As a Dutchman, do other countries not have rental places everywhere? Over here every diy store has a rental department, I'd guess this is universal?

Regarding the prefacing; it probably won't even work because people will read it as a "I'm not racist, but" kind of statement.
Regarding the problem you're stating; I've quickly after joining installed a tampermonkey script which allows me to hover over the name of an instance, magazine or user and display a small context menu where I can block them. Blocking certain magazines made all the difference for me.

True, but on the other hand, the drills or impact drivers are also getting stronger and stronger, so it's easier to mess up a screw. And then there's the driver bits, they're so bad these days that every new box of screws comes with a free bit.

- Comment on When did breasts become a thing that needed to be concealed in public and why? 4 weeks ago:
It's actually becoming less normal in a lot of places since every creep has a smartphone with a camera these days. Women have found their pictures or filmclips back on the internet, which was not the reason for going topless.
Also, it's been allowed in the last 50 - 60 years for most countries, not so much before.

I read in some other post that some lemmy instances display the upvote/downvote ratio since the latest software update, so maybe because of that?
- Comment on Weird shower leak. Advise needed. 1 month ago:
I would try removing the caulking around the shower pan and redo it. If that doesn't fix it, basically I would rebuild the whole shower. It looks like water might flow beneath the flooring here, which might cause a lot of problems in the future.
Also, I cant see it well in your pictures, but I've found in past remodelling projects that the best way to make showers leak free, is to first place the shower pan and then do the wall tiles, so the tiles are slightly above the pan.
