The whole joy of flip flops and sandals for me is the arrival of warm weather and being able to eschew socks 😊

What? Germans notoriously love socks and sandals; lemmings too apparently…

Great - now I can’t think of the womb as anything other than a 3D printer…

So do socks and sandles

But when it’s not cold there’s no need for socks?

…or “mandatory fun” as it came to be known around my work place.

Which…I get it…but I always appreciated the distractions from work…

To someone who lives on a farm, so do you.

It’s not black and white though; saying fields are biodiverse is an erroneous simplification.

Fields can be biodiverse, but pushing for increased production inherently drives that down. Big ag will make the field deadly to anything other than the target crop to make conditions most favorable to that crop.

We grow subsistence levels of rice each year and choose methods that promote biodiversity. Our paddies and surrounding areas are host to all sorts of life; fish, frogs, snails, crabs, all that attract their own predictors. But even something that seems like table stakes such as using a combine to harvest instead of harvesting by hand is destructive to the ecosystem of the paddy.

…but then imagine if all the rice in the world was harvested by hand instead of by machine. Would it even be productive enough to supply the world? It’s unimaginably more time consuming.

Wait.

Are you saying cisgender women can be lesbians too?

Not if the ag industry has anything to say about it, though…

For the first three decades of my life my duvet had the loops but the cover didn’t have the ties. I just thought the loops were something to grab on to while spelunking into the cover to insert the duvet 😂

This gives a good idea what it typically looks like if your duvet and cover has it.

Most (but not all) duvets and duvet covers have ties/loops to tie the corners (and sometimes the midpoints) off to keep this from happening.

Honestly I never had this issue nor knew about the loops/ties until I graduated from a full/queen cover to a king size one and it became a real problem.

With starship earth you’re taking your poop on a tour of the solar system…

More than mildly interesting imo

You thought you had laid an infallible trap, yet it is I who have ensnared you…

Local New. Thinking I should try switching to All New though. Worried it might be too much though…

Back when Reddit was a thing I did Subscribed New and was mostly subscribed to niche subs, but there was enough traffic it support it. Quickly found when I moved to Lemmy I needed a different approach.

Does Jon change his name to “Carrington”?

I mean this is exactly what all the kids who told me they loooved essay questions always said they liked about them.

Probably a Death Cap or Destroying Angel mushroom.
