Half of these are still in use simply because some people think they’re cool, or when someone prefers to not have to rely on technology (e.g. paper maps don’t run out of electricity while you’re on a long hike).

Im in the EU thankfully, it’s not legal to record strangers (except like, a crowd where you can’t make out individuals that well). They may be watching me from the window, but they don’t talk like village folks do.

I mean, I sometimes view nutrition as an impediment to my bed rotting, but that’s because I have depression Also, I would kinda like to be able to skip lunch, because meal prepping is tough when you work til 0930 and takeout add up, cost wise

This is not meant to be a counter, I’m curious: have you? Cause I haven’t, and I’ve always wondered who the target audience for that stuff is. Everybody I know thinks it’s stupid, and I’ll at most use drinkable food for health reasons (as in, if they have really sore teeth and can’t chew or sth like that, or can’t keep solids down) or if they’ve misplanned and can’t have real food (like between two appointments).

Yeah I got that that’s what the meme is about, but thought the comment might be about nosy humans anyway.

You mean because of people watching? I get this so much worse in the village than in the city, because village folks will remember and talk about your patterns, while city folks won’t.

Wow thanks for sharing, I never would’ve thought! Glad my toilet is in a seperate room from the bathroom (and that that’s pretty normal in my country).

That leaver causes microscopic bits of poop to be sprayed everywhere unless you close the damn lid
- Comment on Sans serif fonts are woke because they're easier for dyslexics to read 5 days ago:
That’s true but not at all what you said in the post. But thanks for clarifying here!
- Comment on Sans serif fonts are woke because they're easier for dyslexics to read 5 days ago:
I could also go on about what I think is harder or easier to read, but that’s neither here nor there. The post claims there is/are a font or fonts that were specifically created with the intention to be harder to read for the disabled, and I want to know whether that’s true.
- Comment on Sans serif fonts are woke because they're easier for dyslexics to read 5 days ago:
Quite interesting, but doesn’t speak to the creation of fonts specifically to make reading harder for the disabled. It even says evidence that Calibri is easier isn’t conclusive. Doesn’t say anything about whether any font was created to make reading easier or harder for anyone.

Ya got a source on that? Sounds interesting
- Comment on American exceptionalism 5 days ago:
Oh absolutely, I’m glad we’re not doing that. I don’t get why there’s so few statistical studies, like ‘people who have been using (e.g.) chewing tobacco have x health stat compared to y in the general population’. It’s frustrating, especially with how many young people are using snus and vapes in recent years. It’s tough to make informed health decisions when the information is hard to come by.
- Comment on American exceptionalism 5 days ago:
Btw for the capsaicin thing. It’s one of the going theories for why warmer places all around earth tend to traditionally eat much spicier foods than colder places. Food spoils faster in the heat, and the spice both masks the spoilt taste and can help, or is thought to help, cleanse you of parasites.
(I know spicy plants don’t grow in colder places, too, but the tendency holds for colder regions that would have had access to hot plants)
- Comment on American exceptionalism 5 days ago:
Just curious, is this true for smokeless tobacco too? I mean not the tar bit obviously, just the paralysing.
- Comment on Hey look, a giant sign telling you to find a different job 1 week ago:
Yes, because of US exceptionalism. That’s a bad thing, and we can try to not play into it.
- Comment on Hey look, a giant sign telling you to find a different job 1 week ago:
They said that to point out you said ‘America’ when there’s a north America and a south America and your statement is only true for one country within one of those. We all know what you meant, but let’s stop playing into US exceptionalism by using the name for two whole continents as a synonym for it.

I love my cork one. It’s been holding up for many years now. Metal is ofc the only choice if you care about RFID protection though.

You use a different towel every day?
- Comment on People that have face/butt labeled towels must do a terrible job washing their butts 1 week ago:
Perfectly cleaned with soap does not equal sterile. I don’t want e. coli in my eye.

🆗🆒
- Comment on What life hack helped you this year? 2 weeks ago:
You know, I keep wondering this, because it genuinely is a similar amount of work. It’s just putting two dry and one wet thing in a pot. It takes me maybe 3 minutes. You don’t even have to do the ‘bring to a boil, then turn the heat down’ bit the other person described. Just turn on medium heat and leave it be. I’d probably take longer reading the package instructions and following them correctly on something ready made.
That said, I’ve gotten ready made meals for lunch when my work only had a microwave and no real kitchen.

I wish, I struggle to keep focus if I don’t physically turn the page
- Comment on Getting in on the library craze with the Reading Rainbow guy 2 weeks ago:
Ugh but books are just about the main thing I’m consumerist about. I WANT to have them in my home indefinitely. I want to be reminded a specific title exists by seeing it on the shelf, and then reread it. And I want to underline or comment on my favourite passages in pencil. They’re the one non-necessity I’ll keep splurging on; pretty much everything else is handed down, borrowed, or necessary to some extent.

Interesting! Nobody at my institute is a native English speaker. They’re from several European and some Asian and south American countries.

I’m a theoretical physics grad student and a night school maths teacher, I have never heard this distinction. People in academia around me call them round and square brackets.
