I wouldn’t be surprised to discover horses are better cared for now than when the coin was termed. We just understand nutrition better these days for both humans and animals. And we don’t beat our animals like they did back then either.

Mom brain. Judging by the ages of the kids in the image she hasn’t slept well for years.
- Comment on Why not serve fried chicken on Juneteenth? How is it different from serving corned beef on St. Patrick’s day? 1 week ago:
Interestingly, if you look at the menu for Juneteenth, it doesn’t include fried chicken. The only chicken is a dry rub chicken that wouldn’t be fried. So your evidence confirms they believe fried chicken is in fact not appropriate for Junteenth. That’s a good reference point if we all accept that the national museum of African American history is an authority on such matters.

This is likely why I haven’t seen my doctor write anything for over a decade. Literally everything is done on the computer now. There’s a rolling computer in each room. The only handwriting I saw was by the nurses on a big whiteboard when my wife was giving birth. Just to pass notes and write times.

Someone did tell them, unless they started butchering and dissecting ostriches themselves. By the time you find yourself in this position… you already know. 🙃

No ascot. Couldn’t be.

I feel like the poster didn’t mean to infer American capitalism is so great we need a wall to slow people down from entering while communism is so shitty they need a wall to prevent people from escaping.
It’s a strangely pro American capitalism meme for lemmy.

It really does look like salami…
- Comment on How have you personally found the Lemmy community compared to its competition and other social media? 5 months ago:
That was my experience on blahaj. I’d never been banned from a community, let alone one I’ve been an ally to before. Such a pure echo chamber that even discussing why the outside world holds the views they have, even without expressing agreement, gets you labeled a transphobe.
Honestly, it soured me on lemmy as a whole since that was the content I had been enjoying the most.
- Comment on The Downfall of Amazon: Dangerous Products, Fake Reviews & Vanishing Brands - Louis Rossman 6 months ago:
It’s the cost of the lumped in “free shipping.” I find the prices are good when I buy bulk. Like I’ll buy 3 packs of my deodorant and toothpaste and then the price is better than all my local stores. For whatever reason, none of the stores carry the scent I like in deodorant. They only carry antiperspirant, which I didn’t want, causing me to research my options online.

It’s all made overseas anyway. Might as well pay less and have it dropped at my doorstep. There is very little non-food that I get from a “local store” for less or at better quality.
Returning stuff at stores with understaffed front ends is more annoying than dropping off returns at wholefoods as well.
I’ll go back to Brick and Mortar when they go back to being the customer service models they’re supposed to be.
- Comment on British Police are Using Period Tracker Data and Blood Tests To Investigate Patients Who Miscarry 7 months ago:
Sex can be determined at 9 weeks via blood test, so it would still be possible to legally abort before 12 weeks with that knowledge as long as you don’t disclose your reasoning.
