You got me. I am actually the real account for all of this. I thought I would make a fictional post explaining that all my stories were fictional, but they were all actually real. I hope we can start a blank slate from now on. I'm afraid I'm gonna have to come clean. I am not actually the person with the original account making a fictional account to explain my real stories that turned out to be fictional but are actually real (but in reality aren't). I am the former /r/jailbait moderator Spez.

The special surprise is they got one of Trump's turds and they're all gonna split it
It feels like my experience on Mastodon after Twitter imploded. Hopefully it lasts.
I do this with Inoreader. I subscribe to the Top Week RSS for each subreddit. It looks like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/top/.rss?t=week
This cuts down my usage to only the most important/popular topics. It helps me waste less time and gets rid of the addicted feeling where you're sitting there refreshing the front page seeing the same things you saw five minutes ago repeatedly.
Because I know there's only going to be 'x' number of posts each day from each Reddit I find myself engaging with them more carefully, more mindfully. And when the feed runs out, I go read a book or do something else. It's very freeing. I'm setting up Lemmy to be the same.
Exactly so. I'm about a third way through Stolen Focus by Johann Hari. It had a section on infinite scrolling which made me realize it didn't have it. The book talks a lot about social media's grip on us.
Don't you just love your phone and mac sharing the same copy/paste clipboard
I appreciate the fact there is no infinite scroll on the front page.
I use Inoreader to put in the Top Day or Top Week RSS feeds of various subreddits. (Just found out I can do the same here on Lemmy.) It helps keep my usage from getting addictive like I'm trying to squeeze blood from a rock, and it keeps me from seeing the same posts over and over again. I see all the important stuff. Once. I really enjoy it.
Ceramic/porcelain definitely makes a difference. I think the biggest difference is when you have a lid over your coffee. Your ability to smell the coffee makes a big difference since your sense of smell affects your sense of taste [citation needed]. The different shaped cups probably affect how the smell hits you and how much.
