  Poke a pinhole and squeeze the juice into your mouth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Protip: use frinkiac.com to generate Simpsons memes effortlessly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you do with your time after leaving Reddit?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Most of the reason I liked reddit (and use Lemmy) is because I use it almost exclusively while people are talking. Sound must always be off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Limited edition Great Gatsby⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a Mulligrubs vibe to this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RIP in pieces⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, and I have to practice mental arithmetic because I won’t always have a calculator in my pocket.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rest easy⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure of trolling… or just very stupid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man, 21, charged with murder after 23yo woman's body found near Ballarat⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is just devastating. Clunes is such a small town with cheery folk who probably all know each other.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Push to lower Australia's compulsory voting age to 16 as advocate says youngsters feeling 'disenfranchised'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My 2c, it should be optional at 16; mandatory at 18.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Victoria to roll out tobacco licensing scheme by year's end⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I reckon alcohol, tobacco, gambling and marijuana should all be treated equally by law. Licensing, taxation, criminal sanctions - the same for each.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Carbon emissions limits for cars weakened amid opposition's 'ute tax' campaign⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ugh. Start charging rego by the kilo already. Big vehicles are an inconvenience to absolutely everyone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Waverley Park — Melbourne's car-dependent suburban AFL stadium with a planned seated capacity of over 150,000 (not a typo!)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember watching my dad direct traffic there. It took a full police unit to pull it off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What could be wrong with me?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Look up ADHD and “Auditory Processing Disorder”. I believe there’s a decent overlap between the two.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What could be wrong with me?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m ADHD (inattentive type, so just ADD I guess).

  This all checks out. The audio processing disorder part is particularly frustrating. I can hear everything perfectly, but can’t focus on a person speaking because my brain will give equal attention to every other noise source around me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop pussyfooting that gaspedal!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I saw this meme so long ago that I think it was made using a flatbed scanner and uploaded on dialup.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has google stopped working for finding anything?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s funny how when I jumped to DDG a few years back, I felt like I was sacrificing the quality of results for better privacy.

  These days you get the best of both.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This would be a nice temperature for Easter, not for Christmas Eve.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The Melbourne demographics has changed wildly in the last 15 years. I’d suggest visiting first to make sure it’s still what you’re expecting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This would be a nice temperature for Easter, not for Christmas Eve.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s 16°C in Melbourne at 10:30AM right now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is alcohol measured in percentages?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  1ml of water is 1g.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is alcohol measured in percentages?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Here’s a Starbucks cappuccino marked as 2g of protein per 100ml and 4.4g per serve.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is alcohol measured in percentages?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The best example is the slab ‘o’ Coke from Woolies.

  Sugar is marked as 10.6g/100ml and 39.8g per serve, and 24 serves in the pack.

  Syrups are sold in grams, and maybe that getting 200g of sugar into 100ml of liquid is why.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is alcohol measured in percentages?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Australia does this right. Everything has a percentage.

  Nutritional panels have:

  • Serving size
  • Servings in the pack
  • Energy, sugar, fat salt. etc per 100ml or 100g, and per serving.

  Alcoholic beverages have “standard drinks” per bottle which factors in ABV and volume.

  I can quickly see that a drink has 9g sugar per 100ml and know it’s 9% sugar. Easy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone else feel like 90% of the population is stupid?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think adblocking is the best thing I’ve done for my children.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just a normal day⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re the friendliest ones.

  I have stopped and set fire to three redback nests this week, but there’s a huntsman happily living in my garage right now who isn’t going to harm anyone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨inches plus coins equals metric system⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Granted, but it divides by two multiple times. Take a good, round number like 1024 and you can halve it 10 times in a row.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨inches plus coins equals metric system⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hexadecimal is always best.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whats the difference between cheap and expensive modern TVs?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I ignore the “top 3” brands because they’re full of ads, and practically a wiretap at this point. Surprisingly, the mid-tier brands don’t invest in selling the consumer as a product.

  You may get a decent experience from a top-tier that’s kept offline, and using a media box that you have more control over.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do people understand each other?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I did my first trip to Tokyo a few months ago. A week before leaving I started playing a kana learning game while I was on the train to work. I also played it during the flight over.

  Two things I figured out:

  1. Just learn katakana. Even if you do learn hiragana, it just sounds out the japanase words that you don’t know anyway. Katakana seemed to be used exclusively for English pronunciation.

  2. It’s actually fun. The majority of signs and labels are bilingual and you will see English and Katakana side-by-side. Once I walked into a cafe (in Disneyland) that had no English menu. The whole thing was katakana. I figured out how to order a “ka-fe ra-te” (cafe latte) and a “ko-ka ko-ra” (Coca Cola). I was so pleased with myself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do people understand each other?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you learn the katakana alphabet, most signs and menus in Japan are like this. They’re just English words approximated to sounds in Japanese speech.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We’re walking about placing them alongside knives and forks - both of which are pointier.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Take that to the privacy of your own home.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In Melbourne, 99% of drinks seen in public are barista coffee.

  Fun fact: Adelaide is the only city in the world where iced coffee outsells Coca Cola.
