It’s not about the cooking, it’s the f*ck ton of dishwashing left.
For those of you who use instant messaging services like Signal or WhatsApp, what do you use as your profile picture?
Used to have a funny picture of my cat as my profile picture on Signal, but I removed it later on. Now, I don’t use one on my personal accounts.
Video games are one of the few places where failure motivates us to get back up. It's a temporary setback that allows you to keep going, teaching us resilience and the power of a second chance.

If you were to create a Horcrux, how many would you choose to make, and what would you pick to contain them? (lemmy.world)
I’d make 3 Horcruxes. One I’d place in a stone or seashell and chuck it into the ocean. I’ll put another in a NOKIA 😂. Since living beings can also be made into Horcruxes, my third pick may be a Phoenix.

I know you can play the game at chrome://dino, but it doesn’t evoke the same nostalgic feeling of a 10yr old me turning on aeroplane mode and spamming space bar to try and beat my brother’s high score. Good memories.

What's a moment you loved from the books that never made it into the films?
My favourite part is when the prophecy could have applied to Neville or Harry. This meant that Voldemort had the option to kill either one of them. Ultimately, he chose Harry. However, there was a possibility that Neville could have been The Boy Who Lived. It’s a shame this plotline didn’t make it into the movies....
TIL that the Mona Lisa has no eyebrows. (lemmy.world)
When Da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa, he did paint her eyebrows, but over time, they wore away due to cleaning and maintenance to the point where it’s no longer visible today.
What are your favourite books from the series? (lemmy.world)
Although I do like The Deathly hallows, Half Blood Prince takes the cake. The tale of Tom Riddle’s past, Slughorn, Felix Felicis, Draco’s reluctance to join the dark side and Dumbledore’s ultimate demise is very enthralling. Prisoner of Azkaban takes a sweet third place.
