No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do Brits act like if you fall into a canal, you'll likely drown? UK canals are only waist-deep. Any conscious person who falls in would just stand up, like these videos show.
1·9 hours agoThey’re not asking for that, though, are they?

2·9 hours agoI can’t help but wonder if they’re from the area (or the UK at all) or if this is a fixation on two people they don’t even know. I’d be pretty upset if a stranger kept posting repeatedly about my family member’s death like that, like it’s not already upsetting enough to have someone you know die without a random person on the internet trying to use their death to rile everyone up.

Now imagine how badly you’d have to do it for them to fail you…
If the tester at the DMV thinks it’s dangerous for you to drive, it probably is.
I’m fine with the DMV deciding who can drive.

News@lemmy.world•US healthcare still stupidly expensive, with pathetic outcomes, study finds
3·2 days agoI considered it incredible when we had insurance that only cost $100 for an ER visit. That’s $100 to walk in the door and be seen, any treatments you get on top of that are extra.

That sounds really disturbing to go through, I hope you’re feeling at least somewhat better now! If you don’t mind me asking, was there anything in particular that helped you reconnect with reality? Even if you don’t want to answer, thank you for sharing your experience.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some simple ways to boost your health and mood?
8·3 days agoHaving a good breakfast is always necessary for me when I’ve got a long day planned. 1/2 cup oatmeal with a couple of tablespoons of hemp seeds is 11 g of protein, nearly 20% of the recommended daily fiber, and around 250 calories before toppings. The hemp seeds add protein and healthy fats and the fiber from the oatmeal keeps you satisfied longer. Oatmeal is also supposed to be good for your cholesterol, too.
Chocolate chips, cream cheese, peanut butter, or jam each work great in it. If you’ve never had hemp seeds they’re slightly nutty, but it works well with oatmeal IMO. Don’t forget to add a few shakes of salt.

8·4 days agoImagine being in the hospital for a stroke, being confused and impaired, and THEN having a DMT trip on top of it. I’m sure any potential application for human stroke victims wouldn’t be that intense, but it’s a darkly funny image. Nurse, this man is having a stroke! Make him trip balls, stat!

News@lemmy.world•Texas School Police Pepper-Sprayed, Tackled and Tasered Students
69·4 days agoI graduated a couple of years before police started getting put in schools where I grew up (yes, I’m old) and it still shocks me that parents are okay with it. I know people who have been pinned to the ground and assaulted by cops for fighting in school when a year or two before a teacher would have just grabbed them by the shirt and hauled them off each other. I understand that can be dangerous and a liability to teachers as well, but the solution absolutely isn’t cops.

TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name@lemmy.world•The ship's universal translator isn't equipped for this.
4·4 days agoI think maybe in the early seasons (?) there was at least once or twice where they did a gag where Boomhauer would say something and Hank would agree with him as if he said the opposite thing, and Boomhauer would just kind of roll his eyes.

Have you spoken to a doctor about this? Please do, especially if you have sudden hearing loss in one or both ears. You could have an underlying issue that can be treated, but you want to get it checked sooner rather than later.















I thought I wasn’t good at monologuing until I had to do a 10 minute speech for a class and in my practice runs I had to keep cutting content I wanted to talk about to finally get to the 10 minute mark.
