I wear Fruit of the Loom hipsters (I’m a woman).

Personally I like them bc while the waistband has elastic in it and has stretch, it’s not literally an elastic waistband like some underwear.

The material is really soft and comfortable to wear all day long.

I still have “other” undies for special occasions, but day to day I’ll rock the hell out of some Fruit of the Loom granny panties. I’m married and my husband doesn’t care what he pulls off me, so I’d rather be comfortable lol

i’ve had the same thought as you.

i regularly use the sub tab. i watch youtube on weekends while i clean, so usually on friday i’ll check my home page a few times throughout the day, see if there are any interesting recommendations and save them to my watch later.

then in the evening i do one more home page scroll, then i slowly scroll my subs page and make sure i save anything that looks interesting to my watch later. then i might watch one or two videos from my WL that evening and i watch the rest (or what i can fit in) over the weekend.

I don’t get the point of subbing to a channel if you aren’t checking your subs tab. Like…that’s why it’s there lol bc the home page is a bunch of recommendations

Either Cash Cab or Deal or No Deal

I love watching Cash Cab and trying to guess the answers, and I have a DoND app on my phone and I’m not too shabby lol

As someone who smoked Camels for years and is now just as addicted to vaping, there are no benefits. Zero.

When I smoked cigs, I stank constantly. Even if I sprayed perfume or had a mint. My fingers always smelled.

I did 12 straight years of choir, but now I have a much smaller vocal range. I’m not as active because I get winded. Now that I vape and have constant access, I get cranky after like 30 minutes of no nicotine.

My blood pressure is higher. I can’t be on the type of birth control that gives me less side effects because my smoking makes it higher risk.

I’m raising my risk of cancer. I’m spending a fuckton of money on flavored air.

There is literally no positive and I wish I had never touched it.

I’m non tech.

I just work as essentially an administrative assistant in a real estate-esque office making $20 an hour.

Just a married woman in her 20s who is sick of Reddit’s shit.

Lemmy feels like Reddit to me and Mastodon feels more like twitter

so to me they’re both decentralized versions of popular social media

i just think of them as my new reddit and twitter since those companies are sitting at their desks jerking it all day

This was really well said!!

I’m here from Reddit and that’s what I’ve been doing, just subscribing to whatever I can find for each subreddit I’m losing, and then whichever one seems like it’s either most active or has the most quality content stays and I unsub from whatever sublems aren’t providing content.

This OP seems pissed off about subbing to multiple sublems that are the same but like…you don’t have to. Go use Reddit? lol

The multiple sublems thing is kinda the point of Lemmy, there isn’t one big overlord controlling everything

first was an ipod touch, when i was in middle school i think?

favorite so far has probably been just my iphone, i started with a 5 and now im on a 12 pro max with about 6 months until i can upgrade

i’ve loved the evolution of ios, and doing the betas and seeing how far it’s come i still remember when the first iphone came out when i was in like 6th grade and my friend got one, and we thought the most simple shit was the coolest most futuristic thing we had ever seen

i really do love my macbook pro though. can’t say it’s my favorite cause i’ve had an iphone so much longer and i have my whole life on there, but using windows my whole life, then trying a chromebook during my Pixel 3 phase, and then finally getting a macbook has been wonderful

So what you’re saying is, Reddit is fucking creators by not compensating them, but when you take that work and repost it without compensation, it’s ok?

Besides, the great thing about Lemmy is that it’s not Reddit. It has a whole different vibe. I think it’s worth maintaining that.

Thank you

I’m getting tired of seeing those comments, it’s giving a little bit of condescension, and tbh I don’t want to see lemmy communities just turn into subreddits with a list of 30 strict rules you have to check your post against before submitting

It’s so unbelievably easy to just scroll past, I truly don’t understand people who don’t want to see it and could just scroll, but instead expend the energy to open the post and type out a comment instead

I know this technically isn’t the right community, but is it hurting anyone? Could we view it as an opportunity to help someone today? Idk people are so into their own little world.

I do, but not nearly as much as Lemmy.

I used to go to reddit for everything. To scroll aimlessly, just to look at aesthetic photos, to read stories…I even had a multi reddit for text based subs, and a third party app on my watch so I could read text based reddit posts at work.

Now, I only go to reddit if i need the resources of a specific sub (earlier i had a question about an app so i went to their sub to browse and see if there was any advice) or if i’m cross posting content to lemmy to get my communities going.

when i just want to scroll and see what’s new, ive been coming straight to lemmy every time.

i’m really trying to interact more too.

ok i thought i was going crazy, that’s the most frustrating thing

i only ever use regular search and image search

if i want shopping results i’ll look at walmart or amazon

if i want video results im just searching right on youtube

i don’t need a million different tabs

Anything at Daiso really. I never need it but I just…need it.

Yes. I have a husband and a 16 year old autistic son (unfortunately he is very low functioning and does not really help with any chores because of that, despite his age).

My husband works 5 to 6 days a week, usually 12 hour shifts, sometimes if there’s a 6th day it’s 8 hours. I work 8-5, 5 days a week, but also have about a 45 minute commute one way.

Husband also has a large family and we have a pool, so right now at least one weekend day is usually spent hosting them for swimming.

My best strategy right now is that if I walk by something that needs doing and will take a few minutes or less to complete (think throwing away some trash, tidying the coffee table, grabbing all the dishes in the room and moving them to the sink), then I do it right then. It’s not perfect and it doesn’t take care of everything, but I’m hoping if I do it more, I’ll be able to sort of stack things and do two things at once that need doing and then cleaning will become part of my routine.

But honestly I’m mostly here to get tips because my ADHD brain needs help.

Exactly, I don’t think we really have any say in whether that happens.

Those channels are just random people trying to monetize content people post for free. Considering that, I personally hope we don’t see any of those channels pop up for lemmy, because I feel like the entire point of lemmy is to move away from monetizing the internet, so if people start monetizing content on here, I feel like it could influence the type or quality of content posted, and then we just become another reddit.

and i feel like lemmy could be a better place than reddit. but not if monetization starts creeping in.

Pulp Fiction is one of my favorite movies of all time, I can rewatch it at any moment

Overall it’s not really fucked up, it’s not THAT crazy of a story, there are just some fucked up parts.

On my macbook I just go on firefox and use the lemmy.world site

on my phone i do have a bunch of apps installed but im pretty much exclusively using memmy, i just check in on the other ones to see how development is going

Also Meta wants to join the fediverse with Threads.

A lot of it is just people talking about their social media ex, but it IS part of a larger discussion about taking the internet back from corporations.

Mainly for niche communities that haven’t gained traction here yet, and for my city’s subreddit, which does have a community here but it’s completely inactive so far.

I created like 3 communities and I’ve got around 20 subscribers on each, but no one is posting so I’ve been using reddit here and there to cross post content from the original subs to kinda just have something there as an example.

You can do that??
