superweeniehutjrs, in Unused Airtag slot

3D print an adapter to hold a coin to use on Aldi carts.

aeki, in If you could only listen to someone talk about one topic for the rest of your life, what would it be, and why?

Honestly, nothing. No matter how strong my interest is in something, it will eventually shift dramatically and I’ll have trouble listening to any other thing.

Candelestine, in What's the consensus on swearing here

I swear a lot more irl than I do on here. A lot of a swears value is in the tone you deliver it in, that’s kinda how you communicate which variation/definition of “fuck” you’re actually using, of the huge number of possibilities. This opens up possibilities for humor, expressing subtle (or not so subtle) emotion, etc.

On here, since I lack that fine control, I tend to just revert to using it as an exclamation. And I just don’t do that often, I don’t use exclamation marks very often either.

It just lacks the same value. That’s all, really.

Khanzarate, in Unused Airtag slot

Poker chip maybe.

You can also get a custom AirTag skin and put that skin around something else (probably the poker chip, or a broken AirTag) to have a perfectly sized photo for the slot.

paddirn, in What's the consensus on swearing here

I see swearing as a spice to be used sparingly in our conversations. You don’t want to overdo it, else they lose their effect, you want them there for a purpose or to accentuate a point. I’m not offended by swear words and curse pretty frequently through the day, but in written communication I try to be a bit more thoughtful with how I apply the shit.

Grayox, in People who have made and successfully kept their New Year's resolution, what was it and how did you stay motivated?
@Grayox@lemmy.ml avatar

Made a New Years Resolution to quit drinking and cant believe I’m coming up on one year sober, i stepped down daily starting jan 1st with my least favorite beer drinking less every day for 2 weeks, then after 2 weeks I started drinking Non Alcoholic beer. The last time I tried to quit I did it cold turkey and had terrible Night Terrors, was able to to avoid them this time thanks to the piss water know as Miller Lite. Went from drinking a 6 pack of IPA’S a day for years, to drinking a 6 pack of Non Alcoholic IPAs once a month. Will be quiting beer all together with the New Year!

Congrats, man! Glad to hear that watery crap beer has a use!

Lmao right?! It really made that first NA IPA hit the spot when I finally quit. Last time when I quit cold turkey I literally woke up from night terrors and bulldozed over a dresser next to our bed trying to get away from whatever it was I was dreaming about, almost scared my partner half to death. Withdrawals are a removed and I didn’t have near as many thanks to that piss water haha

Thanks, its still insane to me that I am sober, even quit smoking weed a few months ago after starting up antidepressants. I wasn’t a pot head i just a serotonin deficiency.

planetaryprotection,

Congrats! Check hop water if you haven’t already!

The universe.

Everything that has ever happened has occurred in the universe as far as anyone knows. Including all fiction.

sentient_loom, (edited ) in Why does America say 'merry christmas'?
@sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works avatar

Canada says Merry Christmas even though we usually do British spelling and measurements.

Also, the north pole is either in Canada or Russia (not going to look it up) so we are probably correct.

TonyTonyChopper,
@TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz avatar

The area around the north pole is just ice without any land underneath. It’s also not part of any nation.

Scubus, in What's the consensus on swearing here

Step one: instead of “Ass,” say “Buns” Like “Kiss my buns” or “You’re a buns hole” Step two: instead of “Shit,” say “Poo” As in “Bull-poo,” “Poo-head,” and “This poo is cold” Step three: with bitch, drop the ‘T’ 'Cause “Bich” is Latin for generosity! Step four: don’t say “Fuck” anymore 'Cause “Fuck” is the worst word that you can say So just use the word, “M’kay!”

staindundies,

Because control freak dickheads think you’re being ‘uncivil’. Fuck them and the cat they rode in on.

I try to ease up on the c word when I think I might be replying to an American because I’m aware it has pretty hideous connotations over there.

Dozzi92,
@Dozzi92@lemmy.world avatar

I’m an American and I throw cunt out often enough. I’m from Jersey though and we curse a bunch, and I also was in the Marines, where we cursed a lot. It’s where I picked up the phrase cunt hair, as in the unit of measurement.

Lnrdrople,

Ah, Finnish army also has (or at least had) that unit of measurement, “pillukarva”, literally pussy hair.

Dozzi92,
@Dozzi92@lemmy.world avatar

Is karva related to the Polish kurwa? I’m American and you guys are close to each other in my uneducated estimation, and so I feel like there’s gotta be something there right? And oldest profession is an old word.

Merry Christmas, and thanks for the new word.

hemko,

I doubt. Karva is just any hair, except hair on head (facial hair is still karva though it has also specific words too).
Animal hair can also be karva, but only when it’s “fallen off” such as dog or cat hair sticking your clothes

Lnrdrople,

It sounds similar, but karva is hair. Finnish and Polish are pretty far apart as far as European languages go. Merry Christmas!

AngryCommieKender,

Am American. Can confirm. Tons of cunts here.

You’re a cancer on society. JK I love the word cunt, but yeah some Americans are just as sensitive about a word as they are a titty

LeroyJenkins,

there’s a subset of women here that go absolutely berserk if you call them a cunt in certain contexts. besides them though, its just another curse word here. use it as you please. pretty fun to say sometimes. and if you say it with an aussie accent, you have a free pass to say it whenever you want

lugal,

the c word

communism?

RandomVideos,

This is lemmy so capitalism

LilB0kChoy,

Just use ankle for Americans, it’s less offensive to them and most of them are about three feet lower than a cunt anyways.

jj4211,

You can bet your fanny that we have a stronger connotation for that word here.

Aviandelight,
@Aviandelight@mander.xyz avatar

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.
