At last an Onion article that makes me smile instead of weep for the state of politics being so bad that complete and utter batshit crazy nonsense is so hard to tell from news these days.

Nice. Hope your friend enjoys his time with the boobs. My friend won’t be drawn on his main account about what he’s into, and has a separate alt on that instance that he won’t tell me the name of.
- Comment on They're coming 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, yeah, definitely. And my friend thanks you too.

There was a post on science memes that pointed out that make giraffes smell the urine of all the female giraffes and if none of them are on heat, have sex with each other instead. I found that the fact stuck with me. The thread got deleted by the mods because it all got a bit daft.
- Comment on Why do so many UK electrical sockets have an on/off switch next to them? 3 weeks ago:
Ah, this is fantastic. I learned some stuff, thank you.

You’re right, now that I think about it. Laptop power does it more than anything else.
- Comment on Why do so many UK electrical sockets have an on/off switch next to them? 3 weeks ago:
Home electricity in North America has roughly half the voltage as elsewhere in the world, and double the voltage is double the arcing potential, so that figures.
- Comment on Why do so many UK electrical sockets have an on/off switch next to them? 3 weeks ago:
Maybe, but with the switches on the sockets, I hardly ever unplug anything at all unless I’m moving it. Why would I?
So pretty much every time something’s unplugged, it’s in my hand or away in a cupboard, never lying on the floor.

I have confused you during this whole conversation with @OmegaCloud who first said it. Sorry about that. Now the downvotes make sense!

You must be great at keeping secrets too!

Ah that all makes sense now, thank you for explaining.
- Comment on Anon airs out 1 month ago:
Not really. I don’t know what effect you thought posting the stereotype online in public was going to have other than to spread it. This is exactly and precisely what spreading it looks like, surely?
- Comment on Anon airs out 1 month ago:
I don’t spread such stereotypes
I’ve got some bad news for you…
- Comment on Day 1 Reddit Refugee 1 month ago:
This is a really good point.

I’ve been here about a year now. Good times. Your voice counts on lemmy in a way it really really doesn’t on reddit. People will engage with you because you’re human and say human things. It’s much more welcoming for people who like to talk somehow than reddit ever was. Don’t know why.
By the way, people talk a lot about how lemmy.world censors luigi, but I use lemmy.world and see, upvote and sometimes comment on plenty of luigi stuff without mod intervention. Maybe it’s just one of two communities (subreddits) where it’s enforced.
If you’re a communist and don’t like to hear China (or sometimes for some weird reason Russia) criticised, and if you feel that the USA is the Imperialist power that needs to be broken first, you’ll feel most at home in lemmygrad.ml, hexbear.net, but also lemmy.ml if you want to keep access to stuff from lemmy.world.
If you’re progressive or liberal, you’ll be fairly happy here on lemmy.world. If you’re a conservative, I don’t know where to recommend you.
There are various country specific ones you might find suit you for other reasons.
All in all I’m not sure it matters a great deal as much as it sounds in my post. People from different instances turn up and say stuff anyway.
The best advice is that you don’t have to lurk as much as you used to on reddit, you can show up and engage and the conversation will start around you.

Yeah, their plan is: deduce what kind of thing they want, broaden it to include more sponsored products, list as many as possible to boost ad revenue, try as hard as possible to get them to cave and buy a sponsored product so we can make more money from ad revenue. Sucks as a customer. Probably sucks as a supplier, it’s the standard monopoly enshitified money extraction maximiser.

Oh wow, I visited, and instead of the usual cookie popup (where you have to click to accept all cookies or customise them), it put a little box in the corner saying “Do not track mode detected. Storing only strictly necessary cookies.” which then automatically closed!
My browser often detects and auto-fills the more common cookie dialogs for me, but this is the loveliest cookie experience anywhere.
I randomly decided to pretend to want a new mobile - RELEVANT filters that ACTUALLY FILTER!
Thank you so much for this recommendation.

What’s the Toughsheet Community? Is it a local buyout or something?
You are actually tempting me to have a train trip up there or something! I think I should resist, though!

Ah superb. Well done them. I’ve been to the Reebok Stadium, but I don’t think it was this century!

Oh wow, is that the same scan from years ago? Back in the day they had a good reputation for being decently priced with decent customer service. For some reason I thought they folded.

I didn’t really understand what they meant either, and just thought it was a typo in a sarcastic comment saying something like “Why wouldn’t you want things that were irritatingly sponsored?!”, so I thought it was a confusing post (until right now when I re-read it), and I still have no idea why people have been downvoting you for not understanding.
Anyway, now I get what they were trying to say.
They mean “If you find it on amazon but then buy it elsewhere, presumably the elsewhere has fewer of the problems with ads and sponsored content, and you can find a specific item quite easily. I’m skeptical that such a place exists, but I’d sure like to use it if it does. Where is this magical elsewhere of which you speak?”
