MrsDoyle, to mildlyinteresting in Hieroglyphic Nest in the Temple of Edfu, Egypt

Ha ha yes - bees with horns, what a thought!

MrsDoyle, to mildlyinteresting in Hieroglyphic Nest in the Temple of Edfu, Egypt

Unbelievably, the hieroglyph next to the bird is a bee. It’s like whoever designed it had never seen a bee, but had them described by someone who knew someone whose cousin was stung by a bee that one time.

MrsDoyle, to asklemmy in What is the most unhelpful advice you have received?

Some of the churches where I live have a big banner outside that says, “Try praying”. It strikes me as comically desperate. Imagine a car dealership with a “Try driving” banner, a restaurant with “Try eating”.

MrsDoyle, to asklemmy in Be honest, do you still use reddit?

I was searching for a fix for some MS bullshit and clicked on a link that had a good answer… and lo and behold, Reddit. “Came for the cats, stayed for the empathy.” Yes, they still have that on the banner. Lol!!

I deleted my account during the “strike”, and this was my first time back. I couldn’t upvote the poster, and for a second that made me sad.

MrsDoyle, to asklemmy in What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?

My father, a union organiser: “You can love the company all you like, but the company will never love you back.”

Stood me in good stead down the years.
