I’m honestly torn. Their points about it not having monetization make zero sense - there’s a bunch of shit on the internet available for free, the fediverse didn’t invent that. I also find it very interesting that they tore into the rough around the edges federating of mastodon without mentioning how smooth it is on lemmy, kbin, etc. Though to be honest I tried mastodon and it did feel kinda dead

that’s honestly strange

you can use an indoor adhesive to fill the chipped area, paint it, and glaze it to fix it. there’s different adhesives and glazes out there so I would recommend looking into what the mug’s made of and trying to match materials. Keep in mind that if it’s dishwasher/microwave safe the adhesive/glaze you use might affect that

You can also use a polymer clay and glaze to fix it. Keep in mind polymer clay needs to bake to set so the mug HAS to be dishwasher safe (since it’ll be able to withstand high heats!)

People are seriously unbelievable. House sitting and dog sitting are both jobs 😭

I found a specific Lemmy instance that I wanted to join. For what I use it for the format suits me better but if not for this instance I probably would’ve been on kbin just cuz it seems easier to interact with mastodon through it

My mom said they’re gonna announce paperboy 2

You know what’s up

Oat milk oat milk oat milk. OAT MILK. I can’t describe how much I hate powdered milk and as much as I like oatmeal I can only eat so much. Me and my sister have taken the leftover oat mulch and mixed it with a flavor packet from some other dried food to make pancakes but I don’t recommend it.

On the topic of black beans if you like Mexican food/have spices you can low boil the beans (with the juice and some water) with onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, paprika, chili powder, salt and pepper to make beans that go really good with chicken / rice / eating by themself ngl

If you end up with a lot of dry pastas I low-key like to eat em right out the box (I just dump the flavor packet and shake it) but you can fry the noodles to get like chips

Canned peas aren’t gross imo but it’s soooo easy to make fried rice with leftover rice (the rice has to be cooked and then cooled) peas, garlic, egg and onions and then you just add whatever else you want (+ idk where you live but here I just walk into chains like panda express and grab soy sauce packets). Bonus points if you take the egg yolks and mix them into the cold rice - it’ll coat the grain and give it that Chinese food texture

Also don’t diss pancake mix, almost every pancake mix doubles as a “bake starter” which means you can use it to make cakes, muffins, fry batter, etc etc. I like to make biscuits

Peanut butter is another versatile one but something different you can try is making peanut sauce which is so delicious with instant ramen noodles.

I also used to always end up with canned chicken?? I would basically just use it like ground meat lol

Literally been thinking about this so thank you beautiful brained individual. Would you mind if I shouted this in the YSK group?

Damn this is really well put

The new niche community is shitting on reddit

I spent the younger half of my life with very long, thick hair (I keep it short now). There’s no avoiding that awkward phase, you just have to stick it out. Keep your scalp stimulated, make sure your hair isn’t dry or splitting, and other than that you can try tight braids? Wish this was more helpful ^^; liking your appearance is important - but your appearance is subjective. I know it’s easier said than done, but don’t worry so much about your hair looking awkward. I’ve gone bald before and then had to prompt people into noticing so

just got revanced. life changing

Not my favorite. I’m aromantic and was just looking for very casual meets. Kept getting ghosted. Have had better luck on reddit-not sure what I’m gonna do now lol

And that’s why I have AdBlock

Honestly I don’t use third party apps and Lemmy is just better. Something about forums (in my experience) makes people actually try to be nice to each other. I’ve said this a few times but if/when we ever get private chats on here I don’t know why I’d even use Twitter that much
