Lauchs, in What experience crushed your soul?

I fully admit, I thought a crushing trump defeat and a dual chamber Clinton victory would finally force the Republican party back to sanity.

Back in those days, I dunno, I didn’t exactly think we’d solve problems like climate change or sweatshops but they weren’t beyond all possibility.

intensely_human, in Are Americans more prone to conspiracy theories than people in other countries?

Yes we are! It’s a result of all the subliminal messaging we receive from our kitchen appliances.

Silentiea,

That’s why you cook everything on a wood fire in the middle of your kitchen.

Make sure you punch a hole in the roof for the smoke!

Ludicrous Display football club, sponsored by Reynholm Industries.

morphballganon, in Are Americans more prone to conspiracy theories than people in other countries?

We see a lot of efforts to convince suckers of absurdities in the US because there’s a lot of economic value in swinging American votes.

In other countries that either don’t have voting, or don’t have a lot of economic power, there’s less to be gained by befuddling morons.

jaxxed,

There is a hidden assumption in your comment: conspiracy theories are intentionally created or reinforced with specific strategic goals.

While I think that it’s probably rare, there have been conspiracy theories that are intentionally crafted to achieve goals.

And I am very sure that there have been many efforts to amplify existing conspiracies; you can look at disinformation research.

jaxxed,

I think that the majority of conspiracy theories are asroturfed, even those that actually started as grass roots. The Russians clearly admit that reinforcing propaganda rhat sticks, is a big part of their strategy.

morphballganon, in Can anyone recommend a countertop microwave with a SILENT DOOR?

Put an extra regular microwave in the garage/den/faraway room so the noise isn’t an issue

JimmyBigSausage, (edited ) in Can anyone recommend a countertop microwave with a SILENT DOOR?

Reason I’m asking is I am wanting to buy one. I find most of them so jolting I have put off having one for a long time.

ani, in What's the best football team and why?

Lemmy McLemmyface FC (Football Club)

ryathal, in What's the best football team and why?

SCLSU Mud dogs.

RatsOffToYa, in Can anyone recommend a countertop microwave with a SILENT DOOR?

This might sound crazy, but when the kids are asleep I hold the microwave door button in as I shut it. It’s pretty darn quiet

JimmyBigSausage,

Good idea. What are you microwaving at night? Now I’m hungry!

dan1101,

I just microwaved some popcorn and yeah I used the hold the button trick.

Watch TV, eat, and enjoy the childless night

Easy, San Francisco 49ers. Five time Super Bowl winner and they have two of the best QBs in NFL history.

Jackthelad, in What's the best football team and why?

Wolverhampton Wanderers, obviously.

If you just remove the 10 teams above them in the league, they’d be winning!

Buy the thinnest adhesive weather stripping you can find, and stick a patch in the appropriate place between the door and latch area. That’s the zone that makes the KERCHUNK.

If you yell the moment it closes you should effectively muffle the noise of it closing.

BloodSlut,

ah, the tactical velcro method

nilloc,

Fake sneeze works too.

    Are you worried about a statute of limitations? Why the definition of time?

    I just tell my microwave to be quiet, I have to ask very politely

    wesker,
    @wesker@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

    Whenever I accidentally make a loud noise late at night, I always have to say “jee-sus” under my breath, just in case anyone heard it they know it wasn’t my intention.

    mexicanmamba, in Thunderbird or Betterbird. What is better on Windows?
    @mexicanmamba@lemmy.world avatar
