Lemmy active users down, comments steady and posts up

Reply in thread

One thing I love about lemmy is how easy it is to get a conversation going. On reddit it's really easy to be buried in a thread, and if you get a response it's often just a joke or a snarky remark. Here there's so much genuine engagement. It reminds me of the transition from Twitter to Mastodon. I guess people who bother to make the move are more likely to be more engaged users, too.

That's 5x the recommended max single dose, and 2.5x the recommended max daily dose (obviously depends from person to person and on body weight). I don't think it would be lethal, but the symptoms would still suck - racing heart, shaking hands, quite often psychological symptoms like anxiety/panic... The worst part of caffeine OD is that it gets metabolized super slowly (half life 1.5-9.5 hours), so after 10 hours you might still experience those symptoms, and there's simply nothing you can do. Speaking from experience here, although it was less than 1000mg. If this story is true (which it very well might be) I feel for OP.

Y'all call it a restroom but I'm fighting for my fucking life in here.

The difference is lactose intolerance is not an allergy. Your body doesn't absorb the lactose, which causes water to stay in your gut due to osmosis. Annoying but ultimately not that dangerous.

Allergies cause inflammation, and repeated exposure to food allergens reduces your guts ability to absorb nutrients and can be very very dangerous.

Make sure you read up on the difference between milk allergies and lactose intolerance, and be aware of the differences in risk.

I'm not here to fuck reddit, that would be really weird tbh. I'm here to have a similar experience as reddit without supporting that crap company.

A lot of people here originate from reddit, and still have the same interests. Especially those who have experience organizing drawings on r/place.

If there's something you want on there, go find some people and get organized!

Why rule

I would if I could. But I can't find any crop tops that don't leave space for boobs I don't have or want, or dolphin shorts that leave space for male anatomy.

I am so done with the same 3 options for male clothing being the only thing available anywhere.

Kann man so nicht sagen. Viele Ortsnamen werden übersetzt.

z.B. Englisch

München - Munich Köln - Cologne

Aber auch Deutsch:

Lisboa - Lissabon New-Delhi - Neu-Delhi usw.

Tatsächlich fallen mir keine Beispiele aus Amerika ein (außer dem Landesnamen), aber es ist Gang und Gebe dass Sachen übersetzt werden, je länger es zwischen den Kulturen Kontakt gibt desto mehr.
