Funny, I was just watching some lockdown-era Tested videos and was wondering what that tattoo was on Adam’s arm. Reminds me of my mechanic friends with a 10mm socket tattooed so that “they’ll never lose it”

Depends on your lifestyle ofc but a cheap 6’ tape measurer keychain has come in clutch more times than I can count. Within the past week I’ve used it to

measure the hatch of my car to see if a box could fit

compared a 14" pizza to a 17" to my friend group to figure what size pizza to buy

measured an entire house worth of soffit

The thing was like $5 and honestly gets more use out of anything in my EDC except maybe my earbuds and even then I barely touch them since graduating from uni

I do, and it’s not for entirely altruistic reasons either.

When I’d open a thread on reddit, if I wasn’t there within the first hour of being up or first dozen or so comments, it was almost guaranteed that whatever I said would get buried and the effort I spent formulating my comment would basically be wasted. So there was very little incentive to engage with meaningful discussion just for the sake of discussion. On Lemmy, most posts struggle to get over a hundred comments at most, and even more struggle to get past ten. So, if I spend time developing my reply, I have a higher chance of that comment getting seen and other people in the community engaging with me, which is the entire point of leaving comments, IMO.

If you have any books you’ve been putting off on reading, nows the time to start.

Pretty much any Joanna Newsom lyric could qualify but this line,

“Scrape your knee it is only skin.”

Goosebumps every time. It’s such a cathartic lyric that the song has been building to for almost 12 minutes.

I don’t know if you’re being serious or not but modern socialism pretty much began with the Nazis.

Honestly? The abolition of democracy/representative government.

This isn’t necessarily what you want to hear but why are you getting a Chromebook? I’m assuming it’s required for your school, in which case I’d get the cheapest one you can live with

I was listening to this like an hour ago! Me and my partner are going as Greg and Wirt for Halloween this year

I think it’s trying to use the word “fit” as an “epileptic fit.” As in, “he doesn’t fit” in his clothes" = he doesn’t have epileptic fits when wearing these clothes. I could be off the mark completely but that’s the only explanation I can think of

I agree. Short and ugly people should be thrown away

I honestly don’t need to RIS much but I’ve anecdotally heard good things about Yandex Image Search. Specifically for… ahem sensitive searches

If you haven’t already, check out the V/H/S/ series if you’re a fan of anthology films and/or found footage. It’s easily my favorite FF series. The newest film, V/H/S/ 1985 came out last week and is awesome, but you can’t go wrong with any of them (except maybe the third one).

I’d personally recommend VHS 1994 to start with because I think it’s the most accessible and least offensive entry in the franchise

No, most well-adjusted people would not identify that sentence as racist. While it’s true that the sentence does involve race, racism is understood in society as something that involved prejudice or hate. None of that exists in the sentence “I’m white” within this context

Bit odd
