New jersey? Did someone get a new woolly jumper?

One of the most common mistakes is assuming that political opponents are ignorant talking about politics. Unless you’re in a position to actually change something, all you’re doing is causing arguments and friction

Shit like this -

“I think the world would be better without (insert idea)”

“Oh my god but what about (insert unbelievably niche reason why not)? Won’t someone think of the incredibly niche exception?!?!?”

On every fuckin comment on Lemmy. You’re not improving the world guys, you’re making it insufferable

Is Shaka Ponk metal? Probably

Is it Alan Partridge?

I wanted Anno 1800 to be this but man, the income fluctuations are fuckin uncontrollable

Yeah I thought it meant proud Pants Shitter jerk off

Oh god yeah I still use flat screwdrivers on a daily basis, basically as levers

“Little ass plugs” are called “grub screws” btw 😂

In 30 years you’ll catch up and they’ll all be 2.5mm Allen screws. I do remember them being slotted, it was a massive pain to find a screwdriver that fitted!

Fuuuuckin hell, I haven’t seen a slotted screw since the 1980s. Philips screws are exclusively for electrical.

Is this yet another way the US has dropped 30 years behind modern countries?

And missing “u” and “ur”

It’s just what we call “internet” in most countries 😂 Remember the early 2000s when ISPs tried to limit how much internet we could use and so we just switched to another provider that had a better offer, and the whole ‘limit’ thing disappeared virtually overnight?

Yeah…

Can I interest you in a turkey in these trying cums?

No native English speaker would say “do these get any bigger” rather than “…come any bigger”

So I’m assuming the shopper was a non-native speaker and the shelf stacker was JUST HORRIBLY RACIST OH MY GOD IM SO ANGRY I’M GOING TO WRITE A STRONGLY WORDED LETTER TO SOMEONE

Edit - apparently I forgot that Americans are fucking retarded 😂😂😂

Comment - (This) would solve a lot of problems for millions of people

Lemmy user - Yes but I’ve thought of an incredibly niche situation where that would negatively affect one person in ten million so you’re just pure unadulterated evil

Is sleeping in your car being illegal some sort of FREEDOM©®™ thing that I’m way too European to understand?

You know those pictures you see of beautiful wooden chalets in the swiss Alps etc?

Yeah they’re not wooden, they’re basically made by pouring liquid concrete in to a massive “mould” for the floor and walls, then covered with wood to make it pretty

The idea of 3d printed ones is the same, but without the hassle of making the mould

Oh, and for funny books, Tom Sharpe of course

Anyone mentioned John Boyne yet?

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas was really a YA book, but some of his other stuff is world class. A Ladder to the Sky, Heart’s Invisible Furies etc

I was 30 when Far Cry came out

Yeah I’ll buy the next one

The fact you said “chip cards” instead of just “cards” is hilarious in a kinda archaic way
