@Fredthefishlord @QuarkVsOdo all his companies basically exist to siphon off government funding that should be going to something more worthy. In the case of SpaceX, look what's happening to NASA now. And with the Hyperloop, he openly said he promoted that to take attention and money to prevent the development of high speed rail

@EncryptKeeper @OhVenus_Baby I have very much embraced the swearing method to get rid of 50% of my Google result screen being taken up by an untrustworthy statement. Just a waste of space and scrolling time.

@Gigameister @Novocirab I am on both but have basically left Bluesky for here. It was too stressful there... And I can follow Lemmy conversations

@F04118F @Blaze unrelated to toothbrushes but we have a L'Or coffee machine made by Philips (so, full Dutch I think) and so far it's been great, if de-Nestleing Nespresso is important to anyone

@BaroqueInMind @bleistift2 pacifist because the org literally exists to stop everyone in it blowing each other up though

@Aux @neo2478 KitKat was also British (Rowntrees) but it's now Nestle except the US where it's Reese's (Hershey's)

@Aux @neo2478 it might have started in the UK but it's owned by Mars and I'm pretty sure they sell a US one

@half_fiction @TTH4P the theory is it's butyric acid (in the UK everyone thinks Hershey's tastes like vomit too and lots of our milk chocolate is quite low cocoa content) https://www.huffpost.com/entry/hersheys-chocolate-tastes-like-vomit_l_60479e5fc5b6af8f98bec0cd

@catloaf @thebeardedpotato I go one further and subscribe to feeds in mastodon (feel a bit like an impostor though 👀

@Blaze this is probably down to a technical difference in how we're reading "tempted to"!
