I wanted to find out where it came from because it’s such a clever and fun design. Found a Facebook post from someone who says they made it themselves after being inspired by another artist who makes furniture out of sea mines (I assume they were referring to this one).
So I guess it can be called…minecraft.
You could try an alternative front-end for Instagram. I haven’t used them since I avoid the platform altogether, but I found this thread on the topic.
I often combine grocery shopping with the walks I take. If I’m not in a hurry and don’t need too many things that would be hard to carry, I’ll stop by the grocery store. When the weather is bad I might buy enough to avoid going out far for the next few days. I also keep a list of what I need to buy on my phone and update it when something runs out or is bought.
Hot.
Also the inspiration for 🫃
Surely there’s a less passive-aggressive way to ask someone about their hobbies and get across that you have interests beyond work…
🤨 shut it, melon boy.
It is possible to exclude romantic and sexual activities while still having feelings for someone, and sometimes those feelings will subside with time, but whether you can manage that in a healthy way is up to you.
Also, platonic by definition is “of, relating to, or being a relationship marked by the absence of romance or sex”, regardless of whether the participants are straight or not.
Yes, analytics aren’t inherently bad. They can be helpful in planning inventory and improving services like you said, but that can be accomplished with anonymized data.
The problems arise when more data is collected than is necessary to make helpful business decisions, when highly specific individual profiles and digital footprints are created, and when the data is shared with third parties who can use it for purposes other than the ones listed by who you first gave them to.
It’s my first time hearing of this strip, thanks for sharing. Found it on archive.org, viewable with an account, if anyone is curious.
I don’t think it’s wrong for shops to offer a simple, optional reward program (spend x amount, get y discount) as an incentive to shop there. Often you can enter a fake name and temporary email address or email alias (simplelogin.io has a free plan for aliases).
It’s excessive data collection for targeting advertising, the push to install apps, and dynamic pricing which I strongly oppose, especially when there is a lack of transparency surrounding it.
I’m pretty good at mentally filtering out posts and comments I’m not interested in that come up on my curated home feed. Even in topics I dislike, there can be informative or entertaining discussions so I don’t block unless it’s obvious spam or a bad attempt at trolling.
I also don’t like the low effort comments such as “fuck (unpopular thing on Lemmy)” but then I realized that it doesn’t matter enough to engage with or be annoyed over.
A few that come to mind:
Enough alcohol can do that for you on an individual level.
Yes, male sperm whales possess testes, which are the equivalent of “balls” in other mammals. However, unlike most terrestrial mammals, their testes are internal, located within the abdominal cavity rather than in an external scrotum.
Size: Sperm whale testes are remarkably large, particularly in mature males. A single testis can weigh up to 500 kilograms (over 1,100 pounds), making them among the largest testes in the animal kingdom, both in absolute size and relative to body mass. This enormous size is thought to be an adaptation related to sperm competition, where larger sperm reserves can increase reproductive success.
I don’t set New Year-specific goals anymore since I find that being honest with myself about efforts from any starting point is more helpful than promising to make significant life changes at a specific date. That being said, my general goals are:
I looked up what constitutes a unit of microplastics and the definition I found in this article was “any synthetic solid particle or polymeric matrix, with regular or irregular shape and with size ranging from 1 μm to 5 mm, of either primary or secondary manufacturing origin, which are insoluble in water”.
Because “microplastics” is a broad term that covers particles of varying size, structure, and weight, researchers refer to them in terms of number of particles per unit or total mass of microplastics per sample.
Everything habit you described as a “poor person habits” is just being environmentally conscientious and not being wasteful. It’s good practice regardless of whether you have money or not.
I take immense satisfaction from finding things on sale to the point of delaying buying them until I can get a good deal.
Those are two reputable brands with affordable models. You might be able to find better deals if you search around.
I read that in the voice of a German excited to show you his kitchen.
