And the average person has (usually) no idea if what they’re being fed is even correct. But as long as it sounds correct to someone who has no idea…

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Oh yes daddy credit pleaseEnglish
621·3 天前It makes perfect sense when viewed from “the credit companies work with lenders to ensure your credit only rises if you’re constantly in more and more debt but still paying it like an obedient little wage slave”
Personally I’m a huge fan of bouncing a ball off a couple of sticks, but you like what you like, eh?

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real lifeEnglish
8·3 天前Honey is acidic with a pH of around 4, so it technically corrodes metal if left for prolonged contact.
I make knives and I really want to let one sit in honey for a week to see if it gives it an acid wash.
I have other acids that work much quicker, but I’m having a bit of a giggle at making a pattern-welded steel butter knife and calling it my “Honey Knife”

75·3 天前Because we have knives already in our kitchens, and they don’t take up extra space in a drawer that would otherwise go to another more useful utensil.
Also my cheese slicers have all been cheap as shit and snap after a few months, and the nice heavy duty one I had with a replaceable wire got lost in the move earlier this year and they discontinued it and I’m sad.
Nah, I think I’ll just continue to smoke and vape to an unhealthy degree in order to disassociate from the banal horrors of modern day. If I keep myself mildly baked and consuming a steady stream of star trek and Stargate, I’ll keep myself from having thoughts.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the most repairable "thing" you own?English
5·4 天前I mean, half of my hammers have had their handles remade with whatever hardwood was closest. So I’m gonna go with those.
However, the most complex thing that I can repair with sourced parts would be either my truck, or my truck. I’ve had to fix it with “close enough” parts before, and I will fix it until the frame rusts (which given Northern states and salted roads probably won’t be more than a few more years)
There’s a smattering of electronics that I’ve seen mentioned multiple times as well.
One thing that is theoretically repairable, but is hard to find parts for, my washing machine. It’s a old 50s model with a lever to engage the motor, a roller on top to squeeze water out, and a simple steel gear system to drive everything. I should be able to open it up with a crescent wrench and flat head screwdriver, but I doubt I will ever be able to find ready-made parts (I have looked briefly when I thought I had a problem with it that sorted itself) but I might be able to bodge some things together if needed.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•FBI: Man, woman drive to police station with Homeland Security agent trapped in vehicleEnglish

Yes, but…

Driver could shoot the HSI douche in the head and I’d say self defense isn’t murder.

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Portland Police refuses to punish driver, even though she was caught on video running a red light and slamming into a cyclistEnglish
7·7 天前Well, as long as you do it while driving a car, anyway.
While not inherently religious, they come from a religious building.
Besides, I’d argue that If it were simply about being a clock, they wouldn’t all be going, every single day, competing with each other for the most ridiculous “music” at noon that can last up to 3 minutes.
I live near a town with a street that was named “church street”, not because the church was on it, but seven. The town as a whole has at least 17 that I know of.
About half of them have bells, and of those, 5 ring every hour on the hour all day and night, one rings every hour from 8am to 8pm, two or three ring 3x a day (sunrise, noon, sunset) and the others either don’t have bells or don’t use them regularly enough for me to notice.
I can hear the chiming from my back yard, which is several miles away from the city limits.
I don’t know how people put up with it, honestly. It’s nothing to do with my dislike for religion in general, I just hate all that noise, and would not be able to live close to them.
I do think my town is a bit of an anomaly though.

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Do cheap motorcycles also apply?English
14·7 天前… Kick them over like dominoes.
In fact, I insist.
The fact that people would rather see their taxes bomb a brown person’s house instead of building 10 is sickening.

Yes, sit diwn and let them execute you like an obedient slave. I’m sure asking nicely will help.
