- Comment on Is it possible to eat a toxic amount of culinary herbs/spices? 3 hours ago:
I mean, as humans, toxicity isn’t a deterrent, it’s a selling feature!
- Comment on Meow 1 week ago:
Most usual pets don’t care for my existence at all.
That sucks, dude. I’m sorry you’ve never experienced that.
Also, a cat comes into your house and you have to feed it for a day: Image
- Comment on Meow 1 week ago:
But to ask “would people actually care for, shelter, and feed an animal they didn’t know? Like just bond with a creature for what? Emotional connection, companionship, and kinship to another living thing? I love animals, tho” is just a weird take. Like, you can love animals (or babies) and not want to be responsible for them in your home, but to be incredulous about why someone would want that is ridiculous.
“Would people really let some stray live with them?”
That’s literally the history of house cats. A million times, yes, people want to hang out with random cats.
You don’t need to want cats or babies to see why other people would want cats or babies.

“I love all animals, as long as those useless fucks stay outta my way!”

But he’s draining the swamp! And the bogs, fens, wetlands, critical aquifers…

Pikachu ex? More like Pikacheex, am I right?
- Comment on Should I be Concerned? 3 weeks ago:
Can you provide evidence for this
Oh, no, we’re in lemmyshitpost, so I was just talking shit about the absolutely insane marketing choice to try to sell them as “triangles”.
But here we are talking about it, so fuck me, it’s working.
- Comment on Should I be Concerned? 3 weeks ago:
That’s a very generous assumption for a company whose “flavoured, uhhh, triangles” can’t pass the legal threshold of the word “chip” or “snack”, let alone “tortilla”.
- Comment on When will we have auto turrets mounted on plane engines to stop birdstrikes? 4 weeks ago:
Terminal velocity is really only relevant for objects that go below terminal velocity and then start falling. Bullets famously come out of guns very fast, so fast they go into people.
While air will slow the bullet down, tell that to the guy over over 2 miles away from Viacheslav Kovalskyi
Now, bird shot ain’t sniper rounds, but the point stands.
- Comment on California just debunked a big myth about renewable energy 1 month ago:
Exactly! Like how hydro-power is a dead end and we shouldn’t invest in it.
It’s like, “guys, you know there’s who cities that aren’t by a river, right?”

Imagine being so strung out you’re willing to trade sex for sex.

Classic free market, small government, deregulation conservatives.
- Comment on THE HECK? Documents show FEMA official ordered workers to ignore houses with Trump signs 3 months ago:
It’s a real leopards ate my face situation
- Comment on Are 'micro-apartments' converted from offices the answer to the housing crisis? 4 months ago:
Seems excessive. Loads of people have spent many many years in as little as 18 Sq. Ft. Why can’t people just be happy with that?

Or that we should agree on “throur”
- Comment on Most soft plastic collected for recycling is burned, campaigners say 5 months ago:
Obviously they mean bury it in some sort of water-tight container like plastic.
- Comment on Burning Up 5 months ago:
Fahrenheit is literally a German dude making a scale from, “scheiße its chilly outside” to “oh mein gott, its hot out!”
- Comment on Burning Up 5 months ago:
It’s that extra “one” of incredulity.
40 degrees, that’s just too hot.
41? You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.
- Comment on Why is waking up when my alarm goes off so difficult and unpleasant yet "sleeping in" does feel good and isn't satisfying? 5 months ago:
It might not help you, but it helped me to recognize when laying in bed trying to “sleep in” wasn’t going to happen. If I’m not asleep again in 5 minutes and it’s past a certain time (6:30 for me), fuck it. My body just aches if I lay in bed awake trying to sleep. I get up and enjoy the quiet morning.
- Comment on Kroger executive admits company gouged prices above inflation 6 months ago:
The problem is we talk about the economy in terms like “revenue” “profit” or “prices”.
We need to change the language of the economy to appeal to its true creed: line go up. It’s Economics 101. Line go up, forever.
Hence, I propose we talk about the cost of things on units of “not getting fucked”
Use phrases like, “the not getting fucked on tomato sauce has been dropping lately”
- Comment on Telecom will pay $1 million over deepfake Joe Biden robocall 6 months ago:
Let’s just cut 30 jobs to make it up within the year.
But while we’re at it, might as well just round it up to cutting 600 jobs, right? Then we can still have those bonuses!
- Comment on Shouldn't name the cables after him if they're not for him. 7 months ago:
We all know the internet is a series of tubes, but what they didn’t tell you is the data within is transmitted by gerbils.

Now it’s a feel-good story about community!
- Comment on Now we know how much it costs to make a $2,800 Dior bag 8 months ago:
I completely agree when it comes to luxury items. In fact, I fully support the luxury version industry.
When this shit applies to the standard version is where we should be drawing our ire; when the $20 bag costs $0.11 to make.

- Comment on BBC News - Stonehenge covered in powder paint by Just Stop Oil 8 months ago:
Maybe we need to come up with a way to deface oil company buildings that does make headlines
- Comment on BBC News - Stonehenge covered in powder paint by Just Stop Oil 8 months ago:
But why Stonehenge? Why not oil company buildings? I believe oil companies generally have buildings. Large buildings. With their names on them.

I pause videos to read what’s on screen.
The add on I need is to automatically send the advertiser a message telling them I’m boycotting their product due to their participation in increasingly shitty advertising.

Rather, they’re not sorry they tried to scam you, they’re sorry it didn’t work.
