  I heard a comedian call these “infinity knives” a few years back, and now it’s all I can call them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the worst spelling you've seen?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is Keeeeeeee related to Potoooooooo the racehorse?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the worst spelling you've seen?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This has to be a muskspawn.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the worst spelling you've seen?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Full name, Toneigh Lynne Groan.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The clueless people are out there among us⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  AU outlets sound pretty good by comparison. I’m sure there are improvements to be made, but I never have any of those issues.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨sus⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The show briefly showed Drummer in charge of a small poly crew.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me when I zoom past traffic on my e-scooter⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It was more focused in the beginning, but I left them a while ago because it did become derailed as it grew. Reddit was never great at nuance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me when I zoom past traffic on my e-scooter⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but fuckcars is also a venting space so I didn’t want to get into technicalities. There are urbanist communities that do a better job of presenting the bigger picture.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me when I zoom past traffic on my e-scooter⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s supposed to be the consensus of the “fuck cars” movement, but the name certainly gives the impression of being completely against cars. When your eyes are opened to how car-centric infrastructure has taken over our societies it’s hard not to be a bit reactive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bring more warm stuff than you think you need. An extra blanket, beanie, thick socks (and spare pairs).

  Also sun protection. Broad hat and sunscreen. Even if you think it won’t be sunny.

  Wet wipes can go a long way with cleanliness.

  More drinking water than you expect.

  That should cover the basic comforts. For the rest it sounds like you can just go with the flow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I LOVE POTATO SALAD⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bake the potato. Add sour cream, chives, and a dash of seeded mustard to the final mix. Bacon bits are optional.

  This is how I learned to like a particular subset of potato salad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a federated Strava alternative?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The main limitation I always had with Strava was limited activities. I know there are off road onewheelers who log their routes as ice skating, for example.

  It would also be nice to save points of interest that aren’t linear routes. E.g. nice vantage points, businesses that accommodate group rides, public water/toilets/power.

  M’spaint.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Friday Night Fights⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Soju and fried chicken is also an excellent option.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I can't believe it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  True, but it already felt like a cheap shot. The highland cows are another one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I can't believe it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The £ is a bit of a giveaway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you use your blinker in a car?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s actually easier to just use it every time. Deciding whether you need to is cognitive load that’s better spent on other things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When old people tell you about "the good old days" and how great things used to be⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Around here we still have them, and they provide free wifi. My home is almost close enough to pick up the signal from one in the main street.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rocky rock rocking⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Pebbles are small enough to fit in your mouth. This is clearly a stone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why there are few video games with a lot of mythological pantheons?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Which mythologies would you like to see represented?

  I think this would apply to all media, and probably just comes down to some traditions being more familiar and having more cultural impact in general.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which game is it?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I kind of miss when No Man’s Sky was an endless, empty expanse. That sense of loneliness and futility was an emotional experience that it doesn’t have now. It’s become a much better game, no doubt, but putting time and careful planning into that long crawl towards the galactic centre felt right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You guys have to end it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re on a steep hill, yes sometimes you need to use the handbrake to get moving. This had to be demonstrated when I got my licence, but to be fair some manual vehicles now have automatic hill start. Still a good technique to learn because it doesn’t always activate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Come one come all, it's time to unblock !conservative@lemmy.world and bring your best memes of conservatives!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When progressivism moves toward conservatism, conservatism moves toward regressivism.

  Purescript targeting the Erlang VM

  Have you tried Gleam?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are "Lifetime" Cloud Storage Plans scams?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t seem to make sense, but I gave pCloud a chance years ago, and I’ve been using the lifetime plan ever since. I feel like I got my money’s worth, so not too worried if I eventually have to migrate elsewhere.
