… where it’s not possible to communicate with someone digitally…
I’d be thrilled to go back to that, if what we’re getting now instead is the only other option. But, I grew up in the before-times, so I’m not so put off by the idea.
- Comment on Filling it with water is obviously not the objective. Wonder what it's about 19 hours ago:
The objective is humor.
- Comment on Anybody? Thought I'd ask here. Poor little guy 1 day ago:
I don’t like the urge to anthropomorphize these small, mobile robots.
“Poor little guy.”
These things are increasingly being used to spy on us, not just vacuum cleaners, but the delivery robots, too. They aren’t cute, they’re intrusive and threatening. I have no sympathy or fuzzy feelings for them. Better to see them for what they are.
- Comment on More chickens! 1 day ago:
A couple of my neighbors have chickens here in suburbia, and there’s at least one rooster around. I don’t complain because I’m old and up at dawn anyway.
Much better than my neighbor’s dog that barked at me viciously whenever I went in my backyard. Call me whatever you want, but I’m glad that dog finally died.

They only live a few months, and they spend three days of it having sex.
- Comment on Why do you never talk about what you're reading? Me: 1 day ago:
“I don’t care what Olivia is reading, I’m just glad she’s reading.”
- Comment on Name that tune. 1 day ago:
Source?
I wanna hear it.
- Comment on "Parenting is buying 6 yogurts and watching them all get eaten In one day.....Then buying 12 yogurts and watching them expire because, “Nobody likes yogurt." " 2 days ago:
You can’t guarantee shit based on such a broad generalization.

Same, but with milk. One week, we’d empty a gallon in four days, so I’d buy an extra half-gallon the next week, and he wouldn’t touch it, leaving me to finish it. So, I’d buy only a half-gallon the next week, and yep, “We’re out of milk!”
Mostly, I avoided this by limiting what he had to eat as snacks and making all of his meals. So, there wasn’t much he was getting on his own.
- Comment on What is the sartorial function of that flap your zipper keeps getting caught in? 2 days ago:
It catches the flap, the underwear, your pubes, or your skin. Your choice.
- Comment on Would it be better to just have a lot of society be underground? 3 days ago:
It’s much more expensive to build underground.
- Comment on The natural habitat of the single male 4 days ago:
The pillow came with a pillowcase.
- Comment on Heat waves hate this one WEIRD trick 4 days ago:
Pinhead used the ladder to get in, he’ll worry about getting out when he needs to pee.
- Comment on The end of civilization costs $5 5 days ago:
I happen to live where the tap water is excellent. It’s from ancient, underground aquifers. The only issue is a little bit high arsenic, which I filter out, but that’s not really necessary, I’ve been told.
It’s not sustainable, eventually the water will run out, but for now, it’s pretty good.
So, no, this American doesn’t buy water in plastic jugs.

I was a graphic designer for over 20 years. I believe it.
The client sketched this, and it was made without question. Or, the client gave the designer free rein, and the designer didn’t like the client. Or, there was no designer directly involved, and this was a PowerPoint template.
- Comment on Do your ears hang low 5 days ago:
Probably on a treadmill inside. Pfeh. No fun.
- Comment on I wonder why the world is on fire? A mystery 5 days ago:
Everyone likes socialism, as long as it isn’t called socialism. Two sides of the same coin. We’ve been duped.
- Comment on If it were suddenly revealed that a significant number of questions posted in this comm were ai bots would that bother you? 5 days ago:
I don’t want to talk to a machine. I might as well be talking to a wall, or a cloud.
Also, all the resources the literally stupid things use to generate one idiotic response is just disgusting.
- Comment on Chilling reminder of how people thought in 1923 6 days ago:
The more interesting thing to me is the coherent answer from a “housewife”.
If this were today, no one would believe a housewife wrote this. Our public education system is shit today, compared to 100 years ago. By design.
- Comment on This phone in the stock room was so filthy someone put a clean grip on it so you wouldn't have to touch it 1 week ago:
What that someone you?
- Comment on Holy hell, Ernie. 1 week ago:
If you go out in the world and see people in public, you probably see a few every day who are either much younger, or much older than they look, but you don’t notice, because people don’t have their age printed on their shirt.
- Comment on This Apple Lie at the grocery store 1 week ago:
You could not eat food with palm oil in it. There’s a suggestion.
Nothing I eat has palm oil in it. I don’t specifically avoid it, but I do avoid processed foods generally, and palm oil is only in processed food.
- Comment on Impossible 1 week ago:
That doesn’t sound better at all.

The lit won’t lock. It just won’t flush.

What friends?
- Comment on And the good news is she got the job 1 week ago:
Oh god! You’re gonna make me work!
- Comment on I feel like this could have been a smaller package 1 week ago:
They could have made the pills larger, to fill up the bottle. Then you wouldn’t even guess there was something to complain about.
Bottles are made in standard sizes by the millions, they used whatever worked for this product, base on what others here have said.
Pills are mostly filler anyway, just to make them big enough to handle, and also to improve dosing per pill. The active ingredient is usually a very small part of the volume.
I guarantee, if it were cheaper, all things considered, to use a smaller bottle, they would have.

Past lives be like that, tho.
