- Comment on I'd choose 4 tbh 2 days ago:
5,6,9 only ones that really make a big difference in the grand scheme of things.
Being super strong would mean you’d likely end up doing a lot of physical activity for yourself and others, but it would also mean that your resting metabolism is significantly higher than baseline which handily takes care of the fat/weight problem.
Being taller would be fine I guess but, and I say this as a woman in the bottom 25% in height, it wouldn’t actually make any substantial difference in life, beyond being able to touch the floor in a standard chair.
Having a lot of money takes care of shopping without stopping it, As well as the followers thing (rich people are often famous, and if not they can dump some money into something to make them famous if they want) and I feel being happy over-rides forgetting your ex, cuz you wouldn’t feel bad about it.
- Comment on So which one? 3 days ago:
Some days, to avoid disturbing my sleeping cats, I sleep sideways across the head of my bed curled around them. Those days I swim in a sea of pillows.
So I guess d?
- Comment on That's it. That's the joke. 5 days ago:
I had my uterus inflated with saline for an ultrasound screening before an ablation. It wasn’t a lot of liquid, but it was an absolute screaming amount of pain, and they said it wouldn’t hurt… I knew it would because I’ve had several iud insertions but they refused when I requested something, anything at all, for the pain…
- Comment on There's a spider in my bathroom 5 days ago:
I have one of those who knows her place. She’s been there for probably a year now, and I don’t feed her so she must be doing something for me.
She briefly had a friend of the same species set up shop on the other side of the shower. That one didn’t get the memo and decided to wander all over the place while I was showering, breaking the pact. That one went down the drain. The other is still there, months after that event.
- Comment on Grieve with me 1 week ago:
I have these for all my chargeable things. Bought like 4 packs with multiple port types, so I have tons of extra cables in case some die. They are great for game controllers, phones, tablets, rechargeable keyboards, and all sorts of other shit. All you need is multiple ends, and you can use the same cables for everything. It’s glorious if you have a mix of port types.
- Comment on Anon is behind enemy lines 1 week ago:
I think that was a list of three things: neets, people who take a long time, and people living with their parents.
Because being in uni also disqualifies NEET status (Not in Education, Employment, or Training, so unemployed and not trying to gain skills to get employed)

Bring two foam weapons with you, give one to opponent, have blast.

I have no idea, I have prosopagnosia (face blindness) so I don’t bother trying to sort out who is in a given photo. Either way if this pic isn’t from around the 80s, super dated style :)
That’s why I go for basic cuts, solid colors, and timeless patterns. Like this dude (cage or otherwise) I refuse to update my wardrobe to keep up with fleeting fashion. I haven’t grown in 20+ years, why do I need new clothes?Unlike this dude I found a way to make that work without being a sore thumb (even when my hair was pink and purple and people could see me from half a mile away, I felt more comfortable than I’d feel in those clothes)
Unfortunately leapord print and patent leather don’t qualify as timeless. They are very dated. Fashion is cyclical, and we haven’t come back to patent leather or leopard print in a solid while (tho with all the leopards eating faces recently I feel like this is the time to bring back leopard print, if ever!) Especially the shiny pants. Even in the 90s those were outdated.
Now I’m imaging him as the sole person (outside of gimp suit users) who wants that wet black look, and paying through the nose to have new pants made… probably all true, too. Now I’m a bit sad.

In the 80s nobody would have blinked.
It’s a fine outfit, but it’s super dated.
- Comment on Nicole Kidman Has Now Worked With 27 Women Directors in 8 Years; She Urges ‘Financial Mentors’ to Invest in Unknown Female Filmmakers and ‘Take a Risk’ 1 week ago:
Three things combined: woman, money, female empowerment. Most of the replies probably don’t even follow this comm, they just have to share their lukewarm thought about a woman encouraging female empowerment, by being negative.
Lemmy has a big problem with incel-like behavior/thought patterns. Has since I joined going on 2 years ago. The wave I was part of managed to drive off the majority of female users in under 6 months. Just like Reddit but without the popular-platform-userbase that allows some of that shit to be drowned out.
There’s a very large subset of users who don’t like women and want them to stfu and go away. And we female types see that in this sort of post, which is why the new exodus had to create or resurrect -any- femme-focused comm.
And if we keep this shit up they will be driven off in 6 mths again.

None of those things apply to me so I’m still hopeful. :)
- Comment on Eat that ramen 3 months ago:
I just hope my 40s suck less. I’m almost stable and my country is probably going to collapse. And then the ecosystem around us will follow suit, yaaaay…
I have some people to jointly buy land with, and a zero waste, zero emission farm plan in place to weather the storm. Maybe. If we can all get our shit together super soon… it won’t be much but it’ll be ours and we’ll defend it fiercely. It’s the American way.
- Comment on MSN doesn't work in IronFox whatsoever 3 months ago:
Whenever I click an MSN link it takes me to the home page list of recent articles or whatever. Doesn’t bring up the article at all.
- Comment on I love my smart TV (From Mastodon) - Repost 4 months ago:
I also recently got a tcl with google, and haven’t hooked it to the internet.
The OS on it isn’t very good (seriously too many menus in too many places), it sets full brightness and then reduces to setpoint when you change inputs, and I haven’t figured out why it boots up my ps4 every time I turn on the tv, but beyond that I’ve been pretty happy with it.
It’s a very decent dumb tv.

- Comment on Anon calls the local bowling alley 4 months ago:
My local bowling alley has a donated pink ball named Virgil. He’s my favorite. 12 lbs which is currently ideal for me, holes are the perfect size and spacing, and he’s almost always available because he’s boring marbled pastel pink, and clearly old.
- Comment on Some people just want to see the world burn 5 months ago:
He had advanced kidney disease when I started spoiling him, which inhibits eating. The healthiest food I could give him at that point was literally anything he’d eat, and there was just something about frozen white meat chicken nuggets from Costco that he just really liked.
He was on a very low phosphorus diet for years, and it was a constant struggle to get him to eat, even though I found a ton of things that were ok for him outside of the Rx diet food (which he refused to eat for every meal). My vet ended up asking me what I was feeding, because he wasn’t supposed to make it more than a year based on his kidney function labs, and he made it another 8, and was pretty healthy for most of it getting all the way up to a chubby 9 lbs at one point (small cat). He passed last July, and my vet was sad to see him go (he was a charming lover boy who adored strangers). It turns out, Rx kidney food for cats isn’t actually optimal because cats are obligate carnivores and need protein, but low protein is recommended for omnivores with kidney disease and that was just assumed to be true for cats as well, and the Rx foods are low phos and low protein, so cats waste away over time.
I don’t eat nuggets (or a lot of meat) normally, myself, and I usually don’t give my cats people food either, but I appreciate the suggestion all the same if I come across that need again :)
- Comment on Some people just want to see the world burn 5 months ago:
I used to do this for my cat. He had advanced kidney disease so whatever I could get him to eat was good. He really really liked chicken nuggets specifically, but was mildly allergic to the breading (would give him breakouts leading to scabby sores) so I’d remove it and give him the inside bits. I’d make nuggets for him at least once a week.

Got my tubes tied when I was 27 (no kids no interest).
So nope, not in the slightest.

I would love the life of a house pet as long as I can play video games instead of sleeping all the time.
We just collectively need to convince our new overlords that it’s enrichment and just let me keep it I already have it, and I’ll be totally friendly and compliant whenever you want, I can pause, it’s cool.
- Comment on master manipulators 5 months ago:
They -can- do that yes. Whether or not they will choose to, however, is anyone’s guess.
- Comment on Do fish ever play tag or hide and seek? 5 months ago:
My fish play with laser pointers, and the fish in the live bearer tank tend to “play chase” (it’s not aggression or mating behavior, because there’s no fin nipping or flashing, and they don’t flare), but idk if that would be a thing in the wild. Probably is.
Play is low-risk skill practice, so it makes sense that ambulatory creatures would do it.

This guy reminds me of the framed poster in my bedroom that I bought on eBay for $10 when I was like 15.
- Comment on Wait, my body's own heat is enough? Always has been. 5 months ago:
I keep my place at 15.5c in winter because it’s super drafty. (I’m getting the siding redone soon, I really hope that helps, but ultimately we have the same climate as Siberia so there’s only so much to be done) even at 15.5, it’s still about $200 USD/mth to heat, but at 18c it more than doubles in cost.
I’m like your wife; made for warmer climates. My ideal temp is around 30c, and I’m cold at 23, but I have heated mattress pads on my bed and couch (much much much cheaper to run than furnace) so it’s not too bad overall. They are a bit pricy up front, but definitely worth the spend.
Perhaps that sort of thing would be a good compromise for you two; a couple heated chair covers or couch cover or something to bring her temp up while keeping the overall temp lower.
- Comment on Bros smooth like saliva 6 months ago:
Idk I find this sort of response pretty fun.
I never said it would be fun for readers ;)
- Comment on Bros smooth like saliva 6 months ago:
Fun fact: the entire digestive system is lined with taste receptors, we just aren’t conscious of the flavors. They are used by the body to help determine healthy balance, and are capable of expelling waste more rapidly if they detect a problem (vomiting/diarrhea).
So in a way, you are constantly tasting your own shit. All the time. Forever.

Sure, but wouldn’t you think those with eyes would logically be pretty sensitive to light, like to find bioluminescent prey and stuff?
