I'm not that young, I grew up with VHS tapes and remember what it's like. Times have changed, it's not a requirement to be stuck in the "good old days".
I worked in a grocery store when I was a teenager. I didn't give a shit about people not returning their carts. It's my job, it's not like I'd rather face shelves than walk over to get a cart. Plus they'd usually send us out in pairs so we'd take advantage and shoot the shit while doing it, was a nice break.
I've always hated it. If I want to watch sex scenes I'll just watch porn and not some softcore Hollywood garbage. It adds nothing to the movie/show. Just makes it awkward when you watch it with your kids or parents.
Not sure about default but I'm using Sync and it's got a keyword filter. Using it to block Musk and Trump, made a big difference.
Same fucking bullshit in Canada. "Fuck Trudeau" just so we can get fucked by Pierre. Will people ever learn or will it be this way the rest of my life? It's just fucking depressing how stupid the general public is.
I saw Wild Robot with my kids and it was surprisingly very good. We all loved it.
I did not know anything about this. The only social media I use is Lemmy (and Facebook Messenger reluctantly) and I avoid the news. I also filter out the word Musk cause I don't give a crap about that piss baby. But this ELI5 was great, always nice to see rich fucks get fucked.
Yup, a lot of dairy products still taste perfectly fine after the best before date.
I'm in the same boat, I spend way less time on Lemmy than I did Reddit. I consider that a good thing, happy I made the switch. Plus I feel like posting/commenting on Lemmy is much more rewarding than Reddit so that's another bonus imo.
It took me like 5 minutes to find an alternative to Aniwave. It follows the exact same format and everything.
In my experience it's like a game of whac-a-mole. One website goes down and another takes it's place. I'm not worried.
Am I the only one who read this as In "AI"s life? AI as in artificial intelligence lol
In Canada we call them Pogo's because of those shitty frozen Pogo brand corn dogs. Kinda like how Kleenex is used for tissues.
It's just a hot dog on a stick dipped in a corn meal batter then deep fried.
My town isn't big enough for a Walmart lol. People just hang out at Tim Hortons all day which I agree is lame as shit. But there's plenty to do if you like the outdoors and most of the stuff you can do in the big city you can do around here. It's just a longer drive. Like if want to see a movie it's about a 30 minute drive to the next town over. Laser tag and trampoline parks are like an hour.
I'd much rather have to travel long distances for recreational activities than for work. My kids actually get to play outside in nature, experience wildlife, eat fresh local produce, go swimming in beautiful lakes. I grew up here and in my teens I wanted to gtfo of this boring place to live in a big city. But as I grew older and spent time in those big cities I realized life was much better for me and my family here.
Lastly, your point about jobs is 100% correct. Jobs are shit, I'm just lucky we have a federal government office in our town where I can make a decent wage that's not adjusted for where I live.
Wow, a lot of assholes in the comments. Not everyone in rural towns is a right wing redneck. I'll take my small town of 12,000 people where my commute is 10 minutes by bike over a big city where my commute could be like 1-2 hours.
Not sure what people are talking about here but I thought it was amazing. I loved it.
You can get lunch meat that doesn't have cultured celery extract or sodium nitrate. It's usually only chicken or turkey, ham pretty much always has it in my experience.
I've also been meaning to make my own using a ham press.You have to grind the meat, fill the tube and boil it. Then you can cut into slices and it's almost the same as what you get in store.
I've held this opinion ever since I saw the movie Next. I remember sitting there after it ended and thinking it was all just a waste of time.
My whole life I've always hated burgers that you get from fast food/restaurants. It's just a bland beef patty with a bunch of toppings that make it a pain to eat. These places advertise their burgers as being "100% Angus Beef!" or whatever, like that makes it appetizing... Why is this the norm? Do people just not know any better?
I learned how to make burgers from my dad and our approach is completely different. It's all about the patty, not about the mountain of toppings. We throw onions, garlic, bell peppers, egg, worcestershire, salt and pepper (anything you want really) into a blender. Blend it all up and incorporate it directly into the beef. Then you shape your patties. This method makes the actual burger patty delicious, you could eat it as is if you wanted (which we sometimes do).
I've yet to meet anyone who didn't prefer our burgers. Try it and you'll never go back to those bland meat disks.
So me and my dad were talking about pressure canning and how it's very uncommon. I've never talked to anyone irl that pressure cans, maybe some water bath canning but that's it. I wonder why it's so uncommon? You can get a pressure canner for less than 150$ and it's incredibly useful.
I mainly use it for stock/broth but you can use it for so many things, tomatoes, soups, chili, baked beans, stew, spaghetti sauce, etc.. Honestly, anyone who cooks whole chickens somewhat regularly should invest in a pressure canner. I cook two whole chickens at a time and use the carcass to make about 14 litres of stock. I also make beef, turkey, pork and smoked variations of these.
It's so much better than buying your stock at the store. I will admit that it is a lot of work, from start to finish it takes me about 3 days because I wet brine my chickens. But you could just buy the bones from your butcher which I have done. Just wondering if anyone else does this or reasons why you don't do it?
