God this platform is insufferable. Lemmy is always “Linux is god, windows is satan; iPhone bad, android good” on every post and it’s unbelievably cringe. I can see why this platform still has a tiny amount of users. The elitism is as bad as Reddit vs iFunny/Imgur/whatever a decade ago.

Yes. Yes you are posting way too much. We had a member on our large discord that felt the need to reply to every piece of co tent and every thread, and they were eventually banned; because people stopped opening threads or participating because they knew every time they posted or commented or replied, it would be replied to by that one person. Don’t be that person. You’re not “encouraging activity and making Lemmy more active” you’re being annoying and the inane questions everywhere just make people block you and are discouraged from replying or posting. Take a step back; you don’t need to be everywhere.

Rest in piss you hateful fossil.

I’m the largest collector of Anivia merch on earth, and her biggest fan. I’ve had communications with all the famous Anivia related people, am the best Anivia player in my country, and probably close to the world; but I defs am the biggest fan and follower of her :>

Glad to hear! It’s a fun party trick to pick them and eat them around people who don’t really have a grasp of edible flowers, and they think you’re nuts.

Pansies, and they’re a very common edible flower! Often used to decorate desserts. I’ve picked them for an edible flower farm in the millions. They taste…like lettuce that’s been sprayed directly with perfume…so, not great…

I absolutely love Suno, and having it generate songs for me. I’ve addd several of its songs to my actual playlists while I’m driving, and they have become staple memes and love songs between myself and my partner. We even named her crocheted plushies after songs we made about them in Suno, and it named the plushies for us.

Elise from Hells Kitchen. Needs to be struck in the mouth continuously.

As an Aussie, Curly Wurly’s are crack here, though they’ve gotten far more expensive and are hard to justify buying now given how “small” they are.

The 3 H’s. When someone in your life comes up to you with a problem, you either figure out, or ask them; if they want to be Hugged, Heard or Helped.

A lot of the time when someone is venting at you, they just want to be heard and understood, and I’m the type of man to want to immediately fix the issue, and it’s a bit invasive and often off the mark, so I reign myself in and ask them if they want to be Hugged, Heard or Helped. More often than not, they just want to vent and don’t want me butting in with solutions to their issues.

So the next time someone confides in you, take a step back and analyse how you should respond going forward, it really helped me understand more.

Summoners War. Played for years, gave it up, got back into it recently. Very very good gacha game. Plenty of PvE to keep you coming and working towards something, plenty of great characters with awesome skins, TONNES of free stuff and 3-4 events running parallel at all times, booming community, and a very deep PvP scene if that’s your forte when you want to use the hard work you’ve done in PvE. Can recommend if you’re one for the gacha mobile games.

Oh my god! I 100%ed everything that was available in this game up until some tower where the game just said “hey, no more game, go away” and just wrote it off for half a decade as it seemed like it was abandoned, super stoked it’s actually hitting 1.0! Will absolutely 100% the whole game again, it’s actually so ridiculously good!

Yep, I’m part of the problem. Was super active on Reddit, dumped them, then just don’t really have the energy of fucks anymore to create content or comment really; it’s a shame…

My dog, Jose, is pretty smart. I like to get him a large variety of treats, and when he’s been a good boi, I place them all down, separated by a few inches, in front of him on the floor, and ask him to pick what he feels like. Pigs ears, Schmakos, custom dog treats from artisans, little biscuits etc etc. I’ll lay down like 6-10 treats in a row, and he will sit there and wait for me to finish, then I just say “alright pick what you like buddy” and he walks over, sniffs around each of them in sequence, then will pick whatever he feels like, pick it up, come over to me and boop me with his nose, then heads to the living room carpet to enjoy his treat. He has never tried to greed more than one, he always thanks me politely, and he always picks a different one each time so he doesn’t get bored with them. I love him so much.

Sometimes, he just asks me for a treat directly though, he will come up to me at my desk, and lightly paw my leg to get my attention, then he stands on his hind legs and does a pawing gesture with his paws which is just begging, and I go “Jose beg beg? Whats up buddy?” And he will walk to the treat bin and then do beg begs at the bin, then we start our picking game.

Right? I’m a native English speaker (Aussie, so…loosely native English speaker) and my first exposure to “Lbs” was for the weight of Pokemon in the physical red Pokédex handbook, so I always just said they weighed “X labs”, still don’t immediately correct it in my head 25+ years later.

Ahh fair fair. That’s my aussie ignorance showing.

Does ketchup taste like tomato sauce on a hotdog then?

I’ve always assumed Ketchup was the Americanism for tomato sauce.
