ech, in Little Caesar's [beetlemoses]

I get it’s referencing the back rooms, but I don’t get why. No location I’ve ever been to looked anything like that.

bionicjoey,

I think the joke is that nobody ever actually enters LC. They just order from there. So there would be no way of knowing if it was actually secretly an entrance to the backrooms

PuzzledBlueberry,

Every LC I’ve ever seen is takeout only… You have to go inside to get the pizza

GiantRobotTRex,

I remember in-store dining at Little Caesars in the '90s but nowadays all the ones I know of are takeout only.

deleteme,

This could have been an episode of Reply All, from their “Yes, yes, no” segment. It would go down the Backrooms rabbit hole and back up reminiscing about cheap Little Caesar’s.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

I order for pickup and it looks like this.

But now that you mentioned it, what is their back room? Do they even have a kitchen?

Or do they all just go to the Little Caesars Dimension and through the Pizza Portal and fetch us some Hot-and-Readys by negotiating with the outer gods?

bionicjoey,

The door to the back is a portal to the elemental plane of pizza. Employees dip into the back to slay a pizza elemental and harvest its crust whenever they run out of dipping sticks.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Oh wow TIL

Kase,

Hey um I’m sorry but I’ve been seeing you here for months and I just have to know: is there a story/meaning behind your username choice?? If so please please tell me the lore. I want to know. I need to know.

People order delivery from little Caesars? I didn’t even know they had delivery.

IMongoose,

For real. They’re going to get a $5-$6 pizza delivered to them for $15-$20? Are they nuts? Go get real food.

jayandp,

They partnered with DoorDash a few years ago, and its one of those one driver=multiple stops things. Which means your pizza is usually cold by the time it gets to you.

Cries in piano

MadBigote,

What do you spend money on? After I bought my piano and bench, I haven’t really spent any more money on it. Although the piano and bench are more than enough to call the hobby “expensive”.

Nomecks, (edited )

Better pianos, mainly lol

Passerby6497,

Wall to wall pianos… pianos IN the walls

Nomecks, (edited )

It’s more like cheap keyboard -> cheap digital piano -> not cheap digital piano -> baby grand and then the sky’s the limit after that! Also you’ll probably need a bigger house at some point.

I find it difficult to sleep on my back. I used to sleep on my side but I think that lead to a bit of QL aggravation.

Super cosy sleeping on my front though.

coaxil,

QL ??

vikingtons,
@vikingtons@lemmy.world avatar

sorry - quadratus lumborum. A deep abdominal muscle which tends to cause complaints of lower back pain when its tight.

coaxil,

Ah right, thank you, I got someone to read up on n now also, thank you :)

vikingtons,
@vikingtons@lemmy.world avatar

no worries. definitely worth looking into & looking after.

cashews_best_nut,

quadratus lumborum

Holy shit that’s the bastard that hurts and tightens when I don’t walk around enough or I lay on the sofa too long on my back.

When I get up my back will be bent forward and tight. It feels so tight round the back and inside it feels like I’m shorter at the waist. Weird, horrible feeling. It goes away if I pivot round on my hips and walk round a bit.

I’ve found what aggravates it most is if I’m on my back and have my legs up. Basically the more L-shaped my body is on it’s side or back (legs up) the worse it gets. If I do lots of walking or running it loosens it up.

Motherfucking QL - I see you now you bastard. I know where you live! I know what you look like! I’m gonna fuck you up!

vikingtons,
@vikingtons@lemmy.world avatar

Glad you have it figured out!

I’d recommend checking in with a professional (GP, physiotherapist, sports masseuse) if you need to get that tightness worked through. You can try get at it yourself with something small and firm like a lacrosse or golf ball but it’s pretty tricky to get at this muscle yourself given how deep it is. I’ve managed to relieve it on occasion lying on my back with a lacrosse ball wedged under. I move it around the area in a gentle circular motion for a little while, then bring the knee of the tight side to my chest, then extend it again.

Tight hamstrings and sleepy glutes exacerbate the issue, and I’d recommend a short routine of lower body static stretches (28-30s each) for your QLs, hams hips and so on before bed (and maybe some shorter, more active mobility exercises when you wake up too). kinda boring on its own but pretty great with a podcast on.

And as you’ve already found, staying mobile helps a great deal. if you work behind a desk, it could be worth looking into something adjustable so you can stand whenever you’d like.

tamal3,

I’m not a doctor, but some combination of deadlifts and running have saved my lower back. I notice a huge difference in my back pain if I don’t workout for a while – these last few weeks of snow mean I’m not running as much, and the pain of NOT moving sufficiently is different and worse than the soreness from weightlifting! It’s surprisingly noticable.

cashews_best_nut,

Appreciate it but I’ve always found “lifting heavy” sssssoooooooooo fecking boring!!! I’d sooner do 30-60mins of intense Ashtanga yoga, a JJ class or even a quick run. The thought of lifting heavy objects puts me to sleep.

I used to own a load of weights and a rack. I spent hundreds on a home gym but after 6 months I wanted to murder everyone and myself! It was SO frustrating. I dunno how people do it cos it just isn’t for me. I’m getting on a bit (40) so I defo need to do something to keep myself active. I may go back to yoga. Ashtanga has lots of static bodyweight holds & lifts so it’s not just stretching.

tamal3,

I hear that, and fun music is how I enjoy it. I listen to a lot of reggaeton and cumbia. Knowing that I’m getting stronger, and improving my future living standard, are also plenty motivating. Like I said, back pain and then no back pain? I’ll do it.

It also scared the shit out of me to realize that some people my age couldn’t do an air squat… I don’t want to get old like that!

But, movement and strengthening in general is where it’s at. This works for me, but whatever keeps you interested. I don’t mean to make this an ad for my exercise routine!

Is that worse than having knowledge curated by only a few?

Viking_Hippie,

Both are awful in each their own way and we’re so goddamn lucky that they don’t even cancel each other out, they MULTIPLY each other! Wee!

corsicanguppy,

It depends on which few.

Religiofascists curating science? Dark ages.

Scientists curating religion? Grifter cults die, only vegan, wicca and Buddhism remains as religions, but everything is well-recorded and studied in its sunset.

Military curating education? “IM DOING MY PART!”

Military curating science? MOAR BOMMS

We could rock-paper-scissors-lizard-spock the shit out of this. We could, but should we?

quaddo,

Conjecture, or did this happen? If it happened, where and when?

corsicanguppy,

It can only BE conjecture. Read the room. Remember the grifter cults are still out there. Do math. How is this a question?

I love that the outdoor cat is missing an eye. A for accuracy.

Kusimulkku,

I’m surprised that didn’t rustle much jimmies.

You leave my board games out of this

wahming,

It’s not niche! There are dozens of us!

I think I found that Petroff article if anyone is interested: doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.1504.02165

For years I thought this settled the source of FRBs, from the headlines

Ilovethebomb,

And they knew it was terrestrial in origin, because only one dish picked it up, whereas if it was was of outerstellar origin, multiple sites would have received it.

Harbinger01173430, in Someone talk to me about Go (the board game). I'm in the process of learning it right now.

Why is that game named Five in Japanese if they have more than five pieces?

Baines,

it is the number of people to ever have won the game

CryptidBestiary, in Little Caesar's [beetlemoses]

As a person who’s been in a Little Caesar’s, can confirm. That’s why the pizzas are so cheap, you must escape a liminal space first

funkless_eck,

if the space serves a purpose (must be escaped from) is it liminal any more and is actually now a locus?

feedum_sneedson, in Someone talk to me about Go (the board game). I'm in the process of learning it right now.

These were the group at college with the collective smell playing Magic: The Gathering. I suppose mild autism, or what used to be called Aspergers. Never disliked them, but they were certainly different. I’m likely somewhere on the spectrum, and not just because “it’s a spectrum”, but it didn’t quite manifest like that for me.

dreugeworst,

Are you saying they were oddballs who happened to play magic, or oddballs because they played magic?

feedum_sneedson,

I’m not sure how it could flow from the cards to the people, but I suppose they are magic. And there was usually a gathering. So anything is possible.

NigelFrobisher,

I used to play MTG and can confirm the places I played almost always had that stale sweat smell.

papertowels, (edited )

You know, I always associated dirty, smelly degenerates with magic until I started playing - (I validated that by being the dirty smelly degenerate 😉) it was interesting finding out that potentially due to the high cost of the decks, a good part of the playerbase actually really had their shit together. We’re talking engineers, pediatricians, lawyers etc. who could afford to throw $500 down on cardboard. Enough folks were married that my wife started calling the place “husband daycare”

Of course the smelly smell still made an appearance, I was able to determine if a particular person was in the local game store (LGS) by smell alone, the moment I walked into the store.

feedum_sneedson, in Found him [Martin Rosner]

Well, I don’t get this at all.

Anticorp,

You’re not alone. Hey! Maybe we’re the main characters too?

Staying a virgin is easy. Just develop a shitty personality or maybe even a personality disorder like I did and viola, you are now a forever virgin.

However, living as a virgin is much more difficult. Between self-loathing and depression, you could turn suicidal. Again like I did.

TheRealLinga,

Sorry to hear man, I hope you have found some way to move on and enjoy life

fckreddit,

At this point, the best I can do is hope. I am lost. Thanks though.
