This is what the official Reddit app looks like, by the way
I just realized I'm taking my ad-free experience in Lemmy for granted. It's refreshing to have a little corner of the internet that doesn't slam you with advertising.

If you have reddit coins that are about to go to waste... I would search for a "fuck u/spez" post and award it as much as you can
I can't imagine having paid money for reddit bux.

And the invation of bots has commenced. How donwe best deal with users like this?
Is there an option to report accounts / comments? Are bots even forbidden? I'm with you, Reddit was a bot shit show and I'd love to see a space with zero bots. I think even the utility bots like unit conversion added very little value.

What is a hobby you enjoy, but seems too quirky or obscure to bring up in most conversations?
Not too quirky or obscure but I really just like to fix shit. Clocks, washing machines, cars, crooked door, hole in a sweater, electronics... Nothing is outside of my interest.
On the more obscure side I like to fiddle with wrist watches by adding aftermarket parts and modifying their overall look.

Well it had a lock icon. You can't just make those up!

There it goes, at least for me. Never forget - The Narwhal Bacons at Midnight
Reddit was an awesome site when that god-awful phase was popular.

Kellogg’s is going to war over Mexico’s nutrition label rules. A similar fight is coming to the U.S.
I saw this while in Mexico and really liked the idea. I was then immediately bummed out when realizing almost everything had that label on it and buying food without excess sugar and salt was a lot trickier.

I feel like I've run away from the city to join an happy little hippy commune in the back country. We all wear white and worship to a mouse now, but it's fun!

Who else has a "Spidey sense" for timing things
I have the opposite of Spidey sense and will frequently forget I'm cooking something if I don't set a timer.

Can we stop buying these stupid things? Thanks
My dad recently bought an F-350. He works in an office and lives in the suburbs. Why he willing chose to get 14mpg with post COVID gas prices is beyond me...

Workation - nice or stupid?
I did it for about a month and and loved it. We got an Airbnb in Arizona. We woke up early, clocked out early, and went hiking nearly every day. The weekends we did a trip to the Grand Canyon and Sedona, both great experiences. If you can make it work, then try it out. I know tons of people that maintain jobs while travelling almost full time.

TIL in New York you can apply to have a fire hydrant opened during hot weather
That's pretty cool to know. I remember the rare occasion when a fire hydrant was open, it became a neighborhood event on par with a holiday. Good times!

What's the best advice you've learned though your time on Earth (as opposed to the moon)?
A friend had this mantra of "You do you." that I've really embraced. Stop giving a shit about the things you don't agree with or views other people are into. I'm not looking to change minds, just being personally receptive and open is enough for me.

"... and for some reason, we're still friends." What's your story?
I was new to a school and decided to skip class with a bunch of classmates I barely knew. One guy goes to the bathroom and comes back and stands right behind me. I look up and he is completely naked except for a sock on his dick hovering right above my head.
We've been great friends for close to 18 years and I just got to meet his two kids.

Unfortunately, it looks like the wave of bots is inevitable. I think I'll just end up sticking to the niche communities and yelling get off my lawn.

US plans to supply Ukraine with cluster munitions, officials say
Reply in thread
It's the next generation of future amputees and casualties that'll bear the weight of these unexploded cluster munitions.

Those of you who shower barehanded: Do you lather and then use your hand, or just shove the soap wherever it needs to go?
Look up the green "Asian body scrub" cloths. They're next level wash cloths that exfoliate, dry fast, and are washable. Bonus, they're super cheap. I swear by them and can't ever go back to other scrubbers.

Painted nails have the same vibe and uglyness as painted teeth.
Weird take but definitely gonna be unpopular, haha. Does that apply to tooth whitening?

What are some reddit communities you wish to see live and more active on lemmy?
Yes, I absolutely loved listentothis. I think it was sort of losing user interaction towards the end but it was so great to comb through previous years to find great music.
We should definitely get another one up and running!
I'll really miss the location specific subreddits, those were super useful when travelling to find stuff only local redditors knew about. It helped get you off the beaten path.
