Not generally a fan of the moth memes, but damn this one is good.

(US) They vary wildly even in the same city. A lot of times, smaller dive bars will just be “[Name]'s Bar” or “[Name’s] Bar 2” if they have more than one. Reason for the numbering, as was explained to me, is that allows them to operate under the same liquor license.

Then you get the punny named ones like “The Pour House” or “Keglers”. Some are based on a gimmick like “The Fish Bowl” where you could order a giant glass fish bowl full of beer.

In college towns, they’re often clubs rather than bars/pubs, so you’ll see names like “Lazy Lizard”, “Liquid Lounge”, “Shooters”, etc. The biggest and most popular one when I went to college was called “Bent Willey’s”. Sex pun aside, it was on a sharp curve near Willey St, which is probably how they got it approved.

Number 12 was my jam!

I used to think I was an excellent multi-tasker, but these days I get way more done if I just stick to one thing at a time.

To whom it may concern. I found your glove. Wait a minute…

Rare esoteric wisdom that can only be gained by fucking around and finding out

AKA my 20s. I fucked around a lot but I also learned from every “finding out”.

Happy cake day!

Probably most of them, at least in small “butterfly effect” ways. But mostly, I paid attention in class and remember how to think without having to have answers spoon fed to me. So many people I work with, of a variety of age groups, just seem to lack that skill.

You mentioned home economics, and I only had to take one semester as a required elective (yes, you read that right) and just kind of coasted through it. While I didn’t think much of it at the time, but I appreciate knowing how to use a sewing kit to make small repairs. I’ve patched several holes in my favorite “lounging around the house” robe and extended its life probably 3 times.

I queried my instance’s database. Admin privilege. The info here isn’t any kind of private information so I can share it.

One of many reasons I refuse to interact with accounts less than a week old and/or those that have no other activity history.

I’ve been in an airbags deployed accident while wearing glasses. I was fine, and so were my glasses.

Getting hit in the face with a pillow is actually worse than hitting the airbag at 50 mph. The airbag also partially deflates nearly as fast as it inflates. i.e. you don’t smack into it hard and it just cushions you and keeps you from smacking into the steering wheel. It’s also designed to work with the seatbelts, so those should also be keeping you from being right up in the airbag’s business. Hence, the technical name for airbags, SRS (supplemental restraint system)

You’d have to be eye-level with the center of the steering wheel, not wearing a seatbelt, and right up on it for that to be a concern.

It’s annoying AF, agreed, but there’s no provision in the API to do anything about it. That’s just how the platform is designed to operate.

The only things we can do about it are:

1. Notice who does that frequently and refuse to interact with them (block them, tag them, remember their username, whatever works). If mods notice this, it would be nice if they’d ban those users from the community because what they do IS disruptive to the community.
2. Optionally, don’t interact with accounts younger than a week in the “ask” communities because those are known to self destruct.

If a user deletes their account or nukes the post, even admins can’t restore it as it just says “Permanently deleted”

I would never feed the beast to attempt that, but if anyone would, I’d be interested to see the plan it generates and if the fediverse is a part of that.

Yeah, I think that’s it. This is the lowest hanging fruit with an <input type="text" field that gets picked up by LLM scrapers. :sigh:

I used to, but I try to do better. Lately, I’ve had “blind voting” turned on in my app, so I can only see the score after I’ve voted one way or the other. Basically forces me to read and vote on the submission without being influenced by the current score.
