I used to check the front page at least once every day, and occassionally check specific subreddits. Now I don’t look at reddit unless theres some drama, like mods getting purged, then I’d go there and enjoy the drama. Occasionally there will be questions that only reddit has the answer to so I have to reluctantly use it. I...
Me personally no, I quit on June 11th and I haven’t looked back. My husband on the other hand looks at it periodically. He showed my something from r/PartyParrot yesterday thinking it was cool and I had to tell him it was a popular repost. Pretty much cemented the fact that I’m not missing anything.
Last time, I used: “Anybody need anything while I’m out?” and that went over well. May not make it through this surgery on Friday, so I turn to Lemmy for top-notch suggestions for my potential last words!
I had a very stodgy surgeon and I actually got a laugh out of him. He checked in with me pre surgery and as he was leaving said he would see me in the OR and I was like I hope I don’t see you (meaning I hoped the anesthesia worked). No one else got what I meant except for him and he had a genuine chuckle.
American here. I try to remember that other folks outside the US don’t have the same negative association we do with that word. It certainly helps ease the stigma I have for it when it’s said in good fun in a conversation. I still can’t bring myself to say it or write it often though.
An extreme version of this is: What should the German health service do if someone says they are willing to donate a kidney as long as it doesn’t go to a Jew?...
The last time I used one of these was buying drywall because it only comes in two sizes with no in-between, too damn big and patch kits that are good for nothing.
I love bridges. If I see a cool looking bridge, I want to cross it, especially if it goes somewhere that I’m not familiar with. Same with stairs outdoors. They feel like an adventure to me.
Seeing the moon and stargazing in general. Oh and everytime I see a picture come back from the Perseverance Rover. I just look at them in absolute wonder and still find it unbelievable that we have clear pictures coming back from Mars. Every new picture is like Xmas for me.
I worked at a mom and pop hardware store in college. I learned more practical information there than I did in school. I even got good enough to sell power tools, mowers, and chainsaws. We didn’t get commission or anything like that but it was a point of pride to be able to answer customers questions and make a sale.
For some reason the person who made the pattern decided the letter D must be in this four different ways for the key. This one was very tricky regardless and I can’t wait to give it to my mother.
Grippy socks are standard issue for all in-patients in most US hospitals because they prevent falls and the floor is nasty. Seriously please wear them during your stay.
Be honest, do you still use reddit?

What movie did you rewatch most often?
For me, it’s either the Matrix or Pulp Fiction. I have seen both a lot of times but certainly not more often than say a dozen times.
What's an amusing thing to say before going under general anesthesia?

Should an altruistic organ donor be allowed to restrict their donation to a specific group of people? (e.g. women, gingers)
