I will get a bidet the day they invent one that sprays soapy water. Washing your ass without soap is like washing your hands without soap.

Washing your ass in the sink is unsanitary. I don’t need shit particles in my sink bowl. I much rather just hop in the shower after a shit and wash my ass with body wash after I’m done wiping. If you have a detachable showerhead, it’s easy to do so without getting your whole body wet.

If you do this, make sure you’re monitoring the temperature of the pan carefully, cause it’ll burn a lot easier (use an induction cooktop if you have one to better control temps). Through my own experiments I’ve found that the pizza heats more evenly if you pour melted butter on the top of the crust instead and leave the bottom unbuttered.

I find that also helps to let the pizza get up to room temperature first, either by defrosting in the microwave for a minute or letting it sit out for about ten.

No matter the quality of the pizza, it almost always tastes better the next day after the ingredients have had time to settle in and get to know each other a bit. Same goes for a lot of different foods, which is part of why I love leftovers so much. Like I said, you just have to know how to store and reheat them properly.

For example, do you know about the microwaving technique of using twice the time at half the power? Results in more even heating, practically eliminating hot spots. (If you’re patient, you can get better results with a third of the power and 3x the time.) And don’t even get me started on the wonders of pressure coolers and electric smokers…

Yes, in a sealed plastic container so it doesn’t dry out (never in the original box). Then I reheat it using the stovetop method:

When done correctly, it tastes better than the night before when it was fresh.

BTW, most breads left in the fridge will warm back up just fine in the toaster oven/air fryer, or microwave if you don’t want it crispy. (Or just leave it out to get back to room temp.) Again, the secret is to store it in a well-sealed container to retain moisture.

All my friendships basically dried up and fizzled away by 25. Old friends from school got married, went down different paths than I did, etc.

I’m 38 now and I still occasionally talk to a couple of friends every few months or so (one from middle school and one from high school), but it never goes beyond casual conversation. I haven’t gone out with anyone besides the girlfriend in over a decade.

Damn, the photographer did one hell of a job to not make Spez look like the creepy little pedophile he is.

Cut the tail off before serving and I’ll give it a try. (To their credit, at least they removed the head.) It looks similar to the pickled herring that comes in a jar in the states, and I eat that shit like it’s candy.

Less time on Lemmy cause there’s less to see. I spend more time on other websites now, when previously reddit used to take up all of my web browsing time.

I thought we were roughly 2/3rds water.

Because I only have a limited amount of dopamine to spend each day, and I rather not waste it on something as boring as math. ADHD does not allow me to pursue things that don’t interest me unless I’m forced to.

Neurotypical people with plenty of dopamine to spare may struggle to understand the concept of their brain physically stopping their body from doing anything that doesn’t feel satisfying, nor rewarding to do. But it’s a real thing that happens.

Forgot to mention that I live in a red state too.

All my neighbors are lame but I have two routers, giving me a total of six SSIDs to play with. So I have wifi names like “Trump Fucks Kids”, “Charlie Kirk was a Literal Nazi”, and “Where are the Epstein Files”?

Meanwhile I’ve never seen one not abused! People love to take the books, but not return them. I know this because I’ve made multiple trips to restock my local little library and every single time I went, nearly every book was gone, every time. I never saw any of the books I added ever again.

So it’s an organization/brand? I thought it was just something that some homeowners like to do, not an official thing.

It’s not that I want everything for free, it’s that I want money to no longer be a factor in life. Like in The Orville.

(Star Trek too, I assume, but I’m not a Trekkie so I can’t confirm whether or not money exists in that universe.)

Yes it’s something I’ve been working on all summer. A radio station for Lemmy users, by Lemmy users. Anyone can be a DJ or help build playlists for rotation. Problem is that I can’t find anyone willing to do that.

That said, I do plan on launching soon, with or without DJs. Check out the community for updates: [email protected]

They cause problems for me too. But I invest in crypto cause it made me $60K. It saved me from losing everything. FWIW I only invest in proof of stake coins, so I’m not destroying the environment.

I use LLMs mainly because Google is complete trash at providing relevant results compared to 10-20 years ago. At least if you use an AI that cites it’s sources, you can filter out the slop from the truth.

And I’m into cars because I am of the opinion that if I’m going to have to drive everywhere anyway due to lacking public transport infrastructure, I might as well do it in a vehicle that is actually fun to drive. Why drive a big ugly 4 door crossover, and make driving even more of a chore than it already is? That’s why I like tiny nimble sports cars. If I didn’t have to drive everywhere, I wouldn’t own a car.

I don’t. But they pop up in my girlfriend’s feed all the time so I’m exposed to it regardless.

If I ask a specific question regarding my specific car in a general car community, I’m going to get generalized answers. That doesn’t do me any good. I need a specific community for my specific car, populated with people who actually own that specific vehicle.

Already tried. No community exists for my car. So I created one and tried to convince some redditors to join me and they basically gave me the finger (and then a mod deleted my post.) Gave up and abandoned the community. I don’t want to waste time screaming into the void. There aren’t enough 350Z owners on Lemmy to even get a basic conversation started.

Same reason why my radio station, [email protected] is failing before I’ve even launched it. There aren’t enough DJs on Lemmy, so I have no staff, which means there’s no one to play something on air. I’ve been reaching out via PMs to anyone I can find. It’s been a 3 month search to no avail. I was supposed to launch yesterday.

Lemmy is just too small, plain and simple.
