Wheels that size shouldn’t exist, and neither should those critter trail enclosures. I used to have pet mice and nothing about that setup would be appropriate for them, and I can’t think of an animal that would do well in there. They’re not even small enough to run comfortably in that wheel (they get similar back problems from running in wheels that small). But while hamsters are low on the “give a fuck” scale, mice are even lower.

There’s a local queer cafe/community center that has a (non-alcoholic) drink called programmer socks. The main component is an energy drink, because of course it is.

Could have also been !taneggs@lemmy.ca

(Nice to know that kind of community link now works on Jerboa)

Some form of translation, ai or not, along with an image description option (that users would proofread before posting) could actually be cool.

I also had a coworker named America and I’m pretty sure her parents were immigrants - English was pretty clearly not my coworker’s first language. I think it works for her situation. (Funny enough, it was her reckless behavior that caused me to spend my last few weeks at that job on light duty…)

There’s also America Ferrera, I don’t think the name is that weird.

There’s a way to shut off the beeping entirely on most microwaves, but then forgetting your food is much more likely.

Didn’t Peace Corps get defunded?

How dare you remind me that S Club 7 exists. D:

Some of those have really low weight limits too though, my ebike is 250 pounds but I’m comfortably under that.

A former roommate of mine had a papillon that lived in the master bedroom with three cats when she wasn’t home, and she’d be gone for 8+ hours at a time… the dog learned to use the litter box from the cats.

I was a newly out queer teenager when OSC started running his mouth about gay marriage. At the same time I was a big Harry Potter fan.

Fuck Orson Scott Card, but he doesn’t seem quite so bad anymore.

Only a very tiny bit.

I had that book as a kid and I’d completely forgotten about it until now!

Lemmy will upvote anything, this is just a Bean in an empty soda case.

I’m glad it’s not a thing here because as a “positive” incentive I feel like it drives some users to vapid karma farming over actually interesting and new content. That said, I occasionally miss it when there’s some unpleasant commenter douchenozzeling all over a thread and it’s an easy way to see if someone is always an unpleasant ass or if they’re having a bad day and otherwise make valuable contributions to Lemmy.
