Not like Lemmy needs more engagement or anything but sure, no harmless tangents allowed. Got it. You guys have fun. I’m taking a break from Lemmy.

Just putting interesting info out there. Kinda weird to seem defensive over that?

Sharks aren’t bothered at all. There’s probably lots of animals that respond differently than humans. I believe birds enjoy capsaicin.

I thought that while typing it. It would be a 5 second YouTube video, but the text description is hard to follow.

Me too, but there’s a way to make the twists easier to use.

• Hold the open end of the bag and twist the loaf to make the twisted end
• Fold the wire in half around the twisted part of the bag
• Pinch the 2 ends of the wire with one hand and hold the open end of the bag with the other hand. The bread will hang below that like a Y.
• Swing the loaf of bread in a loop around your hands 2 or 3 times like you’re making a ring with your arms and swinging the bread into it or out of it. That twists the wire around the bag.

Lots of the bread in thé US has that clip instead of the little wire thing

I’m not walking around measuring people… ever since the restraining order, but just looking around it seems like guys here in the US are around 5’10" or 5’11" on average. I’m 6’2" and don’t really feel tall.

Someone else guessed maybe it’s because of the higher proportion of people from other regions where average height in their place of birth (or parents’ or grandparents’ place of birth) is shorter. Makes sense to me that our immigrants and their offspring could be bringing down average height.

I only use Lemmy unless Internet search results bring me to a reddit post for an answer to a question. I don’t comment on reddit anymore or even browse it.

Nah. Nothing wrong with it, but I either don’t have time for roast or have better things (to my taste) to cook with that time.

W A D N N R S ?

Are you in the US? I just tried that for my job and found exactly as many options as expected. I’ll give you 0 guesses how many it was.

Set boundaries and enforce them.

I’m in my 40s and still hit my pen almost every time I pee in a store or restaurant. Nobody seems to notice and they certainly don’t care. Just be careful around smoke detectors. I set one off in my house once just hitting the pen right under it.

Used to love getting the corner of the brick and seeing it’s compressed shape LOL.

I really do turn up the lights to taste things better

Barry Goldwater, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Newt Gingerich, Mitch McConnell, and now Trump (and arguably many others along the way) have been choosing self over country and intentionally breaking safeguards for longer than most of us on Lemmy have been alive. It’s indirect violence. But it’s violence regardless. And they’ve gotten away with it so far.

You seem to not understand the deterrent effect of being the target of a murder while somehow fully understanding the deterrent effect of being the target of a murder trial.

I’m having a hard time interpreting that position as anything but a bad faith argument.

Luigi’s supporters want to make an example out of Thompson so the next suit that fills his role thinks twice before choosing profit over healthcare.

If the legal consequences are minimal, then it encourages future actions by others or at least supports the semi-unspoken threat that it is likely to happen again if the ruling class keeps fucking around.

Same. Also. Now I’m hungry.

We have many options for people who just want to drink a bunch of cheap beer. Bud Light, Miller Light, Coors Light, Natural Light, Milwaukee’s Best Light, the list goes on. Most agree the stuff you can buy in a 24 pack at Walmart isn’t good quality beer.

But places like Dogfish Head, Ardent, Foothills, Bell’s, Cigar City, Oskar Blues, Three Notched, Flying Dog, Elysian, Anchor, Lagunitas and many others produce some great beers.
