Nemo, in What the fuck are bagged eggs?

It’s a vegetarian Scotch egg, basically.

jaybone,

WeLL tHatS NoT WHaT THEY SAID in thE oTHER threaD sMart GuY!!!

puppy, in Why is this sub so against jokes and more lighthearted posts?

I just double checked top 20 posts sorted by “hot”. Only 2 has any relation to Software. Zero posts relating to Linux. Is there a particular post you have in mind?

otter, in Why is this sub so against jokes and more lighthearted posts?

Was there a particular post you wanted to see answered? I see a decent variety usually

droning_in_my_ears, in Why is there no community devoted to vinly preservation?

Be the change you want to see in the world :)

Godnroc, in Be honest: if you had the power to stop time, your morals would go out the window.

Losing my morals? Goodness no! My morals would be the only thing left, as there would be no one who could stop me. Justice for the wronged, help for the needy, and punishment for the wicked that knows no limits.

Is there a tyrant that threatens peace? Bound and delivered to the United nations. A disaster trapping civilians? Every injured person into the first hospital bed available, worldwide in a moment. Hell, I could read every medical book ever and become the most studied doctor ever.

Socsa,

Yeah but you’d walk through the occasional locker room too. You know, when it makes sense for like, justice and stuff.

Cosmicomical, (edited )

What are you, twelve? You have a superpower like this, you’re going to get all the partners you want

Tangent5280, (edited )

Bound and delivered to…

Bruh you’re a better person than me. Aint nobody got the time to drag over some weak ass hitler wanna be halfway over the world. Much rather just grenade diplomacy them wherever they are, as another lemming mentioned in this thread.

EDIT: Just occurred to me that this would actually entail investigating and confirming their crimes beyond all doubt. Now I understand the appeal of just dropping them off somewhere with people qualified and trained to do that.

GiveMemes, (edited )

Lmao yeah but what about when somebody pisses you off? Like that’s kinda the whole point of this question but good job taking some weird moral high ground ig?

Also, what if your ideas about “wicked” and “good” aren’t the same as mine?

For example one of us could see Xi Jinping and the Chinese government as quite evil and actively carrying out a genocide, while the other of us might believe that to be western propaganda and that the Chinese government is generally benign.

What about when the death of the wicked means a power vacuum and strife for a region a la American imperialism?

Anyway just trying to get some interesting conversation related to the topic at hand.

I mean think of if someone pisses you off now, you don’t automatically go and fuck with them anonymously, even though it’s infinitely easy to do.

aldalire,

Goes to show that morals aren’t a hindrance, but a guide. Without morals, who are we?

droning_in_my_ears, (edited ) in Why is this sub so against jokes and more lighthearted posts?

I mean that’s just what this sub is for and that’s fine.

It’s a shame that the more specific communities aren’t bigger so they’d be more active.

thorbot, (edited ) in What's the most satisfying thing that's happened at a job you've had?

I was the service manager at an Apple Authorized Service Provider and some rich fuckwit brought in his top-end MacBook Pro he bought a few weeks earlier that he’d spilled water all over. It was completely unresponsive and all the water indicator stickers were flagging, so he’d have to pay a large fee and he opted to just buy a new one. I had him sign a release form, I removed all the water indicator stickers, disassembled and carefully cleaned the entire thing and put it back together. Sent it in to Apple for a warranty replacement and they replaced the entire unit except the display and sent it back to me good as new. That was 10 years ago and I still use the device daily for 3D modeling and rendering and it’s still an absolute beast.

____,

Well played.

thorbot,

Best scam ever. Too bad you can’t do it any more. Ah, the old days where it was just stickers tattling on your accidental damage

!vinyl is the community I‘m subscribed to.

Post your collections, we could use more interactions.

LUHG_HANI, in Spotify Wrapped 2023 is out, what's your top artist and top song for the year?

Marsh has been on a mad run this year doing All-night long 5 hour sets across the UK and USA.

LongbottomLeaf,

Tritonal and Above & Beyond! Are the kids still smearing Vicks on each other? Good times.

LUHG_HANI,
@LUHG_HANI@lemmy.world avatar

The scene is still good, I’m not clued up on the Vicks but from searching no, it’s not common at all now but rolling is still 90% of the crowd. Went to a Stu Allen memorial show last week with my mates dad, the 50s crowd still got it, glow sticks and whistles.

More Anjunadeep these days for me. Jody Wisternoff (Way out west) and James Grant (Jonos Brother). They luckily do a lot of shows near me so it’s quite available but we travel for them.

Never been to a tritonal event or artist show actually, quite new to me these.

LongbottomLeaf,

That’s good to hear. I always had fun there.

It’s an old joke referencing some TV show or movie, I forget. A Reefer Madness sort of vibe but for MDMA and the whole scene. “Kids smearing Vicks on each other, eating drugs that take ice cream scoops out of their brains,” or something along those lines, real pearl-clutchy. My friends and I thought it was hilarious and started leaning into it. “Oh yeah, huge scoops, and we slather the Vicks on with trowels.”

Takes me back. Spin some glow sticks for me the next time you go. And stay hydrated!

theKalash, in What could my upstairs neighbor possibly be doing to make this much noise?

Are there people who really just get the top floor, and think “I’m so smart, and everyone else can get fucked”

They won’t look so smart in the summer.

droning_in_my_ears, in why is it so difficult select text from posts?

I use Eternity and it lets you copy text

Go on, start a community!

otter, in Why is there no community devoted to vinly preservation?

There are some here, but I’m not familiar with the topic so you should judge them

lemmyverse.net/communities?query=Vinyl

If there isn’t one that fits, consider making one or taking over an existing one to change it :)

Chances are that other people are interested too but no one has taken the initiative

theKalash, in Why is there no community devoted to vinly preservation?

I’ve several vinyl rips in my music collection. But storing the actual record seems pointless.

bionicjoey, in What companies have made your blacklist?

The only one I truly boycott to that extent is Wal-Mart. It’s just so incredibly easy. There’s always another place to get the thing.

Pyr_Pressure,

Same man, Walmart just makes me depressed if I need to go there.

Unfortunately my grandpa is dutch and wants me to pick things up for him there sometimes 🤣

DerisionConsulting,

What does being from the Netherlands have to do with shopping at Walmart?

WalrusDragonOnABike,

It might be about what his grandpa will do to Pyr if Pyr doesn't go to walmart for him.

Pyr_Pressure,

Well if you were from the Netherlands and starving because the Nazis stole your cows and gouda cheese you would also want to try and save every damn penny you can.

@jballs@sh.itjust.works avatar

I’ve been boycotting Walmart for over 20 years. In that time, there was only one thing I couldn’t find anywhere else but there. After buying it, I found it at Costco shortly after. I was never so happy to return an item in my entire life. I even signed for the return on the fanciest cursive “Fuck Walmart” that I could muster.
