- Comment on Would I sound taller if I gave my height as 6'-4"? 3 weeks ago:
There’s no requirement for a person to be 6’ to realise OP isn’t near that height. Most people know their own height or at least an approximation. Someone 5’5" will notice this “6’ person” is only 3 inches taller than them and immediately know they’re a liar.
- Comment on Are the character names in most Anime real Japanese names or just made up? 3 weeks ago:
Then there are the ones where the writer thinks they’re funny…
- Comment on Are the character names in most Anime real Japanese names or just made up? 3 weeks ago:
Slice of life mostly has real names or spins on real names. Fantasy has fantasical names or ones the author thought sounded fantastical. Then lots of in-between.
- Comment on Has anyone else experienced these psychological changes after eating meat? 3 weeks ago:
You described eating meat as messing with your brain. Even if general effects are considered positive, it’s not exactly great and the crazy vegans (specifically vegans who are crazy, not calling all vegans crazy) would certainly sell it as messing with your brain chemistry.
- Comment on Has anyone else experienced these psychological changes after eating meat? 4 weeks ago:
Undercooked, not uncooked. The parasite is still active even in rare meat. It needs to be done to medium before it’s truly safe (grey all the way through and easily slips off the fork when inserted).
- Comment on Has anyone else experienced these psychological changes after eating meat? 4 weeks ago:
Beyond sounding like absolute anti-carnivore hogwash or placebo, it sounds like a weirdly accelerated case of that parasite you can get from eating undercooked red meat.
- Comment on what is a word like yaoi or yuri, but for boy x girl? 4 weeks ago:
Using classic genre labels, would it not just be romance?
- Comment on Does more expensive phones have better reception? 4 weeks ago:
No. Price has almost very little to do with reception and more to do with the general finish of the product. It used to mean more features too but there’s a rather pronounced bell curve on that aspect these days. If you’ve got a specific device in mind, GSMArena should be able to give you all the information you need.
- Comment on How do I keep a 9 year old from constantly licking erasers and putting them in his mouth 4 weeks ago:
Something similar to the spray they use on animals after a surgery? It’s safe for consumption but it tastes god-awful to stop the animal licking the wound.
- Comment on erotic scenes actors and actresses, how do you not get aroused while acting in those scenes? 1 month ago:
While you’re wearing essentially a balloon or a strip of carpet and nothing else

A turd by any other name…
- Comment on How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027) 1 month ago:
Graphene? Meaning the OS where you have to have a specific range of devices that aren’t even very good for the sort of people who’d want an OS like that? I’d most likely be on Graphene already if it wasn’t for that annoying as hell limitation.
- Comment on What age gap is too big of an age gap if someone's in their early 30's? 1 month ago:
This is where I can only speak broadly since every country (and state/province) has it’s own laws but from a legal standpoint, minors need parental consent to do a great many things. Dating in the broad term such as a young couple going to see a movie with each other would likely be seen as an innocuous activity and not worth a court’s time. Where laws get involved are when it comes to physical intimacy and they can be loose or draconian. Just in the US alone, there are laws that dictate minors of the same age are able to do as they please, some have the “Romeo & Juliet law” otherwise known as the close-in-age law, and others deem physical intimacy between minors as strictly illegal meaning if 2 minors of the same age had sex, they’d both be committing sexual assault against a minor. To put the power of parental consent into perspective though, in the UK it was possible for a couple wherein one or more of the two were 16 or 17 were legally able to marry with parental consent. This was true until as recently as 2023 due to child abuse issues but that’s incredibly recent for such a thing.
- Comment on What age gap is too big of an age gap if someone's in their early 30's? 1 month ago:
I know what you were asking but your question reads as “So you don’t like waffles?”. No-one was saying anything about anyone under the age of 18, only what minimum age is appropriate for anyone who’s already a legal adult. I think 15-17 are fine dating amongst themselves but that’s an age where parental consent is concerned in a lot of places.
- Comment on What age gap is too big of an age gap if someone's in their early 30's? 1 month ago:
That’s not what’s being said. From the context of an adult dating some, 15/16 is too young unless the older person is really close to that age (18, 19 at a push and I only think like that because I’m from somewhere with an age of consent of 16. Places with AoC of 18 would obviously be skewed older).
When one of the people is on the younger side, the old rule of thumb (age of older person/2+7) is a best practice for what would be considered inappropriate.
- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 1 month ago:
Very true. I realise I should have picked my wording better in my original post that was meant to be little more than a quick summary. When I said ‘feminist side’ I did not wish to refer to all feminists but specifically the new generation type otherwise known as the ‘feminazi’ or ‘those loud unempathetic bitches you see on Tiktok’.
- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 2 months ago:
I can’t say I’ve encountered that. I don’t doubt there are reasonable feminists out there but the ones I’ve encountered have been the “all men are trash” type.
- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 2 months ago:
From the feminist side, there’s a lack of empathy towards men because “they did it to themselves” and from most other camps it’s “men are supposed to be tough, stop being a pussy”.
- Comment on Is it realistic to hope that lemmy grows to the size of the bigger social media platforms? 2 months ago:
Also a good point.
- Comment on Is it realistic to hope that lemmy grows to the size of the bigger social media platforms? 2 months ago:
Precisely this. The more people come here, the more of the judgemental shitheads are going to come too. I’ve encountered a few on here already but nothing like back there.
- Comment on Why is kindness often viewed as a sign of naïveté? 2 months ago:
Because the world is ruled by sociopaths.

Because of My Cousin Vinny, I know ‘Ma’ to be very New Jersey but I suppose it could be southern too.

I can add that on Jerboa it displays properly in the text body but not the title.
- Comment on Can I learn how to "photoshop" images without PhotoShop^TM and also on my iPhone? 3 months ago:
I believe that’s an attempt at formatting superscript.
- Comment on when is "cool" fine and when is it rude? 4 months ago:
Then it’s context. If you’re going for the excited delivery, try throwing in a ! other it could be misinterpreted as uncaring or dismissive.

Once. By accident. Just grabbed a pair off a shelf that were labeled with my size and that was it. Hated them. So impractical.
