  • Mauritius (officially Republic of Mauritius, is an island country in the Indian Ocean, located about 2,000 kilometers off the southeastern coast of East Africa, east of Madagascar.)

  • Can any "flag nerds" enlighten us as to why a four striped flag is so rare compared to a three striped flag?

  • Knocker-up (people employed before alarm clocks to wake people up for work)

    Jump

  • I think some would stay awake all night and sleep in the day.

  • Price of average UK home passes £300,000 for first time, Halifax says

    Jump

  • You can still get 2 or 3 bed houses in some areas of the North for less than £100,000... though you may find the difficulty is in getting a decent job near there :)

  • A visit to York is incomplete without meandering down The Shambles [OC]

    Jump

  • I was there last week too. Maybe we had a secret Lemmy user meetup without realising?

  • Open drawer = open invitation

    Jump

  • We had a pregnant semi-stray cat come into our house to give birth. A few days later, I'd left a drawer open and found she'd moved herself and the kittens in.

  • Something to agree upon.

    Jump

  • All babies shit themselves, and evidence suggests I was once a baby - but since I have moved on, if I were to shake hands with a shitty-handed person, I would wash my hands afterwards.

  • If you ever find yourself being attacked by a Lion, use plenty of deoderant....

    Jump

  • Both words are also pronounced the same in the majority of regions in England, or anywhere that doesn't do that "rrrrrrrr" thing.

  • ‘You’d be ashamed to bring someone here’: The struggling billionaire-owned high street that shows Reform’s road to No 10

    Jump

  • "We had a right-wing party supporting the billionaire class and things got worse."

    "Then we had an extreme right-wing party even more strongly supporting the billionaire class and things got even worse."

    "Then we had another right-wing party supporting the billionaire class and things carried on getting worse."

    "Basically, the more right-wing things got, and the more billionaire-supporting it got, the worse it got."

    "As long as this area is owned by billionaires and run by the right-wing, things are going to continue getting worse."

    ????????????????????"That's why we've decided that the best solution would be to go with the extreme far right party, who are overwhelmingly in support of the billionaire class, but who are also racist."????????????????????

  • Dip pen, January 2026.

    Jump

  • I tend to play cool bass lines with my left hand, then use my right hand to slap the "black sheet of noise", so this piano would be perfect for me :)

    Seriously though, very nice picture. The concentration in the face is especially good.

    p.s. If anyone needs a name for their art-rock band, "Black Sheet of Noise" is currently available.

  • Pick European Chocolate

    Jump

  • There's a useful website called that - fucknestle.art

    A list of Nestle owned brands and a list of Nestle "controversies".

  • Do people eat this?

    Jump

  • Good call. For a treat, you can then take your part-cooked potato to your local library, then wedge the potato behind a radiator for half an hour to crisp up the edges a little :)

  • Do people eat this?

    Jump

  • You have to cook the potatoes or they're poisonous, and buying and running a hob or an oven is comparatively pretty expensive in the UK. I get your point though, if you're a bit wealthier, of course you'd be looking at potatoes or other foods - and it can get really ingredient cheap if you buy a sack of potatoes and mostly just eat potatoes :)

  • Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown | Exploration Deep Dive

    Jump

  • I would like to separate Tuvix by rescuing Tuvok and the alien orchid. The alien orchid is an important sample for study.

  • Cara vs. Pixelfed

    Jump

  • Sorry this is a bit of a non-answer, but I think carry on as you are - post the same stuff on both for a while. It'll probably become apparent which one is more useful to you and whatever you need out of it.

    I'd not heard of Cara before, so thanks for the heads up on that :)

  • wiggly bois

    Jump

  • Very cool :)

  • So I wanted to work again, but I can’t because I risk waking up the cat with my mechanical keyboard…

    Jump

  • I think you're fine to type, as long as you give the cat a bit of fuss and attention at the end of each sentence.

  • Growing number of adults avoid booze, NHS survey suggests

    Jump

  • It's a bit annoying isn't it? They raised the price of all alcoholic drinks with "minimum price per unit of alchohol" rules, as a disincentive to supermarket special-offer binge-drinking, but then they charge this increased price for the alcohol free versions too...

  • Pornhub to restrict access for UK users from February

    Jump

  • I don't think anyone disagrees with that, but the current "upload a video of your face, a copy of your passport and your full name and address to a criminal company based in Cypress" combined with "if you don't implement it you must block the UK" is one of the most stupid, dangerous and incompetent things I've seen for weeks.

    It's not just porn being blocked. It's Discord servers, Twitter, image hosters, other hosting websites, media websites, images on websites, international companies' websites, tech support, equipment manufacturers, fucking paint suppliers.

    It's a sack of badly thought-out shit by bell-ends. An opt-in from a mobile phone provider or ISP, plus some parental controls was all we needed. Now we can't order some fucking specialist paint for work, and the pictures in the online safety manual all say "not available in your region".

    At least we'll soon be able to buy a pack of 1000 stolen uploaded British passports and photos for £50.

  • I want that sticker

    Jump

  • Except that ugly "Lightning" one, flashing its pins all over outwards like a slag.
