snailwizard,

My partner and I are about a third of the way through Frank Herbert’s ‘God Emperor or Dune’. It’s getting really good!

I haven’t started it quiiite yet per se but I’ve picked up Osamu Tezuka’s ‘One Hundred Stories’, a period samurai manga retelling of Faust.

snailwizard,

We are! I actually got him so into the series he finished well ahead of me lol. But now we are listening through together as we fall asleep :D One Hundred Tales has been a lot of fun, it’s very Tezuka and having watched Pluto recently it’s scratching that very specific itch lol

snailwizard,

Get a washlet brand bidet if you can. Have had mine several years now and it still works great. I miss it when I’m not at home

snailwizard,

I read a toot about it last night when I was very tired. Apparently there is some sort of (anti-)privacy protocol in universeodon’s source code that is getting implemented to Masto main source soon.

I wasn’t able to find the relevant post, but I do remember that it can only be disabled by toggling ‘Discoverable’ under account options. Evidently Eugen said something along the lines of “it’s what people expect from social media” but the point of Mastodon was to be a divergence from traditional social media, no?

snailwizard,

Hello! I’m trying to transition away from smoking myself (I use medically and recreationally) because smoking is bad for your lungs, but nothing really beats the instant relief from smoking some flower. I personally haven’t tried one yet but I’ve heard a lot of people use a dry herb vape to some success.

snailwizard,

In short, no. To explain: you have a bunch of beneficial bacteria living inside your digestive tract. These little guys help you digest your food, and in return they get a free meal. This basically means that the food you eat ferments into poo. Fermentation always results in gas being released (think how the plastic wrap on a bowl of dough can puff up as it proves.) So to sum it up, unless you drank a strict water-only diet, anything you eat can give you gas. (Even then, you would probably still naturally swallow some air with the water, and some would make it to the other end as a fart.)

In all that is wrong with recycling to begin with, do I even need to put cardboard and paper into recycling; or does it just break down easily in all the garbage?

Edit to say - I’m really glad I asked my stupid question. I was so jaded by the con artists in recycling I forgot that when done right there’s so much good - and still loads of consequences to not finding a place to reuse the paper products. I’m not huge with using packaging - and thanks for all the thoughtful answers :))...

snailwizard,

There’s this idea that things will just “break down” in the garbage but in reality past a certain point in the landfill heap, there’s too little oxygen to fuel decomposition. And that point keeps rising…

How would share buttons work given lemmy is federated (vs a unique instance)? (lemmy.world)

For example in the screenshot (twitch clip), if you want to share on reddit you click the reddit button, but what button are devs supposed to put to share in the fediverse? Do they pick an instance of their choice?! Is this a weakness of a federated platform or what?

snailwizard,

Probably uses the Lemmy API to detect which instance you’re logged into or you log in directly when prompted.

snailwizard,

Lol the flecks of dirt aside. The big offender was getting the succulent in that little corner haha

I understand it's normal to want to be in a relationship, but how do you feel happy when you aren't?

I'm 36, and while my love life has been varied and interesting, over the last few years I've started to want to settle down. I know it doesn't happen overnight. But recently it's been weighing on me more and more. I reminisce about past relationships. I feel hopeless about meeting someone in the future who shares my values....

snailwizard,

Not to get on my socialist soapbox, but we’re so tired and exhausted from work that we don’t have the time or energy to make friends and other connections. The only relationships we really have are romantic ones and even then it’s basically only allowed because it makes more babies to eventually exploit.

So my advice to you is this: don’t worry so much about romance. Try and cultivate relationships online and in person. If you have friendships that will increase your happiness. Plus you will then have a pool of people who share most of your values, and one or two might emerge as romantic partners.
