- Comment on My Duolingo sessions finally paying off 3 days ago:
I REALLY hope my guy was in on it and it’s just cringe humor :(
- Comment on How You Doin? 3 days ago:
Same. I don’t give my life story or even a detailed account of my day, but I’ll readily say things like ‘stressed’ or ‘tired’.
- Comment on How You Doin? 3 days ago:
It absolutely isn’t a global thing. Many Europeans get confused when they first encounter it from a brit or american for the first time. My indian friend lived in the US for a year and never got used to it, would still occasionally accidentally answer for real.
Then there’s places where there’s a set, expected answer.
Like Ireland:
Alright?
Alright.
France:
Ça va?
Ça va (bien).
That’s just my experience!
- Comment on Rock Identification 3 days ago:
Astrophysicist, not a geologist here. Maybe if you sent a pic I might recognize it. But it’s kind of unlikely, since afaik crystals from under great pressures, which meteorites don’t tend to undergo like that.
- Comment on Luxury bones? In *this* economy. 5 days ago:
I’m very lucky that my grandma passed a house on to me in her will, skipping her children. Not lucky enough to be able to renovate it to make it livable though, and install a legal heating system, so I continue to live in a 12m^2 and with four flatmates.
- Comment on Anon is Turkish 6 days ago:
People hate Turkish people because they hate immigrants (for no reason), and there’s some Turkish immigrant community in Europe.
- Comment on Sounds logical to me 1 week ago:
Friend of mine (m) and his then gf had a threesome with a woman and both him and his gf realised they were gay during that threesome.
- Comment on I'll never move on from that 1 week ago:
I’ve been wondering what creamer was, since it seems to be a US thing. I thought it was just sweetened cream or something. That sounds sooo weird. I’ll stick with soy milk for my coffee.

Anecdote to confirm what you’re saying: my grandpa had to learn to cook in his 80s when his wife became too disabled to do it. In the beginning, she was giving him instructions the whole time. He’s become decent at it. It’s never too late.
- Comment on Late 1900s 1 week ago:
Since this was true when I was in primary school, it’ll always be seared into my brain. I mean, I realized this when I was learning to count and spell, of course it’s saved as one of the most basic facts of life. Like, 4+4=8, 90s are 10 years ago 70s are 30 years ago etc was stuff learned at the same time, so it’s like it’s saved in a similar way.
- Comment on "Save the Bees, Murder the Wasps" 2 weeks ago:
Too many people believe that keeping honey bees is good for the environment, when in fact it damages biodiversity since they outcompete native pollinators.
- Comment on SMH 2 weeks ago:
I wish I had a wife
- Comment on I don't envy the humans pre-dentistry 2 weeks ago:
Of you’re not the majority ethnicity, not male, not abled, not an accepted sexuality, any time other than the present would’ve sucked much much more than today does.
- Comment on SMH 2 weeks ago:
So far I have never excited anyone this much in my entire life
- Comment on SMH 2 weeks ago:
How’s this?
- Comment on Dunning-Kruger 2 weeks ago:
How do you know someone has a PhD?
When it becomes acutely relevant, they’ll politely let you know, and then you can become annoyed at them about it.
Thinking about it, that exact thing also applies to other ‘how do you know someone is/has/does […]’ as well.
- Comment on Forget politics and enjoy your life 2 weeks ago:
Good for you if you can forget politics and still live your life, for some of us, those things are diametrically opposed.
- Comment on Inching closer to the grave every day 2 weeks ago:
Listening to what their interests are is a good way to connect with much younger (or much older!) people. I’ll happily listen to a kid explain Fortnite to me, or my to grandpa talk about his favourite TV show. I’ll ask them some questions about it and get a conversation going.
- Comment on Inching closer to the grave every day 2 weeks ago:
Primary school age children are horrible at guessing age. One time when I was 16 a group of 6 year olds estimated I was 40. And I don’t look old, a few weeks ago, I got carded buying beer, which is 16+. I’m 27.
- Comment on 卄乇ㄥㄥ ㄚ乇卂卄 2 weeks ago:
I literally finished masturbating and opened Lemmy, and this was the first post I saw. Now how do I get to hell?
- Comment on That was a hell of a bender, hope yours goes well also. 2 weeks ago:
I wake up feeling like shit regardless, might as well have that third beer
- Comment on No title 2 weeks ago:
So glad my country is catholic and my grandma was a big fan of Mary. I’d take a pious looking mum type in a veil over a buff dude in undies being tortured any day.
- Comment on If everyone goes to baseball games by car and everyone gets wasted like Randy Marsh, how do people get home? 3 weeks ago:
Holy shit that’s bad, that’s bring-a-flask territory for me
- Comment on If everyone goes to baseball games by car and everyone gets wasted like Randy Marsh, how do people get home? 3 weeks ago:
I used my own weight and type of beer for reference, but fair enough that that’s not representative!
Still, do they limit it to 2 beers then?
- Comment on If everyone goes to baseball games by car and everyone gets wasted like Randy Marsh, how do people get home? 3 weeks ago:
Idk man but I feel pretty Chad like when I throw up in a train toilet

Are drunk driving laws just not that strict in the US? Iirc you lose about 0.01%BAC per hour. One beer will give you like 0.05%*, which is also the upper limit of blood alcohol where I live. If you have a second beer, that means it’d take like 5 hours until you’re able to drive again. Are baseball games this long?
*to be fair, this’d be lower the heavier you are
- Comment on How fast can the body absorb vitamin B12? 3 weeks ago:
Hello fellow ADHD vegan.
It sounds like you have a doctor. Do what they say. I assumed it was enough to take one every week bc it had 1000% the daily recommended dose but I still became deficient. My doctor worked with me to remedy that.
- Comment on Let's gooooo 3 weeks ago:
That’s so cool lol
- Comment on Let's gooooo 3 weeks ago:
But maybe this’ll grow in more regions, breaking up the bloody monopoly, making coke more ethical
- Comment on Is cops being evil/lazy/incompetent a USA specific thing, or is it the same everywhere in the world? 3 weeks ago:
All cops perpetuate the states monopoly on violence. Their primary purpose is also usually to uphold the interests of capital. I mean, just look at pro Palestine demonstrations in Europe. Depending on who you ask, that’s pretty bad.
That doesn’t mean that everyone becomes a cop for nefarious reasons though.
