I figured y'all would like Fig Newtons more than Choco Leibnizs /s
They look really good, will definitely get some.
I've heard of these but never knew what they were. Kind of remind me of a snack my mom would make with Ritz crackers.
$18/£13.3 for a single sleeve of biscuits off Amazon's US site. If I get them I'll have to hide the price from my partner.
I live in the US and don't think I've ever had a UK style biscuit. What are the asbolutely must try brands/types?
Amen. Your answer is one of the few that is actually brutal advice that everyone should be given.
Something I've wanted to know, but have been too afraid to ask older friends, is does it get easier? Especially as the number of people dying keeps increasing and happening more and more frequently.
My top priority is to get myself in a good position to enjoy my 40's. I'm paying down debt, getting fit, and having health issues checked out and fixed. I'm also trying to improve my mental health by tackling bad habits and personality flaws that I'd always assumed weren't a big deal and/or would go away once I was an adult, but they haven't.
Thanks for the tip!
Interesting, I had searched to see if a community already existed before creating this one but didn't see it. Since lemm.ee is shutting down I'll leave it up, but if they migrate to a new instance I'll consider deleting it.
In this case I think it is beneficial to have a dedicated community where the expectation is that young people, while not excluded, are not going to generally be the ones participating in discussions. It's true that for now Lemmy has a relatively small user base, and that it's skewed toward older and male users, but that won't always be these case.
A quick search also shows at least 9 active "ask" communities besides the generic AskLemmy one. I don't think it's too much a stretch to have one dedicated to older men politely talking to one another and giving advice to themselves and others from an older male perspetive.
I'm finding it difficult to explain myself, but the vibe is just totally different on the AskMenOver30 subreddit than general "ask" subs. It's more mature and frank while also being courteous* and free from politics, conspiracies, and toxic masculinity. I would much rather be subscribed to and participate in a narrowly focused self-selected community like that then a generic AskLemmy community.
I would like to present !AskMenOver30@lemmy.world
For many years the AskMenOver30 subreddit has been a very helpful, supportive, and wholesome place for general discussion among adults. The community has been a great example of how good the internet can be. I would love to see this legacy continue in the fediverse.
Trans men are men and welcome. People who are younger than 30 are welcome to seek advice from their older peers. Women are welcome to do the same.
sometimes, the most valuable lessons are the harshest ones. What’s a piece of brutal, no BS advice you think every younger generation needs to hear? It could be from your own experience, something you learned the hard way, or just a tough truth no one talks about enough. Let’s hear the cold, honest reality.

A finger for scaleI'd just about given up on the dwarf sundew seeds I'd planted. After a couple months though there are at least a dozen small little sundews.
[Image description A very zoomed in picture of 3 tiny sundews. They look like red hairy spikes things sitting on wet green cut sphagnum moss.]
If you look closely, there are tiny hairs with dew all on the stalk.
[Image alt text: a blank white background with the flower stalk in front. The stalk is straight but then curves over to the right point back downward. On the left side of this arc is a closed flower from the previous day. At the apex is the currently blooming flower in profile. It's petals are a delicate pink. The part od the stalk going back down has curled up immature flowers which will bloom every 1 to 2 days as the stalk unfurls.]
Libro.fm is an awesome alternative to Audible. All of their audiobooks are DRM free and you can choose to have a portion of each purchase go to a local bookstore.
Librera is a great Google Play Books alternative, and the auto read voice is much better.
As the title suggests, what did you do to stay fit/healthy?
I’m struggling the most with sleep, to the point where it’s difficult to focus on work the following day.
I’ve never been very healthy or in shape, but feel like if I don’t start now it will be very difficult to manage in 10-15 years.
Would love some advice/guidance/motivation.

My teens and 20's I always had something going on, always on the move. 30s were mostly spent working at my career and having children. I stopped doing everything, more or less. I turn 40 this summer and will hopefully have more me-time.
I'd like to explore new hobbies, skills, experiences, anything and everything. Give me your best recommendations please

When I was younger, I thought “making it” meant money, hustle, status. Now I just want stability, a calm mind, and maybe a good dinner. No shade to ambition, but these days, peace of mind feels like the bigger flex. Curious if other guys have had this quiet shift too, or if I just got tired.

This is a White Pitcher plant (Sarracenia leucophylla), East Alabama variety. That tiny little stalk is its first true leaf and it's first pitcher.
Like other temperate pitcher plants, the seeds needed to experience a period of cold, aka stratification, to be viable. I kept the seeds in a Ziploc bag with sphagnum moss in my fridge for 60 days before planting.
I'll be pinning a post explaining the difference 😉
I would like to present !WhatsThisRock@lemmy.world, a community dedicated to identifying the cool rocks and minerals people find!
What's This Rock will be modeled on the Reddit community /r/whatsthisrock. If you have anything you would like ID'd, please post a clear photo with information about where you collected it.
The snails shell is backwards in the painting accompanying the article eye twitch.
Here's a mature stalk on another one of my sundews. A single flower blooms for just a few hours in the midmorning every day or two.
[image alt text: A close up view of a 2.5 inch square black pot on a grow shelf. In the pot is a Dwarf Sundew. Its leaves are the shape of elongated rain drops, with the narrow point coming out of its center. Each leaf is covered with dozens and dozens of closely packed red hair like stalks, with a drop of sticky dew at the end. Some leaves have gnats stuck to them and are in the process of closing, others opening. A curled flower stalk is emerging from the center.]
I can't wait to have more seeds than I know what to do with. The original motiviation for getting native carnivorous plants was to help with the fungus gnat problem in my grow room.
The sundews eat a good number of gnats but I think I'd need a dozen or more to actually make a dent in the population.
[image alt text: Two small plastic pots sit in a square tupperware container full of distilled water. In the pots are the pitcher plant and butterwort. The pittcher plant has about a dozen small pitchers, all light green with red staining. The butterwort is a small rosette of pale green leaves.]
Both ordered from Secret Garden Plants on Etsy. I'm very happy with both.
I would like to present !SavageGarden@lemmy.world, a community for those who love growing, talking about, and sharing pictures of carnivorous plants.
Savage Garden is an unofficial clone of the subreddit /r/SavageGarden.
[image alt text: A clump of sand and mud held together by moss and ribbonwort. The ribbonwort looks like light green plastic ribbons spread across the surface of the clod. It is being held in a hand]
I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Flytrap King shipped fast and the packaging was great. Plants arrived in good condition too.
This photo shows it about 2 weeks after transplanting the bare root plant. It took a week for it to get settled and then it started growing again and even put out a couple of new pitchers.
