Lemming is the correct answer, but I’ll also accept Lemmin’ mostly because I’d love for there to be some kind of meet-up, like a Lemmin’ Party or something.

I wouldn’t have thought it would be so quiet, what with the coffins.

Fellas, does women having normal biological functions make you feel homosexual?

My credit card offers virtual credit card numbers AND the ability to auto-lock the virtual numbers so you can set a date and after that the number will not accept new charges.

I make sure to use a virtual card number for everything subscription based, then I immediately set the auto-lock feature to expire in a few days (give the initial charge time to clear but still plenty of time before the subscription would otherwise renew).

Some subscription services make it super tough to cancel. This method fixes that issue for the most part. Some subscription services terminate immediately once you cancel the subscription, even if you still have “time left” otherwise. This way you don’t really have to formally unsubscribe. It’s easy peasy pumpkin breezy as the common folk like to say.

When someone asks a thing like this on Lemmy, look up the same thread on Reddit (guaranteed to find it was recently also posted there) and copy-pasta some of the top posts. Guaranteed worthless internet up arrows.

No. And he’s not just mad at cat ladies.

This whole idea that people with biological children are more invested in the future of the country than those without kids is just a thinly disguised dog whistle that’s firmly rooted in misogyny and homophobia.

This is a line that theoretically doesn’t precisely and specifically just target homosexuals, there’s also “collateral damage” to infertile couples and those who choose to go child-free. And there’s a sufficient number of those people that it serves as the basis for plausible deniability. That they specifically call out “cat ladies” fully reflects the misogynistic aspects of it. But make no mistake, this is undeniably a basis they might use to deny rights to the LGBT+ community.

I’m into this. And the corollary. “Shit out” is redundant. Shit it out. Shitting out.

(Shitting in?) Makes sense in one context, but that’s a completely different context than that which shitting out is typically used.

I don’t think this opinion is really all that unpopular, but I get that this sub is often used to air grievances and somewhat popular opinions, so I won’t judge too harshly.

Pretty impressive modlog rap sheet you got there OP! I had my last account for over a year and I don’t think I got banned or had a comment removed once, so seeing an account with dozens of entries is eye opening to say the least. This account is new enough that I’ve managed to stay off the modlogs so far with it as far as I’m aware. Maybe I should go into a random sub and say something racist and/or toxic! Are there any dog specific communities where I can request dog meat recipes?

I’ve never thought to try this, granted I rarely ever drink soda.

It’s interesting to see multiple folks saying that Coca-cola and Pepsi taste the same. In my part of the world, there is (or was) a noticeable difference between the 2. I could easily discern the difference between them even in a blind taste test. “Coke” is noticeably more bitter and has more complex flavor. Pepsi is sweeter with sweeter flavor tones.

Y tho?

Any relation to Elton? He sings about food sometimes, too.

Oh, if Alton said that then it must be true. Who’s Alton?

Edit: I need to see what dried beans I have and maybe go shopping. I will give this a try with a couple different types of beans and report back if I fart or not.

Hope you have some alpha-galactosidase at your disposal.

The simplified explanation: A reason beans give some people gas is due to certain types of sugars and carbohydrates they contain. Those sugars are water soluble. Seems like brewing beans would concentrate those sugars and lead to epic tootage.

Also, one method for reducing how much gas that beans cause is to soak them in lots of water. Basically, soak them for up to 8 hours, drain, rinse, and repeat a couple more times. It works on the same principal, that the soaking process will remove at least some of the problematic, water soluble sugars. Supposedly adding a small amount of baking soda helps, too. I’m less certain about that.

Sure, they love it. Till they see the bill.

5 layer burritos got me through some tough times eons ago when I was a young adult. I could get a drink and a couple of those burritos for just over $3 - $5 USD (prices rose over the years and different locations charged different prices). And it would be enough to stave off hunger for the rest of the day.

Back in 2022, I was traveling and decided to stop at a Taco Bell for the first time in close to a decade for old times’ sake. That same drink and 2 burrito order now costs over $12. Three of those five layers were spread microscopically thin. The tortilla wrap wasn’t even warmed or steamed, so it was dry and crumbly. They couldn’t even roll it properly. Yuck. It’s not an exaggeration to say that I could have gone to a sit down Mexican place and gotten more, better food plus table service for the same price. So, lesson learned.

Needless to say, I haven’t been back since. With the descent into madness of Taco Bell and Subway, I’m afraid to try my other young adult fast food savior, Wendy’s, in case that’s totally been ruined, too.

Earlier this year one of my relatives came for an extended visit. We were discussing what we might have for dinner that week and both of us were on board for the same ingredients, such as asparagus. My relative was also happy with the video services I’m currently subscribed to because I have a couple options they don’t have at home, so they were telling me about how they were rewatching some older Harrison Ford movies. And then there’s the age-old (or old age) conversations about our current health issues.

In the following days, my relative kept bringing up the fact that their phone and tablet are listening to our conversations. Proof? After we had the food conversation, their news feed was suddenly filled with asparagus recipes. They were also getting ads for more Harrison Ford content on the service that they don’t subscribe to. And to top it off, they were seeing ads for a prescription my dog takes but that they had never even heard of before our conversation the day or two before. Isn’t it obvious? They’re listening to our conversations.

To me this was easily explainable by Occam’s Razor. All our devices are on the same IP address. After we discussed the asparagus I went online that night and did a search for asparagus recipes. And when we were talking about my dog’s health condition, I used my phone to look up the active ingredient because I couldn’t recall off the top of my head. Plus, when Hulu or whatever random service sees you’re watching a lot of Harrison Ford movies, it makes sense they’d advertise others you might like.

That makes a lot more sense and is a lot less complicated of an explanation than “our devices are always recording our conversations and uploading them to the internet as a basis to send us advertisements”.

Sure it’s technically feasible, but if it were happening, surely they would be a lot more incontrovertible proof than a questionable and likely misinterpreted news source that seems to be more of a “sly” advertisement for a tech solution that the big players aren’t actually using.

Everything here is clay. We have like 1/4 inch of rich top soil. Then directly below that, red clay. Sucks in the summer because it bakes and turns to bricks because we’re so hot and dry. Suck in the winter because it cannot hold water, so the yard turns into a pond any time we get more than a sprinkle. Don’t get me started on pH.

Unfortunately the gelatin continues to absorb moisture and expand during its time in your bowels, only to form a tight plug near the end when your body tries to dehydrate things a bit so turds will become shapely. Ends up blocking you up like fine cheese eaten in massive quantities. Ask me how I know and I may cry rather than answer.

You slide that on the figurine’s hand like a glove. It’s supposed to represent what a pot user’s hand looks like to himself after he’s injected a gram of tokes and then looks down at his hands but he’s so wasted by that point that his hands look like giant alien kit kat fingers.
