For me it’s because I’m not reading the same top comment on virtually every post. I used to always skip top comment because it was just a copied comment to a repost, but eventually it got so silly I had to read halfway down to get any original thoughts. Now that we’re in a world where there’s so much bot generated content and it isn’t affecting lemmy in largely the same way as the other social media platforms, it’s even more apparent.

To the other repliers point, contrarian commentary isn’t censored as heavily and power tripping mods to get named and shamed from what I’ve seen from my perspective - that said I am a heavy reader instead of commentator so I have my own set of biases.

I read comment sections to the end on lemmy, which I haven’t done on reddit in probably a decade

Me too please!!

In Seattle we call these studio apartments, I learned reading this thread that it’s not a normal thing. My friends that live in one can’t cook without their bed absorbing the smell.

Someone on lemmy posted this recently: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_pineapple

My mother in law is Korean so out of curiosity I had her pick up the Korean dish made from it (meonggae) after seeing the lemmy post. It taste like the smell of a dank metal spiral stair case at Seaworld. Even through all the (imo) tasty spices and seasoning. I asked my MIL what she likes about it and she said, “it tastes so fresh because one bite and your transported to the sea”. Especially with the older generation, the context can make the food way more than the taste

I do this but I add cooked pasta in the pan sauce and eat it on the side of the steak, maybe with some lemon if the alcohol isn’t acidic enough for my taste

It also comes from ‘boomer’, some names tend to stick.

Hellsing Ultimate had year long gaps between each episode, exacerbated by the tsunami + Fukushima incident. That said, it was so damn good that whenever a new episode came out, even if I was out of it I would rewarch the whole shebang.

Thai chili as garnish is 10/10, I soak my chopped chili in fish sauce for a bit of saltiness.

In aquascaping/Planted tank community, some call duck weed ‘tank herpes’ cause once it’s found its way in, there’s no getting it out permanently. Eating it might be interesting use for it though, always nice to find a way to reuse biproducts from any hobby.

Once when I was 8, a friend brought over his PS1 and Metal Gear Solid. We played pranks on the guards in the zone that has a bathroom using claymores and Nikita missiles and called snake the Toilet Stalker. Peak 8 year old humor, I couldn’t breathe from laughing.

Another in High school, visited my older sister in the dorms and the boy floors were having a massive halo Lan party since all the rooms were connected. I had never played a console shooter before but the guys were really welcoming and wanted me to join anyways. One match came down to a 1v1 with me and one of the good players, I almost got him with the sniper but lost. I wasn’t too bummed but afterwards everyone on the floor cheered me up. I stomped the same guy later that night in warcraft 3 and that one felt good.

Fattest greasiest breakfast I can buy nearby. In college I would get the comically american large pancake/proteins + hash brown diner combo before a final and food coma my way through the stress. The place always had a fully decked topping bar so smother that shit in whipped butter and syrup. Calorie bomb helped me focus I think, and I didn’t have any money in school so it was also my treat for getting through the quarter.

Never saw a problem that couldn’t be solved with another molotov

A year and a half back I was sent an email from Apex saying I was banned for hacking. I hadn’t played apex for a year and my account hadn’t been logged into during that whole time, so if they’re false flagging players that don’t even have the game installed then who knows that the fuck they’re doing in their anti cheat. They actually reversed the ban when I contested it though.

Of all the UIs to use for selecting what to build, they chose the Netflix carousel.

It is impossible to find a perfect match, but it’s also possible that couples can grow closer and around each other.

Unrelated comment, but holy shit I am a huge fan of the M8. So wild to see you on Lemmy, and this comment section is exactly what I’m here for.

These days all the data used to inform decisions internally feel like they’re completely made up to support whatever bias the manager already has. This used to be an org dependent problem but it’s everywhere now, AWS, retail, digital.
