Most “pranks” are just a) terribly unfunny, b) actually bullying by another name, or c) both.
If we could just keep the rare good ones I’d be all for it, but alas!

Lol I feel this
I think we all do that a bit, tbh. But when I get to the “rip it” stage I just put it in a timeout box instead, work on a new thing, then usually the desire to get back to the original thing will return eventually! If it really doesn’t I’ll also frog but that’s relatively rare.
Bonus of having so many craft hobbies I guess, there’s always some other WIP to switch focus to!
Yeah it’s the same sort of challenge and satisfaction at a solution, completely agree!
3d printing is useful for almost any hobby if you try hard enough!
We got really into making handmade dice for a while there, and used our resin printer to make custom master dice with our logo on. And I’ve used it to print out useful bits and bobs for cross stitch too. Someone I follow on Mastodon 3d printed a sock knitting machine, that was very cool.
Truly 3d printing is the hobby that keeps giving!
Making things, mostly.
Lots of crafts like knitting, crochet, cross stitch, sewing, felting, origami, faffing about with clay, etc etc. And gamedev which I basically think of as the same sort of hobby because it’s just making a different sort of thing.
Making YouTube videos about all of the above, in defiance of the algorithm gods.
Reading any and all scifi I can get my hands on, plus the Discworld series just over and over again endlessly on a loop.
Also the amount of time I spend on Mastodon and Lemmy probably means it counts as a rather lame hobby at this point…
Me too :(
I moved to Raccoon which I’m hopeful will eventually have all my fave features from other apps but we’ll see.
I’ve thought about it an uncomfortable amount and decided you might be right.
You’re welcome.

I know it’s a different culture around tech everywhere. But where I am, this doesn’t seem like an unpopular opinion so much as an accepted thing. People who came to the internet quite late tend to go iPhone because it feels simpler and keeps them safer and that seems fine to me. Good that there’s an option for everyone.

Teach me your ways
Upvoted for actually unpopular opinion.
But also YOU’RE COMPLETELY RIGHT.
(username does not check out though)
It’s been common for a lot longer than that in the UK, we’re very lazy :D
Yeah I’m trying to remember how we used to do it (the last time I went through a normal checkout with a full shop was probably 10 years ago) and this seems right.
Gotta have the heavy stuff handy so you can put it straight into the bottom of the bags. Anything else is wasting time!
You’ve had some well-meaning but ultimately not quite accurate answers in this thread so just to clarify:
You can follow, post to and interact with Lemmy communities from Mastodon, because they’re treated the same way as a “group” on Mastodon in general.
You can NOT follow and interact with Mastodon users from Lemmy, because Mastodon accounts are individual “users” and Lemmy doesn’t have the concept of following and interacting with users, only with communities. If Lemmy ever does add a feature to let us follow other users, then in theory following Mastodon users will also become possible.
As a European, I’d read about this phenomenon and assumed it was just a sort of vaguely reminiscent hint of a taste. Because surely nobody would be eating it if it tasted strongly of vomit.
Was given a free sample of Hershey’s in Chicago once. Didn’t taste of anything at all it was just weird and waxy. So much for that!
Yeah I made it maybe halfway down the street before the taste kicked in. For any other non-US folks who think it’s an exaggeration, it is not. Literally tasted like I’d thrown up in my mouth, not just a bit like it but literally like vomit.
My minor life advice is do not accept handouts of Hershey’s chocolate!
Yeah this is a normal phrase in British English too. Today you learned!
