Varyk, in Are those rust spots?

Yes, that is rust, but it’s in no way dangerous, and you can also scrape it off with any abrasive scrub if you don’t like the look of it

Looks like it could be rust. Even if it it’s, that’s not really a problem. You can probably get rid of the rust by cleaning the teapot a bit better next time.

I don’t see any problem with continuing to use it in the future. If you’re worried about microbes colonizing the place, remember two things:

  1. When not in use, keep it empty and dry.
  2. Clean it every now and then.

BTW, aren’t teapots usually ceramic?

I’m not a health expert, take this with a grain of salt. I’d be disappointed it was rusting, but also mostly shrug it off and keep using it unless it gets bad and flaky/scaley

gatelike, in What popular quote are you tired of hearing?

“actually we’re a republic” when someone defends democracy

Well technically, we’re a constitutional monarchy with the King of Canada as our nominal head of state. Gosh. Though I wouldn’t mind opening that discussion.

SiriusCybernetics,

Now that’s interesting. Always thought it didn’t make a whole lot of sense strictly speaking. Never realized he intended the “a”.

Psythik, in Why are 90% of the images WebP format?

I thought webp was just a container format?

Turun,

No, it’s an image compression format derived from the VP8 codec.

Cqrd, in Why are people reacting surprised about the events in Israel?

A hundred years, and no, not quite. The myth of them being at war for hundreds of years is spread mostly by evangelical Christians who want to sow divide.

They’ve mostly been in a “peaceful” state recently where Israel has been treating Palestinians as a sort of worse apartheid state. This has allowed for build up of a terroristic group (Hamas) that performed a massive surprise attack, some believe with the backing of Iran. Hamas is basically the ISIS of Palestine. This attack was a surprise because Israel has been relying heavily on technology to spy on and suppress any threats, but Hamas planned their attacks without technology. If Hamas wins, things won’t necessarily be better for Palestine, they’ll just have different oppressors.

Israel is definitely bad here, but Hamas isn’t great. Everyone doing the fighting sucks, the civilians are the only good people involved in this and they’re being massacred. Everyone here deserves better.

Ilovethebomb, in What popular quote are you tired of hearing?

“think of how stupid the average person is, and then think half of them are dumber than that”

So heavily overused.

Neither. Wiping is a waste of potential ammunition that I could use against my enemies.
Monkeys flinging poop. Relevant note: the avatar of the user sending this message shows a smoking chimp.

Not a quote, just a single word that’s overused to death, and you can probably already guess the word…

“Woke”

Just shut the fuck up! Please please please just shut up!

HooPhuckenKarez, in What popular quote are you tired of hearing?

Pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Especially when used by people claiming to have done just that.

Xariphon,

Especially when you consider that it was coined to refer to literally impossible action. It's not meant to be about self-reliance or whatever, it's something that cannot be done.

XEAL, in What popular quote are you tired of hearing?

“You must be funny at parties”

Specially if you’re not around, bitch

Sprite, in Why are 90% of the images WebP format?
@Sprite@lemmy.ml avatar

Yesss! If apps accepted webp, I’d be fine, but many things like Discord and so on don’t accept it, at least for avatars.

Dark_Arc,
@Dark_Arc@social.packetloss.gg avatar

Discord is such a pain in terms of sticking to ancient stuff and having arbitrary limits.

I wish it hadn’t taken off like it did… But it was free so ofc…

IronKrill,

The other services at the time had many more limits or annoyances, hence why Discord has the userbase it does today.

Anticorp, in What popular quote are you tired of hearing?

“I could care less”.

Oh really? How much less?

Noel_Skum,

I thought that was the joke: I could care less… but I can’t even be bothered to care any less because I care so little.

Anticorp,

It’s just people saying it wrong, like “bone apple tea” instead of " bon appetit". It’s supposed to be “I couldn’t care less”. But I mean come on, these are the same people who searched for “Michael Jackson Billy’s Jeans” so often on YouTube that it became a recommended search term. Lol.

MMbhJkpW3a3i,

It can be interpreted as sarcasm, as in “tell me more, I could care even less.”
