  • When we switch to DST, we "Fall Back. ". We set the clocks one hour back, at 2:00am Sunday, so basically we get an extra hour of sleep just on that night. Then we lose one when we set the clocks forward in the spring.

    To be fair, I don’t think that extra hour, once in the Fall, is used as a reason for Daylight Savings in any debates.

    A BTU (British thermal unit) is the energy required to raise 1lb of water 1 degree Fahrenheit…which may actually be even dumber, since it’s temperature sensitive to begin with. Dumbest of all, the Brits don’t use that unit very often. The US, and, I assume, Liberia use it all the time.











  • I like cinnamon raisin bagels…with scallion and herb cream cheese. It’s sweet and savory and the contrast is as good as a super hot shower with an ice cold drink.

    Breugger’s bagels, may they rest in peace, used to have a bacon/scallion cream cheese. That was divine on cinnamon raisin bagels. I don’t know what upset people more, the scallion on a sweet substrate, or the bacon on a bagel. It doesn’t matter, if this is goy, I don’t want to be kosher.





  • If this functions to poll users broadly, then count another one for NOT federating. I came to Lemmy to not have my feed dominated by a tsunami of corporate junk curated by one of the worst influences in modern society. And if the counter argument is that I can block their content, then you can go join threads. I have no desire to be on a service where the majority of other users are constanly being fed crap from Meta and then interacting here, even if I can’t see the initial influence. I can go elsewhere, sure, and will if they federate, but I like it so far and would rather not. But consider, at least, the kind of thing .world will become if the only people here are people who think, “Hey, maybe Zuck’s new project won’t be so bad!”
