  • My skin's about that light. You would not believe the number of people who think it's fine to comment on the color of your skin and tell you how weird it is. And foundation is such a pain in the ass. You're lighter than KVD 40N or don't want to spend $40/oz? Fuck you, mix a match yourself.

  • Geologists
  • I don't get why they would be mad

  • Land use in the US
  • the amount of land for cows is crazy. and the fact that more land goes to livestock feed than food we eat is interesting as well

  • I'm starting a new job on Monday though!
  • Congrats! Remember to be kind to yourself if you have some trouble adjusting to the new routine since it's been a while <3

  • Missed my windows phone, so I tried some android launcher replacements!
  • It's busy but it looks similar to how I've been wanting to set up my home screen for ages. I have the standard grid right now but I took a look at some widgets and I'm having a vision of a brighter future lol. Redoing my home screen will be my self-care activity this weekend haha

  • I feel like there are kinder ways to express your opinion than to say "ew" about something someone made for themselves...

  • hydrohomies
  • said by someone with no taste smh

  • How many Lemmy users are non-technical background?

  • But I love death
  • I don't care for debate so I'm just gonna share this tofu stir-fry recipe I like. I sub gochujang for the sambal oelek and skip the peanut garnish

  • But I love death
  • Plant-based meat has been a thing for a hot minute so I'm not really sure what point you're trying to make

    edit: for chicken nugget enjoyers, I like the morningstar farms equivalent. Pop in the toaster oven/air fryer, coat in sweet & sour or orange sauce, put on a bed of rice, + sprinkle some sesame seeds on top. ooh that shit's so good

  • When we all have pocket telephones (a 1919 comic)
  • I have mine silenced but turned emergency bypass on for my parents/brother

    On iOS it's contact card > edit > ringtone > emergency bypass

  • [Feature request] Hiding posts
  • Yes please! There are a lot of posts that are upsetting (e.g., depressing, anxiety-inducing, etc.) and I don't like having to scroll past them multiple times if I refresh the feed.

    If we can't have a word filter, I hope we could at least be able to hide posts

  • A friend of mine says they don’t wanna “yuck my yum” whenever they’re about to trash something I like and it infuriates me, mildly
  • are you upset about the phrase "yuck my yum" or them trashing your food, period? I mean both are mildly infuriating to me but I'm curious

    edit: added much-needed comma.

    Also, I've only ever heard this in the context of food (hence the "yum") but I see it's also used for other things? Which is awful, because "yum" should absolutely never refer to anything other than food

  • Somehow, TikTok is sending me notifications even though I don't have the app. And in order to disable them I have to install it.
  • I hate how awful yet ubiquitous it is. Depending on your demographic, not having it can mean you miss out on a lot of pop culture and sort of get left behind.

    I'm probably in the like 2nd most targeted demographic, so all my friends are on TT and all the trending things related to our hobbies are on there. I constantly feel left out because I'm missing 99% of the content. And it's hard because I want to have dumb conversations about pop culture and hobbies with my friends, but I refuse to download it. It makes me so sad. It's very isolating

  • A 10-day UPS strike could cost the US economy $7.1 billion. That could make it the costliest work stoppage ever in US history, according to an estimate from a Michigan economic research firm that s...

    : I wholeheartedly support unions, strikes, and workers' rights

    : Where the fuck is my package

  • How do you decide when to give up on a book?
  • If I get bored, I drop it. Maybe I miss out on some gems that 'get good after the 7th chapter' or whatever, but I'm not fussed

    Could be the first chapter, Âľ through the book, halfway through a series... If I'm bored I'm out lol

  • Anybody else raised way more by the internet than their own parents?
  • I'm a millennial-ish. I had a single mom and she was all-in on parenting. Although I'm not sure which part(s) of parenting you're asking about specifically. Discipline? Instilling values?

  • Amazon Told Drivers Not to Worry About In-Van Surveillance Cameras. Now Footage Is Leaking Online
  • I'm not great with math so please let me know if I'm understanding this right:

    1. Company has 100 employees
    2. All 100 employees quit
    3. Company gets 100 new employees as replacement

    = 100% turnover rate

    Then...

    1. Company has the 100 new employees
    2. 50 of the new employees quit
    3. Company gets 50 new employees as replacement

    = 150% turnover rate

    and so on?
