They lied to us. The real Y2K was the CRT rapture.

I lived in an apartment complex like this. Management didn’t bother to ever clean the dryer vents, so it would take for. ev. er. to dry. It’s a wonder the laundry building didn’t catch on fire.

I will never get over Breyer’s ice cream going cheap.

Have you looked at Häagen-Dazs? I only looked at their plain chocolate flavor, but the ingredients are only Cream, Skim Milk, Cane Sugar, Cocoa Processed With Alkali, and Egg Yolks. That’s the real deal right there!

I like Ben and Jerry’s, but I definitely know that it’s not “real” ice cream. They shine because they have good flavor combinations.

Bruster’s and Graeter’s are ice cream shops that make their ice cream in-house. They also contain stabilizers but I prefer it over what’s in the grocery store. I’m not sure if that is because I’m used to it or what. If you have a location for either of these near you, I would check them out.

Lastly, I would check if you have any local places that make their own ice cream. You might find what you’re looking for there.

I have rarely gone to get fast food in the last few years, a lot of the reason because of the cost. That, and quality has gone down a lot even with price increases.

The times I have gone, were because I was short on time. I miss the days I could overlook the poor quality due to the cost.

In the US, it depends on which state and certain conditions. Only two states, Maine and Vermont, will allow felons to vote, even while incarcerated. The link below has a good summary.

Dear god… My mind is blown.

It takes some practice to perfect your toilet netipot technique.

The ones that do, aren’t cops for long.

“I earned my inheritance fair and square. If you didn’t squander yours, you could have been a landlord too.”

Oh yes, I remember when Reddit came out with multireddits. Loved that, and I miss it.

“All” here vs other social media is much better

It’s more likely that arguments are civil. There are still quite a few venomous arguments but I’ve noticed that it it proportionally less.

On Reddit or Facebook, if you didn’t like a group you left and made your own. If you didn’t like the admins, tough shit. Here, if you don’t like the admins, you can use a different instance.

Likes and dislikes are separate, and are in some cases viewable who submit them. I feel like this keeps people a little more honest.

I like the modlog and transparency. It’s so much easier that when someone complains about unfair mod action, to see if they are in the right or exaggerating.

There is an “end” to Lemmy. There isn’t just infinite content to scroll through.

Dislike

Smaller user base means that niches that Reddit filled just aren’t here.

Neutral

The types of common negative personalities here are different from that of Reddit. Reddit has more misogyny, classism, antinatalists, and obnoxious atheists. (As opposed to the chill atheists.) Lemmy has quite a few people that are pretty shitty to those that are disabled or cannot get out of some situations. If you cannot work towards the greater good without any rest, can’t escape a bad situation, or can’t just extend yourself further, you are trash. There are also more fringe beliefs here. I do like it because of the different perspectives, even if I very strongly disagree. (It makes me think!) Unfortunately we still have the dumbass arguments about generations but you can’t have it all.

I don’t think they heard you, they already got a whey.

As a formerly homeless person with some sort of chronic illness, yep.

I made it out, but the absolute anxiety of always falling back into poverty weighs heavy. I truly don’t think I can do it again.

I remember having Trillian on Windows way back when.

I’ll have you know I did go back and read my logs from like 2008. I think I cringed so hard I never recovered. You might have saved yourself by not looking at yours!

It’s a bug in your client, and the post it gets is related to your instance. That’s why the other person that says they get the same incorrect post is from your same instance.

Just an FYI - if you’re on Android (and use Gboard) and you notice one of these mistakes, you can delete the bad suggestion.

For example, if you had spelled yoghurt and now it won’t stop, type in the letters for yoghurt until you see the suggestion above the keyboard. Press and hold the word “yoghurt” from the suggestions and drag it to the trashcan that appears to remove the suggestion.

I’ve had to do this more than I care to think.

It blows my mind when people do that.

“Hey, the way that you styled yourself makes me not want to have sex with you.”

“Uhhh… Cool?”

That is an interesting bug. So it looks like the linked comment belongs to a post on lemmy.world. but if I go to the post with the same ID on lemm.ee (NSFW) https://lemm.ee/ then “post/18776512” which is the instance you’re on, then it is indeed porn.

$25, $15 without the cereal.

This is… Certainly something.
