Well, basically if I find myself procrastinating at work I go do something that’s interesting but also needs done and that everyone else is ignoring. I quite enjoy fixing issues with obscure root causes and building tools for other people to use when there’s not a huge looming deadline on it, so I chip away at stuff when I’d be procrastinating. Nice bonus side effect is the wins earned procrastinating sometimes gives me the motivation to actually do what I’m supposed to be doing.

Well, no, it’s the TLD for Mali

Sunday roast

I’ve made a career out of this.

Oi, we had a restaurant so good they had to stop it entering the world’s best restaurant competition because it kept winning.

Also Sunday roast is the food of kings.

You haven’t, but okay, you do you.

I’d play a mediocre game for free that I wouldn’t pay for, what is your point exactly?

It’ll probably be the porn. What seems a bit bizarre to me is presumably you’d have to pay the subscription to post there, who’s going to pay to provide content for someone else to make money off?

The correct response is “oooooh, whatcha gonna do?”

Amen to that!

Whoever the default is on my device.

Interesting, might be very regional, it’s about a 75% saving for me, choice shipping typically takes about 7-10 days, it’s free if you spend more than £8 (not sure of that’s regional too though)

Haha, tbh it stemmed from a mild fascination with the true range of utter crap and oddly specific items that are available on Ali. Mostly it went the other way (finding stuff on Amazon/Etsy that I’d seen on Ali and being a bit nonplussed with the price on the other platforms).

Amazon

Ali

There might be a bit of a knack to it. Anything brand name or bulk generally there aren’t a lot of savings. With the right search terms you can usually uncover third shift items, whether that’s you’re thing or not. Anything you see on Amazon sold by companies with names like HSUUEHE are often 20-40% cheaper. You might need to dig a little, there may be 20-30 listings of the same product from different sellers, some just list things at the same price you’d see them on Amazon. Anything that looks mass produced on Etsy can usually be found as well.

Just go to AliExpress, same shit, half the price. Bonus points that while their initial results may not be exactly what you want their recommendation engine usually gets you there quickly enough.

No, we’re taking that back too.

Kinda surprised the BBC hasn’t done this already, they’re normally quite advanced with this kind of thing.

I mean it might just be a joke.

You’d be blocking half of Lemmy.
