- Comment on Earbud question: Does anyone actually like to silicone tipped earbuds over the solid plastic ones? 3 days ago:
I think that visualization dealt psychic damage to me lol.
My problem is that I have super waxy ears, so unless I cleaned them literally every time I used them, the silicone tips would just get uber crusty and gross.
- Comment on Earbud question: Does anyone actually like to silicone tipped earbuds over the solid plastic ones? 3 days ago:
I don’t really wear earbuds because I don’t actually like either style. The hard plastic ones are uncomfortable after 10-20 minutes for me and don’t stay in my ears. The soft tip ones get really gross and are difficult to clean well, but a decent pair comes with different sizes of tips to better fit my ears.
I have over-headphones that I like, but many of them tend to be uncomfortable after a few hours. I’ve actually come to really like my bone conduction earbuds for general listening because it just rests on my temples with minimal pressure and there’s nothing in my ears. They have pretty solid quality, but not audiophile-grade or anything like that.

Anyone who thinks people aren’t as shitty irl clearly haven’t worked in customer-facing roles, e.g. restaurants, retail, or support.

From what I understand, this is something a German tabloid speculated on and the world ran with it. There’s currently no evidence this actually happened.
“This wild rumor started off a few weeks ago from pure hearsay,” FIS spokesperson Bruno Sassi told The Associated Press. “There has never been any indication, let alone evidence, that any competitor has ever made use of a hyaluronic acid injection to attempt to gain a competitive advantage.”

This started to be a thing when I was in grade school. I remember my 7th grade history teacher not knowing how to respond when I asked if the salad bowl included the native Americans whose culture the US tried to destroy (I was a precocious smart-ass at the time)

Now I’m having thermodynamics flashbacks. It’s just under 500 rankine I think? Been a few years since I even thought about that unit

Then you’d have a little freezer I think. Isn’t the freezing point of water (at normal atmosphere) approx. 274 K?

What does this have to do with a shitposting comm or Lemmy in general?
- Comment on Meta - There's Levels To This Shit 3 months ago:
Honestly my one critique of this is that if they manage to infect you with that ‘biotracker’, then they must already know where you are to do so. If not, how would the person they want to track be the only person infected with it? So then this tracker doesn’t really provide any new information. Maybe I’m overthinking it…

Why do you keep posting these thinly-veiled ads in a shitposting comm?

‘Nyockie’ isn’t a word either, you’re looking for gnocchi.

Yup, happens to me occasionally, typically on my morning commute when I’m still waking up. Scary as fuck every time.

Anecdotally, something like gum or jerky to chew on helps me stave off highway hypnosis on longer road trips. I also find stopping and getting out to walk around for a few minutes helps fight the worst of it.

Baggier pants seem to be coming back in style. Skin-tight seems to have been more of a millennial preference

Try looking for a boot cut. It’s similar, kind of baggy and the cuff is oversized to fit over boots (hence the name)

Is forest free or paid? It’s kind of hard to be both. If it’s a free download but requires a subscription or in app purchases to be useful, then it’s not really free.

There are indeed plenty of copies, but I wonder if somewhere the whole playlist was properly archived. I’d love to peruse it again for old time’s sake

Back in the day, it was kept on the sacred ‘important videos’ playlist
