Hey, that’s a gender neutral activity!

Is THAT what all that black tar on the driveway that came from nowhere that I saw when I was a kid was?? Ew, lol.

I’m not kidding when I say I heard over 3 continuous hours of fireworks last night. Someone just shot some fireworks on our block (and I think directly outside our apartment) at 10:30 am today.

So glad I invested in an appropriately sized air purifier this year.

In case anyone else could benefit from this knowledge, you should be able to mark texts unread on most phones now. I need that little red dot to remind me!

What means of production do you think artists hold?? It’s absolutely deranged to put artists (who 99 times out of 100 are not wealthy) and CEOs in the same class.

But I will literally die if I don’t get free plagiarized art :(

Ooh, someone’s from a fancy pants big city where the cops went to high school.

I usually stick to beer, but I love a fruity wheat beer.

If you let your cat outside in the Americas (or anywhere cats haven’t lived for thousands of years) unsupervised I’m going to assume one of the following is true: you don’t care if your cat dies, and/or you don’t care about wildlife. Even if you live in a place with zero predators, why the hell are you trusting a CAT with road safety?

Saying this as someone who grew up with parents that let our cats live (and die, a lot) that way. And as someone who has seen two friends lose cats to coyotes in the past year. And also interrupted an attack on someone’s pet by a coyote. It’s been a bad fucking year here for coyotes.

The oil industry, which spent $20 million collecting signatures to put the measure on the November ballot, withdrew its initiative just before the deadline today. Instead the companies say they will challenge the law in court.

Read: it is now cheaper to kick it up to SCOTUS than dump money into a propaganda campaign for an initiative that will likely fail.

Nope, it’s been floating around on the internet for years. I’m not sure who the OC is.

Not sure I understand why train games are on topic because they’re open source but an open source desktop icon isn’t.

The difference between how 80 F feels at 65% humidity vs 45% humidity is ridiculous. Lower humidity also makes cooling yourself by misting or damp cloths a lot more effective, because it will evaporate quicker.

I love this meme format

Yeah, I do feel lemmy leaves something to be desired with blocking. I like Bluesky’s system, where it stops them from interacting with you and also breaks any posts of theirs that were quote tweeting (quote posting?) your posts.

I’ll say it, cauliflower is the worst brassica. Brussels sprouts are fantastic with just a little oil and parm, but I’ve never had a good cauliflower.

Thinking Joe Biden sucks because he’s enabling genocide against Palestinians is a stance held by approximately zero Nazis. It’s a stance held by a lot of queer people.

If you have to chain together a bunch bad faith assumptions to call someone a Nazi, it’s time to cool it. Every queer person isn’t going to have your exact politics, it doesn’t mean they’re a fucking Nazi or faking being queer online. Figure out a way to be okay with that, because the alternative is that you’re going around accusing every queer person whose politics you dislike of being a Nazi.

Did you read the instance guidelines? Because that’s pretty clearly incompatible.
