"Why does Coca Cola keep making all those single-use plastic bottles? Sure can't be anything to do with me and all the Coke I drink". This attitude really isn't helped by articles like the one OP linked.

A very easy one is to stand on one leg every day while you clean your teeth

It's a shame we have so many people trying to prevent these changes by demanding that their driving has to come first.

I got one recently and it's incredible for shopping. It's totally replacing car trips

Saying it's pedestrian visibility is victim blaming, and putting the onus to act on those hurt. If it's legal for a pedestrian to be near the road, the driver should be anticipating their presence and driving accordingly

 

Just saw this linked on Reddit. The government have got all the big lenders to agree to a range of measures to support mortgage holders, including the option to switch to interest-only for 6 months to wait out the period until dates reduce, and various other borrower-friendly options. Have a look if you've been worrying about payments under the current rates

Yes, there was a famous thread on Reddit where somebody was experiencing lots of weird stuff, asked a question like this, and it turned out to be CO poisoning

An instance is like an independent version of Reddit

Each Reddit (instance) has its own set of subreddits (called communities)

Whichever instance you're on, you can access communities in almost any other instance

So in sum... Just sign up to an instance, subscribe to communities that interest you, and don't overthink it!

Except the trees would survive just fine without us. It's not really symbiotic

A good starting point is to search lemmyverse.net/communities and then search for the community within Liftoff. If you find a community such as, say, "news" hosted at lemmy.world then search for [email protected] (including the !)

Much like the case of Reddit, Musk might want to reflect on who actually produces all the content he's guarding so jealously, and ask himself what's likely to happen to the value of his site if he makes it difficult for millions of us to write all his content for free

The first couple are widely held to be the least good. I'd suggest jump into the Night Watch set (Guards Guards etc) or the Granny Weatherwax set (Wyrd Sisters etc) - they're widely held to be good starting points

(Edit: I appear to be fond of the phrase "widely held" today...)
