  Either way, a banana would be useful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Too late⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I only eat bread from Ötzi’s stomach.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lab anxiety⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe it’s just me, but inconclusive results are still results, and get you a tiny step closer to the solution by redirecting you in a different direction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Learning Japanese⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I usually add context for this exact reason. You get lazy once, and there you go.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Learning Japanese⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s admirable! I looked it up in translate and got a completely different result. I think I know what was going on : ) 🦃

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Learning Japanese⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think we can - but just see how many people in your country call Turkey Türkiye (they made a request back in 2022) - and that was just one country, not all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Learning Japanese⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s like calling the entire country of the Netherlands Holland. Holland(ia?) is part of the Netherlands which gave the name of the country in a bunch of languages.

  This is weird, by the way, I just wrote about the exact same thing not too long ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What a great idea⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to work at this kiosk which was inside a café. A customer wanted to pay from the inside, which can happen, but it’s rare. Since the reader was cable wired to the plug at the window, I had to bring it to where he was standing, but the cable wasn’t long enough. I pulled it out as much as I could, and waited for him to step forward and reach out with his card is his hand.

  He was just standing there, waving his card at the machine from ~3-4 feet away. Like, I don’t know, at one point the cats reader would go “HEY, that card is Larry! Hi, Larry, how are you doing you old sonofabitch?”

  So they will be just called snakes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unsubscribe from users without blocking them - Is it possible, at all? If so, how?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a fine summary there, thanks. I don’t think #2 would be a real threat: it’s a bit like if Instagram wanted to sue Facebook because it also has a “follow” button. I totally understand the rest, and either is more than enough reason. Well, I hope they get there once, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unsubscribe from users without blocking them - Is it possible, at all? If so, how?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Haha, especially then! I wonder what’s preventing the dev(s?) from making this possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unsubscribe from users without blocking them - Is it possible, at all? If so, how?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I was afraid this would be the answer. But at least I know it’s not just me - thanks!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The feed is about to get much crustier⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  On the one hand, his posts contain a non-negligible number of “boomer” style memes (could be stuff like wife bad, targeted at minorities, vegans, whatever - not necessarily actual examples, just trying to define “boomer” humour), and some of them end up getting downvoted into negatives.

  On the other hand, he’s bringing content to Lemmy regularly. I’m not saying that’s enough on its own, but I can complain all day about niche communities being dead/empty, and then I don’t post shit. He does. More people should do that.

  Just do it right, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The hard work of calling out anyone who doesn't fully agree with him.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Now that all the corn is gone… should we just all mark every single post as NSFW? I guess it’s fine, since it’s been the case with Mickey7 for a while.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I suspected it was rage bait, starting with the British isles being coloured green, despite the existence of the word ‘toe’ there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YOLO⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know it’s not that relevant, but isn’t hydrofluoric acid a different a much more reactive acid than hydrochloric acid?

  Now imagine being the teacher, trying to proceed with the class when they first open it at this page.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How customer service jobs be⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I could only find the “original”, without the bottom text. The one with the comment is just as blurry. Image

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you sleep at night? Please respond with a number⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t sleep with a bra, either. It’s just an unnecessary layer, preventing my skin from breathing properly. The straps would also be just in the way. I’m a cis male, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The British Empire⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Nononono, you don’t get it: looking at the past 4+ governments, I think they want to increase the birth rate of the right people.

  I was so naïve back when had I thought the Labour would be any different from the Tories…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Freaky ass bird⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  All I see is a zerg overlord.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pioneer species⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Huh, I never heard of whackaroo before (neither did my keyboard app)!

  It’s a non-English one, and we “break” the “road” (also path) when we cut a path in the forest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pioneer species⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Weirdly, pioneer is ‘roadbreaker’ in my language (as in, making way, like ice breakers do). This would be just a literal name for us.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good job!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not trying to get you to keep using it (I should have stopped using it myself, as well), but if you insist using it for another month, you might as well just delete the app right now, and just visiting (the owl’s website name).com with the uBlock Origin extension.

  I’ve been using it that way from the start, and never installed the app. Zero push notifications, and as opposed to push notifications, you can actually filter your emails if you want to keep certain type of messages for some reason. It’s still not the best, but certainly less annoying.

  What made me decide to stop (at two years, also ~2 months from now) is the constant of unnecessary inflation of sections to keep you grinding, always moving the goal line. Well, and the obvious AI solutions, clearly meaning they booted a lot of people for cheap labour. And for gutting the discussions. Especially that: I used to learn more from the discussions/comments than the actual sections.

  But apart from obsession, there’s really no difference between still using it for another X days and quitting right now (says me, wanting to make it a nice and round 730 days). Yes, you might be able to learn a few extra words, and AT BEST one new thing about grammar, but the difference is just negligible, and you might have actually learned more from some other source during those X days, instead - with fewer of the aforementioned annoyances.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good job!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is that some kind of confirmational yes? I know that the boring, general yes would be ‘tak’. Or how does this thing work?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Twinkle twinkle little star⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I might be utterly prude, but the shininess of the exact same clothing has literally zero effect on my hotness meter. I don’t even understand why it would.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the tip, I should give it a try. I’m not sure I still have the energy to invest months until I start to understand stuff while sucking and losing all the time, but I will get there eventually.
