It looks like you’ve made 61 posts in the last 24 hours. That’s a lot of content to provide!

If you’re enjoying it, then there’s no harm in carrying on. Well done, thank you!

But if you’re not enjoying it, then slow down. Stop posting or just post less frequently, whatever it takes to feel like you’re doing something you find worth doing. Otherwise, what’s the point?

But to your original questions, I don’t think you’re wasting your time and posting is definitely useful for the Fediverse ecosystem.

Ooft, I think you’re in need of a GP in that case, not an AI toilet.

I hope you feel better soon 🤞

You know what else can tell you to eat more fiber?

Paying attention to your shit.

Is it coming out like curry sauce being shot through a hose? Time to eat more fiber!

Is it coming out like a large sausage? You get enough fiber.

This is just another consumerist gimmick, another bullshit thing to get us to buy. More waste inevitably destined for land fill.

There’s possibly medical usage for this, by doctors, in certain scenarios, but there’s no reason for the general consumer to require this beyond capitalism and consumerism.

Lemmy on the TV? That’s a thing? How? Why?

855 “legitimate interest” vendors with no easy reject all button? No thank you.

How, as a Russian, do you watch the blowing up of a fictional children’s joy bringer as a good thing?

I use drills everyday for work and have one at home that doesn’t get used much because if I want to get handy I don’t want to drive to work to get one.

The average person has fuck-all experience with power tools, they don’t use them every day. They can pull the trigger and it goes brrrrrrr but they don’t know what the options on the rotation piece are, they don’t know about different types of chuck, they don’t know which gear setting to put their drill in. They use it for the absolute minimum amount of time possible and then put it away. You’re clearly a professional if you’re using them every day, most people are not.

I don’t know whether the 7 minute claim is true or not, but the idea that most drills barely get used and spend most of their time sitting about is not very difficult to believe. I’m quite a handy person, and even my drill spends most of it’s time doing nothing because I’m not drilling every single day, just as and when DIY jobs come up.

In a world drowning in ewaste, and lithium being a precious resource, why are we collectively wasting so much on individual drills when, as JubilantJaguar said, we could own these things communally and not create so much waste.

The idea of a communal toolshed for your street, block, tenement, whatever, isn’t the same as having tools sitting at work. Work for most people is a commute away. Communal toolsheds would be local. They ideally shouldn’t be any more than 10 mins walk away. Can you really begrudge a 10 minute walk for the sake of your wallet, environment, and community?

This also helps the young get into DIY easier. Most of my mates growing up barely did any DIY or tinkering, not because they weren’t interested, but because the cost of getting the necessary tools was prohibitive as a teenager. It’s taken me years to accumulate the toolbox I have now, and many of the items in there are hand-me-downs or second-hand. A communally owned toolshed gives everyone instant access to tools regardless of personal wealth or resources. If a power tool dies, £150 spread between multiple households is nothing compared to £150 for an individual household.

Managing it, caring for the tools, ensuring they’re returned, and in a good state, are obviously hurdles to be addressed, but if communal toolsheds were the cultural norm then they could easily be overcome. We manage to do it with books easily enough, why not anything else?

That’s how anarchy has been portrayed by propaganda media since time immemorial because it scares those in power.

Anarchy means without hierarchy. That’s it. Rules can still be agreed upon. It just means there isn’t one person, or group of elites, setting and enforcing the rules, but that they’re agreed upon by consensus.

Just like hierarchical systems, there are many different variations of anarchy. Very few, if any, serious forms call for chaos and everything goes.

Why? Because it would just lead straight back to Might is Right. “I’m bigger, stronger, more powerful than you, so I’ll make you do as I wish” isn’t a part of anarchist theory.

Anarchism, despite seeming a simple concept on paper, is a difficult and complicated idea. Not because of the core principles but because humans and human behaviour are weird and hypocritical at times.

“That’s something that happens. The migrants travelling the Aegean Sea, very often they abandon the children. They don’t seem to have the same… affection we have for children.”

The blatant dehumanisation is sickening as well.

Flying insects are not necessarily impossible to control. You can promote the populations of their predators.

The problem is, that usually requires promoting a mixture of amphibians, birds, reptiles, small mammals, and other insects. To do that, you need a habitat full of various plants, trees, and terrains, but vast swathes of land have been turned into dead monoculture, so the predators die out.
