Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you have a "catchphrase"? if so, what is it?

What’d you call me?!!
On the off chance that you have a drop ceiling or some other means of doing some light wiring, I recently installed these and the feature makes for a lovely ambience. https://a.co/d/cBrNSwU
If linky no worky, search Amico 6 Pack Black 4 Inch 5CCT LED Recessed Ceiling Light with Night Light
Bonus feature: it comes with The Big Lighttm too. Install is 3/10 for simplicity.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•how badly could a pelican fuck me up in a fight?
14·1 year agoIt was precisely like a bad, dirty paper cut that stank of fish munge.

56·1 year agoHaven’t seen it mentioned here, so a word to the wise: their beaks are somewhere sharp-edged, and if you were to grasp the beak and your hand were to slide lengthwise (towards or away from the tip), you could sustain a nasty cut.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•As a passenger in the car, whats the things a driver does that pisses you off, makes you uncomfortable, or terrifies you?
18·1 year agoThis right here. I’ve known two drivers with this exact habit. Spectacularly infuriating.
Just let me out right here. I’ll walk.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you've ever interacted with someone who speaks a different language, what is the funniest misunderstanding you've had?
17·1 year agoMrs. Ersatz86, native Spanish speaker with (normally) great English skills, to our daughter and I:
Wait, you guys went to the pub without me?
Me: Well, you were at yoga.
Mrs. Ersatz86: Did you at least stop at the liquor store?
Me: Sure did!
Mrs. Ersatz86: Well where’s the booze? What am I, shoplifter?
Me: … blinks…
Me: do you mean “chopped liver”?
Pandemonium.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are the worst / most unique names you've ever personally encountered?
5·1 year agoHeh. I know a Misty Hyman, who achieved some notoriety as an athlete (swimmer).
It is difficult to say or even think of her name with a straight face.
Rechargeable is key here. Amazon has them for under $10. There’s no going back.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•[Serious] What should every young person do?
21·1 year agoLearn a paid skill you can do with your hands. Welding, painting, HVAC, long-line fishing, building PC’s, anything. Get proficient.
You may never use it again. Hopefully you develop a skill-set that pays you better/is less physically demanding/is sexier.
But you will never starve and may be able to feed your family even if your primary occupation falls out of favor.
