Attempt to justify my employment, mainly. Take that as you will.

That's the one!

Hope you enjoy! I've only seen a few reviews, but they appear to be largely positive.

Surely this is just baiting someone to post a clip from Office Space.

Did you see they remastered the game?

We're friends?

He does, and the commenters had many varied opinions about it: https://youtu.be/crjxpZHv7Hk

Veritasium also has a video on standards: https://youtu.be/esQyYGezS7c

Tom Scott also has a video about it, but a quick search returns several possible results and (despite his probably being the best) I don't remember enough about it to determine which is the correct one nor enough time to watch and determine.

Ever since the first time I saw a box labeled "potato waffles," I thought they were basically hash browns, but I just looked it up and apparently this is the source of some controversy.

So to answer your question ... They are either hash browns or not hash browns. Probably they are consumed in a manner similar to hash browns.

 

Like the title says, I accidentally blocked someone. I tapped the three dots under someone's post and then accidentally tapped again as "block user" fell under my thumb. This user doesn't seem like someone I want to block, so I would like to unblock them. I found the "blocklist" under my profile, which says it lists blocked instances, communities and users; but (while I haven't blocked any instances), I only see communities. That said, it's not allowing me to scroll through the blocked list, so possibly the blocked user is lower in the list. If I navigate to the user in question, I see how to block them again, but no option to unblock them.

How do I find a blocked user and how do I unblock them? Thanks in advance.

 

I'm not even sure how many chickens I can fit on my current hard drive, but it's probably more than the number of persons I can fit.

I've loved this song since I heard it on American Dad! It took me an embarrassing number of views to realize that the older and younger couple are supposed to be the same people, though. (Knowing Portuguese might have helped.)

This song is very relatable.

 

I don't know why she cares. She's chill about everything else. She's never met a raccoon. She's never met any wild animal other than a praying mantis. Still, when my TV wasn't wall mounted, we had to make sure not to put on anything raccoon related or she'd try to jump into the TV, Super Mario style.

Before last night I didn't even know my sister still painted. It's great that she does.

Nothing in my life has prepared me to answer that question, let alone to a 5-year-old.

They had an idea and they went with it.

Them: Knock knock!

Me: Who's there?

Them: Unicorn.

Me: Unicorn who?

Them: Unicorn. Unicorn. Stop saying unicorn.

edit: Line breaks.

 

Sorry if not.

I was on Reddit for a lot of years and enjoyed most of them, I really did. Almost all of that was through the Reddit is Fun app, it was one of the few apps I liked enough to pay for it.

I stopped opening RiF the day the API incident happened and I switched to here (using Connect, after some experimentation, because the UX was most similar to RiF). I wasn't confident we would gain enough users to make it worthwhile to switch, but I wanted to try and I didn't want to support spez. Just this morning I told my wife that we probably had several thousand users, then a few hours later I saw a post saying we had almost 1.5 million. That's amazing!

I struggled a bit with Lemmy when I started using it, but either Lemmy or I evolved - probably both - and now it's a wonderful experience to open every day. Y'all are great and I appreciate your presence.

edit: Probably should have said it in the original message, but in case it wasn't explicit: thank you all.
