When I see I have a message/reply in my Lemmy inbox, then open the inbox and see nothing - there is such a relaxing feeling pressing “mark all as read”, knowing I just avoided an annoying interaction from some idiot I’ve blocked in the past.

You don’t have time for washing your hands - but do you have time for a staph infection or gastro?
Maybe you should get some biology education. Here’s a start from real scientists who have studied this exact topic.

ITT: a bunch of actually my penis is super clean grots who seem to think they only ever use the urinal directly after showering their dick.
Wash your hands after using the bathroom, always. You are not as smart or as clean as you think you are.

This might be the dumbest product I’ve seen in a decade (excluding NFTs, of course).


Never heard of this guy, but from his quotes in the article he doesn’t seem funny at all?


Haven’t seen anyone say this so I will: if your home isn’t Fort Knox or a billionaire bunker, then presume it will be broken into. If they don’t steal your shit, they might just smash it for funsies. If you’re running home lab, you probably don’t have the money to turn your home into Fort Knox, but even if you did you’d probably be better off removing the need:
Then you don’t have to worry about theft or damage or fire. Congrats, you’re doing better than probably 50% of businesses-grade setups.


I’d be happy they made the effort to try.
A name is just the noise another person makes to get your attention or address you. If they make the wrong noise - it’s not gonna work as well.


They are swinging with the political wind and falling behind the administration to get favourable legislation and preferential treatment.
If a heap of people die in the process due to misinformation - they don’t care.
Don’t, be evil.


Its because most of them don’t really know what philosophy is, so someone being a master of it makes them feel very insecure - like they’re cornered with a topic they know nothing about.
I do miss those with NFT ape profile pics on Twitter proudly proclaiming to be the sole owner of their investment, only to have trolls yank the image and set it to their own profile picture for their replies.
And half of those links don’t even work any more, as the businesses went bust.
So they paid $20k for a string of text that leads to nothing.


Premium includes the stories that are critical of Amazon and billionaires, which Bezos usually has pulled from circulation.

Or ladders, or rope, or digging, or the many other ways they have bypassed and overcome the new sections of wall already.
The whole approach is so backwards. The drug war and neocolonialism have pushed many of USA’s problems to Mexico, so many Mexicans wish to move to the US to escape those issues. Best solution: legalize and regulate drugs, treat your addicts, help Mexico to put down the cartels, and work to build a tight friendly partnership with Mexico - a very significant trade and cultural partner with a huge shared border. Win for everyone, immigration plummets. Selected solutions: built an enormous wall, lambast their leaders, threaten invasion. Republicans are still in a 7th-century Chinese solution mindset, 1400 years later. Oh - and pour $30,000,000,000 into your secret police force to find and deport any suspected South American or Mexican-heritage people, primarily without trial, seemingly hurting just as many US citizens as new immigrants - shouldn’t forget that brilliant strategy.
If the US could just stop shooting itself in the feet the wounds might heal.


I have seasoned these shrimp personally. They are very high in radiation, just like the healthy sun that bring us all life.



Maybe there was a translation issue, but there were a dozen or more of us at the dinner and almost all of us found it unpalatable. A couple asked ‘what the last dish we had was’ when the next dish came out and were told it was sea urchin.


He hardly needs to try when he’ll be an irrevocable unmovable stain on the US ledgers of record and national reputation forever.


Vegemite is just brewers yeast post-brew, with added salt. It’s was invented to use up the leftover brewers yeast after brewing beer (well really, Marmite was, and Vegemite was invented as an Australian version of Marmite).
Brits like the taste of beer, Brits made Marmite. Aussies like the taste of beer… Vegemite.
Its ok if yanks don’t like the taste of beer, we get it, we’ve tried your beers.


Sea urchin sushi.
Thoroughly unrecommended.
It was like someone boiled the souls of a thousand fish down into a paste and then let it ferment underground for a year. I was not prepared.
For the record it was part of a set multi course meal in a fancy Japanese restaurant - I didn’t seek it out in particular.


Oh yes, true. I do forget. Their catalogue in Australia is quite pricey which doesn’t make them a very good value proposition here.
For example Random Access Memories by Daft Punk is $27.09 for HiRes or $23.49 for CD resolution. I bought that album on physical CD from a brick and mortar store (JB HiFi) for $14.99. It was not on sale, that’s just a fairly standard price for a major release CD at the time - reissues of very popular releases are cheaper than that now.
A more recent example, Igor by Tyler the Creator is $23.99 at physical stores, or on Qobuz is $27.59 for CD res or $31.79 for HiRes.
(All these prices are in AUD).
It does get cheaper with their ‘Sublime’ subscription but not to make it worth it (33%) - unless you were buying heaps of music off them, or already using their streaming.
The idea that you would cut off a part of your kids genitalia just so they could ‘fit in’ culturally is kinda blown away by the fact that it is now less common to be circumcised than being natural, even in the USA. By the time your kid is old enough to care, it will be a complete non-issue, and they can always get one as an adult if they want. Don’t take that agency away.

The idea that it has a population-level health benefit is completely debunked. It is medically advisable in only a tiny fraction of kids (sub 1%). The fact that %60 of the US population is circumcised is all thanks to religious hooey from puritans who don’t want children to masturbate, and think chopping a sensitive part of their genitals off to make it harder to enjoy is the best way to go - thanks to education and a wider exposure to the rest of the world via the Internet, US parents are finally realising this which is why it’s in decline.
