Cooking
the availability of the internet and a young(er) brain has made learning to cook easier for me. Also I feel like diverse ingredients are easier to come by. They were cooking out of Betty Crocker and their parent’s index card collection.

I wonder what percentage of players opt for the “story only” difficulties? Has anyone done this sort of study? One dev found that 70% opt for easy mode. They point out that most people don’t finish most games, and easy modes help increase that number.

I had a thought about finding similarly themed jokes about men, but haven’t had any luck yet. It’s true that a good number of blond jokes could be gender agnostic so long as they are just about intelligence.

This sort of humor in general hasn’t aged well. I think this sort of thing is still funny when it’s a surprise, ie used sparingly.

I from the US, just learned about these today, and had a chuckle. an essex girl was driving down the A13 when her car phone rang. it was her boyfriend, urgently warning her "treacle, i just heard on the news that theres a car going the wrong way on the A13. please be careful!" "its not just one car!" said the essex girl "theres hundreds of them!"

This is probably not your speed, but I can’t stop myself from mentioning Deathloop…
Also, and this is a bit of a stretch, but Day of The Tentacle was a great game with a time element… I’m reminded by this because I asked ChatGPT for a list of games that met this criteria.

I’m actually a little surprised that my hot take got so much hate… I inferred was there are multiple reasons that people don’t bath. I posed this as an or… as an alternative. I didn’t suggest depression isn’t a reason.

I am friends with a lot of hippy-archetypical folks… and many of them don’t do the bathing/deodorant thing with the frequency that’s commonly expected by the majority. Just saying they choose to be au natural… and maybe that’s ok.

I said theoretically because I recall it not being proven, and it’s been a while since I read anything on the topic.
It’s mildly amusing that my statement suggested to you anything remotely close to “studied fact”. Are you getting enough fiber in your diet? Enough water? There’s empirical evidence out there that those can help with constipation. Now that’s a studied fact! Be well! 😇

Not very interesting story - in college, I was on the special events committee that brought talent to the campus for entertainment. Sometimes, I was able to meet the talent. We had the pop up video guys come do a talk, afterward they had dinner with the committee members. I ended up getting an invite to intern on the show… but totally blew it. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m a total idiot, or just didn’t know how to interview yet. Probably a little of both!

I just posted a feature request and thought it might be interesting to also post it here and see what the community thought. What is the feature that you would like to have added? When composing text, I want to select existing text and and format it, by adding a hyperlink or enriching it as (e.g.) italics Solution When I preselect unformatted text and …tap to add a hyperlink, my selected text should be populated in the “show text” field. …tap italics, my selected text should be wrapped in the formatting characters.
If I tap a wide aspect image, and rotate my phone to enbigify my view, the image doesn’t rotate with my phone orientation. If I escape the image viewer and then rotate my phone, the whole UI rotates. If I tap an image while in landscape, the image viewer opens it in portrait mode! Ami experiencing a bug, or is this expected behavior? I feel like this has got to be just me - at least one other person would be complaining about this, if it were a thing, right?

From the [article](https://itsabouttime.beehiiv.com/p/complete-guide-spectacular-watch-auction-pieces) (I am not the author) > Only Watch is a huge deal in the world of watches. You are completely forgiven if you haven’t heard of it, as it’s a charity event that happens only every other year and this is only it’s tenth edition this year. Started in 2005 it was a way to raise funds for research on Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Since then, it has become a milestone event in the watch world, as pretty much every relevant name in the industry contributes a unique timepiece - hence the name Only Watch - to be auctioned off. And they bring some crazy pieces - in 2019, a Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime Ref. 6300A sold for CHF 31 million. > The last auction raised CHF 30 million with only 53 watches for sale. This year, there are 62 watches going up for auction and I’m going to do something crazy - here’a list of all 62 of them. In alphabetical order.
The search tab icon is on the complete opposite end of the screen from the search text entry field. Engaging with search requires tapping the bottom most area, then the top most area, then back to the bottom keyboard area. It’s slow and clumsy. Tapping the search tab icon once already brings the user to the search interface. Tapping the tab icon a second time while already on the tab should bring the search text entry field into focus so the user can start typing. See IMDb app for a live demo.
When a post contains an album of multiple images, I can only see the first image in Memmy, but I can confirm via the web that the post contains multiple images. I haven’t seen anyone else complain about this - am I missing how to do this? Do others not care, or not realize there are multiple images? Example post that in Memmy shows one image, but the web shows two. https://lemmy.world/post/922427
Here’s a quick video of the inner rotating bezel on this watch. To engage, the upper pusher ring is pressed in and rotated bi-directionally. Turning the pusher ring without pressing in doesn’t engage the bezel.
Hear me out… Memmy is going to get big, right? I’d ❤️some way of recognizing the OG team of feedback peeps as we all do our part to grow the fediverse together. Maybe a colored username, a la the purple u/iamthatis. Maybe a little Memmy icon next to the user name. Maybe something else?! What do you think? Ideas?
I change out my switches frequently, and I’m looking for a tool that’s better than the free ones I’ve received over the years. Something that is robust, less likely to bend or break, is comfortable to use, and does a good job. Extra points if it’s cool looking, or comes in orange.
Comparing to Apollo, the haptic feedback in Memmy is more intense when taking action like voting. Apollo gives you *just enough* to know you’ve taken action, and Memmy feels like someone is flicking my phone with their finger. If I had to guess, I’d say Apollo is soft and light, and Memmy is heavy and rigid. [https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/playing-haptics](Apple’s HIG for Taptic Engine for reference.) For me, the difference is at worst mildly unpleasant feeling, but I also use the app before getting out of bed in the morning, and the Memmy haptic audibly resonates through my mattress and has woken up my wife. She is admittedly a light sleeper! I think there’s also a trivial impact to battery. I propose that this be dialed back in Memmy to levels similar to Apollo, **except** perhaps when you’ve transitioned to slide to downvote. I could still envision it being useful there.
Werd!
