• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Digg launches its new Reddit rival to the public⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s gonna be enshittified from the get go. Reddit grew organically then enshittifed over time. Creating a new platform backed by VC in this day and age is guaranteed to be immediately bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You shall not cut!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Same. Sometimes they’re all in one section as well so I make sure to distribute them evenly. I also add another layer of mozzarella before baking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Avatar 1803⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I assume this is historically accurate because of OP’s username.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The longest finger is typically in the middle of the hand but the longest toe is typically at the end of a foot⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There are a lot of people whose second toe is longer than their big toe though. Not sure if there are any studies that estimate which one is more common.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have seen a lot of movies where the Catholic School Nuns smack a students hand for being disruptive or something is this a trope or a real something? Like most notable in Blues Brothers⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, my kindergarten teacher didn’t like me using my left hand to write for some reason, so slapped my hand with a ruler. Now I write with my right hand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Butter⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  For the amount of pancakes, I’d say that’s not really a lot of butter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Negotiator⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks. I thought it was a legit manga to anime adaptation because of the multiple episodes, but then saw they were only 7 mins each.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Negotiator⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it legit good? Or is it basically a “watch it for the ecchi” type of show? For example, Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian has great ecchi stuff and top tier animation, but the actual story is so boring.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Negotiator⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Ahem. Source?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I can't be the only one who learned this the hard way⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You could try Buldak if you haven’t yet. I believe they have a 3x spicy version, if you really want to go the extremes. The regular buldak is already too spicy for a lot of people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Losing_weight_IRL⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh for sure, I meant I never knew it was called a ratchet belt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Losing_weight_IRL⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep exactly! And thanks for the link, I’ve been using it for 15+ years but never bothered knowing what it’s called.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Losing_weight_IRL⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  My belt is the type that has grooves on it and you can adjust the buckle in smaller increments compared to the typical holes. It’s also great for avoiding creases when using a standard buckle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Concert encores are like adult peekaboo for a crowd.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No worries. The first one is a one-off tour of former King Crimson members and some distinguished guest musicians.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Concert encores are like adult peekaboo for a crowd.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  On the other hand. I’ve also seen BEAT where two of them are close to 80 and the other two are in their 60’s, and they only had one intermission break in the middle of the set.

  Meshuggah, who play the heaviest music in the universe are also on their mid-late 50’s and they don’t take breaks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A novel concept⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If that isn’t proof of intelligent design, I don’t know what is. /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Concert encores are like adult peekaboo for a crowd.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I saw Slipknot I think last year and those guys are in their 50’s. They were taking backstage breaks every couple of songs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Asking the important questions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I saw a video of I think a shelter where there were lots of dogs. A new dog was introduced and immediately tried asserting dominance by being aggressive to some of the other dogs. Then this one dog appeared and all the other dogs kinda backed away to give it a path and you can just feel its aura. Then it basically did to the new dog what it was doing to the other dogs and the new dog quickly realized who’s the boss in that hood and started behaving.

  I imagine that dog was the equivalent of a celebrity in the sense that everyone knows who he is.

  Anyone who watches BR2049 gets my vote.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I WON THE LOTTERY!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The most I’ve won in a lottery was around $30, and that’s for getting 4 out of 6 numbers right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hotel hell⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Directed by Quentin Tarantino.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s because they are simply built for different things, Mastodon for microblogging and Lemmy/Piefied for forum type discussions. Nested threads don’t exist in Mastodon, so it’s hard to have a back-and-forth exchange without it looking like a mess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do people actually believe those "gurus" on the internet that supposedly "give advice"? These seems very sussy and feel scam-adjacent, isn't it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The fact that there are a ton of them means it works. A lot of gullible people either buy products they endorse, or pay monthly subscriptions for regular video sessions to listen to them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm looking for the best free online storage site my files. That is heavily encrypted and respect people's privacy, what would you suggest?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  ProtonDrive is the only cloud storage option with a free tier recommended by privacyguides.org.

  Another option like others have said is encrypt your data first and you can use any service. You can create a veracrypt container and just upload that file. I read a comment somewhere that dropbox is capable of handling encrypted containers so you don’t have to re-upload a veracrypt file several GBs in size every time. I haven’t tried that yet though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happened to lem.ee?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And most of us .ee users jumped over to .zip because you run your instances as good as Sunaurus did. Thanks for your efforts!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to get greasy spots out of wooden cutting board properly?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not to mention all the microplastics that shed on your food when the knife cuts into the board.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is with these videos where it's just someone reaction to shit someone else is doing? ⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the easiest/laziest way to get a ton of views/engagement. Why bother doing the work of creating your own content when you can just steal other people’s videos and put your face in the corner “reacting” to it, then publish it as your own? Get enough subscribers/followers and views and you can start monetizing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a "buy nothing" community on Lemmy? Or an anti-consumerism comm?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The purpose of a buy nothing group is to give away free stuff in the easiest and fastest way possible. That only works if it’s a local community where people can meet up or travel a short distance to the person giving away stuff. That’s why buy nothing groups on facebook for example are grouped by zip code or general areas within a given city.

  I’ve never seen a buy nothing group where people discuss things. People post only if they’re giving away stuff or if they are in need of something. Discussions can be done on a thrifting community or something similar, not a buy nothing group.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a "buy nothing" community on Lemmy? Or an anti-consumerism comm?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Buy nothing communities work best in localized areas I think, for practical reasons. Not sure if a general community would work with users all around the world.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Days after Christmas are confusing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We’re only halfway through the Christmas ham. We’ll probably be done with it by NYE. Then all the ham at the grocery store will be half-price, and we’ll end up buying another one.
