My dream car has been the Jaguar XK8 for a solid 20 years, my understanding is that they're about as reliable as an all electric Renault but 10 year old me was more focused on the beauty and so is 30 year d me.

I seemingly have a complete disregard for anonymity.

Until I saw the sub I thought this was going to be a question about what to call the postal officer now that we live in a modern society where women are trusted to stuff letterboxes as well as men. Postie is of course the answer to that.

The football/soccer sub isn't niche on Reddit obviously but it is absolutely tiny here (on the plus side, it's managed to claim its rightful name this time. Suck it, gridiron)

As for my team, Everton, well... Lemmy's probably not miserable enough for us to be well represented just yet.

He's pretty much the holy grail footballer for Saudi Arabia though, they would pay an even more ungodly amount for him to join than we've seen so far

What did you do to your colleague to deserve that?

StumbleUpon and RSS feeds were my go to for internet aggregation before I ended up on Reddit.

I drive a little Skoda so I'm very cautious on those little roads, don't have the same feeling of safety as the great big SUVs that barrel along

I drive on a lot of rural roads in the UK, mainly Wales, most of the time I'm just happy when the road has space for two cars to squeeze through and some visibility for what's coming around the corner of that rural lane. Actual physical lines separating the lanes? Oh boy it's my birthday. Yet with all that, we have a death rate per 100 million miles of just over a third of somewhere like the US, so I'd imagine the size of cars and inadequate licence requirements are probably bigger issues for road safety

My first assumption was that they'd made coffee flavoured cookie dough with different levels of roast (think my mind turned the chopping board in to a countertop)

The thing I find with discussion on here is that although most threads have way fewer comments and especially top level comments, I'm way more likely to get a response and end up in some kind of discussion than on Reddit where most of the time you just get lost in a sea of comments. Also think comments tend to be more conversational, less memey, less aggressive etc, just generally nicer.

Yeah sorry I meant to say I know I've seen it mentioned as a factor before, didn't know whether it's actually true or not. If that's not a factor, get on it Murica.

A decent set of precision kitchen scales, and some general use scales that don't have a massive delay on them #WeightSupremacist4Lyf

But seriously, fuck you, measuring cups. Fuck. You.

A kettle is such a default kitchen item in the UK that I find it kinda crazy that it's not standard somewhere like the US, though I know I've seen the difference in base voltage being a factor before.

Boost won't be, it was a buy once type deal with the reddit client he made

If you can think of a stupid opinion you can find a redditor that holds it, that's just what happens when you have a huge terminally online community.

I'm alright with connect for now, Boost is the only one I'd pay for

I've always heard it as Joe Bloggs. The Bloggs bot is believed to be a derivation of bloke

He's not even Norwegian, he's from Denmark.

"hottest summer on record? Give it a rest, they say that every year!"

Also I'm in the UK which has been raining and dreary for the last month so it's not getting as much coverage here.

I wake up from my beautiful dream and realise how much shit I've left to build up. Then I go back to ignoring said shit, grab the dog and drive to Snowdonia to go for a hike.

Yep, I've had to stop browsing through All because it's just full of shite memes, shame as I was finding new communities here and there between all the guff

You probably won't be surprised to learn that I am very much a James Hoffman disciple, between that and being a foodie I was always destined to be a weight supremacist.

Then the farmers just breed more cattle and the total CO2 impact and animal suffering just keeps rising, I.E. exactly what's happened in the last few decades since meat went from a luxury to being perceived as a human right.

I'd expect Lemmy to be a little older on average since a big chunk of the userbase is made up of people that had used reddit since the early days and want to recapture that, that demography also tended to be even more dominantly male, techy and political than the average redditor

^^ thanks for doing it for me 😂 volumetric measuring can get to fuck for anything precise

Me every time somebody asks why I use scales for everything

I take my dog on road trips with me and am planning on taking her on a ferry trip across to Ireland soon, but I wouldn't take her on a flight unless absolutely necessary (e.g. moving abroad long term)

Why did the chicken cross the road?

To get away from the noughties memes.

Guess I'm gonna have to give bitwarden a go, I've used LastPass for years but their quality of service and value for money has plummeted.

And in the course of going public they'd be outing a middle aged man who is clearly not ready to be publicly out the closet.

I'm stil a basic budget removed with my v60, Krups grinder and Hario Air Kettle, jealous of how nice your set up looks!

My subscription feed isn't big enough yet for me to just scroll through that so I've been dipping in and out of... I was about to say /r/all but whatever the Lemmy word for that is, and there seems to be a new dumb community flooding my feed every day - yesterday it was 196, today it was weirdgirlmemes. I just block them and carry on

Now we know where Netflix got their branding from

More likely "Father, why are you pissing yourself laughing at my utter humiliation?"

It can't just be that though, I'm a guy in my 30s and I never get any of these channels recommended to me, just videos by channels I've subscribed to or similar to what I've been watching, even after watching political videos I don't get those shysters recommended to me.

Time for you to watch Dogtooth, same director, 1000x more fucked up

Hey what are the chances that we both post photos of our dogs called Penny on the same instance within a few minutes of each other!

My dog is the all time top post on one of the dogs instances, think I might try and monetise her if I get the upvotes in to double figures

Ah fantastic, thanks!
