I used to be that guy. Then I realized asking eachother questions is just part of the human experience. I know we can both google it, but maybe you just wanted to talk to me instead of a computer. Maybe ill ask you something I already know or could easily google so you can feel smart and helpful answering my question. Life is nicer when you have positive interactions with people instead of searching for every minute way you could belittle them

News@lemmy.world•Trump says he'll fire generals "on the spot" if he dislikes them
5·4 months agoIt’s a double entendre. Alleged is the censored word but its purposely censored in a way to make it read “aged” if you ignore the censored letters
Foreplay / longtime by Boston. The intro is the coolest thing little kid me ever heard and I will never forgive Boston for the lame meandering bullshit that is the rest of that song
Kinda. The bald jd vance meme format should be having a field day with this image and my greatest regret right now is that I dont have the digital photo manipulation skills to make that a reality

Avocado toast is one of the many things disingenuous conservative media has used to blame millennials for the economic situation we grew up in. “They wouldn’t be in such poor financial situation if they stopped paying $15 for avocado toast at brunch every day”
That being said… avocado toast rocks and that is an opinion shared by all of my friends of my age lol. Personally I like mine with a fried egg and hot sauce

News@lemmy.world•No, Chicago salt trucks are not being used to interfere with ICE

News@lemmy.world•No, Chicago salt trucks are not being used to interfere with ICE
12·5 months agoContext for people from warmer climates who may not know what a salt truck is/does:
In colder climates where the roads freeze in the winter, cities de-ice the roads. This is sometimes done by spreading salt from big trucks all over the roads to melt the ice. You could refer to a salt truck as a de-icing truck or an ice melting truck and you’d be largely correct
You count up in incremental numbers until you reach 5280 and then finally increment from 0 to 1 miles. That’s base 5280. Just because we didnt invent more symbols to easily represent that does not mean its not a different numeric base.
Did you read the words I wrote? It looks like youre responding to a “imperial units are better than metric” strawman which you may notice I didnt say or even allude to
This comment brought to you by a complete and fundamental misunderstanding of what it means to use a different base numeral
Imagine being so close minded and bad at math that you can only think in base 10 and feel the constant need to degrade people who are good at math in different bases
I grew up near a Thai Buddhist temple in the panhandle of Florida, and it was about the same. They did a charity cookout type thing every weekend, which was open to the public and they did a bunch of cultural and religious ceremonies right next to or right there in the little marketplace they set up for the cookout. It was a great way to kill a few hours on a sunday; $5 or $6 for a plate of pad thai and a skewer of thai bbq pork, see some cool ceremonies, sometimes end up talking with somebody from the temple for a bit. Absolutely blew my mind that a religious gathering could be so actively enjoyable after I grew up going to mass

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•I've got a road trip planned. It'll be about 2800 mi, 4500 km. I think I'm prepared but sure I'm overlooking things. I'd love to hear your tips and recommendations; your holy grails!
6·5 months agoIt’s hard while traveling, but eating even remotely healthy will make your experience a lot better. One of those fruit and veggie trays you can get from grocery stores plus like a loaf of bread and a thing of hummus can make a great dinner on the road for a family, I try to do something like that at least twice a week when im traveling. Panda express is a surprisingly decent place to get fairly plain rice chicken and broccoli, which is great for both nervous stomachs and people trying to maintain any kind of fitness on the road. Last I’d say careful not to give yourself kidney stones with energy drinks if youre doing a lot of long haul drives between stops

World News@lemmy.world•Ukraine Pursues a Weapons Buildup More Potent Than Any Security GuaranteeEnglish
171·5 months agoThey should be. Russia would have never set a toe in Ukraine if they kept the nukes, and the fuckery of Russia invading and the ‘civilized world’ sitting around with thumbs up their asses since 2014 seems like proof that having nuclear weapons is a prerequisite to maintaining sovereignty

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What strategy would you use to estimate the number of hazelnuts
5·5 months agoVibes. I look at it and try to guess and submit a number within 5 or 10 seconds. It may not be as accurate but I feel like I get more benefit training my ability to estimate at a glance than I do training my ability to do math and spatial reasoning assisted by math. Im already really good at math and math assisted spatial reasoning
Looks like a meal where the burgers wish the potatoes were fries and the potatoes wish the burgers were chicken sandwiches. Regardless, still looks tasty!

Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•I actually kinda like when curse words are censoredEnglish
42·6 months agoI agree. It’s always struck me as odd that such a mass of mouthbreathers on this platform congeals every time somebody posts a slightly obscured version of the word “fuck” or whatever else. Like, youre literally attacking the method people use to nullify censorship. You’ve been presented with malicious compliance to censorship and decided that for some inane reason you need to attack that. Do you really think even a single person reading it is confused about what f
uck means? Do you think youre harming the cause of censorship by attacking people who have found ways to say what they want to say on other platforms in spite of the lazy corporate attempts at censorship that are confused as to what fuck means?




Emasculated goes a bit far but I kinda get it. It doesnt bother me if a sexual encounter starts with a toy, but “let me grab my vibrator so I can finish” is a night that ends with me feeling like I’m not good enough and probably going to bed feeling bad about myself. It’s something thats turned a few dates into one night stands for me when I told them how it made me feel and they were dismissive of my feelings
