Thanks for posting this! This obnoxious “art style” has to go.

The general memes channel on lemmy.ml could be for the ones who don’t mind the occasional Marxist-Leninist meme (due to the instance’s political nature), but the non-political memes channel can be the place where you can forget about politics for a while.

Lol. Reminds me of another genuine Lemmy meme: https://feddit.de/post/294583

Someone elegantly snuck a pun into this one

English be like…

…pronounce ghoti like “fish”

Pyramid schemes as well as generating money with money

Vegans have probably stopped doing that by then

Not to be mixed up with “normal” frozen meat!

It’d be cool if you could also dial an SMS with that thing

Haven’t tried it myself, but another cool way is to send images and other files to your phone as attachments to a notification:

That’s a long list of removeable bloatware: https://github.com/Sycnex/Windows10Debloater#bloatware-that-is-removed

Google Meet is not much better… and also way too popular still

Yes, Google and Apple each have their own preferences in breaching the user’s privacy. Like, Google loves targeted ads while Apple wishes to know your location whenever

This idea hasn’t come to my mind until now, but if it’s true, nobody should hesitate any longer & should abandon MS products for good

Steam solves the “problem” by making a shared library accessible for only one user at a time. But I guess you can still meet up & play or watch together

I’d rather ask what the homeless do with a society that is unwelcoming to people who choose not to grind in the treadmill of capitalism

frogs be grumpy

While the trees are nice, they look more like mold in the sandwich context

Ads have no right be as invasive as they are. So ads, and only ads, are to blame.

I always turned autocorrect off before I could even get used to it.

It sure is tempting to type quicker on a virtual keyboard, but I still prefer typing out words letter by letter, mainly bc I find typing suggestions distracting.

A physical keyboard might be a better way to save time & not lose your spelling skills.

Or you could set a monthly or so dedicated “bookmark day” on which you sort through your bookmarks & make a deadline for those you need to take care of until the next bookmark day.

What doesn’t kill you…

Those bikers look so happy!

Non-refillable pens, non-rechargeable batteries, single-use everything

Fun fact: Star fruits are the only fruit named after a shape 🤗

Just because she’s a girl doesn’t mean she can’t film herself putting large objects inside her mouth without getting sexualized

The irony is that the company uses data from Crisis Text Line to make their customer support more “empathetic”.

Convincing points! VOTE MEKHOS

A good way to learn a language is finding a tandem partner. There are plenty of Spanish speakers wanting to learn English. You could teach each other through casual communication (more fun, too)

Being pressured can backfire, like in your case. It’s a 1st step to realize what the causes are for the urge of trespassing boundaries.

The next step would be to not go along with everything, but to say no when you feel that it’s starting to overwhelm you.

Would you close the door when using a public toilet?

I find the idea highly unsettling. Here’s a related old article from 2014, which is still relevant:

What Nature journal has to say about “open access” is borderline insane:

It doesn’t hurt to have more ways to comment.

You can still encourage people to engage on TILvids, e.g. by posting a comment both there and on Lemmy.

Besides, the priority for TILvids should be on the videos. Comments are nice to have, but not for their own sake.

We’re seeing the symptom of a mental sickness of various causes that have to be tackled right from the root.

The fact that a culture of incels could even emerge is already a warning sign that something is going awfully wrong at the intersection of socialization x sexuality.

That doesn’t make sense. How are people supposed to fight together if they are actually divided, as incels vs feminists clearly demonstrates?
