So… Are the memes all going to be -eans based? Do I need to start collecting some pictures of various deans for the next wave?

For me it would be a new external hard drive for all my data hoarding

The premade soylents are pretty good, and I regularly have them with a protein bar as my lunch. They’re pretty expensive in my opinion, so I try and look for them on sale, but the ease of not having to prep lunch is often worth it. I try and keep it under $2 a bottle for the 14oz ones, which still feels expensive to me, but some of the lunches I prep are around that cost, and it’s way cheaper than going out to eat (I keep a spare one at work in case I ever forget to bring lunch)

Come comment on sports stuff! We don’t have enough of that, the threads are pretty empty

See… I have seen this a number of times, but honestly, I don’t think space is the biggest issue in a plane, I always assumed it was weight. So if you pack in more people they’re going to be heavy + their luggage so it’s not going to save the airline that much money, but people would HATE this, so I don’t see it happening yet.

Ah, see I assume some sort of anime rules apply to the power and the larger the vessel the more it would sap my energy.

I guess I would still need to worry about being kidnapped by nestle and being hooked up to a feeding tube and gives to use my powers anyway…

Free refill man. Just point my finger and any beverage is refilled.

Everytime I see this Picture, I really think of it as a wonderful form of modern art.

FYI, this is from a parody account that makes up facts/quotes. Still funny, but in a “The Onion” way

Honestly started using Mastodon right at the start of the Twitter announcements, although I had never used Twitter. I was getting worried about where most things online were trended and tended to use reddit for a bug chunk of my online browsing. I wasn’t really expecting reddit to implode so quickly after Twitter, but as I was already using mastodon another federated platform seemed good to join

I’ve been trying specifically to comment on posts in areas where I want more content with something related to the post. There hasn’t necessarily been more NBA discussions, but I usually get a response from the poster, which is how you start the snowballs rolling I think

It amazing to me that I feel like the entire general public knew this was the case. Like… we’re not doctors or anything but it’s clear when something isn’t working. Great way to continue to sap confidence in the US medical system/regulations for it

Well, the cube rule of food says anything without a starch/bread is a salad, if you want an absurd authority to point to: https://cuberule.com/

As a not-that-tech savy person who is looking at getting back to using Linux (it’s been 5 or so years since I was running Ubuntu, I dual booted for awhile but WFH generally has made me Windows only) this sounds like a distro I would enjoy

Yeah. It just feels like we need about 50% more users to help populate things a bit more here. Mastodon feels much more active/full to me, probably because it has a year or so already, and Xitter has done some many things to help drive people to alternatives.

I’m pretty happy with Lemmy as it is, but would certainly welcome another influx of people

Inflation hitting everywhere

Comcast is always terrible for me. (Recent got a fiber company into our neighborhood and couldn’t drop them fast enough) Waiting for like 45 minutes, getting somebody who can’t do anything, often having the call dropped. It’s not technically the fault of the employees, although they chose to work as such a terrible company, but they’re just given like 1% of an ability to do anything to help anyone.

I mean, it’s the low hanging fruit content. It gets done engagement, some amount of almost nostalgia, but doesn’t require much work to post. It’s not the end of the world, it just comes in larger volumes and takes up quite a bit of “all”. Honestly blocking some of those communities would probably work well to clean up your all feed if you wanted.

There a few things that we just haven’t crossed the threshold for yet that I found engaging (if not “addictive”) at Reddit, several of which were live threads about an event (NFL/NBA/Soccer/F1/etc). We’re not big enough here for that yet, where Mastodon is (you can get awesome interaction on hashtags about topics while they’re happening). The other thing was when a post got popular you could scroll through hundreds of comments with at least some thought behind them, and here it’s more like 10-25. The content is often better here, there is just less of it. Which is fine for me, it’s just a slightly different experience than I was having at Reddit, but I think some of those things will come with time.

Looks like a serving suggestion
