To make toast, follow these simple instructions:

1. partially unplug the power cable from the toaster and pinch its cheeks.

2 plug the cable part of the way in and apply two or three cocktail fork fulls of semen. Place a dish of butter nearby.

3, Plug the cable into the top of the toaster, plug a different cable into the bottom. Insert a slice of bread into one of the slots. Swap the butter for a small dish of ketchup.

4 Swap the ketchup for a jar of duck sauce, fondle the bread.

3. Swap the jar of duck sauce for a scalpel and the tweezers from a swiss army knife. Tell the bread “Ah c’mon you.”

2 Unplug the toaster completely, get a Pez dispenser, and turn the bread…sideways?

2. Plug the toaster back in, get a different dish of butter, pinch the bread.

3. Scrape the bread with a fork on a worried tray near a concerned butter knife.

Serve on a plate with losenges, coffee, whippets and coffee.

Lemmy aggressively wants to correct my numbering scheme. Could we just scrap markup formatting entirely on this platform? It fucks up more than it helps.

enshittificate isn’t a word.

the best kind of correct.

See? We’ve got more than enough.

We could take SpaceX from him. The United States has enough guns to make that happen.

when an eel bites your hand

and that’s not what you planned

that’s a moray.

A phenomenon I’ve seen on Lemmy a lot is all of a sudden the All feed will be pages on end of the same user posting in the same community I’ve never heard of before. They get blocked. Spread that traffic out. You want people to go “oh there’s a community for that now” not “Oh my god will you comprehensively shut up?!” Lemmy.nsfw is often guilty of this.

Right now on the community for the Satisfactory game, almost all of the traffic is a guy posting “Day 44 of posting screenshots every day until I get bored.” That community is as good as dead. When it’s almost entirely one guy’s vomit pile, it’s as good as dead.

Don’t over-post.

Anyone who says that while wearing pants is a filthy liar.

I remember the time he Excel’d himself.

I suppose they do suffer from the “Known in the state of Cancer to cause California” problem. A bubble level app wants in-app purchases and GPS access.

1. The syntax of linking to users, posts, communities etc. is hard to keep a mental grip on. I know they couldn’t exactly copy reddit’s u/ for users and r/ for subreddits, but ! for communities and @ for users isn’t as schematic. I think it’s why you see it used less than on Reddit. And if you start to type a username, and an autocomplete window pops up, it inserts that format in brackets followed by a URL in parenthesis. To the right of the text box I’m typing in, I see, and I’ll approximate this as best I can:

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world

[email protected]

Neither has the exclamation point reminding you how to use that feature. My bipolar ex girlfriend had a more consistent UI than that.

2. Linking to posts and comments is just pure moon logic. Follow me here:

This Post is stored on lemmy.world, right? Where is the comment I’m currently writing stored? on lemmy.world, or sh.itjust.works?

@[email protected] commented on this post, I’m going to use it as an example. There are two buttons next to their username. Both have the hover over tooltip “link”.

The chain looking one gives me this URL: https://sh.itjust.works/post/27359355/14761082

The…fedigon? What’s the name of the 5-pointed rainbow fediverse icon? looking one gives me this URL: https://midwest.social/comment/13230476

If I wanted to refer to kibiz0r’s comment in some other thread somewhere else, which of those links should I use? I figure in most cases I’m addressing an audience of the entire fediverse not just my fellow sh.itheads, so why would I ever use the first link? What does someone from lemm.ee see when they click on either of those links? Do they get to see it through their own account on their instance, or do they get linked directly to another instance? This really breaks the idea of “one account, whole fediverse.”

I was wearing three different kinds of PPE earlier today. Shop safety is hella rad.

If you can do so without some other crime such as breaking and entering, sure. If you can buy a bottle of coke off the shelf and then reverse engineer its formula, there’s not much they can legally do about that.

I wonder if you phrased it the way the Play store does: This game wants permission to:

• send SMS messages
• make calls
• know your location
• stalk your family
• raid your fridge
• access, read and upload files
• manage and add contacts
• cup your balls
• go through your trash
• irritate your boss

etc.

Think anyone would install them?

I seem to remember he wrote something in Python that took hours to run, and his community got it down to milliseconds in C.

The one thing that really bugs me with old analog video that has been digitized is interlace combing. Lower resolution is usually fine, because most old TV shows knew the limitations of 480i and were engineered for it, a cooking show that listed ingredients on the screen did them in big yellow letters. But then the cook waves his hand and it looks like he’s shuffling cards and ugh.

Don’t take pictures in the bathroom. 's creepy.

Would “Trick NOT Treat” include only the area of Trick that does not overlap Treat?

Clue is an interesting study. It’s a movie set in the 50’s, made in the 80’s, and it bombed in theaters in the 80’s, but the television cut became popular in the 90’s and 00’s. It definitely is a product of the 80’s, I don’t think they would have made it in 1995, but that’s when it landed.
