Generally, it’s easier for the internet to understand. But I cannot date because I’m incompatible with other people in a very specific, but essential way. I tend not to explain it to people irl because it’s too awkward and not really essential that people know, but I have tried before.
I’m sorry that this isn’t exactly helping the OP, but it does remind me…
How the hell do I keep my work shoes from smelling? I stand all day at work for 8 hours. I wear fresh socks each time I put on my shoes. I try spraying my shoes with lysol, putting baby powder in them, putting dryer sheets in them, throwing them in the washer, etc. But nothing helps totally alleviate it. After I kick them off at the end of the day, I can tell that they still smell and my feet will smell because of them until I shower again.
At least it doesn’t seem too bad like OP, but still. It’s frustrating to not be able to fix a smell.
I don’t have any sort of foot fungus and I wear breathable netted tennis shoes. I also wear different shoes when not at work. My non work shoes don’t stink (unless I go to like an amusement park or something and walk all day), but I also don’t wear any other shoes for such a long period of time at once.
Ideally, I need to have dedicated work shoes that aren’t swapped out for my other casual shoes. I work with biohazardous things and can end up with stuff like blood on my shoes.
I’ve been thinking about getting a black cat after graduation. I want to pick a black cat cuz I think they’re pretty cool. So might as well think of a name first rather than giving them one when I am actually carrying them home....
I never had hamsters growing up and I have no idea that little kids often got them killed in “random ways”. I can’t even fathom what the fuck this means tbh. Do they mean that people accidentally squish them all the time or something???
Tbh I’m a single adult who loves alone and was curious about getting a small pet, but idk if I’d be able to deal with something of decent size like a dog or cat. What are hamsters like?
Idk if you’ve ever had suicidal thoughts, but they can are generally really impulsive, and not really well thought out. Obviously everyone is different, but many suicides are done on impulse.
I’m doing perfectly fine right now. I’m happy and have a pretty good life. But I know that when bad events happen, those suicidal impulses are just that…impulses. they aren’t something that most people who attempt suicide sit down and take the time to thorougly think out. They can happen unexpectedly when you’re in a vulnerable stste. Unexpected and intense life events happen that can push even “normal and well adjusted” people over the edge if they have access to something dangerous like that. Imagine suddenly and unexpectedly losing your spouse or your career or etc. Shit happens.
I have ad free YouTube on the YouTube app on Android. Just takes modding the app through a simple guide. Only works on Android though, not iOS IIRC. The tool is Revanced.

If you’re making $8/hr, your head is going to be incredibly deep underwater. 5% is not remotely possible at that wage. At 15% you may as well be living in fantasyland.
Yeah I’m a bit salty that it’s gone, but I’ve actually found using Bluetooth earbuds to be a way better experience. I’m no longer snagging a cable on everything and ripping them out of my ears. Maybe I’m just a clumsy idiot, but I did this all the time with wired headphones.
One thing that Bluetooth headphones still suck for is gaming. The lag is too obnoxious. So I have a pair of headphones that can convert to wired for that purpose. I don’t game on my phone so that part is a non-issue for me.
You can also get a decent pair at a relatively inexpensive price nowadays. It used to be crazy expensive to jump in, but there are a lot of cheaper ones out there nowadays that still offer great sound.
Edit: I saw a commenter complain about the lag when watching videos. This doesn’t happen for me. I’m not sure if the tech is in my phone itself or in my headphones (I have two different pairs from different companies), but there is some sort of processing that goes on that makes it so the audio and video are synced, no matter if I’m watching a local video on my phone or a YouTube video. I can even manually adjust it with a “Bluetooth metronome” setting/app, but I’ve never needed to manually adjust it. For me, lag only happens when playing video games.
I bought one off the shelf at like Target or something before I got my first pair of Bluetooth headphones. The adapter is trash. Static noise like you said and when slightly kinked it just stops working. It’s not like I used it forever just fine before it started doing all this…it was trash to begin with. Apparently a lot of these adapters are just known to suck.
Eh, I open the bathroom door with my left and then use the phone with my right. Then when I’m ready to wipe, I put the phone away. I don’t touch anything gross with my hands before touching my phone or set my phone down anywhere gross.
I’ve heard people call it unhygienic before, but you absolutely don’t have to be disgusting about it. Just being mindful of basic germ theory. Once I touch something that could be perceived as gross or dirty, I no longer operate my phone with that hand until I clean it.
Don’t you ever just need 2 minutes to yourself to dick around on the internet in the bathroom at work?
So I have balls and yeah they’re the first thing on my body to start to smell. I can skip a shower if I’m in a hurry and I don’t smell much. That’s with working a job that’s usually physical. I was a punk kid fucking punk girls when I was younger and we didn’t bathe every day. I didn’t notice much smell then....
This is maybe TMI, but since you seem very knowledgeable, I’ll ask it anyway, sorry!
Generally I’m not a very active person. But lately I’ve been trying to work out more. I’ve noticed that on workout days, the scent is a lot stronger there even after showering and wiping with a cloth. If I wait a few days before working out again, the smell dissipates. So it’s not like there’s an infection or anything, just sweat. Any tips?
Sounds like the person you responded to was just taking it as an adventure, not to get anywhere quickly or economically. So in that regard it makes sense and sounds fun.
Sorry you’re being downvoted though. In a general sense, I agree with you. Once I thought I’d look into getting a train ticket somewhere far-ish in the US and was absolutely astounded at the pricetag. It was the same or even more expensive as a flight and took several days instead of several hours.
It’s like…ok I understand the time thing. That didn’t surprise me. But the pricetag sure as hell did!! Cross country train rides in the US are just not a sensible option unless you’re just looking to do it for the fun of it.
By contrast however, there are some decent (if incredibly sparse) regional train lines, particularly in the northeast US. I used to take a train every so often when I briefly lived in New England and found the experience very nice and reasonably priced. Was a fantastic experience compared to a bus.
It just falls apart if you are going anywhere of a decent distance unfortunately.
For people explicitly following Sony, sure it makes sense. For the average consumer that doesn’t know anything about that stuff, no it doesn’t.
For the average consumer and the average company, the bigger the number means the newer the device (ex: iPhone 12 vs iPhone 11 S23 vs S22, etc.). And then it’s pretty easy to tell that words like “pro,” “max,” or “ultra” denote a more high end experience than those without in the title (ex: S23 vs S23 ultra). Obviously there are nuances and variations, but it’s easy enough for the average consumer to quickly skim before inquiring with a salesperson.
Your average consumer doesn’t delve deep into hardcore researching everything and won’t be sitting there following the specific naming scheme of every single product line of every company. They just want to quickly be able to tell what the latest and greatest models are.
The rest of the world isn’t techie like Lemmy/Reddit. So no, the naming schemes don’t make any sense.
I really wish I had a lemon tree!! I love lemons…not even just putting them in anything, but eating them plain. But then if I had a lemon tree I probably wouldn’t have any teeth left from eating too many lol.
Mine was our CRT TV. I would rapidly push the power button on and off because I thought the picture coming and going looked cool but eventually it fell inside of the TV. I think I later stuck a magnet on the TV....
Lol yeah as an adult I feel like I’ve done similar things. Not with a house fire or immediately life threatening scenario. But definitely like “well I don’t really want to deal with that problem…I’m just going to walk away and hope it goes away” lol!!
I know everyone in here is talking about microwaves and air fryers, but I’d like to add my complaint about my clothes dryer to the mix.
So for some ungodly reason, my dryer will make a loud blaring buzzing alarm repeatedly. It is the loudest fucking thing I’ve ever heard and last for like a full on 5 seconds at a time. This would be one thing. I’m used to dryers alerting you that it’s the end of the cycle.
BUT…it does it three fucking times. The loudest sound you’ve ever heard for the longest time you’ve ever heard. Then repeat that two more times. It likes to alert you repeatedly when the cycle is almost finished. Never in my life have I had a clothes dryer to that and it’s absolutely infuriating. There is no setting to disable it. I have half a mind to open the goddamn thing and try to destroy the end of cycle buzzer.
There is absolutely zero to have a buzzer blaring that loud, long, and repeatedly doing it. I’d prefer fucking silence.
I have regretted it when I wasn’t able to act the way I wanted to or if I was too stressed the whole time. I wish I could just interact like a normal person. :(
Read OP’s comments. OP does think like that which is exactly the problem.
I come here for the memes, not to be berated for being an “animal abuser”. Memes are supposed to be lighthearted.
I have no problem with vegans. I have problems with militant vegans like OP. Just like I have a problem with anyone trying to radically shove their beliefs down my throat, no matter what topic it might involve.
Just stop and think for a second. We’re talking about posting in meme communities. Meme communities are for lighthearted jokes, not serious discussions and berating people.
I think Christianity does a lot of harm to the world. But posting anti-Christian memes in a generic meme community is in incredibly poor taste, no matter how valid I feel about my views.
What things about you always need clarifying for people to understand it (but which you might not always be able to clarify)?
