As a person who grew up in Ireland since I was 5: this is funny to me

I moved to quay.io years ago and have never looked back.

I can’t go to sleep if I don’t set an alarm, due to worrying about oversleeping lol

It’s hilarious to me, that “safety first” is written second

Aaah thank you, I reread the original post trying to find a point related to a ladder and eventually decided I just didn’t understand what the “ladder point” was referring to, but now I understand them!

Languages are fun :)

I’m sorry to correct you, but it’s actually nipped in the bud. I’d hate for you to use that in public and get egg on your plate.

This is a great quote, I also like to say (especially in places like airports or government buildings):

It’s not a rat race, it’s a rat queue.

Ok, I can agree with this logic “it’s better to try than to give in” much more than “there’s always a solution”.

That to me still leaves some people starving of hunger due to a lack of money and an excess of bills. But I agree that even in that horrible situation it’s better to keep trying than give in.

I was worried the argument here was closer to “you’re in this terrible situation because you didn’t try enough” which I wholeheartedly disagree with.

I feel now that we’re in agreement though?

This is reductive to the point of absurdity, if this were true no one would ever die from any problem (i.e. drowning, falling, etc.) They’d simply activate ingenuity.

Some problems do not have a solution in a given circumstance.

E.g. I’m locked in a prison on a sinking ship that’s already 1km underwater, and my cell is completely full of water and I’ve held my breath for 2 minutes now.

This is my favourite comment of all my experience with Lemmy so far.

There are no noodles in this picture

I suppose in reality it’s the average of people who post pictures online and are willing to display it publicly, and probably weighted slightly by how many pictures of a person are uploaded (e.g. if someone has uploaded tens of thousands of pics of themselves - a celebrity or whatever - they will throw the average slightly towards their own face). Assuming the sample set is something like: all of social media photos of a person’s face.

“I don’t…”

Ain’t that the tooth
