Back when I signed up for reddit, you didn't need an email and they warned you if you lost your password you'd be locked out of your account until you regained it and they would not offer support to reset it

I liked that. I don't want to have to submit my email for everything just to interact

I had an ex who couldn't fathom why in a walking dead/fallout scenario I'd personally not choose to trade with gold, but actual useful and tangible goods like food, ammo, salt, skills...

Their whole argument was gold has always been valuable so it'll always be valuable and I was like "the fuck good would gold do me when I'm starving"

About 20 years ago

I went to my family Christmas with my then-partner. I got a Grinch onesie from my family

We then attended my partner's family Christmas where basically the entire living room was stuffed with presents for the kids (my partner and their siblings). My then-partner complained about how the siblings all got more $$ worth of presents. I pointed out that I got a pair of pjs for Christmas. The reply: "it's not about the dollar amount, it's just they got more than me" (paraphrased)

I hated that present. A fucking onesie? It was such a disappointing present, and for a long time I used it as an example for questions just like this

I kept it and wore it. Eventually I lost the bitterness and started to cherish it even. Which is why I still wear it regularly this time of year! It's quite warm.. plus, it has pockets!

Grinch tax:

My bois, Ripple and Crocodile!

I take umbrage at this statement:

2020's: Israel and the Jews

I hear what you're saying and see the point you're overall trying to make; but please rework it so you're not lumping "The Jews" into the actions of Israel

There are many Jewish people against the actions of Israel and abhor the thought of exterminating anyone/anything

I do agree with your last statement. I had a gossamer support of Israel which has radically changed in recent years. I see the current actions of Israel as no different than their oppressors

It's got a name!

It's a thing. I definitely feel it, too

It's a play on how tp is marketed:

I feel it is very important to post this here:

I don't know why there had to be some weird background but here's a still from the actual scene

You're correct. A comment in the hn link linked to a forum post. Here's the actual damage:

You've never heard a man complain about something?

I never questioned the y but always read it as a G

To be fair, it is a number I would be curious about because I just want to know. So I looked up the article:

https://www.sciencefocus.com/planet-earth/how-much-does-human-breathing-contribute-to-climate-change

be mad; read headlines; parrot social media; here's another quote:

In contrast, burning fossil fuels like coal releases CO2 which has been locked up for millions of years, producing a net contribution to global warming.

The article is literally blaming capitalism

I'm not against bros blowing bros,

But if that were to happen I'm pretty sure it would not be consensual on Mamdani's part

Cuomo? 100% wouldn't have given a 2nd thought and assumed it's true

I'm sitting here doom scrolling. Literally thinking to myself "what the fuck is happening" after just reading another new article about escalations somewhere

This one hit me right in the feels. I hope this is real, because it's powerful. I'd love to take that hand

This was the first post I saw after seeing one driving the opposite way on the highway;

it's hideous

Here's the stream if you want to watch the greatest poe2 player in the world

From wiki:

Orangeburg pipe (also known as "fiber conduit", "bituminous fiber pipe" or "Bermico" or "sand pipe") is bituminized fiber pipe used in the United States. It is made from layers of ground wood pulp fibers and asbestos fibres compressed with and bound by a water resistant adhesive then impregnated with liquefied coal tar pitch

Oof, that sounds like it was a fun project to remediate

I considered deleting the post

Please don't! I've been out and about today and inadvertently left this post open. I've thoroughly enjoyed reading all of the comments and it has been one of the most engaging posts I've seen on Lemmy

I appreciate all of the discussion it generated! Thank you <3

I had to look it up; what a beautiful painting!

From the outset it looks quite normal and enticing but on further examination:

Sorry for the wall of text but I found this fascinating, also serves a great alt text (which I don't know how to add with my client) or for a screen reader

... a good-sized, light-red peach attached to a stem with wormholes in the leaf resembling damage by oriental fruit moth (Orthosia hibisci). Beneath it is a single bicolored apple, shown from a stem perspective with two insect entry holes, probably codling moth, one of which shows secondary rot at the edge; one blushed yellow pear with insect predations resembling damage by leaf roller (Archips argyospita); four figs, two white and two purple—the purple ones dead ripe and splitting along the sides, plus a large fig leaf with a prominent fungal scorch lesion resembling anthracnose (Glomerella cingulata); and a single unblemished quince with a leafy spur showing fungal spots. There are four clusters of grapes, black, red, golden, and white; the red cluster on the right shows several mummied fruit, while the two clusters on the left each show an overripe berry. There are two grape leaves, one severely desiccated and shriveled while the other contains spots and evidence of an egg mass. In the right part of the basket are two green figs and a ripe black one is nestled in the rear on the left. On the sides of the basket are two disembodied shoots: to the right is a grape shoot with two leaves, both showing severe insect predations resembling grasshopper feeding; to the left is a floating spur of quince or pear.
