@ecoboy if you're into some educational vids on semi-serious but delivered in a humorous way,
ClimateTown is right there (https://youtube.com/@ClimateTown)
Sort of in the same vein is NotJustBikes, who has really great insight on subpar American infrastructure compared to other developed countries.

@ericbomb had roommates in college to whom mopping was just rearranging dirt on the floor.
Step 1. Get the mop wet in the bucket
Step 2. Mop the entire first floor
Step 3. Move to the next floor
No rinsing, no emptying/refilling the bucket (because hey, it never got dirty!). All grime just got wiped up, and moved around to the kitchen, living room, entryway, hallways etc. God forbid we had a party and beer got spilled in the basement. I'd be smelling it upstairs by the bedroom for weeks.
@spittingimage interesting! I find that 'snick' sound actually satisfying lol
@i_have_no_enemies I wasn't very popular at the dinner party where I suggested this, but my hunch: removing People from positions of authority, where we repeatedly see aspects of greed/corruption/nepotism furthering systems that benefit that person in power at the cost of the masses, may be key. Its apparent that it is nigh impossible to put a human in charge where they will always choose to benefit the masses over themselves.
@pexavc A manager at my workplace reprimanded an employee for making decisions outside of their role/overstepping boundaries, during which the manager threw in the "because I'm your manager and you
need to respect my authority".
To me, this immediately makes the person in charge not worthy of respect - if a misstep occurred, there should be an explanation as to why it was a problem, how to improve and handle similar cases in the future. Demanding respect just proves you don't deserve it.
@Thorny_Thicket @qooqie
I could be wrong but this sounds surprisingly like the "I don't actually need it, I can quit at any time, I just don't want to" trope.
Just put of curiosity if you switched to decaff for a month or something would you notice or feel any difference?
I'm not a coffee drinker so I don't really know what it's like. (I'll do tea every now and again but nothing daily or multiple times a day)
@UsernameLost @ericbomb glad you were able to push past the doubts and treat yourself. Hopefully all the cool projects that come out of it will prove it's worth even more for you :) (and don't chop your finger off pls)
@Sterile_Technique @PunnyName in some dystopian future where cilantro has gone extinct, stinkbugs get crushed up and dyed green as fake cilantro powder, much like horseradish pretends to be wasabi...... What a dark place that must be
@ericbomb they didn't 🙃🥲
Honors college students, too. I have a few stories like this from my time living with them that still bring a 🙃🥲 to my face lol
@foggenbooty @Toto be brave! And honest ... Everyone who picks their nose raise your hand
🙋♀️
@wesker @Lemmylefty I find this happening in phone call convos w friends at times. They'll tell me things that are going on in their lives that may not be 'ooh interesting' but that I enjoy hearing about/reflecting upon with them. But I don't always have feedback or insights or questions to ask etc, so as I'm thinking of something to say, the Convo veers off to some other topic, maybe with the impression given that I'm not interested, which is definitely not the intention
@Moobythegoldensock @ericbomb that's amazing!!! I hope you keep it up :) starting a new habit like that and keeping it consistent ain't easy - glad you're nailing it so far.
@kratoz29 @skulblaka I hate to be that guy but your double negative threw me for a loop.
I think "I hardly agree" fits better here?
@NineMileTower @SendMePhotos I learned of the fairly hard to find apple cinnamon variety of Cheerios. Total game changer
@Zathras @Lemmylefty I do this too! I find myself interrupting people to finish their sentences at times, or assume I know what they're going to say and think/spit out a response to move the Convo along. After doing some internet research, I'm starting to wonder if it may be a symptom of undiagnosed ADHD or something 🤷 might be worth taking a look into and asking a professional
@Albbi @IronRain found out about Wheel of Time from Tumblr of all places. Started the audiobook series as something to accompany me on long drives or workouts but they keep being checked out at my library app lol. Was interesting to me that you could tell it was written a few decades ago - some of the writing seems a bit dated even though altogether it's a very well-structured series.
Also absolutely loved Red Rising, didn't realize there was a new addition!
@wipeitonthedog @ada any recommendations for waterproof ones? Love swimming as a form of exercise but would love some music to go along with it.
@Cannibal_MoshpitV3 @consciouslyoblivious Honestly, super impressive that you stick with it and kicked the habit. Nice fucking job! Couldn't have been easy :)
Had a dad who could not quit and I grew up around second hand smoke and hating the smell despite begging him to quit for years.
@Redditgee Hah, I figured as much, but wasn't gonna rule out the ole ear-lego or nose-bean. Gotta wonder what the ratio of accidentally-stuck-stuff in kids:adults is 🤔 and if there's a correlation. Maybe one grows up into the other?
@FlyingSquid @walnutwalrus I think my tech time period is way off, but this reminded me of a vid I stumbled across with Wendy Carlos talking about their synthesized orchestra instruments. Would be interesting to hear what pre-40s sound tech could produce with the influence of today's music tastes, styles, techniques etc.
@eyy @MisterHavoc as someone who might be mistaken as being active, I loathe running and wish I didn't. Every other exercise (most of which I love) is just less convenient. Biking, swimming, hiking, sports - all require extra steps (equipment or environment or other people). If I liked running even a little more it would be so practical to just throw on shoes and go whenever.
But the moment my legs are pumping and my lungs are aching there's nothing to distract me from feeling like I'm DYING.
@Geek_King @MisterHavoc ironically, I feel like I form half my personality on being one of the few people who Don't drink coffee.
Own it! 😜 We're better than them! We don't need any weird brown bean water to become functioning human beings, much less be elitists about it. Psshht losers /s.
Jk y'all bean juice lovers are an alright bunch, I guess...
Enjoy what you enjoy, and enjoy that you enjoy it. Doesn't matter what other people like
@Infernal_pizza !?! What about red food coloring? Is it made from bugs too???
@Sterile_Technique more protein! 😎😏
@Phogger Hah I find that kinda funny - that there's a precise chunky to saucy ratio that must be achieved for not-too-tomato-ish sauce 🍅 😋
My mom used to slice up tomatoes and do the sugar sprinkle as a quick summertime snack. Pretty refreshing and, at least to me, changes the flavor profile of the tomatoes. Maybe you'll like it 🤷
@room_raccoon @MisterHavoc @Geek_King caffeine or no, to me tea is meant to be drunk like, in the evening curled up on a couch reading a book. There's just something very soul-warming about tea:)
@Withers_Larue @ericbomb if it was your first ever you definitely deserved it. Here's hoping you had a bubble bath, hot soup, and a fun movie all at the same time.
@WetAndFlummoxed @TootSweet drives me nuts at self serve places when you take a glass, put it under the water dispenser, then see bubbles still floating around after the cup is full. Tap water bubbles last like less than half a second. If I see what I think could be soap bubbles, I dump, rinse, repeat til no more bubbles.
@RanchOnPancakes lol what a great visual 😅
@spittingimage oof just reading that sentence sent a chill down my neck lol tin foil bite no bueno
@Tar_alcaran @thrawn21 fucking yikes. Was the public notified in any way? Did it make it to the news? Or just kind of brushed under the rug?
@Redditgee @Sir_Kevin is...... Is this usually kids or adults? 👀
@trashgirlfriend

Wait but how did you do the > without the quote?
> Add a space?
Hmmmm
@DreamerOfImprobableDreams @zephyr yeeeesssss! Jeez just looking at the thumbnail makes the song start going on repeat in my brain. Thanks for occupying the rest of my afternoon loll
@fubo @WalkableProgrammer brilliant
@blazera @TheGiantKorean my brain is going 😬 but my mouth is going 🤔. I'll have to try this!
@OsakaWilson @Ace_of_spades I think this is probably the way to go. If you inquire directly, they can easily find out who is calling and what your relationship to that area is. If a bunch of random internet snoopers start raising red flags, there might not be a whole lot that they can do against general public inquiry. (They being the people who own the land, and the organized crime, including, it sounds like, the local police and politicians as well)
