Hypothesis: this is actually a safety way to ride due to cars seeing you as much more of a threat and therefore giving you MUCH more room than normal.

Yea but I can do that without a robot.
- Comment on iSweep 2 weeks ago:
Right? Even if that’s a really suboptimal use of one of those, that’d be a great way to show them off if nothing else.
If I was in the market for one of those things (which… hell no!) and I entered an outlet for them and the first thing I see is a clean floor with one of the little fuckers buzzing around? Fuckin sold. (except hell no)

Contrary to popular belief, it appears hips actually do lie. This changes everything.
- Comment on Hello darkness my old friend 2 weeks ago:
The cochlea and semicircular canals are absolutely wild. It’s all just squirting fluid over a patch of tiny grass, and boom, that’s your sense of hearing and balance. One of the coolest bits of anatomy we’ve got.
- Comment on UK's rival to the Tim Tam can no longer be called chocolate 2 weeks ago:
I live in the USA now, and you can buy Tim Tams here, but Trader Joe’s and Aldi both have store brand imitation Tim Tams too.
Fellow murican here - was not aware of either of those. Will be on the look out!! …even if they are subpar.
Coworker got me addicted to Tim Tams ages ago, and they’re a pain in the ass to find here.
- Comment on YSK tricks for one of the cheapest meals: beans and rice 3 weeks ago:
Fortified short grain white rice… hit up Costco or Sam’s, or your local Asian market, and you can score a 20 lb bag for like $15 which comes out to literally a few cents per meal. (well… pre-tariffs at least… nowadays idk)
From there, add beans, or eggs, or chicken broth, or literally almost anything else: shit off the clearance wrack, from the food pantry, w/e. If it’s a meat or veggie, it’ll go with rice. In the case of the pantry, if you’re not actually sure what it is, it’ll still probably go with rice. Got a bag of spicy cheetos you forgot to close and now it’s all stale? Don’t throw that shit away, smash it up and throw it in with your next batch of rice - now it’s spicy! (I’ve done it - texture’s a little weird, but otherwise came out better than expected). Rice is ridiculously versatile.
Disregard the hate for white rice being nutritionless junkfood - it is, but when money’s that tight, you don’t give a fuck. The fortified rice mitigates that a bit, and in my experience is usually cheaper. It’s a starting point: add what you can to make it less shit; and even if it’s a meal of just straight rice, that’s still better than an empty stomach.
- Comment on Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever 3 weeks ago:
Tech-idiot, here, but Linux-curious and running Windows 10 with an ardent refusal to change it to 11.
I know there are a ton of different versions of Linux, ‘Ubuntu’ and such, but I don’t know jack about any of them… which would you recommend that’s best suited to someone who’s only ever used Windows? Looking for the most idiot-proof option. Gaming and office style work are primary use.
Emphasis on the idiot proof. I am really anxious about switching from fear of jacking up my computer, but am so sick of Window’s bullshit… probably as good a time to dive in now than any point going forward.
- Comment on What are you ladies doing tonight 3 weeks ago:
What did it for me was the bugs. Those little fruit-fly fuckers… they love sugar, and those taps are a concentrated source. Until someone turns it on, and they get blasted off the tube and stuck onto the sticky inside surface of the cap, where they die and continue to get blasted with concentrate, so there’s this membrane of soda residue, dead fruit flies, and mold.
…infact the taste you’re referencing might legit be rotting bugs if it has a kind of rancid protein flavor.
I wonder how many of those fruit flies get blasted straight into people’s drink vs onto the edge of the cap, where they’re just sucked up through a straw and drank by a customer who’s none the wiser.
Nom nom.

Some semi-matte olive paint and that mofo could have a Warthog.
- Comment on What are you ladies doing tonight 3 weeks ago:
Worked at a fast food place ages ago, and I remember cleaning the caps of each fountain of the top image: they were pretty horrific. Another poster mentioned mold… they’re not exaggerating. They were probably the second-nastiest surface in the restaurant, second only to the floor of the bathrooms.
Now, I’m under no illusion that the Cloa-Cola dispenser is actually sanitary, but it’s gotta be better than the other model.

- Comment on Didn't workout for me, do you guys have other advices? 3 weeks ago:
That wasn’t meant to be taken too seriously, lol. I’d guess the odds of enough semen making it through the fistula and then through the normal path to result in a successful conception are… about zero.

Anovaginal fistulas are a thing. 🤷♀️

- Comment on I always wondered why hotel rooms had bibles 4 weeks ago:
I see religious shit randomly littering the hospital I work at. People put fliers in waiting areas or on window sills. Couple whole-ass bibles. Lately it’s been the little plastic jesus emoji looking toys.
I put all of them in the trash.
We have a fucking chaplain, if our patients want to see that shit they can talk to him. Hitting people with religious nonsense when they’re at their lowest is predatory and should be illegal.

Life’s too short to spend on grinds that aren’t fun. Cheat in a 1-shot-kill gun, and it becomes a good Star Wars movie.

- Comment on hows keto working out for you 5 weeks ago:
Fair enough! Keep this in the back of your head though if you ever become critically injured or sick - daily caloric requirement goes up when you’re recovering from something, so yours specifically might be even higher than that already-higher-normal.
There comes a point where eating anything just feels gross cuz you’re already stuffed, so you’d have to start being strategic about meal/snack timing, and prioritizing high calorie foods and drinks. Hopefully your team would have access to your history in that situation, and account for that shit from square one, but YOU are your best advocate, so don’t be afraid to prod them if needed.
…and sorry lol, been doing a fuck ton of nursing school homework the past few weeks, so my brain is still in nurse mode when I hop on Lemmy. You’re basically an NCLEX question! :P
- Comment on hows keto working out for you 5 weeks ago:
the more I shit
I mean that’s still ‘calories out’ if you’re not actually absorbing them. Guessing you’ve already done this if it’s been a life long thing, but just in case, you might want to hit up a gastrointestinal doctor - there are conditions that cause usable nutrients to literally just go through you. You may having one of those - and if yes, knowing which will give you a path to fixing it or working around it.
Then again, 5’2 at 100 lb is only just a hair into the underweight range. If you feel good where you’re at, maybe fuck it.

That accounts for a good chunk of the blocks as well.
This is one of those one-bite-at-a-time projects - just hit a few on each visit, it adds up.
- Comment on I've recently turned into a blocker. 5 weeks ago:
I hardly ever block individual posters, but communities, I’ve blocked 936 of them at the time of making this post. Sports, porn, anime, or furry shit are all block on sight. Plus a handful of randoms that I’m just not interested in.
I’ve finally got All where it’s pleasant to browse. Takes some doing, but worth the effort if you want to customize your feed reductively vs actively seeking out and subscribing to communities.
