- Comment on Good luck 1 day ago:
The starbucks in my area used to sell the mugs that they also used in-store. They were gigantic (like 700ml?), completely white ceramic with a very subtle logo and only cost 10€ each. They’re also extremely fishwasher proof because they were made to be washed like a dozen times a day. After like 6 or 7 years of use (we got them pre-covid), they still look like new and I regret only buying 2 of them at the time.
ImageIronically, I haven’t actually ever bought a drink at starbucks. I only bought the mugs because I saw them while picking up a Too Good To Go order there one time
- Comment on Adderall vape? 4 days ago:
Man Sertraline used to fuck me up pretty bad. Like crying every day and not doing anything else. My doctor still insisted on dosing me up to 150mg. Quitting it was awful too, I was nauseous for a week straight.
Nowadays I’m much better on Adderall and a Beta Blocker to keep my heart rate in check - Comment on A complete tier list for our solar system 4 days ago:

- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 4 days ago:
I like my regular Switch (because it’s jailbroken and I haven’t ever paid Nintendo for any game on it) but I see no reason to ever get a Switch 2 when the Steam Deck exists.
- Comment on I'm lit deal with it 😎 6 days ago:
My first Redbull was on a class trip in 5th grade that involved an overnight bus drive, so I had it because it’s supposed to make you stay awake. Well it made me zonk out immediately and sleep through the entire rest of the bus ride (Diagnosed and medicated for adhd nowadays dw)

- Comment on Speed test pits six generations of Windows against each other — Windows 11 placed dead last across most benchmarks, 8.1 emerges as unexpected winner in this unscientific comparison 1 week ago:
It’s the same exact laptop, the tests ran sequentially but were edited so that the video shows them in parallel. Since it’s the same hardware in each test and only the OS changes, it’s a perfectly fine setup for comparison.

Goddammit I need to wear this to work. It would be funny because a) the company I work at exclusively has internal shares that are owned by employees so my coworkers are my shareholders and b) I’m a woman so the daddy part is funny af

- Comment on i can't handle coffee 1 week ago:
I grew up in a strong Black Tea for breakfast kinda household, and putting milk in it was pretty frowned upon because that’s what Kazakhstan People (?) do. (My parents are racist in ways most people couldn’t even comprehend) So I only tried Chai Latte kinda recently, but compared to coffee it just lacks depth and tastes kinda watery to me. Which I’m pretty sad about since I’m not supposed to drink coffee at the moment ;_;
- Comment on It was a blast 1 week ago:
It’s not that many people are upgrading all the time, but if you coincidentally need an upgrade right now you’re gonna talk about how it sucks. Leads to bias in what people talk about, I guess.
I sure know I’m talking about it a lot, since I was planning to build my first ever Desktop PC a few months ago and now I have all the parts except for the RAM and it sucks to be waiting for the prices to drop :(

- Comment on Is there a real, actually working way to earn money online without having a job? 3 weeks ago:
When I was a teenager, my main source of income was online Usability testing. It was pretty inconsistent, some weeks were 10$, some were 60$, but it took fairly little effort and time. All I had to do was click through a website and narrate how my experience with it was.
It probably pays way less nowadays, but I remember that usertesting.com was my main website for this back in the day because they paid 10$ per test (even if it’s just 10min) and had plenty of opportunities. If you want to try it, make sure to state your household income/education level/job is a bit more than it actually is. You do get more tests that way

- Comment on why the heck do cockroaches fly 4 weeks ago:
why is that one on a leash?
Man, that brought up a childhood memory. As a kid, my siblings and I used to catch this specific species of Russian hoverfly that looks like a wasp on a string like that and walk around with them. Since they could hover, they didn’t even seem to mind it much and just went along with it.
- Comment on There exist people who will go through the effort of leaving their home, traveling to a movie theatre, paying for a ticket, and sitting for 2-3 hours for a movie they claim "nobody wants to see" 4 weeks ago:
I went to the midnight release of Avengers Endgame and one guy showed up in full Iron Man Cosplay. Seeing him walk out of that theater at the end of the movie was the highlight of my entire year.

I never learned about that was/were distinction in English class (I’m in Germany, so English is taught as a foreign language). Does anyone have some pointers on where to read up on this grammatical rule? I definitely questioned it a few weeks back but don’t remember what the context of that was.

There’s a restaurant chain here in Germany called Frittenwerk, they specialize in Poutine-esque loaded fries. Currently, they’re also offering their usual toppings on baked potatoes instead of the fries and it’s so fucking good

There’s this youtube video where a lady checks the bacterial density that accumulates on a towel as it is used for several days in a row: youtu.be/4NWxU5RIUnI

Bold to assume that developers who use ai come up with any sort of original game mechanics.

Asking the same question a second time after not getting the answer you want is so AI user coded lmao
Yes, focus on yourself and enjoy the silence is the right answer. Being able to entertain yourself is an important life skill.

Just because I know there are people who think this meme is just a random combination due to corn being popular at the time: Corn Snakes actually exist! They’re one of the most popular species of pet snake!
Here is an image of a Corn Snake:
ImageBut they come in many very beautiful colors, so here’s also a link to Cornsnake listings on Morphmarket.

- Comment on Devs gripe about having AI shoved down their throats 1 month ago:
Because it’s not fun. Coming up with algorithms and elegant code is the most fun part about programming for me, and debugging pages of sloppy code is the least fun. AI makes the parts I like less fun and increases the amount of sloppy bullshit code I have to debug.
- Comment on Devs gripe about having AI shoved down their throats 1 month ago:
I’ve been refusing to use any AI tools at all and luckily my manager respects that, even if he uses AI for basically everything he does. If the company ever decides to mandate it I’ll just have the AI write all my code and commit it with no checks. With the worker’s rights here, it’ll take several months to fire me anyways.
