  Twitter was a vapid load of crap before Elmo took it over. I see this as a win if it knocks him down a peg or 44 billion.

  Seriously, older than the internet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Washer estimated "1 minute left", took 13 minutes to finish⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This happens once in a while with my washer as well. My determination is that it starts to spin and is so far out of balance that it has to refill and swirl the clothes around a bit, then drain it to hopefully get a more even balance of mass so that it can properly spin. It’s much worse when there are large items, like a blanket that tend to lump on one side.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tiny pp⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This makes me sad. I installed a loud as fuck exhaust on my car, but it broke sound limits at the track so I had to get a quieter setup. Mostly I’m sad because of my tiny penis tho.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Most of the trick-or-treaters have been skipping my house, and I finally figured out why⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I took my kids out, one is almost 3 and the other is just over a year. So few houses in our neighborhood had ANY appearance of anyone home, let alone participating that it took nearly two hours to get about 15 houses. In a pretty standard suburb. At least two houses that were heavily decorated had nobody home and no bowl out. Two also had colorful lights but when we knocks on the door they looked confused when there were two toddlers yelling at them. One just shut the door in our face and the other sort of stood there for a minute with his mouth agape and finally said “I don’t have anything”. I mentioned to that guy that he MIGHT want to turn his lights off or there would be kids all night, but walking past at the end of our evening, all his lights were on still.

  I left a bowl on my porch and had two small groups of respectful kids each take a couple pieces each (video doorbells have changed the game a little).

  Mine tried a bunch of different pumps but none would fix her medical issue. She tried SO hard and long for naught.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's never too early to train⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My wife tried desperately with both of our kids. There’s no way she could due to malformed glands. Multiple specialists confirmed that we had no choice but to feed formula almost exclusively. To this day she has guilt over something that she had no control over.

  The formula shortage was one of the scariest parts of my entire life. Some babies don’t take well to certain formulas, and we had to switch them up a couple times, which meant lots of infants with upset stomachs. Nobody got any sleep for months until the FDA started allowing foreign formula into the country. Thankfully we are past formula and onto real food. I remember going to multiple stores where they were all out of the formula that my premature son could eat and the feeling of utter desperation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are there so many streaming services?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I worked at a cable company in my youth. This was the obvious response. Everyone seemed to think that if they could just have a-la-carte cable that they’d be happy (and thought that they’d pay less). What most wouldn’t believe is that a LOT of those channels you didn’t care about were either free to the provider, or in the case of things like QVC were actually subsidizing more expensive channels (ESPN being the biggest one).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happened with active users on Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have NO idea about the actual answer. Is it possible that these are from different time-of-day readings?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Posting the shopping cart theory because people had questions in a separate thread⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think OP is probably referring to toddlers/babies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How exactly does one eat 1500 calories a day?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve long said that the best place to loose weight is at the grocery store. You pretty much only ever go to the outside edge. Buy potatoes, onions, peppers, mushrooms, squash and zucchini, radishes, carrots and any other vegetables you like. Bulk is what works here. Then go buy what protein you can afford. Skip anything that has been processed beyond meat and milk.

  The classic response is that you have to capture lightning first to apply to the rick that you want to do the thinking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's been that kind of week⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Rip your inbox…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's been that kind of week⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is like those horrible choice “would you rather” questions. Eat the hot dog, or drink the alcohol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you ever seen coal in real life?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There better be. Charcoal is semi-burnt wood. Coal is effectively ‘solid’ oil. Cooking with regular coal would be horrible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I had a roommate in college whose mom would smoke 2-3 packs a day. She’d light a new one off of the dying ember of the last one. Chain smoker.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Social acceptability⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I’m going to say that calves can be sexy (high heels are generally meant to accentuate them) and I find them more socially acceptable fetish wise than knees.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The only thing keeping us Millennials going at this point⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Time capsules with less than 100 years are the dumbest thing.

  When the same people who sealed it up are around to see it opened, it’s not a “time capsule” anymore than a couple of boxes at the bottom of the pile in my parent’s garage.

  Which side of government would care? The coproratocracy or the facists?

  I’ve had a line across my hall since early 2020 like some college apartment…😣

  I wish I could get a NEW 90s era Honda cheaply.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think that there may be random internet posts from today that in the future may be seen on the same level as Plato or other great philosophers?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Hit the lawyer, facebook up and delete the gym. Or something like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hallelujah! Faith Series ‘The Chosen’ Granted SAG Waiver To Continue Filming & Becomes First Known Series To Get Exemption During Strike⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This actually seems to be an OK thing in my book. They files the paperwork and got an exemption from the guilds. There are real reasons to have nuanced discussions as a part of a broader strike. Note that I personally suffer from these strikes, but support them nonetheless.
