  Cleaning the flat top was like the only satisfying part of working in a kitchen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you know, you know.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My brain immediately went to “OP is trying to trigger the trypophobics.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An easy way to enlarge a photo⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve done the same thing from the other end; got in to my car and realized my music didn’t start playing. Look around and, oops! No phone. My first thought was, “oh no big deal, I’ll just call-DAMMIT”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Send that debt to the shadow realm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Some places still don’t have a customer-facing terminal, like my bodega.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Send that debt to the shadow realm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I bought mine from a place called Cucu Covers

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨1.1 History⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Rabbinical scholars argue about the correct translation of Genesis to this day. So you saying they’re “literal days” is meaningless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Send that debt to the shadow realm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a sticker on my debit card that makes it look like a Blockbuster card. I get so many confused looks when I had it to cashiers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨1.1 History⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe they’re days on a logarithmic scale?

  This child is unhinged.

  We stan.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Long It Takes the Largest Companies in America to Make One Employee's Average Annual Salary⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Says right at the top of the chart. The 3 data points are 2022 revenue, revenue per second, and average salary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This split sink⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Unless they went to a scratch-and-dent or secondhand place, then I can imagine it’d be a lot cheaper

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Steam (Windows PC version) the only program (to my knowledge) that natively snaps to windows displays?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I just wish Windows would do like Chrome OS does and give you a little detent when you move a window to the edge of the screen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  And it’s always wrong in the weirdest, someone-has-to-be-fucking-with-me ways. I ordered a sausage, egg, and cheese McMuffin for breakfast the other day. I hate their cheese, so I ordered just sausage and egg.

  I opened the wrapper to my sandwich, and I had a sausage patty and 3 slices of cheese. It was rung up correctly, so I truly have no clue what was going on in the back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨America is so great we privatized taxes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t say they would be. But to pretend American healthcare makes sense is beyond absurd. Workers are already taxed to fund Medicare/-aid (which we can’t access), then we’re also expected to pay private insurance premiums. The best part is that’s de minimis! All that gets you is a pass to get in the door.

  Then you have to pay co-pays and coinsurance, and possibly your deductible. We pay SIGNIFICANTLY more than our peers in the wider world for no reason other than greed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨America is so great we privatized taxes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Paying for a service that most of the rest of the world decided should already be covered.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today I finally picked up my phone from in-warranty repair (motherboard replacement), I found out the camera doesn't work.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I absolutely understand; I used to be a repair tech for Sprint. That said, screen repair for the Pixel 6a doesn’t even require the back to be removed, so I think it was more an education issue than anything else. I don’t think it was malicious at all, but shortly after I noticed the NFC issues, the back fell off and I saw they’d cracked it pretty severely and stuck it back on with double-stick tape. It was less the crime and more the cover-up that pissed me off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨when you drink pop or other sweet drinks do they taste sweet the whole time?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Usually for me, the sweetness hits first, but then subsequent sips reveal more depth of flavor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today I finally picked up my phone from in-warranty repair (motherboard replacement), I found out the camera doesn't work.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I recently took my Pixel 6a in for screen repair; somehow, water got under the glass and caused the whole thing to glitch out in a way that looked like I spilled black ink all over. Really bizarre.mAnyway, I picked up the phone and visually inspected it - all was good, so I took it home. They said they tested it, I took their word for it.

  Turns out they destroyed the NFC antenna, disabling Google Pay for me. It took me almost and month and several emails to corporate, but they ended up fixing their mistake.

  Point is, this very well may be the fault of the repair people. I’d reach out to them first.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every year without fail. Beautiful, perfect weather then suddenly on Halloween…fucking freezing.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Growing up in the Northeast, we got very used to wearing our puffy winter coats over our costumes most years. If you were lucky it was clear and cold, but most years it either snowed or rained.

  I’d imagine not unilaterally; she’d still need parliamentary action.

  Right? I was very confused until I saw where I was. Good shitpost.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Milk⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Gatekeeping… Milk?

  Please go outside. That’s one of the stupidest things I’ve heard in years to be overly sensitive about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Milk⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Clearly humor is dead on Lemmy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do we make this happen?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I like to imagine they compete to see who gets the best drag queen for story hour. We could do a draft!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do we make this happen?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The idea of branch rivalries intrigues me greatly
