripes songs.

I love how Wheeler Walker Jr could have played it straight, he is a genuinely tallented musician. But nah… Suckin Dick and Kickin Ass.

One of the fitness people I follow has two apps and he regularly tells his viewers “You dont NEED my apps to get great results, you dont NEED to watch my videos either. I just think they both help. Now just subscribing as a member is just money for me so you should definitely do that”
Which is a level of influencer honesty I can definitely get behind.
- Comment on Mom with the real questions 1 month ago:
A friend of mine lost his 4 generations old family home in some bushfires about 10 years ago. He will never admit it to his extended family but he says it was a blessing.
His house was full of shit that as nice as it was and the sentimental value of the huge dining table that great grandad built with the tree that got brought down in the storm in the top paddock in 32 was real. He felt like he couldnt change anything, couldnt sell anything and was stuck living in his grandparents house.
- Comment on Is there a real, actually working way to earn money online without having a job? 2 months ago:
Yeah thats what I meant about “within their niche” They try and buy the shit themselves for their hobby and have a storefront and only rep for products they reasonably stand behind.
Doing the “to the masses” type products dropshipping is usually a losing game because theres always someone more unscrupulous who will do more underhanded shit to be 10c per item cheaper.
