When I see a comment I like or a comment that makes me smile or a comment that I perceive as advancing the conversation - even if it doesn’t match the other two requirements - I upvote.

It’s pretty rare that I see a comment that gets a physical or vocal reaction out of me. This is only the second one I can remember on lemmy. Your comment made me literally guffaw. My opinion isn’t anything special, but it’s all I have to offer and I want to make sure you know you had an impact on me. Thank you.

I was born with a deviated septum and, despite at least two surgeries attempting to repair this, have never recovered. I have almost no sense of smell.

For any food which has toppings durable enough to endure, I eat it upside down. Pizza and cake are prime examples. Why would you ever want the actual flavor hidden behind a thick layer of, in various forms, bread? The bread is the transportation medium, not the food. Don’t get me wrong, I love bread and carbs, but they’re not the appeal of most dishes.

That’s fair enough. Hope you’re enjoying your scrolling!

Did you go back a month in my history to comment on this or stumble upon it naturally?

This is a video of a seal getting startled.

The human recording seems tedious, but I love the video nonetheless.

The effort to avoid smudging is commendable.

The use of the word “handles” is not.

I learned this on cracked.com! I don’t remember how long ago it was, but I wonder if they had a similar source.

For the immediate future, I will assume that “Chihuahua Taco” is a grammatically correct Spanish sentence.

Talk to that guy who recently posted about being exposed to Taco Bell for the first time.

Just because I’ve owned two Chihuahuas in my life doesn’t mean I approve of the franchise!

edit: Also, I don’t actually speak (or read or write) Spanish, so this is the only comment to which I can usefully respond. I have no actual ire toward you.

Everyone should have responded in Spanish.

Possibly purely by chance.

Or the efforts of John Titor.

Agreed.

When I was much younger (which is to say when radio was prevalent over streaming music), there was a commercial that started with “now is a good time to test your brakes!” It made me want to slam my brakes to test them every time I heard it.

There was also a commercial that started with screeching tires and smashing glass. I hated that one.

Reminiscent of an old Windows screensaver.

Old.

I met my wife on IRC. She made the mistake of saying I was cute (I wasn’t and am not). We referenced it in our wedding vows.

15 years later, we’re married with a kid. She hasn’t realized, or at least acknowledged, her mistake yet. At least she doesn’t use IRC anymore, so I don’t have to worry about some other nerd stealing her from me.

I call my toddler “Little Bean” as a term of endearment (well predating my knowledge of lemmy, let alone this trend). I just showed this picture to my wife and said it was a representation of our toddler when they’re an adult.

My wife rolled her eyes at me.

edit: Clarification.

It’s fine if you are and fine if you aren’t, but this message kinda seems to contrast with your other posts in this thread.

In this very comment you said “having a weird hobby.” There’s nothing wrong with having a weird hobby, but it’s not normal.

None of my favorite people are “normal.” So long as their hobbies don’t cause harm to anyone, that’s fine.

My feelings toward furries are entirely neutral and I don’t support the claim that normality is a positive automatically.

That said, I disagree with your claim.

I agree. My intent is not to defend the design, only to explain that the car does not physically prevent you from opening the doors. If it did, I doubt it could legally have gone to market, though I’ve been disappointed before.

In the case of my car, it’s actually primarily for my wife. She has a cricut and printed out stickers indicating the various hidden ways to interact with the car.

Also, in my experience, almost every adult who has tried to open the door from within has asked what would happen if the battery died, so after their first time exiting they theoretically know how to exit in an emergency.

Not a good design or UX - Tesla is way too obsessed with minimalism - but not automatically a casket.
