How many super glues do you use for a repair? Do you play on an astroturfs field? Are people carrying maces in their bag for self-defence? Do you eat Jell-Os and burn kerosenes?

All but one of those examples you mentioned are liquid, so they kinda don't fit into this question 🤷🏼‍♀️ because we would say "a bottle of glue" or "a can of Mace" or "a bowl of jello" or "a can of kerosene." I don't even want to contemplate AstroTurf /astroturfs, it bugs me 🤣

I think the Lego/Legos debate is similar to the GIF/"JIF" debate.

One just seems intuitively correct tothe majority of people without overthinking it, and the other sounds & feels wrong.

Coffee is not unhealthy. Why would a doctor be asking a patient about coffee consumption? Doctors ask about cigarettes and ALCOHOL.

If I see more than one thing, I put an "s" at the end of it.

I don't support Lego tryin to be like "sheep" and "deer." 🙄

I've never had sardines but I've heard they are extremely healthy and low cost.

Spam: low cost, delicious, but not healthy. And downright disgusting to those who know what it actually is and/or have witnessed its entire processing from whole happy pig to canned gelatinized slurry.

When I was a child I thought that stuff was delicious. Mom served it to us. As I got older I kinda started realizing what it was, along with hot dogs and stuff like that, and I cannot stomach the idea of eating such things anymore.

By golly you're right. You've been alive ever since you were born, with no death interruptions. You've cracked the code for immortality.

By conflating William Tell with the Wilhelm scream, are you insinuating he was somehow able to scream in the midst of his head being blown off?

I don't know much about computer networks but all I know is when I go to my friend's house he insists I connect to his Wi-Fi but I use my VPN I don't know why but I always do because I learned from Reddit and Lemmy & YouTube type people that VPNs are a wise thing to use, and it upsets him I think because he cannot spy on what I'm doing. Because he has mentioned in the past some people who lived in his house he spied on all their internet activity because they were doing bad things. So if he could spy on people's internet activity when they are connected to his Wi-Fi in his house, he probably could spy on mine too but apparently he couldn't because I was using a VPN 🤷🏼‍♀️

I don't do anything nefarious or unethical on the internet, but I'd rather not my boyfriend be spying on everything I do. Just like I wouldn't want anybody staring at me constantly all day long, that's creepy. I just use the internet as my leisure time until I fall asleep.

Thanks for the source and straightening things out. But darn moderator deleted my whole comment. What even is the purpose of censorship 🤦🏼‍♀️ Moderators won't even trust us to be adults and have conversations and talk things out.

I've said far less awful things on Lemmy that have been deleted by moderators 🤔🤷🏼‍♀️

I forgot what this conversation is about and I don't feel like backtracking. All I know now is that end-stage ligma is a mouth-less person who's craving ice cream.

I was born in 1975. Before the movie Jurassic Park, everyone referred to that dinosaur as "Tyrannosaurus Rex."

Since JP, everyone says "T-Rex."

He owns Goodwill?! That probably explains why their prices have become exorbitant, no longer thrifty. And all the best donated items aren't even available for in-store customers to buy. The best items get set aside to be posted to eBay for maximum profiteering.

I felt the world begin to dumb everything down when the dinosaur I'd always known as Tyrannosaurus Rex, and even as a tiny child I had no problem pronouncing that, became featured in a popular movie and now everyone abbreviates it to T-Rex.

They all look a bit tense and uptight.

Not really "wild" though.

Wow. The things we're allowed to say here that would get us permabanned from Reddit 🙀
