  • What is the one most astonishingly dumb things that, as a child, you believed was absolute truth?

    Jump

  • If you were cold then you would catch a cold.

    There is a startling amount of people here (most people I know) that believe this. I work in healthcare and we constantly have arguments about the AC in summer for that exact reason. Yeah cold weather can make it easier to catch a cold but it's interesting to see how many people believe that you need to get warm to avoid catching a cold.

    Carrots will allow me to see in the dark if I eat enough of them.

    Partially true. If you're vitamin A deficient, your night vision worsens and carrots can help with that. But you won't get Minecraft night vision

  • You can change the spelling of one word in the English language to match how they are pronounced. What word do you pick?

    Jump

  • Wait how is that pronounced? I've always read it as Mah-Ca-Burr. It's one of these words I learned through text exposure rather than English classes...

  • Where can i find rare books ?

    Jump

  • I use irc for the more obscure books. It's a bit more annoying but once you get the hang of it, it's easy.

  • Migrant hunters in Greece show off captured 'trophies' after wildfires

    Jump

  • In neighbouring Bulgaria we also have migrant hunters, Dinko from Yambol is the most infamous one. If he's the one to set an example, my bet would be that it's them who set the forests on fire before things got out of control. Migrants are an easy scapegoat.

  • Image uploads are now disabled on lemm.ee due to malicious users

    Jump

  • This is really sad and disgusting. It affects the whole platform but especially smaller instances that can't keep up. Despite being a lemm.ee user, I was particularly upset about thegarden.land shutting down because of that spam. It had my favourite gardening community on here.

    I really hope this gets sorted out, and the spammers end up where they belong.

  • Lizzie enjoying the sun.

    Jump

  • I asked because my Elizabeth turned out to be a boy so he ended up being Lizzie... And that stuck because he already learned his name and we didn't want to change it... 😅

  • What helps you when ill? Need some tips!

    Jump

  • Last time I was down with the Plague™, I was in bed, chugging jugs of thyme tea (helps a lot with wet cough), and taking ibuprofen/pseudoephedrine for the fever and stuffy nose. Also I watched the entire history of the Earth documentary series while sorting out my mystery embroidery floss. That helped a lot to keep me busy. Sleeping is good but I feel like I lose track of time and that triggers my depression. But I usually recommend it a lot to my patients.

  • My cat is also called Lizzie. Where did the name come from?

  • Cat owners be like

    Jump

  • I mean...I was like that when we first adopted our cat. Then we learned about respecting personal space and whaddya know, I haven't been scratched in months (Last time was me trying to remove a small piece of thread from his mouth, to prevent him from eating it. He ate it anyway with no consequences and gave me a gash that left a scar.)

  • Scientists find evidence that Vlad the Impaler shed bloody tears

  • Why do I hear castlevania music in the background?

  • How do you consume Muesli?

    Jump

  • Some brands seem to make it crunchy. I just eat that like cereal with soy milk or yogurt. I made the mistake of buying cheap muesly from the local convenience store and it was exactly how you described it. It was the "let sit overnight" type. Except it had cornflakes in it that would get soggy and fall apart.

    I forced myself to eat most of it, the rest went to my local murder of crows who picked at the dried fruit and cornflakes and left the oats to the pigeons to deal with. I guess I wasn't the only one who didn't like them.

    As for the crunchiness, maybe try making it into granola in the oven? Not sure if that would work but it's worth a shot.

  • You have a pussy

    I have a dick

    So what's the problem

    Let's do it quick

    Ausländer is good too. Maybe some Mann gegen Mann part if you're looking for a boyfriend (assuming you're male).

    Why would anyone even put a Rammstein stanza on their tinder? It's edgy and rather cringy in my opinion for both initiated and uninitiated.

  • Stop installing urban honeybee hives

    Jump

  • Interesting read. While gardening isn't my passion (yet?) we're blessed to have enough space for a variety of flowers. We do have plenty of ornamentals that are non-native. The bees do like them but they literally go crazy over the native species. Lavender, rosemary, catmint, rosehip, marshmallow, you name it, the bees love it. It's fun looking at how many different species of bees and other insects visit them. We're slowly going for planting more native species in our yard and making a wildflower garden just for them.

  • Why do most people choose to use WhatsApp over telegram??

    Jump

  • Half of the people I regularly talk to are on WhatsApp. I don't like it but that's reality, it's hard to get them to migrate because this means that people THEY talk to would have to do the same. Also a good chunk of them use rakuten Viber. Now why do they use THAT? It's bloated, ad-ridden, and buggy. Almost nobody I know is on telegram. In fact most are still using Facebook messenger.

  • What subscription finally gave you "subscription fatigue"?

    Jump

  • My mobile plan. The standard is signing for 24 months. I can't really choose a plan that suits me, they stick virtually unlimited calls (which I barely use), and add mobile data that I can't use up either. Settling for less barely reduces my bill if at all for whatever reason. On top of this, despite me signing for a set fixed amount to pay, they decide to "index" an extra 10-15% every year due to "unforseen circumstances" like inflation. And every time I sign a new contract I get an extra 10% on top of my bill for the same features I don't use. Oh and they add a "happy call" where the call signal sounds like a piercing annoying very low quality melody, despite me denying the service. Switching to another telecom doesn't really remedy the problem, the other two on the market here seem worse than mine in every respect.

    Looking at the prepaid features, we're looking at a 40-50% reduction in monthly fees, just paying for what I use, whenever I want to use it. It's needlessly annoying switching from a subscription to a prepaid plan. You'd have to switch telecoms for a month and switch back to the one you like the most if you want to keep your number.

    So yeah, as soon as my contract expires, I'm done with renewing. I'm sick of this.

  • What’s one word to prove you lived trough the 90’s?

    Jump

  • You mean titles are meant to be read? Whoops!

    Terminator-2.

  • What’s one word to prove you lived trough the 90’s?

    Jump

  • I remember the info campaign of my country's change of currency when it got pegged to the Deutschmark after it did a Venezimbabwe. It was by a popular children's/teen tv show host.

    I was about 2 or 3 but the only thing I remember is the news anchors repeating the word "Chechen" all the time. I understood nothing but it sounded funny.

    We had a stereo with an inbuilt vinyl record player, as well as cassette tape player.

    I played NES games on Terminator-2. Post-soviet collapse flooded the market with knockoffs which were decent for the price.

    I remember watching Bill Clinton's scandal on the news though I had little idea what happened, nor what impeachment meant.

  • As a recovering video game addict, what is the best way to avoid 'the jitters' when exposed something that reminds you of gaming?

    Jump

  • This is exactly what I'm doing right now. I play a game that I can play for 2 hours daily max and it's fine, I can do without it easily. I also fell into the OW2 trap and I became unbearable to the people around me.

    I feel like I didn't word myself properly because I haven't played WoW or any of the "problematic" games for 6 months now. I managed to keep myself occupied with cross stitching and books. It's when I see footage/hear music that I get these feelings of wanting to play again.

  • I actually agree with you but the mental health communities on Lemmy haven't caught up yet, and I figured one could find more people here that could relate.
