You know, I used to do this as a teenager, when cleaning my bearings with acetone, and I recall my family needing to get the sink repaired due to leakages getting quite severe at times.

Only through this post have I come to realise, 20 years later, that I was most likely at fault for the issue.
I mean I'm still not going to admit it to anyone, but it's good to know and stuff.

I remember, in university, at the start of a Latin American History class the lecturer walks in with boxes and straight up asks, "SO WHO WANTS TO DO COCAINE?!?"

Then proceeds to take out coca leaf tea bags, offers everyone a cup, and explains how she was intentionally wrong in her statement to highlight a big issue. She explained the Native use of coca leaf, and how they have suffered from people using their sacred herb in concentrated and illicit ways.

She also gave me a box to take home, because I said it helped with my stomach cramps (medical issue), and it really did. No addiction felt either.

With some teachers you can really tell how passionate they are.

How could American politicians be so against pornography, when so many keep getting caught with prostitutes?

Typical. Rules for thee I guess.

Haha the same thing happened to me, at Chicago O'Hare airport.

Before they searched me the man said I had a "suspicious package" in my "groin area". I'll never forget the man's face as he grabbed a handful of dick. Eye contact as well, it was so romantic (probably not for him, but I still had a semi so...)

Toads swallow food with their eyes. When they snag some food into their mouth they close their eyelids, and their eyes go inside and help push food down the throat before coming back up to the front of the head.

Their fault. I remember a time when publishers allowed for people to run their own dedicated servers, for FPS at least. They could have modified that existing model, but instead they took that ability away from the user whilst almost simultaneously making excuses about the problem they created.

If their servers can't run forever, give us dedicated servers on a larger scale FFS!

It's pronounced "Jim".

Once I was volunteering at Pride London, making sure people don't jump the barriers to the parade, and someone begins to approach me.
An absolutely gorgeous woman, I mean it was as if the greatest of all models just happened to walk towards me. She comes in close, my heart racing, places her mouth to my ear and says, "I was born with a dick." AND THEN JUST WALKS OFF!!!

Never saw her again. I was shocked, speechless, didn't even have time to grab her number.

This happened 19 years ago and I still think about it to this day... She could've been my Lola :(

It's disgusting that homosexuality is seen as such an abhorrent thing in this day and age. Are all humans not capable of love? If the answer is a resounding yes, then why are we stopping consenting adults from expressing this? Because of some archaic scripture from thousands of years ago? Excuse my French here, Lebanon, but kindly get to fuck.

Those are probably just newbies. My Reddit account is about 12 years old, and Lemmy right now reminds me of the good days of Reddit. It's ramping up that way.

I think it's great. Read about philosophy, memes, and get the occasional booba in-between. It's good Internetting.

"I'm so shy" whilst she exposes her bare anus to the gods.

Being someone who has to consume high fibre, as part of a medical condition, I cannot stress this enough: DRINK WATER, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD DRINK MORE WATER THAN YOU USUALLY DO!!!

Easy loophole: befriend them.
Ask them for their name. Tell them yours. It's not illegal to eat pizza with a friend, and in that instance their situation otherwise is not relevant at all.

Fuck anyone who has an issue with it. Keep feeding people who have it rough, if you want.

Some dealers are cool folk who just like weed. I went to the wedding of one of mine many years ago.

Glad you pointed this out. The efforts of Guy Fawkes and his team were to restrict the rights of many. Although the character of V For Vendetta is cool, it's very, very loosely based on the actual Guy Fawkes (who gives me the impression of a bigot, from what we know of the gunpowder plot).

I have a feeling OP posted this as bait, so people would post cute pics of their rescued dogs.

And I commend this effort. Moar doggos pls.

People in the UK drink so much tea (or coffee these days), that breaks in soap operas (such as Eastenders) cause the national grid to be on high alert, due to the incredulous surge of power from so many kettles being turned on at once.

What is Pluto doing so close to Australia?

That shouldn't be allowed. Someone tell it to go back to it's usual orbit, this is not on.

Here's the thing though... I've been on Reddit for over a decade before Lemmy, and whilst there may be less interaction the interactions themselves have been far more sincere. People are more willing to engage, and even with this random comment there's a chance someone would comment below.

The community feel of Lemmy is something, at least I've found, Reddit had lost a very long time ago.

Sort of a quality Vs quantity thing I guess?

I've stepped foot in about 39 States and can agree. There's an incredible amount of diversity in the United States.
