I’ve found myself looking for a really good can opener. I purchased my last one, a KitchenAid, from Target and I’ve been disappointed in it the whole time. Sometimes it doesn’t puncture the lid right, and it feels like it got rusty kinda fast–not at all what I want out of a utensil I hoped would last for a decade or more...

I know some places are more progressive in this regard. But from the U.S., I’d like to see every person entitled to:...

As part of my endless and possibly futile quest to be a less pathetic version of myself, I’ve embarked on a campaign to stop watching TV and movies. For me it’s low hanging fruit - some people really love movies, but I honestly can’t remember the last time I watched something that I truly enjoyed. It’s just something to...

Like the title says, what are your favorite lyrics?...

Hi folks. Lemmy noob here, what are we calling the equivalent of subreddits?

I live with my parents (both). I have job....

Asklemmy has been a great place for information and resources. What are other some great resources everyone should know?...

Hey, so i just fucking quit my new job rn. I got offered something better last minute but didn’t wanna be a dick and cancel on them at the last minute, so I went through with it anyways and then QUIT RIGHT AFTER THEY HIRED ME LMFAO. It felt so good man, total payback for all those times I wasted my time interviewing only to...

I like seeing what other people have done to get reprimanded. It’s kind of funny to me, and I love the transparency....

Please read the rules before posting!...

I was wondering if the search engines are indexing the fediverse. Because recently Google search became so bad so I was always putting Reddit at the end to get some not so generic results and I haven’t even noticed to get any replies pointing to the fediverse ever. So I was wondering if search engines were actually indexing...

I bought a piece of 1.5 inch stiff foam to try to fix a sag in a bed. It didn’t work but having that thick piece of solid foam around has been a life saver....

Lil’ cross-post from Lemmy.ca....

I’ve seen only few GIFs on Lemmy. Most of them are just links but I’ve see a handful that were actually animated within the apps (I forget which app it was maybe Memmy). Is there a reason for the lack of GiFs?

I’ll start: My first GF and I didn’t use protection. We used the pull out technique. FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR! I was 19 and could have ruined my life then and there.

So, I get that someone is trying to populate this community with posts using the lemmit.online bot. And that the vast majority of us are coming from Reddit. And that AITA is a staple community that we’re used to seeing in our feeds....

So, yes, I am a reddit refugee. I have played around a bit in lemmy with liftoff & lemmy.world and so far it’s great....

here’s some I’ve noticed:...

i’ve grown increasingly, increasingly tired of youtube lately. the exhausting shorts advertised everywhere, overwhelming thumbnails, sensory overload and just generally a really piss poor site. Is there anywhere someone like me can turn to?

Be it Lemmy, Mastodon, or some other instance on some other service.

Curious how lemmy servers are paid for. Is it donation?

i can’t stand megathreads – no one reads these! no one wants their posts banished there!

For me it has to be:...

What game is it and how are you doing?...

I’d love to be able to click on a link and have it open in a new tab rather than in the current tab, without having to specifically right-click and tell it to do so. This was the behavior I had set up back on reddit, though I don’t recall if that was a built-in feature or part of RES, and it makes browsing a lot more...
