So @[email protected] posited an unorthodox application and orientation of onion to a sausage in bread, whereby cutting the onion in rings and encapsulating the snag results in very anchored onion in a sausage in bread situation. Useless Modern god was onion goes under as did the stud, GoonSeagoon was to the side I was on the fence but generally it goes on top. Or so I believed.
Ravens' method has proven to me tonight that us mere mortals have been doing it wrong the whole time. it is now a 360 degree experience.
This configuration is simultaneously SFW (OSHA compliant) and NSFW
It has created a paradox and folded the universe into another dimension
You mad bastard. You receive a LemmyGold.
Although I was envisioning deep fried onion rings but that’s just the carnival food fairy whispering in my ear
You are a far from useless modern god with that suggestion.
Wow, this is some dirty, dirty content. Bring it on
Pls add NSFW warning
Oh that is the kind of revelation needed during these trying times. That's fantastic
This looks like work. Put the onions underneath, on top, I don't care. It all goes in the same hole.
How did I not realise that this is the supreme way of sausage consumption? How?
Sausage perfection indeed!
I feel dirty but also excited
I can't wait to take Ted on walks around the park. I will take so many pics. 🐈⬛🤓 I might take both if they can stop trying to kill each other for 30 minutes.
I’m very sleepy. Nigh nighs
Good night, sweet dreams 😘
My mate is selling his car because he got a new one and we agreed on a deposit and payment plan.
I pick up the car on the day before my birthday!!!!!!!
FUUUUUUUCK YEAHHHHHHHHH
Happy birthday to yourself with new wheels!
Thank you!!!
Holy crap. Things are moving fast for you!
Congrats!
Yeah when it rains it pours. I try not to get too excited, because fortunes can turn in an instant.
But for the moment, the sun is shining.
eee nice one :)
I'll be cranking early 2000's psytrance lol
Hassle free win!!!!
Totally! I'll be driving to the next open mic!!!
yay 🥳
Thank you ❤️
Hell yeah!
My brain is fried from speaking in Japanese all night with old acquaintances I haven't seen in 12 years. But it was good to do something different. I decided at the last minute to pay for everyone's meals because I so rarely get interstate/international visitors and I had chosen the place to eat. No regrets, it felt good to pay it forward and leave them with a pleasant surprise. I'm sure they'll do the same when I visit them.
We saw a group at the restaurant (quietly) singing happy birthday for their friend - one of the people I was with looked on wistfully and commented on what a lovely group of friends that is. It made me think about how some things we take for granted are less commonly expressed in other cultures. But we all want that feeling of connection
The first stage of Catladyhood has been attained. I just bought Ted a cat stroller. 🤓🐈⬛
Far out

Man… I am so deeply in crisis. I’ve massively avoided talking about just how severe things have been living here but with the crime and untreated mental illness/substance issues ramping up again it’s really affected my mental health.
I have really severe ptsd developed over the years from repetitive harassment and stalking, attempted or semi-success break-in’s while I’ve been home and credible physical threats. (The pocket I live in is a hotspot for untreated mental illness and substance abuse issues with a lot of resulting crime, and I’m considered an easy target due to my size, disability, isolation and gender. The cops do little to nothing because it’s so entrenched.)
It is still constantly being triggered by further threatening incidents with no end in sight. I just don’t feel safe living here and yet I’ve been trying to escape for a very long time with no luck.
People are trying to help me but it’s getting nowhere soon. I’m afraid that my physical health is going to give out, my mental health will end things for me, or my luck will run out and I’ll no longer be able to avoid the threatened physical attacks.
I may be forced to move from public housing into dedicated disability accommodation or mental health housing but I don’t know how long that could take or if there would be any suitable places.
I’m using all my coping strategies but they’re just not enough against this.
I have a psychologist but she seems to have hit the limits of what she can do for me and is now giving really minimising and toxically positive responses that are incredibly stressful and unhelpful. There is a secondary support worker I have who is much the same and I’m getting so stressed out by them that I’m just canceling appointments and withdrawing.
The psych ward is not an option. I explored that option years ago in response to intense suicidal ideation/planning due to this and found it is both ineffective and genuinely dangerous for an AFAB even somewhere with a ‘women’s ward’.
I can’t afford the private rental market, can’t go to any family, and can’t cope with share housing so there’s nothing anyone here can do for me.
I desperately don’t want to die but without safe stable housing I really don’t see a future for myself.
Rather than projecting far into the future which you can't predict and can't fully control focus for now on making it through hour by hour.
Ask yourself, can I make it through the next hour? If yes, keep going.
If your current residence doesn't feel safe, while you can't flee from it completely, stepping away from it might be helpful. For example go to the library, hell even a shopping mall. You don't need to buy anything.
That would be nice but I feel genuinely unsafe to go out (for good reason) so not really the best suggestion.
I have been frequently sexually harassed in public (yes, even in the library) and the closest shopping centre is at the epicentre of the roughest part of town. I’m not interested in ‘overcoming’ my aversion to going out in public while living here, soz. The people here are trash and it takes a toll on me both physically and mentally.
I will absolutely be working on expanding my comfort zone if I make it to somewhere better.
Thanks for the rest of it. I’m doing the best I can to make it through bit by bit.
I don't know if this would be any help but have you seen Housing Hub?
Oh I have, thanks! There’s a bit of complexity involved so there’ll have to be a lot of looking through the options
I'm sorry, that's an utterly awful situation. I know there is little I can do to help, and I wish there was a button I could press to fix it for you.
I'm so sorry
For my pineapple fan friends
Woah what are we looking at here? Swineapple??!
A close relative 🍗
Hanging out on the back porch eating lunch with a mishcat while she rolls around on the concrete like a fat beige whore, finish up, do my usual call whistle and she obediently trots back inside.
promptly hear from over the fence "Bloody hell, how did you manage that??" And apparently we was watched.
"while she rolls around on the concrete like a fat beige whore" is the funniest and most evocative thing I will read this week.
Like this, but more motion:
Beef and mushroom ragu followed by apple crumble has been successfully made and eaten. Glass of wine in hand. Night in the couch in front of tv ahead.
All of my favourite foods!
Why was I not invited?
Album 4. Takemitsu Spirit Garden Orchestral Works. Love it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZqazBElZHg
I can already tell this is going to be a favourite and played a lot.
Has some of the same feel as Sakamoto.
My first old LP today is Russian Gypsy tunes by the Gypsy orchestra of the Cabaret Russe, 1961. It's ok so far.
Second vintage LP is Jose Feliciano. I love this song. Manha de Carnaval https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xb3OB27Zrxo
nah, not loving this album
That was a nice few hours in the sun. :)
Got some old LPs from various shops along the way. We'll see what they're like.
I had a nice bit of time in the sun. Had a chat with my neighbour about our fence which is on a lean and threatening my water tank.
She is lovely and has lived there for 51 years.
I think a fence repair or replacement will be out of my pocket.
Peas kicking it!
Also trying my hand at cloning the Just joey rose in a little ghetto bottle cloche bottom left. Wish me luck.
How good is it when they get so big. My beetroot is cracking along

I'm sorry but I don't support a cashless society. Banks and Government overreach too much even now, let alone in a future cashless society.
And aside from that, there's also cybersecurity, connectivity issues, and privacy to consider.
Anyone remember computers going down everywhere at Coles, Airlines and Banks a couple of months ago due to a dodgy software patch? No cash means everything stops.
I totally agree. There need to be options and alternatives for consumers; we are supposed to have the power, they are supposed to be courting us and enticing us, not dictating from upon high how things are gonna be around here, dammit!
As a side issue. Miniest was given a 5c piece in her weekly pocket money instead of a $2 coin from her Nan, and I was explaining how a blind person would not make that mistake (thickness, weight and side ridges of the coins). I suddenly thought, wow, the potential for blind people to be mercilessly ripped off in a digital world is utterly terrifying. What are they tapping at, what does it display? Was the correct information entered?What about card skimming devices and fake QR codes? Terrifying.
Excellent point that I'd never even considered.
I totally agree and the way Aussies are forced into using the banks was one of the first things I noticed when I moved back here from the US.
The banks are getting a cut from every transaction , it's like a tax paid to private companies.
I have one bank account, HSBC, that gives back 1% of any sales by card. They still make a profit.
People aren't forced into using banks in the US? I'm surprised.
And the banks would just love every cent and dollar in their grubby little hands so they can reinvest and make even more super profits than they do now. Too bad if there's global economic collapse though. And as we saw from the GFC the threat is still real and it would be even more damaging with no cash around.
I've been in full on security blanket mode today trying to block out reality. This is no good. Yes, some things aren't going well and it's overwhelming, but I have to exercise the options I do have and keep things in perspective rather than assuming the worst. This is just temporary.
Okay, out of bed and time to start listing out the things I can do to deal with the things causing me anxiety. #1 is start looking for more places. Time to get on fb after six months and start looking for lease breaks, whatever. Then time to just start looking for a cheap phone to tide me over this stupid total device ban kicking in with the 3G closure.
Text the number 3 to 3498 if you haven't already, make sure that your phone will be affected before going through the hassleling.
Oh it is 100% affected, reading up on it online it appears that even if I did the required firmware flashes to get it up to the required standard (can make 000 calls on 4G), the telcos are just blocking the model by IMEI regardless. Fark.
I am too overwhelmed to techify my way out of this at short notice. Have a spare, compatible phone that I use for work that I can pop this sim into now so that the service doesn't get cancelled. Will just order a cheap burner to tide me over until shit is less jangled
My lunch!
Solid additions 👌
"I feel ... motivated" 😈
Got all my shit together and put in an app for the poky little place I looked at today - I'm ashamed to say I offered a bit more than they were asking simply because I think this is one of the few places where I have a good shot and it ticks enough boxes (that said, so many people at the inspection...)
One thing that's nice is when you speak to other applicants and it's friendly banter and you're not all eyeing each other off as competition. And you can commiserate with each other over the shitty situation we're all in...
Had also planned to get in touch with a not-so-close aunt in the outer suburbs to subtly ask about staying with them as a backup if all else fails. Through sheer providence, she called me first... To tell me they're going to sell their place in Nov and if I could help them with tidying up!!!! 😭 She did say once it's been tidied I'm welcome to a spare bedroom until I find a place/the place is sold, but there goes my backup option til July. Oh well
The hunger games of housing is appalling in this country, and yet politicians feel no shame about it.
I hope you get it!
Thanks!!! It's not ideal as not only will I have to prematurely give up my plants, it's not got a gas stove (sadface) and is off a rather busy road - but the unit seems reasonably well protected. However, it's short term so at least I dont need to feel locked in! It's got space for a full fridge, washing machine, and has a dishwasher and aircon and a nice big ledge in the living room for indoor plants. And is in a very convenient location for shops, food, PT, work... even with the higher amount offered it's still less than my current rent. I could afford other luxuries even if the apt isn't ideal
Yard works freaking tough when you can’t god damn breath out your nose!!!!
For all you Grateful Dead fans, Phil Lesh has died. Finally. More health problems than Medicare, but lasted to 84 which is a small miracle. Will be much missed.
More health problems than Medicare
😂😂😂💀
Thats awful news. But his music will live on forever for free.
one of my fave albums. LiveDead. I suppose he's DeadDead now.

I’m seriously contemplating cracking the first tinnie of the day right now, while I’m outside. Just stare at the weeds and sip.
Sip and stare session
Do it!
Do
Do it!
Do it
Do it
Do it
It's been over an hour and we now need to know that you have done it
Do
It's what I'm doing! I at least mowed first, but really need to do something about the weeds
Did you do it?
Late start today due to crap sleep. Gym done, grass mowed (so much effort, I left it maybe a week too late and paid the price, plus my hayfever was going at it). Quick arvo coffee before cleaning the shower and bathroom, then I can relax.
I was going to put off the gym, but fuck it.
Breakfast of Legends
ooh onion below!
Or should it be on top?
The debate rages on.
I actually prefer onion under. It keeps stragglers to a minimum.
Below, so it doesn't fall off!!
Next to.
On top looks better but under is more secure, so it’s a form/function situation
Market shop complete.
I was given - did not purchase - a bunch of flowers, and I do not know why
We all deserve pretty things.
Woke up to a mangled drivers door lock this morning. They didn't get in. I'd've thought a rusty old van with cobwebs wasn't worth the effort. Hour after reporting it, Crime Scene Services dropped by for some photo's, no finger prints. See what happens.
ain't the rust part, it's the van. They thought it was full of delicious fencible tools
Just saw the cops at Old Mate's place with his average suv having been done too.
Yeah, they’re going for anything they can
God help me. I am looking at getting a cat pram for Ted so I can take him walking and easily take him to the vet and groomer. There are also backpacks. 🤔
I am becoming a cat lady. 🤓
also, new dinosaur tshirt and some print jeans have been ordered. :) for me, not Ted tho he would probably look adorbs
can highly recommend https://classytails.com.au/ it's where we got Punkin's chariot from.
the pussy wagon license place was a taleya original though.
I've thought about getting the cat backpack but it has to have good cooling and with a little place for her to hide if she wants to.
Do it. The cat pram is so practical, made things so much easier. The $80 generic on eBay does fine (just make sure to line it with something waterproof in case of wee)
Melbcat hated the backpack because it was tall with a narrow base that forced her to sit up. She got very claustrophobic and balled herself up at the bottom anyway even though it was too small for her to comfortably fit.
🎶I say, we can act if we want to If we don't nobody will And you can act real rude And totally removed And I can act like an imbecile

Back to bed for an hour. So, so tired.
Edit: oh yeah we good now.
Meh. Crap sleep gang checking in.
Yup

I slept all the way through.
Up since 4 🙌
Me too. Bloody alarm ☹️
Real estate agents walking around next door like vultures pretending like they're doing something all dressed in the exact same shitty suits.
E. Just overhead one say we should be able to push this one to the limit which calls for a rave choon
Insulting to vultures, vultures are actually useful and a big part of the ecosystem. REAs are just like those mozzies that carry malaria
Auction next door passed in. God I dislike REAs.. spruiking it like they're commentating on horse racing. It's not a horse race you donkey.
Hot takes from the dude though:
-
"interest rates are only going down and property is only going up".
-
Using Leos supermarket as a selling point.

'You're missing out on this quiet location'. Funny thing is this road has been discovered by people bypassing kew junction and about a zillion cars and tradies drove through. Add to that the neighbours kids 2 doors up were absolutely going off.
Been a while since I've been to an auction so might common now but strangely, he kicked off the bidding at $3m (obscene).. then raised it to $3.05m when there were no bids at 3 then asked for $3.1m when there were no bids at 3 or 3.05. I know the vendor can place a bid themselves but it looked really fkn stupid.
Cooked.

Big Halloween window day! Have to remake seaserpent wings because one of the cats ate the last lot. Small fete thing tomorrow, otherwise relax & try to not spiral.
So cool.
dirt moved, sifted, moved, dispersed, moved, stacked, bagged, etc etc etc. Rolling around in it while the hubs deep cleans the bathroom and vacs the rugs. Now to fuck off until it's a bit cooler, covid reset my photosensitivity again
Wrote the first complete song for the next show. So far so good.
Didn't end up doing much gaming last night but that's OK. I didn't crash till around 2ish, and am wrecked today, so won't be going out except to get a haircut.
Of all the games I quickly tried out, probably final fantasy rebirth is the main one and another one called Chernobylite which looks super fun.
I think I would benefit from a walk in the sun :)
Trash day today. Filling up the trailer with crap to take to the tip. Tetanus is up to date.
mmmmmmmmm guyyyssssssss
I have been watching the falcons this morning and Mum spent a lot of time trying to herd the chicks into the nest so she could shade them with her wings. The chicks kept trying to escape down to the other end of the ledge so they could get into some actual shade. Eventually all three managed to get away, but she stubbornly stayed keeping the empty nest as shaded as she could. She's finally given up and flown off now and the chicks are all enjoying the shade.
Ugh. Morning
What sort of madman tries to sell 380 DVDs in bulk. I don't care if it works out at less than a dollar a DVD, who says 'I'd like 380 DVDs please'?
People who are done with Netflix and are running a clandestine movie speakeasy?
Edit: Ha. Sick! https://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/sep/08/filmnews.france
This is the only answer that makes sense, and with home projectors so accessible these days it would be easy to do.
But god, I'd want to show better movies then what people are selling on Facebook most of the time
Gym complete. Now I chill
helix and microcosm Worked pretty well!!!
Goodnight everyone, especially those with pets who sleep in the middle of the bed ❤️
I love how you can edit titles with Lemmy.
did you add an "rd" to the title? 🤔
If I did, I did it yesterday as well only I didn't notice until today. 😀
Edit: And Thursday as well!
Good morning
I was reading how gummies are going to overtake chocolate as the most popular sweet soon.
Gummies are made with agar, ie, algae, ie soylent green, yellow, etc etc 🐍🐻🐻❄️🦖🦘 🍒🍊
See there is chocolate and… yeah. Unless it’s 75-80% I can ignore the stuff for months. Cadbury get in the bin.
I barely have any chocolate anymore.
I have no mouth but I must eat
Hmm I just tried with a couple of fried eggs and all I did was make a mess
Probably slept at 1, woke up at 3, chugged an entire bottle of water, couldn't sleep until 6:30.

Good night everyone. 😘

I was moving the NBN modem, and think that I might have bought too long a cable.
Turns out 10m is quite a lot of cable.
