  Badger.

  It’s accurate when you need it to be and gets out of the way when you don’t. And if you do need the accuracy, you have a unit that doesn’t need fractions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨5 tomatoes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The only positive thing I see about imperial is that things are easily divisible by 3 and 6, but that’s about it. Then again, if doing the same with metric, you’re usually fine rounding to the nearest millimetre, and if that isn’t accurate enough, it’s probably not supposed to be done by hand anyway.

  It tastes just like raisins

  Human being here. I hate people.

  Some of this is absurd, but I feel like a lot of it is tongue-in-cheek stuff or just “let’s see how far we can push things into ridiculousness before your grandma notices that something’s off”.

  The thing that’s bothering me is that they ended a question with a period. Why, random person on the Internet, why?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Macaroni and cheese⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Somewhat on the same topic, can someone explain how “asf” came about (meaning “as fuck”)? I mean I get it, some lazy bums can’t be bothered to type “AF” (with the capital letters), but why add an extra letter out of nowhere?

  And they’ve asked those 200 folks one by one for sure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you encountered this?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As I said, it’s not evident at all if those are full or discounted prices, so in the latter case it’s a misleading number.

  Anyway, I don’t live in a place with broken wages and tipping system, so I don’t have to deal with problems like this. Where I am wait staff gets adequate wages and tips are only a bonus on top of that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you encountered this?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Still potentially misleading. If the receipt doesn’t say anything about the discount (which is not clear because we can’t see what’s above the total), then you can’t tell. Again, a simple disclaimer should be enough. If there are things like “please open box before eating pizza”, then this shouldn’t be a problem.

  If you’re a regular at the place, you might know about the specials. If you just walk in one time and you don’t see a label, a receipt like this will be misleading if it doesn’t state the discounts and tip bases.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shamelessly stolen from Reddit⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Land of the free, home of the brave”, but with the caveat that those other professions don’t qualify as brave enough is my guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify to raise prices in September⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep. Hooray for self hosting!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you encountered this?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem is that because of the way it’s written, it ends up misleading.

  If there was a simple disclaimer like “tip based on non-discounted prices”, it would’ve been fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy is a tech literate echo chamber⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s still a high bar to clear.

  I think I’ve never flown with that airline and this here makes it very likely that I never will.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It’s the little things⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep. Generally if one property of it was so different, I’d expect many others to be different as a result of that too. So physics and chemistry as we know them (with so many things relying on water) wouldn’t exist. And thinking further how life on Earth started off in the water…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Perspective⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The carpet has wear on one side, and it doesn’t make sense for the wear to be on the front of each stair, so most likely we’re looking down from the top of the flight of stairs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Perspective⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The cake is a lie.
