  • Uhhh the username to the screenshotted post is concerning

  • New study: Spending just 15 minutes with a dog can significantly relieve stress

  • That one user is a bit dramatic and unhinged...but to have a counterpoint to the OP, some people just aren't animal people. And that's ok (unless you want to murder it for no reason...that's another issue). They probably make up a larger portion of people than you'd think. This sort of stuff won't work on them.

    I would probably put myself in the non animal lover camp. I just don't like most animals... especially dogs that jump all over you or bark incessantly . Part of that is a training issue, but another part of it is just their nature. My brother has a large dog. She is sweet and they have her trained well...but you can tell she is exercising extreme restraint against her nature to not pummel into you with excitement. On occasion, she doesn't listen.

    There are a few pets that I have adored and loved, but they are more the exception rather than the rule. And that's ok.

    Anyway, the TL;DR of this is, like anything, this isn't a one size fits all. It won't be applicable to a larger population of people than you think. I feel the same way about people touting that exercise cures everyone of mental health issues. Some? Sure. Anywhere remotely close to all? No.

  • How do you argue against "I have nothing to hide" in relation to privacy and security?

    Jump

  • Well...I am only one person, but if it adds to anything, I have literally never cared. Not when I first got internet as a pre teen and not now.

  • No prob lol. Hope that satisfied whatever hypothesis you had!!

  • I'll watch these for you

    Jump

  • I honestly don't cook so it is a non issue for me. I don't set my takeout and silverware directly onto the counter without a plate. I have always kept fruit and veggies in the fridge, even if you can technically leave them unrefrigerated. Maybe I'm weird, but I put things like apples and loaves of bread in the fridge, even before getting a cat. I get microwavable things that go directly from the freezer into the microwave.

  • Silly kitty

    Jump

  • I built a whole ass cat wall and my cat has literally never used it beyond one step.

    Even though he can jump crazy high and far, I'm wondering if he would like some intermediate steps between the shelves but idk. I did notice that he stumbled jumping between them for treats the one time.

  • I opened the windows in -5°C and this is the cat’s reaction

  • What is the optimal handle to chain length for a flail?

    Jump

  • This essentially answers my question of how in the world were flails like in the OP's question a thing? Answer: they probably never were

    Even child me was confused at how you could use such a weapon without injuring yourself.

  • How do you argue against "I have nothing to hide" in relation to privacy and security?

    Jump

  • Am I missing something or are you conflating two different issues? Why isn't anyone saying anything about this?

    Password security and internet privacy are totally independent issues. I obviously don't want random people to be able to log into my bank account and steal my money.

    But I'm sorry, I'm one of those people who don't care about "privacy", even after reading all of your comments here. Everyone is keen on using "slippery slope" sentiments like "suddenly the government is going to go after you for 3D printing" or "suddenly the government is going to throw you in jail for chronically going little bit over the speed limit" or even that the government is going to hunt you down for using Lemmy.

    It's like well...yes...those are technically within the realm of possibility. I'll give you that. But is it likely to ever happen? No, not really. Some of us are ok with that probability. It's ok if you aren't. But it's ok for those of us that are.

    Most people on Lemmy read as doomsday preppers to me. I'd wager many here are preppers. You have to understand how outside the norm you guys all are and how outside the likelihood of what you're saying can be. Check out some prepper communities if you're interested in what I see in you all.

    I hope this doesn't offend anyone. I also just hope that you can see why it's ok to let non-preppers continue to be non-preppers. Idk.

  • Update: Lester is a healthy boy :)

    Jump

  • Yeah I used that time to ask her some things and then she ended up doing some blood work as a baseline (not because she was concerned). So not a total wash haha.

  • Update: Lester is a healthy boy :)

    Jump

  • So when I got him from the shelter, they told me to give him half a can in the morning, half a can at night, and then "a little bit of dry food" (unspecified amount) as a snack. Very vague lol.

  • When I was laying on the bathroom floor because I was puking from food poisoning, my bro basically wandered over after a while and started meowing at me like "wtf are you still doing on the floor, weirdo?"

  • It always makes news when the "Doomsday Clock" is moved by a second or minute. What would actually happen if it got to 00:00

    Jump

  • OP, the clock is created and moved my humans. Its not actually something that counts down on its own.

  • My analogue month: would ditching my smartphone make me healthier, happier – or more stressed?

    Jump

  • Am I the only one on the internet whose mental health is not negatively impacted by their smartphone? Like...what are you guys doing all day on these things? Nonstop scrolling political content?

  • When I was a lad, I ate four dozen eggs every morning to help me get large.

    And now that I'm grown, I eat five dozen eggs so I'm roughly the size of a barge.

    Looking for hobby ideas that you can immediately do for intense frustration/duress/anger that DON'T involve exercise? Looking for something like physical movement combined with mental engagement.

    Any of you tried DBT before? What did you think? Any thoughts on possible "victim-blaming" with it? (Sorry, I ramble.)
