"It's something you've never heard of"

"How do you know?"

"...because I'm never going to tell you about it"

Trying to push mlm schemes like essential oils

I would like to award your comment with one lemmy gold🏅

All this talk of zuck fighting just reminds me of that South Park episode.

You think you can block me?

Smart move. Wouldn't want to intimidate anyone with your superior taste in music

Goofy, random flash videos. AlbinoBlacksheep was like the internet in its prime

Man, I'd love to peel out in that sweet set of wheels

It legit looks like half of the weed dispensaries in my city. Who tf would actually do that to their home tho

Ability to transform into a dog that shoots bees when it barks

An easier way to link communities. It was so simple on reddit just typing r/sub but here it's more complicated

Miniclip, Albino Blacksheep, and Yahoo! Games were basically all I did on the internet in elementary to middle school. I was a savage at yahoo pool/billiards

A higher-quality tool. Buy the cheapest-made one and it'll break shortly, buy the medium one and you'll be set for a while, buy the best one and you'll really be set.

Despite this I still buy the occasional dollar-store tool because it's nice to have extras around just in case them come in handy.

Upgraded bicycle lanes are so nice. In my city they made them green

Crikey! I hope things get better for this little bugger. Every creature deserves to live in a healthy habit.

Thankfully, yes

Bill Hader doing what he does best: play really awkward characters and steal the show

The game I've played most that I don't recommend would have to be Ark. You really need to like a certain type of survival challenge to enjoy it, and even I didn't have much fun myself.

Playing in the yard outside our apartment: little 3 y.o. me was throwing rocks at a giant wasp hive. Coincidentally, my first memory is also the first time I almost got myself killed. Getting stung is how we found out I'm seriously allergic and now I carry an epipen.

It's 7:30pm in a city with several 24-hour stores. I'd go on a shopping spree and spend 90% on things for myself and family, then visit as many restaurants + bars as possible while tipping thousands of dollars until the million is all gone.

Building new habits or replacing old ones has to start small, so small actually that the book I read about this a few years ago is titled Atomic Habits. What it breaks down to is that changes in our daily lives don't happen instantaneously; they take time, effort, and repetition.

For example, if you were to set a goal of getting more fit you wouldn't accomplish that in one day. What you can accomplish though, is to go out and walk a mile today. Then the next day walk another mile. And the next another mile. After a week or two of this, you might try something more intense like longer distances, jogging, or maybe even riding a bicycle. But you didn't get there in one day: you worked at it a little bit each day until it naturally became part of your habits.

"Is it really me she loves? Or is she just using me to get to my spidey-scents body wash?"

I think it helps that the community vibe is completely different here. On some reddit subs your posts would get automatically removed for the most arbitrary reasons, and that really discouraged people from participating. Here I haven't encountered anything like that yet and most of the people that do participate have been super cool too.

I don't have my own spooky story, I just wanna say if you enjoy them as much as I do you should check out Mr. Ballen on YouTube. His older videos are the best but he still puts out a new one every week.

Reddit is pretty much at the point where you can open any thread on the front page and the comments will be indistinguishable from a Facebook comment section.

My first recommendation would be to get a classic crockpot. The easiest way to cook is setting one of those up with the ingredients + spices for your recipe and letting it stew until done.

I normally use mine for meats but you can also throw in vegetables, broth or beans to make recipes like pea soup, lentil soups, beef stew, etc.

It's an older meme that seems to have made a revival recently, but tbh I'm tired of seeing them already

mfw the witch turned me into a rock from Easter Island and then later turned me into some choccy milk

I've never really been able to use eye drops and when I've tried my eyes would reflexively close. I don't get how people can handle putting contacts in regularly

When I first found reddit (around 2012) it had a good amount of picture and video posts, but people often made text posts. I recall it being completely full of not just regular media, but psycho shit too: goatse, broken jar in the butt guy, posts on r/drugs about people ingesting whatever they could get their hands on, etc. I think it was really the first website I encountered where you could find forums for anything; you could go from browsing r/WTF one minute to r/aww the next and forget about all the crazy shit you just witnessed.

Anyone else's home feed only loading Local > Active ?

I can't get it to load any other new/hot or subscribed/all posts unless I go to a community page and browse one community at a time.

I probably did at some point but the name doesn't stick out to me

Art supplies, nothing else compares to the feeling of freedom I get when crafting something and having tons of options for things to work with. I'm actually thinking of buying a cheap laser engraver next so I can turn digital art into all sorts of stuff.

I only ever go there to check the front page/news now. Lemmy is growing fast, but being decentralized, at the moment it's still easier to catch up on politics and world news using reddit.

Lately clothes and shoes. But I do love a nice gadget or tool

I propose we fuse them both into a new name: Lembin

Yup

Sure, but it only gets harder the longer it goes on. At 3 days it's worth it to expel that turd-child

There's actually a community called "New Communities" that shares them all the time. I'd drop a link but I'm still confused about how exactly to link communities
