I want a glass storage where the lid is also glass and can be used without a silicone gasket but comes with one that makes it a tight seal and the lid can act like a small container.

[–] Starf4rged@reddthat.com 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Those actually exist! But I have only ever seen them as tall, round vessels for storing pickles and stuff.

never thought about using these kinds of things but basically the same idea but with the bowl kinda tupperware way of making things. stackable and ideally sized so that if it has pasta, stew, rice type dish it would be a heaping serving. Like 1.5 meals were you are a bit of a pig to eat the whole thing.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 1 points 9 hours ago

What is wrong with the silicone/rubber rings? It lets you seal them better. Got some chutneys I made in clip top jars. Also clip top bottles for the mead.

Is it drawn on Post-Its or are you the unfortunate owner of the world's most painful bathroom?

[–] BilSabab@lemmy.world 5 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

and then you get to a point when you try to make your own furniture and find joint weight counterbalance fascinating.

[–] ieGod@lemmy.zip 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Was going to vehemently dispute this and then realized I've attempted several pieces to varying degrees of success over the years. How quickly I suppressed the memories.

[–] BilSabab@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

after you finish one that doesn't fall apart immediately - it is worse than coke. it is easier to quit smoking than quit woodworking

"Alao you generally don't need to ask for permission to go to bathroom anymore."

I reached age 40 and I just disagree with anything in this comic. Low energy, furniture and plastic crap are for other people.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 5 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

You're still old and even if you think you're cool, all young people secretly roll their eyes at you.

[–] Demdaru@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Eh, when I grew up there were cool oldies you wanted to hang out with so who knows, maybe that's the commenter? xD

[–] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

They do this openly but thats probably one of the job perks when you are a barista.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Your fellow olds also roll their eyes at you, behind their bifocals.

[–] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world -2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Some boomer Karen can roll her eyes all day, I hope they get stuck

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Well you can always cover yourself in tattoos and piercings, then people will believe you're young!

[–] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 0 points 10 hours ago

What a life hack, no I don't want to look like my boss.

I would not know in terms of motives and piercings what do they even mean?

[–] Huschke@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I take it, you don't have kids?

[–] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago (2 children)
[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

You left your kids unsupervised on a sailboat?

[–] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)
[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 hours ago

Did you give them a sack lunch at least?

[–] Huschke@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

It's never too late. But yeah the comment should have probably said "parent" instead of adult 😅

[–] hedge_lord@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (3 children)

Haha you think I can afford new furniture??!

Totally right about the containers tho (though I use glass containers and I have two favorites but they serve different purposes)

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I bought a new water filter today I'm very pleased with it as it's slightly different to the previous filter.

But yes I've definitely become a lot more interested in Tupperware then I would have previously thought possible. I think that's just because when I was a kid things just happened, and now I actually have to make them happen I realise how convenient it is to have storage containers rather than just putting bowls and plates in the fridge and messing around with crappy plastic film.

You will also get angry if they change the layout of your supermarket.

[–] BremboTheFourth@piefed.ca 44 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I wouldn't mind it as much if they weren't specifically doing it to fuck with us

Adults are just bigger children who:

  • Peer pressured themselves into stop playing. (optional)

  • Know when it’s appropriate to be silly or have to act serious. (Recommended)

  • Understand the concept of consent. (Should be mandatory but somehow isn’t)

Am i glad video games and lego have gotten normalised for adults at least.

One spoon that you absolutely despise yet don't throw away. So it just rolls around in tge drawer until the end of time

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 3 points 14 hours ago

Ugh yes, I don't even know how I got this spoon. It's wide and flat, and has these sheer edges like it was just stamped from a sheet of metal and then fucked into a vaguely spoon adjacent shape by aliens who had heard of the concept of spoon and hated people. Somehow the metal is always kind of grimy looking, even when freshly cleaned.

This spoon will outlive me. It will outlive all of us.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

For me it's that one pair of socks

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 2 points 14 hours ago

I've been taking mine on runs and long walks, trying to wear them out. 🧦 🔫 It's the only way

I thought I was the emergency spoon.

For me it's having forks with slightly bent prongs, I absolutely hate that but I also don't really want to start throwing cutlery away because it's metal and I don't really know what to do with it. Is it recyclable?

[–] Tonava@sopuli.xyz 2 points 15 hours ago

It is recyclable, since it's metal. If you have any recycling infrastructure around where you live, there's probably some place or company or similar, that will take all sorts of stuff, as recycling it can be profitable. Have you already tried searching "metal recycling (your area)" or something like that?

Thank you for reminding me. I went ahead and tossed it out just now.

I'm an adult and I don't get excited about of this crap.

Last month I bought myself 5 kilos of second-hand Bionicle parts for a total steal. Now that is something to be excited about!

I just found one I like and bought 10 of it.
