The reasoning is some dog urine effected dead spots. Honestly I didn’t even notice them, it’s 95° here and all the...

I see a lot of posts lately, mainly in ‘world news’ communities, that when I investigate their source, I cannot come to any other conclostion that purposefully spreading of fake news and propaganda on lemmy....

I’m curious as to how many here choose to use Discord over Matrix and pay them for the Nitro subscription.

I never want to lose photos I’ve taken over the years. What’s the best solution to make sure they’re saved?

Was just thinking that there should be doctor clubs, where a bunch of people pool their money to hire a dedicated general physician. Or to have a shared tailor, or group cafeteria, or whatever....

When I get a lack of sleep (or especially multiple nights of bad sleep), I often have a splitting headache the next day that makes me unfunctional and worsens until I get more sleep.
