A community dedicated to all the niche communities, I like this. A post a day highlighting various ones or where people can announce the ones they’ve created. This is a good idea to at least spread the word of their existence

Ah the cooked fart. My husband and I bonded over this very shower thought early in our courtship

Do you all still feel like that? That breaks my heart honestly, there has to be a shift. I thought that stigma was starting to come down with the younger generation in recent years but maybe I’m off

So I would never cry in public (I almost never cry really) and I think I have just as hard of a time asking for help carrying anything as a guy would, I’m not even sure I’d have an easier time accepting the help when offered. Even when I had a broken foot I remember a guy from across the street waving me down and offering to help me carry whateve bags I had with me and I was like “thanks I’m fine!”, but I totally could have used the help. So maybe it’s just my perception that nothing is different for me…? I mean I see the obvious differences in the way guys behave towards us vs other males (and honestly I like the chivalry when it happens) but I guess, as I think about it, I don’t attach different rules to myself.

The meat cleaver thing cracks me up though!

I’m here and happy to answer but I honestly can’t think of anything! Do you have any examples of types of things you’re looking for?

I’ve had 3 of these toilets for the last 4 years and I never knew you could COMBINE flush?!

I was gonna upvote but your comment has 45 upvotes and that seems appropriate so I’ll leave it there

I used to use “sort by rising” on Reddit and felt like I was able to engage much more that way. Then they took that option away and I was either getting junk posts or ones that were already too popular to remotely be a part of the conversation. That’s actually when I went to third party apps, I know everyone hate the native app but before they changed the sort options I was fine with it. Then a few months later they destroyed access to third party apps and I joined the exodus and came here. But it honestly felt like they were intentionally pushing me away, as stupid as that sounds. Anywho, I do wish there was more content here but at least I feel like I can participate and not be lost at sea

I have counted the toes so many times to confirm 5 on each, I don’t know why it looks like more

Realtor and brand and marketing consultant for our brokerage. Not the astronaut or veterinarian I pictured myself as a kid. But still, I’m happy :)

Stop saying that!!!

One of the things I used to love about Reddit (obviously pre-enshitification) was the openness and willingness within the community to listen to other perspectives and the calm and intelligent discussion of ideas. That became less and less and I miss it. Lemmy gets that herd mentality and if you don’t 100% agree on all points with certain ideas here then you’re just wrong and downvoted away. So I just choose not to engage

Yes and I’ve largely opted out of the same conversations irl too, for my own mental health I have to check out of certain conversations

I’m traveling to their homeland this weekend, I believe there’s a Walmart museum and everything. To be clear I’m not going there for Walmart

I don’t think your supervisor is mis-communicating, I think they just don’t know what they want. But they want you to still choose correctly even though there is no correct answer. It’s like when my husband asks what I want for dinner and I tell him “I don’t know, you pick”, there’s definitely a right and wrong answer for his decision but I don’t know it until he chooses it! Yes I know how messed up that is. Anywho, god speed to you

No, that level of vanity is unattractive to me

I too function this way! Hello human and/or other animal friend

At least as long as a banana

By god you’ve just solved world hunger!

I’m making a big conscious effort to hear out and be in tune with perspectives of people of all age groups and to not deny anyone’s experiences just because they’re not my own. There are such generational divisions that, being between the older and younger generations right now, I can see so clearly. That makes me want to go out of my way to avoid it as I get older.
