Hey dude, I’ve been looking for you for so long, since my Dad stole your bike and that was a turning point in my life, since I made a point of stealing your son’s bike.
It is said that this will continue for generations until the seventh son of a seventh son, who’ll transform into an upside down toothless vampire who likes garlic.
In order for this prophecy to come true, please ensure all your progeny keeps buying bikes.
PS Welcome to Lemmy!
I’ve read it this year for the first time. It’s fantastic. So short and so powerful.
So are there any good news in this respect?
I stopped using Windows in 2008 (juggling between a mixture of Linux and Mac OS). One of the reasons, is that at that time I thought Windows was legitimately a mess.
Over time, I thought it got a bit better when seeing it on friends’s computers.
Due to laziness, Windows 11 got installed on my office computer (which I use 1% of my time) and I thought it was honestly pretty good (as in, I never thought about switching back, but it was fine to use it when necessary).
Now that they plug in ads, I’ll certainly want to switch back /s
Very recently I started noticing that if you search anything on YouTube you don’t find what you need at all unless you add many keywords and even then, the site only gives you one coherent answer and tons of garbage you don’t need.
Mostly because, instead of giving you videos on the full set of keywords you use, it gives the first video which is based on all of them, and all subsequent videos based on just a single of such keywords, so mainly you get a lot of crap from influencers or such.
Has anyone else experienced this and knows if there is a way around it?
You’re our hero!
How do you stay in a community, but filter content you don’t want through keywords?
I’ve been a lurker on Reddit for forever (about 15 years) and then the APIcalypse happened and my first and unique post on Reddit was asking for a Tildes invite. I didn’t enjoy Tildes, so now I’m here. We’re so much less that I feel I can’t lurk here too, so now I regularly comment here.
I apologize if I haven’t seen it in another comment, but there is a category missing (sort of, let me quickly explain).
I like reading books from my phone with a dark theme (inverted colors). It’s not exactly an e-reader, though it is electronic.
I don’t claim it’s the best way, it’s just very convenient because of (former Reddit)/(now Lemmy) addiction to using my phone to read about cool stuff.
It’s particularly handy before sleeping or when commuting
Edit: added last sentence
I was scrolling down to see if anyone said this, since it’s been the case for me so far. I have to say lately I’ve seen a raise in unfriendliness (not referring towards me, but in general), but I suppose it’s inevitable.
I’m still really happy with how people interact with me and with each other, and I haven’t felt that on Reddit for a while (am referring to both pre APIcalypse and after, though I now visit Reddit rarely)
Off topic but related: you guys just broke the whole super hero concept for me. Now I can’t go back to reading comics or watching movies ignoring all of these things. I suppose I am happy to be my normal me (though perhaps super strength isn’t so bad)!
This link has been posted and discussed on Reddit too.
Of course, we shouldn’t care about what people on Reddit think (and I noticed this post by chance since I log on there very rarely now), but some users in the thread genuinely ask about joining Lemmy and so I guess it’s useful to know about possible obstacles to trying it that they may perceive.
This is it. The hero we need, but not the one we deserve
You’re talking to me or the guy above?
Care to elaborate either way?
There’s one thing I haven’t read yet in the previous answers: after you s**t you still wipe your ass with toilet paper before using the bidet, and you do it pretty well too.
When you get to use the bidet, your butt is already pretty clean, but washing it with a bidet makes it entirely clean and feels really nice.
You use a towel right after using a bidet, which is why you see one hanging right by a bidet in most (if not all) bathrooms with a bidet. This prevents spraying water everywhere after you’re clean.
Also, when you use it once, you learn how strong you want your water stream to be, not to wet the whole bathroom. You do the same the first time you wash your dishes (if your faucet shoots water too strongly, you wet the kitchen beyond the sink)
Also: those who use bidet go through a rigorous training to master its practice and transmit it’s secrets orally to the next generation.
Bonus: Crocodile Dundee VS a bidet
You just reminded me of this awesome bot on Reddit called “please respect tables”.
There is still a subreddit about this, though it’s been abandoned
It would be fun to have it here too! 😄
Truly awesome and wholesome!
Wait, you can block and unblock individual posters and/or comments?
I did not know that, I must have not been fiddling with it enough!
Off topic shout out: why not Chaco sandals for home and/or for going out?
It’s off topic, but OP mentioned having used sandals, so he can maybe consider them a good option
