As the other person already said, it basically means “I’m dead” and you can laugh so hard that you supposedly die, or you can die inside, due to an awkward situation. It can be used for both.

I only realized just now that the lady’s outfit is Sonic-themed. She’s completely blue, because she’s a Sonic fan… 🫠

With how many species we’ve successfully endangered and with how wide-reaching the impact of a nuclear plant is, I feel like it’s going to be difficult to dodge them.
I guess, only a fraction of endangered species are actually legally protected, though, and these companies will not give a fuck about further endangering a species, if they don’t get regulated.

Yeah, I thought so, too, but I got that from here on Lemmy, so maybe we both read the same misinformed comment.

I think, it’s cool, though, that the official Thunderbird app can be published on F-Droid.

I’m not seeing it in my just-upgraded “Thunderbird Beta for Testers”.

Ah, yeah, I don’t think there was anything in the app. I guess, they could’ve mentioned it in the changelog, which gets shown in the app by default after an update.

But yeah, I think we’ll have to excuse a bit of a bumpy ride here. I know, it says “Mozilla” on there now, but to my knowledge, it’s still just the one core dev…

Apparently, OP’s wife prefers the taste of the pre-made stuff, because it reminds her of her mother’s cooking. But yeah, kind of a weird info to omit…

I’m not sure, if I’m misunderstanding, but the K9 devs definitely talked about it: https://k9mail.app/2022/06/13/K-9-Mail-and-Thunderbird

I have these reusable nets for fruits & veggies, and I always figured I’d encounter a cashier at some point, who’ll say “Excuse me, you need to be destroying the environment, otherwise I cannot weigh these”.

Thankfully, I have not yet (here in the Europes), but the self-checkout register at one of the shops genuinely has a step programmed in where it asks you, if you’re using a reusable net or similar. If you click “Yes”, it has the nerve to ask you to remove it before weighing. And it’s just like:

Thankfully, self-checkout registers can be easily lied to, so I just tell it that my veggies are unpacked.

I believe, there might also be a Rome across the pond…

Yep, how to make predictions about the Future™:

1. Find something that offers a mild advantage, but we don’t do, because of the massive disadvantages that come with it.
2. Claim that those disadvantages have been eliminated, because it’s the Future™.

Hmm, maybe this was considered for putting onto the Voyager Golden Record or something like it…?

At the risk of calling someone’s work boring: Might help people fall asleep?

Me on Lemmy today:

The easiest is probably tomato soup. Just some tomato purree, salt, oil, pepper will already get you something decent. Adding some vegetable stock will, of course, make it better.

If you’ve got specific accounts you want to follow, you can get an RSS feed containing their public posts.

In terms of native clients, the closest such feature I know of, is that Fedilab (for Android) can remember your position in the timeline, so that you can resume reading.
If you primarily use one timeline, then you wouldn’t re-encounter already read posts, because they’re in the past from the remembered position.
I have to say, though, that it’s not the most reliable feature in the world…

To me, the toxic culture of Reddit is a dealbreaker. Over here, you’ve got some folks that came from Reddit and didn’t quite get the memo that they don’t need to enter into gladitorial combat anymore when they disagree with someone, but overall, it’s a lot more relaxed.

100% or so of people everywhere are immigrants…

I guess, it becomes more unusual when you’re old enough to buy your own candy. At that point, if you don’t put effort in, it might come off to some neighbors like you’re freeloading.

But as others said, if you put on a costume and you’re clearly enjoying the process, maybe you even make it a friend group activity, then it’s easy to believe that you’re doing it for fun. It’s not like you’d get rich off of freeloading candy in any scenario anyways.

In case you like feature-rich software, QuiteRSS is good.
