If wasting the end pieces of sliced bread upsets you, I've got some devastating news...

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wasting anything that's still safe to eat should upset you

Don't cry over stapled bread

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Noted. Can you offer me any advice regarding this milk I just spilled?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Ah dude. I'm sorry. That's devastating. It's ok to cry. Anyone would

On a meta note, I just fell for your community link.

At least we know which side OP's bread is ~~buttered~~ stapled on.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is it really a waste if it's a bread in the forest? I'm pretty sure there are atleast some animals which would definitely ate this.

Oh no, not 1 (one) slice of bread! Millions will starve!

[–] hdnsmbt 5 points 1 year ago

Is it still 1 (one) slice of bread if it's a whole community of people sharing pics of how they wasted bread?

Is is still wasted if it's 1 (one) slice of bread?

Well, think of it this way. Since a monkey will be able to eat this, it'll mean one less gazelle eaten. So really this saves lives

[–] Disco_Dougie 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't know a whole lot about monkeys, but I'm pretty sure they don't eat gazelles.

I want to see people stop polluting trees with staples

[–] Donkter 26 points 1 year ago (2 children)

And I want people to stop porting meaningless reddit meme subs and instead create their own lemmy-based meme instances.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

it's as meaningless as you want it to be. still fun, though.

Kinda stretching the meaning of pollution here aren't we?

We need that bot that links the top 3 post of the community.

Reposting from a couple days ago:


I'm legally obliged to shill the various crafting communities, my two most used are [email protected] and [email protected] but you can find lots more in the sticky thread in either of those.

Then there's also [email protected] which has been a bit quiet lately so if you've made something, go show it off!

I love anarchychess.

Although I am pretty sure it's dead... whenever I check there is only one user... and I am pretty sure that's me.

Preach

Found minimalism this year, it's been a game changer for me. Have reduced my wardrobe by half, worked through all the misc pantry items I've been hoarding (or threw out shockingly expired canned goods...), have away stuff from my basement. Feels amazing, less clutter and more control.

So much stuff was "good to have" or "just in case" with a layer of dust on it. From a mental health perspective it's been really nice to go through and keep up with.

[–] zakobjoa 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good for you.

I constantly have to guard my stuff against my gf who has minimalist tendencies. She doesn't get that I like having stuff around that I pick up once every three years. It brings back memories for me. Also, who throws out books because they've read them? Heresy, I say!

The community on Lemmy seems less about minimalism for the sake of being minimal and more about ethics, minimal pedantry ("should we stop taking pictures because they create clutter?"), and being cheap/frugal.

Did you have a different community or resource in mind? I'm interested, but only with respect to my stuff, and in a more "buy it for life" way.

[email protected] (I'm tired to be the only one posting).

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I thought a sawmill based community would be great as I would love to post some cool videos of things but it never went anywhere on reddit. Guess it's just too niche.
