I watched my father go this way and I shan’t let it happen to me! I’ve bought a motorcycle like a normal fat, middle-aged man.

Bah, that’s nothing compared to “driving along and then waiting ages behind a parked car to let an oncoming car through, then they don’t wave to thank you”.

Hot.

Absolutely agree with you, it’s about finding that value curve, where quality scales well with price. Say the cheapest ‘something’ is $10, the $20 one is twice as good, the $40 is maybe 70% better again but the $80 might only be 10% better than that.

As a beginner, I’d go for maybe the $20 option or the $40 if I were confident I’d stick with it. But yeah, it’s a pain when your ability to enjoy or succeed at a hobby is hampered by buying the cheapest option off AliExpress, haha.

My favourite alt text on Lemmy

These orbs won’t ponder themselves and there’s nothing sadder than an un-pondered orb

SUPEEER MEAT BOOOOY!

The alt text is the real winner here. “It is a whimsical rainbow tampon she is extracting from herself.” Is one of the finest combinations of words I’ve ever witnessed.

1. Wait at bus stop for 20 minutes
2. Light cigarette
3. Bus will immediately appear

Well, well, well, if it isn’t fat, Armenian Corey “Spazkid” Delaminguez….

“Hey Corey, Sonic the hedgehog here!”

Yeah, but when they DO have their own shit going on, they know they can share it with you to halve their own sorrow. It’s a two-way street, amigo :)

Ah yes, chemical X, the perfect combination of lead, Teflon and microplastics 💪

Exactly, this’ll limit the exposure to them in things you wouldn’t expect them to be on/in. You can avoid Teflon pans and go iron or steel but the amount of stuff coated in PFAS is ridiculous. Hell, even sofas, rugs, blinds, etc all sorts of stuff. And before anyone says “you don’t eat that stuff”, try telling my toddlers that! I bought a black milk frothing jug for my espresso machine. The black coating? Teflon. Not mentioned anywhere, not even marketed as non-stick.

Same, recently got my 20 year Steam badge. I can feel my body aging around me.

I’ll have you know that I wrote a semi-functional webpage in HTML when I was in college 😎

Personally, I always loved the classic, side-on Mario games and thought the new features of this looked fun, but the best feature was the fact Nabbit and Yoshi don’t take damage. My 4 year old is autistic and wants to play video games with me but struggles. This allowed us to get through the levels together and he was so happy ^_ btw, they still die from falling, it still took a LOT of lives, haha.

I don’t know how many others bought it to play with their younger kids but it worked for me!

I recommend the app “Just Watch”. Pump in whatever you wanna watch and it’ll tell you what services it’s available to stream on. If none, hoist the flag, amigo!

To save some people a click, growth hormone apparently used to be extracted from the brains of human cadavers in the UK and some children treated with this later developed Alzheimer’s, some of them as early as their 30’s.

Worth reading the whole article, very interesting!

Part of me wonders; was this their plan all along? Everyone knows that people are having fewer kids and there’s a real problem that the old will outnumber the young and we won’t be able to support the elderly population. So, is the GOP’s plan to just force people to have kids against their will as a way to mitigate that?

I consider my body to be a meat puppet. Maybe I’m one of those lil MIB dudes
