Funny@sh.itjust.works•When you try to spread cold butter on toastEnglish
5·2 months agoMy wife finds my obsession with soft butter for toast to be a bit extreme, but I hate trying to spread it cold. I have “soften it in the microwave” down to a perfect science where it comes out soft but not melted.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which living creatures can swim and fly, but not walk?English
5·3 months agoDid evolution really forget to cover this niche?
IANAScientist, but maybe being a creature that can potentially fly onto land but not be able to walk once there was an evolutionary disadvantage, and was bred out.
Those who understand binary and those who don’t?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you could go back in time, what is the one thing you would change about computers or the internet?English
53·3 months agoIn the context of changing the course of things early on, I’d make everyone post under their real name in any context. To be clear, I DO NOT support that today. The cat’s already out of the bag and pseudonymous communities are the norm now, I don’t think we can unscramble that egg.
But if somehow, from day one, you needed to attach your own name to everything posted online, I feel like we’d have ended up with a less toxic internet than we have in many places today.

The cute little hands are part of the appeal for me!
