Nah the pigeon is cooked in a pan along with this really thick and savory herbal sauce
😂 Trust me it tastes nothing like it looks!
So I’ve had allergies all my life. Waking up stuffy or sniffling is super common, I don’t even keep track of it. When it’s bad, if I tilt my head back, I’m literally drinking mucus lol (gross). I joke about being allergic to the outdoors, spring time’s bad, and there’s particularly something about the desert that makes my allergies act up. Some of the shrubs out there, sagebrush maybe. And I can get it basically everywhere, even while traveling to other countries, so it seems like I’m allergic to multiple things. My allergy symptoms are pretty much sneezing and sniffling, nothing to do with the throat.
I’ve taken OTC antihistamine meds before. They don’t completely dry me out but it helps a little. They’re not a magical cure, so I actually don’t bother most of the time unless it’s bad and I have something important going on.
I don’t think you’re being a big baby, because it sounds like you just developed this issue? I just deal with it because it’s normal, it’s been going on my whole life, kinda like wearing glasses lol.
Potatoes when cooked then cooled actually greatly lowers the glycemic index, so it’s weird but actually not a bad habit to have!
They absolutely do! Some animals mate for life. Some mourn when one of their own dies (see whales, elephants). Parrots who are lonely may self-mutilate. Dogs can remember you and get so excited to see you, even after being separated for years. Interspecies friendships exist. It’s like… I don’t see how people can still think animals DON’T have emotions.
They just don’t make faces like humans do. Although interestingly, dogs developed eyebrow muscles that give them more human-like expressions, which therefore strengthens our bond with them.
Watching Hellraiser 2 was pretty bad. I didn’t understand what was going on, but forever remembered the scary woman with no skin!
Late autumn sounds perfect actually and it coincides with my birthday. I enjoy the immersion so I’d go for at least a month, hopefully longer if my job can allow it. :D
Mine’s a bit dark. Dad’s family is from China. They had 7 boys including him. It’s a “mystery” what happened to the girl(s) but not really… It’s not spoken about and I don’t think anyone has the balls to ask anyway.
Oof, 41°C / 106°F with 80+ humidity is brutal. I can just imagine little to no winds and that air just sitting. I plan on visiting Japan someday but am definitely avoiding going during the peak summer months.

Not sure what other NSFW instances off the top of my head. I think lemmit.online mirrors different subreddits, so maybe some NSFW options there
Damn. Glad there wasn’t any vision loss. Yeah I had shingles before too and got treated pretty quick, but it was definitely freaky reading how it could spread to your eyes and cause permanent damage.
Oh geez, I’d be in Silent Hill 1’s Midwich Elementary School. I’m gonna have to fight the kids and roaches and the lizard boss to get out.
Oh no, shingles in your eye?? How was that?
I see them more often in the SF bay area. They look clunky and ridiculous, plus they draw so much attention (when you should probably being trying to avoid attention).
Anecdotal, but I think there’s some kind of immunity component. My parents grew up in a mosquito infested country. When we visited said country, us kids were bitten up while my parents were fine. If it was genetics, you think it would’ve been passed on to us. The locals commonly joked that mosquitos like “new blood.” You could see tourists with itchy red bite reactions while the locals were fine.
Damn that might be mine too. We didn’t get to have video games when I was little. Then I discovered PC gaming via Runescape😂
Tildes is a good example of a healthy community that allows for differences while encouraging good faith discussion. They police for tone instead of wrongness and it’s been working out over there. People are generally happy with the discourse.
A lot of it is in site design, too. There aren’t downvotes, because they’re not needed. There’s a lot of proactive moderation coming from the community by using comment labels. Labels help push comments up or down, and some require you to type a reason why, which encourages thoughtfulness instead of knee-jerk hivemind reaction and pile on. The only publicly visible label is the “good” one, so it keeps things positive. The “bad” label alerts mods and has a cooldown time limit, so it’s less likely to be abused. I believe once it’s used on a comment, the person can no longer reply to it, which helps avoid negative back and forths.

Too much growth too fast for sure! Much harder for Lemmy to create its own culture and maintain it. Much harder to discourage toxicity. Notice how healthy communities are often smaller.
Sucks for niche communities but they’ll get slowly spun up over time, and in the meantime they can be found in other places including Reddit. I don’t personally need everything to be a one-stop shop.
It’s very slow but biggest one I’ve found is [email protected]. It does have good engagement though when someone posts:)
