There no rim or reason to this crime

I came for this comment, Ainsley Hayes was a fun character

Instagram no longer allowed to be installed on my phone, how is that for a deal, Meta?

Yeah, it’s definitely a trope of stand up comedy, with couples breaking up, and never having any proper tools on hand (using a kitchen knife instead of a screwdriver).

we named our first electric car “White Fire” as an hommage to the launch roller coaster “Blue Fire” in the theme park Europa Park (Germany) near where we live.

In January we gave back the white car to the leasing company and got a gray one, which is now named “Greyfire”.

Nice that’s also exactly how I browse Lemmy, so much variety compared to only focusing on communities you subscribed to.

that’s the magic of having no consistency, you can find anything and its opposite in 40+ years of uncontrolled rambling, scheming, lying and cheating.

Salt is pretty good, but yeah, mayo it is

Wow he’s really weird. What a laughable buffoon.

hey don’t belittle technological advancements in germany, people here at are the forefront of innovation: https://simple-fax.de/fax-ki

Haha don’t get me started with US coins, I also have a fun story there: we arrived fresh off JFK Airport in NYC and headed to our rental apartment in Bedford-Stuyvesant Brooklyn. It was pretty far from the a subway station so we got a connecting bus to get us closer.

The next day, we thought of taking the same bus line to head to Manhattan, except our party of four ended up being expected to pay 4x $2.75 in a machine inside the bus… in coins. That’s 44 quarters. Yup, don’t have that on day 2 of my stay. So we walked 6 blocks.

I visited the UK back in 2022 and I was pretty baffled at how you can universally “tap to pay”. We visited a pub on the coast of Dorset where they wouldn’t even accept cash as a mean of payment. All in all it was nice, because it meant not having to deal with a foreign currency at all, we spent 10 days just using electronic payment, so as a tourist I think it was a good experience.

In Germany, where I live, you’re basically getting nowhere without cash, it’s still very difficult to eat out or buy small food items like bread or a sandwich. There’s also a culture of paying cash for many things, including pricier items like a second hand car! Shop cashiers usually don’t even blink if you try to pay with a 100€ bill (except if you’re coming super early and they don’t have change available yet). It’s not unusual for me to end up drawing a quarter to half my monthly salary in cash.

I first disliked it when I moved from France, but now I think it’s actually good for the society. You always have some change to tip a waiter or give to a beggar, a coin for the cart at the supermarket, get something from a vending machine… Also I live in a very quiet area so getting mugged is very unlikely, making it not so scary to carry cash around.

They’re also in Germany now, as mandated in every EU country, but I don’t have to deal with them because there’s also a heavy culture of reusable glass bottles (Mehrweg Flaschen) distributed in standard reusable crates. Everything has a deposit so you always bring them back when refilling.

I don’t mind them either but get yourself cheap cable pliers and cut the tether when you need to, or pour into a cup instead of drinking from the bottle.

Good reference, you get an Internet Point™ from me

Yeah but realistically, I can’t do much about the fact that people believe. There are other fights I’m taking on in my life, and doing good around me seems like a more productive way to spend my energy.

Also, I come from a country where atheism has past the threshold of 50% of the population last year (from 25% 10 years earlier). It seems that people are turning their back to religion here anyway.

Well I agree with that, religion plays no role in my life, except making me angry at times. But if people want to live in a fantasy on their own time, fine with me.

Let’s have something of each religion on earth in each classroom of America, it won’t look silly I promise. -_-

Religion doesn’t belong in public spaces.

“teledildonics” is the most glorious word i’ve ever heard :D

my reply was more a comment on Adam’s nickname ^^
