Todayβs Ask PHlemmy: What's one food that you cannot understand why people enjoy?
Cheesecake. Sorry pero kapag nakain ako Nyan, pakiramdam ko kumakain ako ng kasalanan
Fun fact: i ate ensaymada once without knowing it was wayy past its edible date.
Still alive (and a dumbass).
I don't understand why people enjoy eating this. And, for the love of good food, don't watch this while eating/planning to eat.
It's not as bad as some other food I've seen, but more on genuinely curious, as the video would say it is the world's most dangerous
spoiler
Cheese
Methinks the appeal of that cheese (outside its hometown) is purely for novelty. So you can hang it on your wall like a kill and say I did that.
Kinda like how people try to fish for Salema porgy just to experience the infamous high. Or that song bird that you eat in a restaurant with a table cloth over your head.
Kain tayo ng lugaw mga mamser.
Shereep, dagdagan ko yan ng tokwa't baboy
Meron kanina kaso tokwa lang e, kami na yung baboy π
Good morning guys, I don't have Facebook anymore so just wanna ask if Threads and Egg Party(which PaoLUL played) is popular right now?
Threads is becoming popular among users because of Twitter's reading limits implemented by Musk. However, there are other users switching to alternatives like Blue Sky and Mastodon.
I decided to deactivate my Threads account. Yes, I know it's still there and I can't delete it. But at least it's away from public view.
Nakakairita how the influencers/celebrities inorganically generate engagement by posting dumb questions... which then gets recommended to me. Balik Mastodon na lang ako where it's peace and quiet.
On the fence with deactivating threads, as (thankfully) influencers haven't spilled over their junk content threads onto mine.
But with the fediverse coming extremely close to threads, i might deactivate soon without even so much of a "hello who's there" post on threads lmao
Metaβs βfriendlyβ Threads collides with unfriendly internet
βIf an account or server, or if we find many accounts from a particular server, is found violating our rules then they would be blocked from accessing Threads, meaning that serverβs content would no longer appear on Threads and vice versa,β she said.
βWith federation, the metadata that big platforms use to tie accounts to a single actor or detect abusive behavior at scale arenβt available,β said Stamos. βThis is going to make stopping spammers, troll farms, and economically driven abusers much harder.β
I like how Meta (and an ex-Meta) is framing interoperability with the fediverse that they are the ones that's potentially going to be the problem, lol.
Surprised to see some activity on our Raddle sister community, albeit from non-PH posters that were amused by the MMDA's choice for an acronym. π
At least it's not about MILF, again. π
Funny thing is, the next article I posted was about the MILF, completely unaware that it followed the MMDA one.
So Angat Dam is reaching critical levels with El NiΓ±o just around the corner.
Time to do the John Lloyd-Sarah Geronimo rain dance and let all the offkey singers belt out their greatest hits.
I sometimes wonder if desalination is a viable solution to our water problems.
But then again, it might be more cost-effective to just build more dams to store water during the rainy season.
Hi, from lemmy.ml, a socialist planet, they say. lol
Ano ba magandang pangalan ng boyfriend???? Charrr π«’ Good morning, Lemmy peepz π
Ano bang hanap mo? Baka makakita ako para sayo haha
Trauma ba kapag isang redditor? Emz π
Luh, sino yan? Awayin natin π€ΌββοΈ
Normal ba na agawan ng isang 13 yr old na agawan at itago ang mga laruan ng 2 yr old? Pag may bagong toy kasi ung kapatid nya, sinisira, tinatago o naagaw nung kapatid nyang 13 yr old.
Ah, oh. You need to give the talk. If you can talk to your thirteen year old in a way na hinde accusatory or pagalit.
Is is possible that she/he/they need attention, and maybe talk it out?

Crossposted from the orangered place:
It seems many of my workmates have resigned for greener pastures. Parang gusto ko nang mag-resign sa current ko dahil mababa yung binigay na salary increase recently. I've been looking for other jobs sa ibang companies, pero not sure kung saan ang better. Baka i-lowball nila ako sa offer hehehe
Grabe... mukhang abot-Baguio ang simoy ng hangin rito ngayong umaga.
I'm really not used to working on my supposed day off, I'm feeling so lazy and unproductive at work right now. And I'm not particularly motivated to work on a good day lol.
Why do websites insist on using this font (Roboto, I think)? It's very hard to read.
It's also the font on our ModMail, which explains why I often do not check our inbox.
I've seen design guides recommending Roboto as a body text font for whatever reason. I'd admit it looks "good", but at the cost of legibility (same as Calibri). But if I want it to be "clean-looking" as well as legible? Good old trusty Arial is there. Though I would just usually stop thinking and just use Noto Sans, lol!
I prefer using Inter for my projects since Roboto is getting dated in my opinion.
+1 for inter. Shet sorry I have had a weird fascination with fonts, and Gawt Damn you earn big bucks if you have good fonts in a font foundry.
I am not sure if I should be doing this, but hell....
For the handful of us who've moved (temporarily or otherwise) to lemm.ee, there's currently a consultation going on about defederation from Meta's Threads. Upvoting the post means you're in favor of defederation.
EDIT:
I was wrong in calling that thread a vote. Changed "there's currently a vote going on about defederation..." to "there's currently about a consultation going on about defederation". At any rate, it's not a vote.
Lemmy ML just put the hammer down and said kthxbye to threads link
Yeah, it's kinda expected from lemmy.ml to do that. The only other instances I expected to act right away are lemmygrad and hexbear. But lemm.ee? Caught me by surprise, lol!
Supporting lemm.ee's decision. Big companies rarely do good when invited into independent spaces.
I missed this part, and I was wrong in calling it a "vote":
... Facebook has a built-in financial incentive to break our rules. ActivityPub has no protections against advertising, so itβs likely we will end up having to eventually defederate from Threads just for this reason alone.
β ... While personally I feel that any theoretical pros are by far outweighed by cons, I do want to use this opportunity to see how much of the community disagrees with me. I am not intending to run this instance as a democracy (sorry if anybody is disappointed by that), but I would still like to have a clear picture of user feedback for potentially major decisions such as this one.
But yeah, I support lemm.ee's decision as well.
already upvoted because meta can stay where it is, it doesn't need to mix with my lemmy instance
I really hope lemmy.world follows suit, but given the statement lemmy.world admins made, it's still up in the air, if ever.
Question is, what exactly constitutes as "see" in their wait-and-see approach? By the time you realize anything nefarious, it's already too late.
