  An early Family Guy episode had a relevant quote:

  Why is everything that would be wet dry and everything that should be dry wet?!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨unironically what i asked the 2 guys traveling with me to do at Suoi Mo Waterfall⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I learned about this from The Rundown.

  Have you read the short story “All Summer in a Day”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fidget toys⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It is.

  It is my recommendation that you not read it if you’re unfamiliar, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fidget toys⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know whether to upvote due to a classic reference or downvote because it’s that one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gee willikers, hey Craig!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Is this what happens when there’s a Microsoft / Apple crossover episode?

  As much as I’m mildly technically competent, I tend to interact with my email from a browser. Generally speaking, it’s not that easy to alter headers in that environment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  But let you take a picture?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨irony is pressing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sort of. I have a “catch-all” address (that’s just the most legit looking result to a search for the phrase, I won’t vouch for whether it’s a good site). Basically anything@domain.com goes to spam@domain.com. It’s a bit awkward if you need to respond, but otherwise, it’s good for signing up to sites and it makes it easy to filter out ones that spam you and don’t provide a good unsubscribe link.

  Weren’t they trying to establish that in the first Rincewind book? I thought they determined it to be unknowable, but it has been a long time since I read it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this too shitty, even for Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What about the big breath you take because you’ve forgotten to inhale for a while?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Capitalism sucks :3⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, they didn’t ask.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨More than a dipper⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey, I think Futurama made a documentary about that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨you ot' a bloody loisense for that bottle o watta innit?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s different from how I remember M. Bison sounding.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨swag⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Funny, since they hate water.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it normal to "like" or at least not care seeing people suffer?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair enough. Thank you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it normal to "like" or at least not care seeing people suffer?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  “Gainsay” is antiquated? Huh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One new message!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So how long have you lived in Baltimore?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rough time to be a woman. ☕⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a man, but I like it when my wife has orgasms. Often I do, too. Sometimes the two coincide and I really like that.

  I suspect men of old also loved their lovers, though not universally. Hopefully the ladies came as well.

  “it’s a psychological horror sort of film,” you say, clearly not remembering the part where he abruptly opens his eyes and sprays blood from them.

  … But yes, you got exactly right what I was referencing, thanks for the assist!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When you send old camcorder cassettes to a digitising service, do they watch the contents?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So how was it working with Robin Williams?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LEARN THE TRUTH⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Recently I’ve been reading the book Eifelhelm, which features a character named “Okham.” Another character facilitate with him says he’s met Okham’s successor and says “he used your razor.” It took me an embarrassing amount of time to realize that wasn’t meant literally. My first thought was that it was unsanitary, though the relevant part of the book is set in the 1300’s so I suppose that wasn’t a major concern.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The way this egg peels in infuriating⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t entirely disagree with you, but I’ve boiled eggs. I’ve peeled boiled eggs. I’ve never once given boiled eggs and ice bath - I didn’t even know that was a thing until I saw a roommate doing it in my early thirties (though to be fair I didn’t have my first boiled egg until my mid twenties).

  I’ve definitely peeled eggs poorly, as shown in the OP, but I’ve also peeled them nearly perfectly with no ice bath. I don’t know if it helps, but it’s not necessary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dyk⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Can’t argue that, but I still don’t want to live in a robot. I don’t want to die at the moment but I don’t think I want to live… However long a robot does.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dyk⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You might live forever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dyk⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  All of my loved ones want to have their organs donated to science, then have the leftovers cremated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dyk⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My wife was in the funeral industry for a while and studying mortuary sciences. She says she left because it was too depressing being pressured to upsell grieving families all the time.
