Counters? Oh you must be confused, those are just convenient shelves for bowls of fruit nobody asked for or will eat. Those should go on the kitchen table? That’s a good one, everyone knows that thing is only meant for bags, satchels, notebooks, and trays that could conceivably hold something but do not. And not only does stuff not go on ice cube trays, stuff also does not go on the bottom of the freezer! It’s literally sloped so you can’t do that. And if for some god-forsaken reason you have to put something down there, don’t put it over the defrost drain! Otherwise everything in the freezer gets covered in frost and we have to take everything out to clean it out! Ask me how I know!!

My mom firmly believes that empty space is a sin. No matter the context; fridge, attic, basement. This made sense when I was very young, we were a family of 8 and she was the only one working, so she always went insane with coupons, and sales, and “free” stuff. We are no longer a family of 8, nor are we insanely poor, yet her habits have not changed. It pisses me off when I open the freezer, and find it packed like the opening game of Jenga. How the hell am I supposed to find anything in here, let alone reach it? I’d have to take everything out first, and then somehow put it back.

I agree. I specifically want an option to remove new users’ posts from my feed. With the hope that by the time Lemmy doesn’t consider them new anymore, they’ve either chilled out and post like a normal person instead of spamming, or they’ve been removed from their community for being a nuisance or bot.

Same here. Shortly after I joined the Fediverse I didn’t want my feed to look like Reddit’s, so I made a rule that if I saw more than one post by someone on my feed at a time that I’d block them. The majority of these are new accounts, so I’d also like the option to filter these accounts out.

I haven’t used kagi before, is there a way to disable the AI assistant? I understand I don’t have to use it, but I’d rather it not be on my screen at all.

I take this mentality a little further, and block users if there are 2 or more of their posts on my feed. I got sick of seeing the same people again and again, and at some point it just turned into an iron rule of mine. I wish I could auto block or mute new accounts until they’re no longer new, because most of the accounts I block are less than a week old, and I assume they stop their spamming after a while, but I guess I won’t be learning.

Definitely what I first thought of.

iirc 999 smells like peanut butter, so it might taste like it too. Eating it might be hard though, I think it’s one of those hard to kill types.

So, a dryad…?

People can put whatevet they want on their vehicle, that’s none of my business. That said, I’d be too afraid that having something like this would incentivize some asshole to vandalize my car.

The shells may not have inherently sharp edges, but if they’re big enough to fit over your ears, and weren’t caged in some convoluted way, if you rolled over and broke them, then you might have some sharp problems.

I doubt that lad accepts any unit other than whole.

Do people refer to individual units of lasagna as “slices”? Admittedly I’ve never thought of how to refer to one other than as a plate of lasagna, but I’ve never heard anyone else use slice, like you would a cake.

I also had to read it half a dozen times before I realized it wasn’t my reading comprehension that was the problem. “What’s something people believe was good for its time, that was actually terrible, even back then?” is maybe a more coherent version.

I’m not sure I have a decent example I can think of though.

The fundamental problem with questions like these is that people are inclined to upvote morals they agree with, and downvote the ones they don’t like, instead of upvoting answers that fit the question of unpopular. I don’t know that there’s much to be done about that though.

That’s true I suppose. I may be overly cynical (and clinical) when it comes to such things, I think that stems from the extremely stifling household I grew up in, where my parents wanted me to be religious, wanted everyone to know I was religious, and wanted me to let everyone know I was religious, as if I was a lucky one to find salvation. At some point the browbeating wore off, and I realized whatever opinions and beliefs I held didn’t make me more or less than anyone else, and that no one else’s would make them any more or less than the average human to me. (So long as their opinions and beliefs don’t bring harm to others, that is.)

I actually have a friend like that as well. We played a lot of games and participated in roleplay communities together. I didn’t even know she was trans until one of her friends brought it up for some reason. My reaction was just kind, “Oh, neat, anyway.”

I have a different friend who I knew before her transition who is a lot more vocal about such a thing, and while I do respect her decisions she definitely wears it as a badge of honor. A few months ago we were playing Minecraft with some of her friends, and I didn’t know any of them.

One of them (to me) had a feminine name and a feminine voice, so when I was talking to my friend, I asked “Hey where did Zoey (example name) go? I need to give her some iron.” And my friend immediately cut me off to correct me that he was a he, and that he was trans, with a very angry tone to her voice. I understand misgendering may be a problem… but how was I supposed to know? We’re faceless voices across the internet, I know referring to everyone as they/them is ‘safer’, but that’s a little ridiculous to me (Especially because I’ve met some people who -don’t- want to be referred to with gender neutral pronouns)

I know that might sound hypocritical, that I don’t think people should introduce themselves as trans or anything else, and that I shouldn’t be villified for making an innocent misassumption. Having my cake and eating it too.

I would assume the goal of transitioning is for people to believe you are what you say you are, without the label of trans. I’d never have guessed that my rp friend was trans, and similarly if my friend had not told me their friend was trans, I would have just assumed he was a feminine guy, and not a trans man.

Well I’m not really arguing against anything, the question was what moral do I hold that I don’t think most people agree with.

By the same argument, there shouldn’t be a straight community

Yes, that’s basically what I said. I would prefer we live in a world where sexual orientation is no more prevalent a feature to define someone than their hair color. I wish there didn’t need to be laws for or against gay marriage, or rights for specific types of people over others. But this is reality and not a hopeful fantasy, so again I understand the the need for the LGBTQ community, and laws to protect and represent the people part of it. But at the same time, I personally don’t think anyone should be celebrated (or mocked) for being part of it.

Being trans, gay, bi, black, or a different ethnicity than what is considered ‘normal’ in your society doesn’t make you special, or less than human. I support trans rights and want to treat all humans equally on a base level. Assuming someone who looks or sounds like a woman is a woman is not transphobic, even if they are a trans man. Nor is assuming a man is straight homophobic.

At the same time, I think it’s strange to introduce yourself as trans or gay in a public setting or on a social platform as if it’s your calling card or occupation to be proud of. I was born with double-jointed thumbs, I don’t think I should be congratulated or mocked for that, the same I don’t think someone born with a man’s body and a woman’s brain, or otherwise decides to identify as a woman later in life, or is sexually attracted to either anything or nothing, should be given more than a passing acknowledgement.

I understand the world is cruel and harsh, and so I understand why there needs to be an LGBTQ community, but there -shouldn’t- be one.

I think there’s a difference between not calling someone an idiot and tolerating their bad ideas and actions though. I agree people need to be stopped, and not tolerated, but when the only answer is insulting them with various names like idiot or nazi, all that ends up happening is they keep their toxic and destructive ideas hidden from the public, and then band with others labelled idiot and nazi, until they feel comfortable in a group to express their rhetoric without fear.
