- Comment on How do you ask for a haircut? 4 months ago:
This is my go to as well. They know way more about hair and style than me. My haircut life got way easier when I have no expectations and just let them do their thing.

ohh shit lemmy carbon!
- Comment on When shitposting becomes constiposting 5 months ago:
yeah but when people go to add communities they ignore the little one with 3 followers when there’s a comm with the same name that has 3000.
Is like saying oh you don’t like your local librarians? you’re free to make your own library!
Okay well being free to do something doesn’t magically make it a real option. The truth is whatever comm gets the biggest following first is the one everyone goes to. Are there even any exceptions to that that aren’t entire communities agreeing to move together off instances?
For literally the entire time I have been on lemmy I have heard laments about the centralization of comms on lemmy.world and seen attempts to mitigate it but every pie chart just shows lemmy.world with more of the pie because growing a comm on small servers isn’t simple!
- Comment on Why don't humans have paw feet? 5 months ago:
personal anecdote; I spent a year barefoot as a teen after dropping out of high school. The only time I had anything on my feet was orthodontist visits they said i couldn’t go on without flip flops but nowhere else cared.
After about a year of this the callous on the bottom of my feet was so thick i could walk short distances on summer asphalt with zero pain and got a small square of windshield glass embedded in my foot and it just plucked right out and left a square hole, zero pain at all. The pads were about 3/4 cm thick at the ball of my foot and 1/2cm at the heel.
I did this after reading about this effect in a book and wanting to see if it was true and it really was!

for school i use it to make outlines which are usually very good and then I use these class materials to flesh out the outlines. Getting straight A’s like this! One of my papers the teacher said it was the best one he had ever received on that assignment. All my words but ChatGPT told me what to include and in what order.

- Comment on brewing tea with space vacuum? 6 months ago:
you can make tea by just putting a tea bag in cold water and letting it sit for a few hours.
We nake iced tea all the time without any hot water it tastes the same as if you boil the water. Just takes longer.

Lola by The Kinks in 1970,
The song details a romantic encounter in a Sohobar between a young man and the eponymous Lola, who is possibly a trans woman or cross-dresser.

egg_irl did in fact begin the process for me, like 8 years ago. Have the appt to get estrogen this week!
It was in fact a surprise to learn that everybody doesn’t fantasize about being a girl!

framing is important though. Nobody considers a cocktail ‘diluted’, the resultant mixture usually improves the beverage.
