Anytime I can pet a cat in a game I usually take a 10-15 minute break (or just stop playing) to pet my cats irl. Something about petting a digital cat triggers me to appreciate my real cats right then and there.

In my case I’m just posting a lot to already-created communities found in the Lemmy directory that’ve got a chunk of subscribers.

If you’re going to start your own community for your own interest, I’d advise at least setting up on an already-populated Lemmy server (which you would have to be registered on) so it gets listed in the local directory.

If you’re going to host the Lemmy server and your community, I have no experience on that front/I would imagine there’s a lot of SEO and self-promotion you’d have to do to get it off the ground.

i’m more curious about getting on their venmo friend list.

“hey, it’s uh, vlad. i need 200k for the um, rigging of the midterms in uh, wisconsin. thank you.”

I mostly contribute here, mostly.

You gotta Field of Dreams it. I’m doing it for LV426/the Aliens universe. Just treat it like you’re starting a forum or a newsletter and, hopefully in time, others will contribute and it’ll grow organically.

The Voyager iOS App makes it feel like I never left.

You gotta Field of Dreams it; post in communities you want to see liven up and people will follow, it just takes time.

Trying to remove the observer effect, totally understandable! Best wishes in your studies! Say, before you go, which alcohol makes for the best Molotov?

If we could read we’d be very upset.

Honestly the team seems inept enough that they could be easily bamboozled out of a mil.

unless you send the message alongside a Bitmoji they aren’t gonna read it…

…why am i helping you?

I need to delete this thread in the event my spouse sees it and gets any ideas.

I appreciate your clarifying what shouldn’t be put in the oven given the context of the community we’re in.

Plus I may have, at some point in my life, put a plastic (electric) kettle on a burner when my parents asked me to put the kettle on.

…I should probably be dead by now.

Do you happen to know if most microwaves throw a fit when they’re run while empty/with nothing to heat, or if it just some of them? I feel like i should’ve known that little factoid by now.

I need that for my weed vitamin d deficiency, and my cats hogs it.

I do, and I’m learning from this thread that that may be my solution.

Now to learn about what makes a plate oven-safe, though I’m sure it’s fine at the lowest temperature.

In a restaurant, they may just grab a plate that has just come out of the dishwasher since industrial dishwashers are really fucking hot.

I guess part of me knew this was the real reason the plates were hot and not because the diner warmed them up for me.

but that’s so much woooork though! for slightly-warmed plates! i gotta wait for it to heat up just to put a plate in there? my time is too valuable for such lengths!

…bah, this is probably the right answer.

My kitchen does not have enough room to accommodate something of that magnitude. Phooey.

What a bunch of fucking vulnerable idiots. No big deal, just nuclear arms in the hands of the types who don’t know how to turn on their computers.
