Off topic shout out: why not Chaco sandals for home and/or for going out?

It’s off topic, but OP mentioned having used sandals, so he can maybe consider them a good option

If you only need to look for slang expressions, that is…

Hey dude, I’ve been looking for you for so long, since my Dad stole your bike and that was a turning point in my life, since I made a point of stealing your son’s bike.

It is said that this will continue for generations until the seventh son of a seventh son, who’ll transform into an upside down toothless vampire who likes garlic.

In order for this prophecy to come true, please ensure all your progeny keeps buying bikes.

PS Welcome to Lemmy!

I’ve read it this year for the first time. It’s fantastic. So short and so powerful.

So are there any good news in this respect?

Rewind

Whoa dude!

PS This is a great shower thought!!!

You’re our hero!

How do you stay in a community, but filter content you don’t want through keywords?

I’ve been a lurker on Reddit for forever (about 15 years) and then the APIcalypse happened and my first and unique post on Reddit was asking for a Tildes invite. I didn’t enjoy Tildes, so now I’m here. We’re so much less that I feel I can’t lurk here too, so now I regularly comment here.

I apologize if I haven’t seen it in another comment, but there is a category missing (sort of, let me quickly explain).

I like reading books from my phone with a dark theme (inverted colors). It’s not exactly an e-reader, though it is electronic.

I don’t claim it’s the best way, it’s just very convenient because of (former Reddit)/(now Lemmy) addiction to using my phone to read about cool stuff.

It’s particularly handy before sleeping or when commuting

Edit: added last sentence

In a similar fashion, you can wonder about killing opponents in the localized Finnish version of Mortal Kombat

I was scrolling down to see if anyone said this, since it’s been the case for me so far. I have to say lately I’ve seen a raise in unfriendliness (not referring towards me, but in general), but I suppose it’s inevitable.

I’m still really happy with how people interact with me and with each other, and I haven’t felt that on Reddit for a while (am referring to both pre APIcalypse and after, though I now visit Reddit rarely)

Off topic but related: you guys just broke the whole super hero concept for me. Now I can’t go back to reading comics or watching movies ignoring all of these things. I suppose I am happy to be my normal me (though perhaps super strength isn’t so bad)!

This link has been posted and discussed on Reddit too.

Of course, we shouldn’t care about what people on Reddit think (and I noticed this post by chance since I log on there very rarely now), but some users in the thread genuinely ask about joining Lemmy and so I guess it’s useful to know about possible obstacles to trying it that they may perceive.

A person once told me that in life you need to learn to be lucky. When I asked him how to learn that he replied that you need to want to be lucky. And that’s it.

He was very serious and, to some extent, I think he wasn’t saying something crazy (and in fact he’s been very successful in his life, without resorting to help from others).

I think he meant we make our own luck: we work as hard as possible to create several occasions and maybe we screw lots of them but, if we try, try again, we can seize some of them.

I suppose the message really was: you need to be persistent. If you’re so dedicated, you end up grabbing some opportunities you didn’t even know existed (but you kind of created)

Thanks for coming to my TED talk… Be lucky!

This is it. The hero we need, but not the one we deserve

You’re talking to me or the guy above?

Care to elaborate either way?

There’s one thing I haven’t read yet in the previous answers: after you s**t you still wipe your ass with toilet paper before using the bidet, and you do it pretty well too.

When you get to use the bidet, your butt is already pretty clean, but washing it with a bidet makes it entirely clean and feels really nice.

You use a towel right after using a bidet, which is why you see one hanging right by a bidet in most (if not all) bathrooms with a bidet. This prevents spraying water everywhere after you’re clean.

Also, when you use it once, you learn how strong you want your water stream to be, not to wet the whole bathroom. You do the same the first time you wash your dishes (if your faucet shoots water too strongly, you wet the kitchen beyond the sink)

Also: those who use bidet go through a rigorous training to master its practice and transmit it’s secrets orally to the next generation.

Bonus: Crocodile Dundee VS a bidet

You just reminded me of this awesome bot on Reddit called “please respect tables”.

There is still a subreddit about this, though it’s been abandoned

Please respect tables

It would be fun to have it here too! 😄
