Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you pronounce in words the following two references to money: "6½d" and "6s. 6d." from a 1904 text?English
3·9 days agoYou run into this a little bit with light fixtures too, weirdly enough. Because modern indoor lighting is descended from gas lighting, it was normal for people to upgrade old gas systems to electric by using the pipes as conduit. So now, if you need a replacement bit to fix your table lamp from Walmart, they’re measured in a mostly obsolete plumbing standard, Iron Pipe Size.

Motorcycle clubs (including the outlaw clubs) like to have their location as the bottom rocker of their back patch. Nomad means they move from city to city.

42·9 days agoIf you’re not in the Mongols and you wear a Mongols patch, it’s like throwing up gang signs when you’re not in a gang. You’re going to get the wrong kind of attention very quickly and maybe wind up in the hospital over it.

I dunno, did you hear about the weasel that shut down the Hadron Collider?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Lemmings over 30 who try to stay active, what are you doing to accommodate for your incredibly decrepit bodies to avoid boo-boos?English
2·12 days agoYeah, I dislocated my knee in high school, couldn’t afford to go to a doctor, haven’t been able to walk right since.
but there’s only so many times you can read stuff like “getting it addressed within X hours has Y% chance of saving the testicle” before you came lol.
Dang, I wish it was that easy to come for me.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What would you do if you found out someone was drawing hentai of you with very exaggerated features?English

I think they just wake up from a fever dream of opulence
Ugh, I think my fever dream is bugged.
My great-grandmother turned 20 during the Great Depression, and she helped raise me. I think that’s why I’m like this too.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Flock Cameras are PUBLIC DOMAIN in Washington state. You can file a FOIA for your Flock data. Now police say that citizens getting public docs are now a "privacy concern".English
17·14 days agoYou just gotta get creative. What if we had a lotto system, where every day one person gets a million bucks, and fifty people get to do forced labor for the rest of their life? We wouldn’t need surveillance, we’d just have to tell them we’re watching and let the RNG do all the work instead.

Wendy’s does it like that, and Burger King has a little conveyor belt and the patty gets blasted with fire as it goes through.

ADHD memes@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Enough dopamine thank youEnglish
7·17 days agoI personally find a lot of media has pacing problems. I hate it when the main questline is supposed to be super urgent, but it just turns into a grind halfway through. Like, I’m the Chosen One who’s going to stop the looming apocalypse, but the farmer won’t help you unless you find his lost sheep first. I can’t just pay him to get a replacement sheep and get on with it, I gotta do a stupid buggy escort mission, and quite frankly, I’d rather do the dishes.

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•How New York City voted. It's transit riders vs drivers English
9·17 days agoI don’t know if it’s unique to the US, but there’s a perception that “progress” is a farce that never helps as much as politicians claim. I personally think it’s because we’ve got such a long history of means-testing welfare to such a ridiculous extent, like we kick people off disability if they have more than $2k in the bank, that “free bus for everybody” just sounds like a scam, too good to be true.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Whats your hot take on something that doesnt matter at all?English
4·18 days agoI do that too, and I blame Neopets.
I mean, it’s a well crafted narrative because I’m just describing some kids I went to school with lol.
Yes, Trump ran on racism, but you’re missing the fact that the right-wing media has, since before the Civil War, wanted to convince people that brown people bad. The right has been attacking education since before I was born.
Meanwhile I’m still struggling to find good leftist material written for the average reading level. How can we fight fascism if the common person can’t even understand us?





Is it BlackForager? The “one of these is poison, and one is a snack” lady?
