Wahyu915, in Are you replacing Reddit with Lenny?

Still in its infancy, most of the posts/information i want to search still come from reddit. But the content I’m seeing here so far has been good.

kei, in Breakfast suggestions?

I’ve been enjoying overnight oats over the last few months. It’s super easy to make and you can meal prep it the night before.

I usually make it with oat milk, honey, and peanut butter topped with granola for some extra texture.

I’ve been eating this as breakfast as well for probably over a year now. Can’t say that I’ve been enjoying them because the taste is pretty bland, but they sure are healthy and help a lot with digestion.

I make them super bland though, just rolled oats with double their weight in milk.
Before I added some maple syrup to give it some flavour, but then I tried to reduce calories in my meals and this kind of stuck.

kei,

I think the neat thing is that you can make it how you want. Fruits, honey, and other standard oatmeal toppings can make it quite enjoyable.

keenanpepper, in How often do you brush your teeth?

I have a pattern which really works for me where I wake up, brush my night guard and brush my teeth with no toothpaste and then eat breakfast. That way I don’t have the horrible mint toothpaste / orange juice clash I’m sure many of you are familiar with.

Then at night I floss and brush with toothpaste, and put in the night guard.

I used to make myself floss only every other day (like if I didn’t floss last night I MUST floss tonight), which I highly recommend rather than sporadic or no flossing. But I recently upped my game to “every night except special occasions”.

CmdrShepard,

But I recently upped my game to “every night except special occasions”.

I’d like to think you record these days in your calendar in advance as if they’re something to look forward to like birthdays or Christmas.

FilipR, in What is something you think leftists are not ready to hear but need to hear it?

The leftists have become a corpo/billionaires shills since occupy wall street happened.

Since 2012 the left ceased to exist in the mainstream. Class issues that the left raised before the takeover ware replaced by identity politics. Labels were introduced and Massed Formation Psychosis was initiated. All dissidents of even a slightly different opinion were attacked/cancelled en masse. Freedom of speech, religion, was now seen as archaic, nuclear families were seen as dangerous, racism and segregation were accepted ect.

Psychosis reached it’s peak in 2020 when people had more time to reflect on their views in their time of isolation from coronavirus and subsequently more and more people were coming to their senses.

The scales are starting to swing back but in my opinion due to the sheer momentum of people waking up this will have catastrophic consequences for the western civilization.

Currently still there are no sensible/uncompromised leftist movements left and the only alternatives are on the right. And, like I said above, this will have catastrophic consequences.

Coreidan, in Are you replacing Reddit with Lenny?

Not really. I stopped using Reddit and even though I am using lemmy it so far hasn’t been a true replacement. Overall my engagement has gone down hill significantly. I might check lemmy once or twice a day. I used to be on Reddit all day. Ultimately this is better for me overall. Even if I wanted to there just isn’t enough content for lemmy to be a replacement for my Reddit usage.

yggdar, in Breakfast suggestions?

Welcome to the club of lactose intolerance! If, like me, you really like dairy, there is a very easy way to cheat the system… (Seriously, how would anyone survive without cheese?)

You can get lactase tablets. Those are little pills full of lactase, which is the protein that breaks down lactose into digestible simple sugars. All you have to do is take a lactase tablet when you eat anything with lactose, and you can continue to live your life like before.

Lactose intolerance is not black and white either. You may have some tolerance left, which may be enough to eat your cereal with milk, if that is the inly lactose you have during the day. Your tolerance can also fluctuate over time. For example, the first time I had an issue with lactose it only lasted a few weeks.

I always have tablets with me! Every time I’m eating out and am not 100% sure that the food is vegan, I take a table just to be sure. I can imagine that cooks slip in butter or cream to improve the taste.

I can have a bit of milk. But I have it with coffee, and any more than that gives me gas. I’ll talk to my doctor about lactase pills, thank you for letting me know.

yggdar,

My pleasure! And unless the rules are different where you live, you don’t need to see a doctor or get a prescription. Here (Belgium) you can easily get them from pharmacies or online.

SexualPolytope,

It’s over the counter here, so I don’t NEED to see a doctor. But my doctor is a friend, so doesn’t hurt to consult for free.

Moghul, in Breakfast suggestions?

Just get lactose-free milk. I’m lactose intolerant af and I have a cappuccino every morning made with lactose-free milk.

SexualPolytope,
@SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

What kind? I tried soy milk and didn’t like it.

Moghul,

There’s just straight up lactose free real milk. It’s milk with the enzyme we don’t have, already in it.

cccc,

There’s a big variance in taste across soy milks. There’s only two brands I’ll tolerate and I’m pretty sure they both come from the same factory.

youthinkyouknowme, in Where do you go on Lemmy for reliable news and politics?

I wouldn’t rely too much on lemmy for news and politics tbh, because posts can sway on way or another or even not get traction because most people don’t agree with it. Instead I think it’s better something like a RSS feed where you can pick your sources, or maybe just check a couple of less biased news outlets, so you can somehow have a more broad overview of what’s going from different perspectives.

randombullet, in Breakfast suggestions?

Oat milk imo is the closest tasting to milk.

However, I’d use this opportunity to buy some frozen fruits and some protein powder to make smoothies.

Takes me 2 minutes to make the smoothies.

Grey, in Where do you go on Lemmy for reliable news and politics?

As much as I hate YouTube advertisers, I like ground news a lot as an aggregator site.

infamousbelgian, in Are you replacing Reddit with Lenny?

Ditched Reddit, never looked back. It’s waaaaay better here. Even running my own instance because why not? :)

monobot, in Where do you go on Lemmy for reliable news and politics?

For international politics I watch and read news sources from India, they are somewhat biased against Pakistan (thou, I believe, even there are truthful) and for everything else looks quite neutral.

I don’t think there is any reliable source for US politics, too much interests are in play and even if someone is truthful and reliable I don’t know how to assess that. But I do take a look at Democracy Now since they don’t sound sensationalistic.

small44, in Where do you go on Lemmy for reliable news and politics?

I don’t

ejsexton82,

I learned on Reddit not to trust any world news or political news posts. I was tricked a couple of times by fake posts. I still browse the posts, but I take everything I read with a grain of salt.

I use news apps for my news.

pedantichedgehog, in How often do you brush your teeth?
@pedantichedgehog@sh.itjust.works avatar

I floss and brush religiously every night, have for many years. I had a cavity when I was young and the whole experience was terrible.

I still ended up with multiple cavities as an adult.

LwL, in inverting shift key function on Windows

You have a few options, one is sharpkeys as people mentioned, alternatively there’s also the microsoft keyboard layout creator that lets you make a custom keyboard layout where the two are swapped.

If you only want to activate it temporarily, you could also use autohotkey to define a hotkey that makes you type a colon instead of a semicolon and vice versa until you switch it off.
