I see somebody read the fine print

Blue?! Your paint had color in it? Look at Mr Moneybags over here whose landlord springs for the high-end paint to cover the excess mold

The banana is one of the earliest cultivated plants. It is specifically cultivated, by humans, precisely to be the best fruit possible.

Bananas rule, and we can thank their creator: 10,000 years of human ingenuity

Lisa get in here. In this house, we obey the laws of thermodynamics!

What is this sorcery? My electronics corner is a fire hazard. Some of the cables are weight bearing

Yes, but only if the language has been declared. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell not a single post originating from feddit.org’s many communities declare the language to be German.

The good news is that Voyager (and Lemmy itself) supports blocking a whole instance: In Voyager tap Settings -> Filters and Blocks -> Blocked Instances -> (add feddit.org)

Blocking it this way means you will not have to block each community one-by-one.

Fortunately, this kind of block simply hides all posts and communities from the blocked instance. You can still see federated comments from their users as long as they are declared to be in a language you have selected in your profile settings (probably you have English and Undetermined selected)

Oh, baseball! That makes much more sense.

For some reason I had assumed it came from tabletop gaming, where your model’s base much touch another player’s base in order to whisper to them

I’m losing friends for loosing dogs on useless losers’ loose use of lose and loose

I was just thinking about this earlier. Technically, helicopter comes from helico, meaning circular, and pter, meaning wing. So quadcopter should logically be “quadpter”

Invalid USB-A male to USB-A male cables are also commonly used on low cost KVM switches.

The one I got from Amazon has two of them - one for each computer, then the other end of each cable connects to the switch. The switch has its own micro-USB power supply but it is optional, so the cables must pass power

Doesn’t the word “craftsmanship” indicate it was made by a human and not a dwarf? Otherwise it would say craftsdwarfship. Maybe a trade caravan dropped it

Also linguistics. The Simpsons taught me that “embiggen” is a perfectly cromulent word

The berries look similar to juneberry, aka sarvice berry, aka service berry (a common berry bush with many regional names). This particular plant has a disease of some sort (see the discolored leaves) so even if it isn’t poisonous it probably doesn’t taste very good, or has worms in it.

It is a striking photo though

I read, many years ago when people were changing them to say “ZOMBIES AHEAD”, that the default password is the two digit state code followed by DOT.

E.g., for signs operated by the Washington State Department of Transportation it is simply “WADOT”

Aw, man, I don’t deserve the hate :( /s

Those are luxury bones!

Everyone in this sub has such great smiles 😍

No I’m… doesn’t!

That’s why I’m here high five

Reddit used to work that way too, back in the day. If you prefer, you can toggle off NSFW content in Lemmy settings
