  • I think an ostrich probably has a large enough internal cavity to put a watermelon into. And then you can put that into a llama, and put that into a bison, and make the worlds most epic gamey pit roast.

    Jump

  • That makes me want to try watermelon fried in butter..

    I have watermelon in the fridge.. hmm..

  • ‘Martyrdom or Bust:’ Texas Man Caught Plotting Terror Attack Through Roblox Chats

    Jump

  • Honestly that caught me too.

    I’d have to guess his family suspected/knew he was a piece of shit and wanted proof. Maybe he was also abusive? I don’t imagine someone like that would be like.. super kind otherwise, you know?

  • have you ever dealt with a clingy ex?

    Jump

  • I wouldn’t call it clingy so much as my ex was a stalker who followed me 1300 miles..

  • Carbrain culture is sitting in your car for 20 minutes instead of getting out and just walking into the restaurant.

    Jump

  • You also can’t ride the cart through the parking lot if you park too close. Then you just look silly kicking it up to speed for just a short ride.

    (I’m almost 40 and still do this every time I have to go shopping, like a reward for completing the draining task)

  • With summer soon beginning in the northern hemisphere, what are some pro tips for staying cool?

    Jump

  • Close all your windows, and the blinds, watch Christmas movies with ice cream and cookies.

    Always helps for me, lets me convince myself it’s winter and cozy

    I don’t have air conditioning, other than window units that I try not to use to cool the place, but I do use them for dehumidification a lot when it’s hot out, and that helps an absolute ton.

  • More microplastics in glass bottles than plastic: study

    Jump

  • My guess is the shape of the cap, and maybe even a bit to do with the material (ime pop-off caps are a weaker plastic to allow them to deform around the bottle lip). Screw top plastic bottles have deeper caps than pop-off glass bottle caps.

    Thus when stored the inside surface of the pop-off cap has more chance to rub against other surfaces and create plastic dust, and being a weaker plastic it may gouge more easily as well.

  • U.S. residential solar on the brink of collapse

    Jump

  • You may want to look into installing used solar from solar farms. They have to periodically swap their panels and stuff, but they still work fine and have most of their efficiency/life left in them, but for a HUGE cost reduction over buying them new.

  • Is this what makeup is like ?

    Jump

  • Does baby oil not take everything off anymore?

    This is a legit question; I have not worn makeup since 2000 or so so I’m outdated on makeup tech, but baby oil was good enough to remove everything without being painful, I assume it’s bad for your eyes in some way, or something like that…

  • Voodoo Economics

    Jump

  • That feels gross, like standing under a dripping gutter two days after the last rain. Something just isn’t right..

  • Nearly 800 infant remains found in septic tank at nun-run Irish unwed mother and baby home

    Jump

  • My dad recent got a decent payout for being the internationally trafficked childhood victim of one of these unwed mother homes…

    Not worth his lifetime of trauma, nor the issues that came with being sold at age 4 to a “keeping up appearances” family that sent him away to boarding school on top of everything..

    But it’s something.. he’s mid 70s, so you know, totally enough time to use the money.

  • That's a work of art

    Jump

  • I considered buying one of these several years ago, but I measured everything out and… I don’t have the clearance for it. Woe is me.

    Maybe my next kitchen.

  • People of Lemmy, what does your egg carton look like? No fair changing the setup for the picture.

    Jump

  • It depends how I shove the tray back in. I add eggs to them more often than I take them out.

    Currently I’m sorting my quail eggs between small and large because I’m going to use the small ones for chive blossom pickled eggs, and the large for a big batch of cookies, but usually they just end up wherever they fit, one tray at a time.

    My chickens are going to be another month or two before they start laying.

  • Maelle telling Doomguy to "PARRY IT!!!"

    Jump

  • Maybe that’s what it was, idk. I’m terrible with parry mechanics but it was also a few years ago.

  • When we're home, we want people to think we're away. When we're away we want people to think we're home.

    Jump

  • I’m always home and don’t care if solicitors know it. If they look in the window they walk past, they see me. I used to try to hide but now I just watch them.

    I have a no soliciting sign I wrote myself and taped to the door that says simply “no soliciting, no exceptions”. If they knock or leave their shit on my door I report them to the company they came from, as that’s illegal in my area. I frame it as their canvassers needing up-training and remind the company that if it continues they are breaking the law each and every time, and if it happens again I won’t contact them about it, I’ll report it elsewhere. I submit the thing anonymously through whatever contact us portal they have and a bullshit email address, so they can’t tie it to an address.

    The only people who are legally allowed to knock are canvassers for political shit (and census people but that’s rare) so during election seasons I have a separate sign that says “I refuse to talk about politics with strangers. Go away and take your junk with you.”

    I don’t get bothered much. But I do see people walk up to my door, then leave, at least once a week.

    I’ve never had a problem with uninvited guests tho, as I’ve never ever had an open door policy for anyone. If I don’t expect you, you don’t come in. End of.

  • Gives a mom a reason to live 5/5

    Jump

  • Ok but fr fr I have a chair thing like that (no tube ofc) and it’s the most ridiculously comfortable thing you could ever want to sit and be lazy on because if you fall asleep it’s still comfortable af. (It’s not a beanbag, it’s full of polyfill and foam block)

    Add alcohol to it and you’ll never get up, even if you don’t like wine.

  • Voyager users, how many up/downvotes do you have recorded on me?

    Jump

  • I don’t have a counter for you. I’m not sure I’ve ever come across your stuff before. At least not on this account. One of the others may have found you.

    I mean I do now from this post, but before that.

  • Maelle telling Doomguy to "PARRY IT!!!"

    Jump

  • Did it need to be the right moment, though? I remember going through that canyon temple with the guardians and just standing and waiting for the attack with my shield up, and needing to reposition to get it to hit them back.. but that memory might be incorrect..

  • Draw an arrow to each temperature

    Jump

  • Yeah, but that’s not one of the “options” in the list. If you misunderstood what was going on, the closest option is 29 increments, because 0-1 is the first and 29-30 is the last.

    It makes sense in a misunderstanding and making a logical guess sort of way. That’s how I took tests, too, and it works way more often than it doesn’t.
