• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm new around here, and learning about all the different instances and the culture/history behind them has been fun but overwhelming. Is there somewhere I could go for a crash-course?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  TL;DR I don’t know how any of this shit works.

  So when I left Reddit I wanted a similar experience, you know just the basic part, getting news from different viewpoints, cat videos, jokes, commentary TIL, ask Reddit, everything. I looked up online alternatives to Reddit and wherever I was had Lemmy as the top one. So I went there and when I was asked, I of course had no clue how to answer, so I picked .world because why would I want LESS than the whole world. I mean I didn’t see an option for .universe. Later, I was criticized for picking a shitty one by some random guy. So I went in the pullout on the side and couldn’t see any way to even change it.

  I almost never post because when I was on Reddit and tried to post it was almost always taken down for some reason. Once I tried to post on Lemmy. I put it in asklemmy. It was a question about Linux and I was getting some really great feedback. I was delighted and sure enough my post was deleted and I didn’t even understand the reason. I think it said something about me not belonging to the instance. So I’m thinking why did it let me post in the first place and why did it let them answer and if it’s technically possible to do it in the first place, why disallow it? For, I guess some broken guideline? Just let it slide or maybe move it the the right place and tell me where it went.

  I’m sure some of you will criticize me for not learning how it all works but man I just want to surf around and learn and be entertained and informed. I’m not looking to figure out a whole ecosystem. Some people want to take the whole car apart and others just want to get where they’re going.

  Yeah my nephew saw that and told me the same thing. Gotta find that video.

  I was under the impression the some Christians thought they were proof that giants existed, a la David and Goliath.

  So these “women” are so hot he’d like to shoot them?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨With regards to cutlery, do you prefer a spoon or a fork for eating cake?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well my opinion may be skewed a bit since I have celiac and can only eat gluten free cake which usually falls apart. I can see your point as I remember crushing the crumbs with the tines back in my gluten years. Harder to do with a spoon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨With regards to cutlery, do you prefer a spoon or a fork for eating cake?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m surprised to hear that. Not sure I’ve ever been given a spoon. Why do you prefer a fork? Doesn’t some fall through?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨With regards to cutlery, do you prefer a spoon or a fork for eating cake?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It seems to always be served with a fork but now that you mention it I think a spoon would be better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨women⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ummm, yeah it’s a joke dude.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨women⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It is kind of dark but I think women can appreciate it because it acknowledges that they been oppressed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨women⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If women are so great, how come they’ve never oppressed an entire gender?

  I live in the US and I have no idea what that’s like.

  Talked to a friend that lives in Japan and he was confused about the defecating thing but definitely corroborated the dislike for Chinese tourist groups.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Japan cancels cherry blossom festival over complaints of tourists littering and ‘defecating’ in yards⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Tourists who can afford to fly on an airplane and therefore presumably understand how a toilet works are actually defecating in yards? I admit I didn’t read the article but it doesn’t pass my smell test.

  That’s not true! The US is the hottest country right now!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I need to vent about plastic milk jugs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So I’m simpler terms I think what you’re saying is the bottle shrinks (surface area decreases). When it does, the volume decreases too and it’s a 5:1 ratio. Correct?

  I did click on the link someone posted here and the article made sense to me. Number one was structural. Which is what I would think. Number two mentioned this winter summer think but not during manufacturing ( which makes sense to me), but during shipping which still doesn’t make sense to me. What milk or even orange juice is NOT refrigerated?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I need to vent about plastic milk jugs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sorry, I’m just not buying this explanation. I’d need more evidence.

  What surface area? It’s volume we’re talking about. You mean if the plastic gets thicker, thereby reducing the interior surface area there is a corresponding decrease in volume? And it’s 5 to 1 ratio? So if the plastic is thicker by 20% there is no room for milk?

  Winter bottles, summer bottles? Like the temperatures aren’t controlled because it costs money? They just compensate with a plug, what every season? Like it costs money to control the temperature of a process but it doesn’t cost money wasting plastic.

  Hey, I’m not an expert on this subject and I could be wrong but from my perspective you’re just some guy on the Internet that sounds like he knows what he’s talking about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I need to vent about plastic milk jugs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with you.

  But the yachts. How would you get yachts with a mere $1M - $5M? And jets?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What activity or pastime of yours is barrels of fun?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ultimate frisbee is more like frisbee football and is played with a Frisbee. I used to do that too. A little too intense for me now. Getting older. Plus when I moved the ultimate frisbee crowd here sucks. Real jerks.

  Disk golf is literally like Frisbee golf. It is played with discs. They are a little smaller and quite a bit more not sure how to say it “aggressive”. The “holes” are metal baskets with chains that hang from a halo over the top. The chains sort of grab the disc if you hit them right and the disc falls into the basket. Or in my case the chains act like a wall and spit the disc out. It’s mostly walking from an exercise perspective and yeah quite a bit more laid back. Technically challenging though. Really love it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What activity or pastime of yours is barrels of fun?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Does disc golf count?
