Hi Dad, I need a hug in c/dadforaminute@lemmy.world

Hey, pat yourself on the back! No-one reaches that level without talent and a lot of work. You put in the hours, and now everyone knows it.

I like to think the statue was already there and they built the apartments around it.

Are they still underpants if you aren't wearing pants? in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world
[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (5 children)

I suggest establishing a formal hierarchy of *-pants, with individual terms to distinguish shape, purpose and colour in conjunction with effective and/or absolute layer. And you should be the one to do it, because I don't have time for that.

What would be a valuable thing to have memorized by heart? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

It's useful if you're a network engineer or a web designer.

Happy early Treksgiving (for those who won't see this tomorrow). in c/tenforward@lemmy.world

Google Translate thinks that motto says 'dead man walking'. Appropriate.

Why are the *you are the problem* comments so common on Lemmy? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

The times I've said have been because I genuinely thought the OP was the unreasonable one in the described situation.

just because its true doesnt mean you have to say it in c/rpgmemes@ttrpg.network

I have never been so fairly and accurately insulted! Shame on you!

Any noir fans here? in c/books@lemmy.world
[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Stephen King is a big fan. The Parker novels were one of the inspirations for The Dark Half.

I used to ~~drink~~ use Royal Cola too.

Do you think you’d be able to identify a given Gatorade’s color just by taste? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] spittingimage@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Nope. I've only drunk two Gatorades, both blue. The first one convinced me I prefer coke, the second one was when I had gastric flu, hadn't eaten in three days and badly needed to replace some electrolites. I was a rosebush at that point, if my memory is reliable.

AI Youtube Videos are like going to the garbage and remixing everything so it's shiny and new. in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

I'm sure they plan to make even more money later on when AI is no longer a free service.

What a great idea. Everyone will definitely live through this. Yup.

How would you turn Hell into a tourist destination? (lemmy.world)
 

Especially if the sinners still need their punishment?

Is it possible to eat a toxic amount of culinary herbs/spices? (lemmy.world)
 

Either all at once, or over a lifetime?

Is dessert a snack or a meal? (lemmy.world)
 

My position is that it's a snack and husband tax must be paid. My wife is arguing that it's a meal or occupies some third food space and it's entirely hers. Who's right, court of Lemmy?

What are the levels of BBQing? (lemmy.world)
 

To explain what I mean, I think you can level up a cooking style. For example, pasta. At level 1, you're boiling dried pasta and adding sauce out of a jar. At level 1, you add your own spices. Level 3, switch to fresh pasta. Level 4, make your own sauce. And finally at level 5, make the pasta from scratch.

So with BBQ, I guess level 1 would be cooking the meat so it's neither burnt nor underdone. Maybe level 2 is mixing different meats/cuts that have different heat/time requirements and cooking well. Further levels = ?

Message bullets (lemmy.world)
 

Picture this: you're working in a large open-plan office and you need to send a message to Steve at the other end of the room. You pull out your messenger handgun, dictate your message (because you paid for the voice recognition feature) and let it engrave your words on a bullet. Then you simply fire it at the target mounted above Steve's cube!

Fast, attention-getting and simple. It's the perfect system.

Tesco's Laser-Etched Avocados to Save on Packaging Waste - Core77 (www.core77.com)
 

I'm sharing this because any reduction in unnecessary packaging waste is good for the planet - and because I think laser-etching avocados is funny. 🙂

Alternatives to onion grating (lemmy.world)
 

I followed a Jaime Oliver recipe for curry, which started with grating onion, ginger and garlic. I liked the curry, but grating an onion is a miserable job. He said that technique unlocked the onion's 'sweetness'. How much difference do you think I'd notice if I used a food processor?

Loki (spoilers) (lemmy.world)
 

I noticed that one of the monitors in the loom control room had "SKIN?" written on it in the dust that covered it. It seemed pretty mysterious and I was sure it was a detail that was going to be important, but it never came up as far as I noticed. Any theories as to what it's about?
