- Comment on Anon's dad tries to bond 5 days ago:
I told my dad I was going to play board games with friends and he spelled out B-O-R-E-D and went on a rant about how much he hates board games and that they’re for losers. We haven’t spoken in about five years.
- Comment on Melbourne trains finally arrive in the Myki-less era with tap-and-go payments, almost a decade after Sydney 2 weeks ago:
… concession passengers and all regional areas are not expected to be able to use the technology until mid-2027 and the Myki system will not be retired until a year later.
Two more years before we’re myki free, maybe.
- Comment on Why do I think music sounds better on my old MP3 player? 2 weeks ago:
FWIW my ears aren’t trained enough to tell the difference b/w bluetooth and cable for my headphones.
- Comment on How do I re-establish peaceful relations with a family of crows? 2 weeks ago:
They’ll know. Do it a few times. Whistle, click or clap a bit before hand so they’re paying attention.
- Comment on How do I re-establish peaceful relations with a family of crows? 2 weeks ago:
You might not be allowed to feed them directly, but I bet you can eat a messy sandwich or souvlaki that drops a bunch of meat and cheese.
- Comment on what’s your best “nitric acid acts upon trousers” moment? 4 weeks ago:
It’s not really science-y, but expanding foam is a type of glue and will glue to everything it can. I got expanding foam everywhere including all over my hands for about a week. They were just crusty, not glued to stuff.
- Comment on Given dogs' propensity for sniffing other animals' buttholes and piles of other animals' shit, do their noses and sinuses have specialised bacteria/antibodies that protect them infection? 1 month ago:
Dogs have anal glands which is part of what they’re sniffing when sniffing each others rear ends.
- Comment on When is the best time to leave your dog in the car without getting a window smashed from a wannabe hero? Info Inside 1 month ago:
The Australian law is no more than ten minutes on a day over 28 Celsius.
That said for me it depends on the dog and how the dog is feeling right then. My dig is half Chihuahua, he’ll like on the concreted in the backyard on 40+ days when everyone is posting about how it’s dangerous for dogs to be out in the heat. I’ve known a bunch of kelpies - Australian working farm dogs - that are just fine in the heat as long as it’s not extreme.
- Comment on Stand-Up Comedian Teaches Introverts How to Talk to Strangers (aka how the average lemmy user talks to strangers) 1 month ago:
This minute was better than the two comedy shows I went to last weekend.
- Comment on PS5 Price increase collapses PlayStation console sales in Japan, with Xbox gaining 2 months ago:
That’s why I got an Atari 2600 and not an original NES.
- Comment on Would it be silly of me to get a small dog if I am a little afraid of bigger ones? 2 months ago:
Having a dog is a magnet for other dogs on walks. They often want to say hi to each other, sometimes they’re dicks about it.
I have a small dog and it’s a bunch of work. He barks when left alone for too long, needs a walk twice a day. Food, water, vet, meds and I’ll eventually have to get him put down. I like my dog, I’m happy to give him a good life, I’m not planning on getting another.
- Comment on Bowen says fuel supply secure until May, as he warns against storing petrol at home 2 months ago:
If you’re not putting a kiddy pool in the tray of your ute are you even hoarding?
- Comment on Why are people so rude on Reddit compared to the Fediverse? 2 months ago:
There was that post on scissor statements recently which might explain a lot, or just be conspiracy. slatestarcodex.com/2018/…/sort-by-controversial/
- Comment on How far do you wear your daily shoes out before bothering to replace them? 4 months ago:
Work boots - Redback - until they split at the bridge and water gets in - ~4 years. Runners - Asics Trail Running shoes - until the foam in the sole has worn down. 1500km (8km/day dog walking).
Crocks - Until they’re fucked. Had them two years now.
Birkenstocks - Until they’re fucked. Had them six years now. Self replacing the sole was a waste of time for me. I’ll but another pair sometime but I only wear them a few months of the year. - Comment on What common American habits do people find quietly annoying? 5 months ago:
The big dumb cars.
