i didn’t think i ever used CDRW for music, only CD-R. not sure why

I’m not hyping myself up for it so i won’t get disappointed

I use a buckwheat pillow with a mulberry silk pillow case. I live in Miami and I like a cold pillow, and that’s the coldest combination I could come up with. they also have those blue gel cooling pillows, they’re pretty uncomfortable, but I keep one under my buckwheat pillow, also in a silk pillowcase, so that I can flip my buckwheat pillow and the cool gel can draw the heat off so the other side is always cool for me. and silk pillowcases work a lot better than satin

My most loving relationship is between myself and my parents. I’ve had partners, I have a really close friend that I also sleep with who I would die for, but when I’m having an anxiety attack late at night, closing my eyes and remembering that I have two parents who would still die for me is what helps the most

oh and you’re talking about dry cleaning chemicals. dry cleaning isn’t actually clean, it’s just tumbled in chemicals that aren’t water

I add borax to my laundry because it does that.

nice man. My phone has been in split screen 90% of the time since I think Android 8. Plex or YouTube revanced up top, Lemmy or Reddit on the bottom.

oh you meant instead of getting the news lol. I watch stuff on Plex and scroll Lemmy on the bottom in split screen

tiktok. you get war news faster than any news outlet does, you get unvarnished war and protest news as it’s happening before it’s been filtered by the spin room. I found out about Chiquita banana being held liable for multiple banana farm related murders in Columbia on tiktok well before it popped up on any other news source, stuff like that.

no. I’m probably a communist but authoritarianism can fucking shove it

been mucking around with Far Cry and Space Invaders.

everybody’s feed is an echo chamber. each person has access to something like 1% of the total videos posted, so two feeds will be unrecognizable. all the videos I get are about how to help Palestinian families, or short history documentaries, or a published linguist talking about interesting words, this guy who collects license plates (I don’t care about license plates but his channel is great), this guy who collects stamps and helps people evaluate the sets that they find in grandad’s closet (I don’t give a shit about stamps but the history that he talks about alongside them is great). the Green Brothers, if you’re still into them. plus all the major news outlets are on there, as well as quite a few politicians. woodworkers, clay artists, stonemasons, glass blowers, all showing their art daily

I’ve been blocking anybody who does undeclared advertising for like a year, and they just don’t show me that shit anymore

Turkish has Yanlış kapıyı çalmak, meaning “to knock on the wrong door”.

Applying to a place where your request cannot be fulfilled.

Portuguese has dar murro em ponta de fac, meaning “to punch the tip of a knife”.

• insisting on something that apparently won’t work
• insisting on doing something that always goes wrong
• persist without seeing results

italian has prendere un granchio, lit. meaning, “to catch a crab”.

It indicates a gross mistake, the achievement of a much lower result than hoped for or, more rarely, purchasing something believing it to be of much higher value than it actually is. This expression, among the most common used in Italian to indicate a mistake, has its origins in fishing , particularly sport fishing. If you lower the line into the sea until you reach the seabed and touch the bottom with the hook and the bait, it may happen that a crab bites instead of a fish . As soon as the crustacean is hooked, it immediately begins to struggle violently to free itself from the hook, giving the fisherman the impression that it has instead hooked a large prey. Fishing for a crab with a rod is normally a source of disappointment for the fisherman, since it is a useless prey, which in some cases can even damage the line. The origin of the phrase was born from this disappointment, generated by the expectation of a large fish.

I just went through my list of subreddits and searched Lemmy for similar communities. I would say a good 70% we’re already represented here

rice is only going to absorb water if it’s directly touching the water. if it were good it absorbing humidity, you wouldn’t be able to store it almost indefinitely in burlap as we’ve been doing for centuries.

fuck, are you kidding me. all right I fixed it
