I have my great grandmother’s tea kettle. One of my earliest memories was at her house using it to fill the bird bath in her garden. I used it regularly until it developed a leak. Now it just sits on a shelf in my office.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What kind of communities would you like to see either created or become more active on Lemmy?
6·10 个月前I was looking for some eyebleach earlier and was disappointed to see how quiet all of the eyebleach communities are.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the most unexpectedly useful item you've ever bought under $20?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•It's Father's Day in the United States. What is a memory of your father that left the greatest impact on your life?
6·11 个月前I know my comment was low effort. I appreciate the supportive response anyway, even if it wasn’t that well deserved.
Thank you.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Who is a celebrity you used to really like, but don't anymore?
31·1 年前For me Bill Cosby was not surprising. Danny Masterson was disappointing. I havent yet heard what Steven Tyler or Kevin Spacey did and now I’m afraid to Google it. I have no idea who Anthony Kiedis is.
…just looked them all up…sigh, yeah. I’m with you. It does make it impossible to appreciate the art with that knowledge.
Apparently wiki identifies it as a “pointing stick”.

…also, I find it amusing that the article does use the term clitmouse.
- What the pfargtl?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What home-cooked meal do you frequently make and still enjoy?
2·1 年前I also take the oven approach to bacon, but I save the grease in a jar and use it for frying eggs and potatoes later.
To build on the original comment, my common breakfast option is also potatoes, eggs and bacon but I usually throw them in a tortilla with cheese and salsa. Perhaps more often I make the same thing, but with peppers and onions instead of bacon. In my mind it’s a little healthier, but admittedly not much.
Yep. I also keep an infrared thermometer in my kitchen. Sometimes it’s really nice to know the surface temp of a pan too.
This was my go-to for a while. I still keep this one on hand, but I recently have been defaulting to Hoff Sauce more recently. If you see it for sale, I recommend you give it a try.
I think I was the bullet my relationships dodged. I didn’t realize how broken my childhood was and how shitty I treated my girlfriends. I don’t know what changed. Maybe it was just putting some distance between me and my family, but something let me develop a little perspective. I wish I could go back and apologize to so many exes.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What were you surprised to learn wasn't actually normal?
1·1 年前That’s not surprising to me at all. He seems like he would be.

1·1 年前I don’t remember where I was made aware of it, but it was probably this. I used to listen to NSTAAF regularly. This fact probably just got buried in the back of my head until it had the opportunity to come out now.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What were you surprised to learn wasn't actually normal?
2·1 年前Yep, the same sound as when you yawn. I can make it happen without yawning. Honestly, I can only make it for 5-10 seconds before I get “tired”.
Regarding clicks …I’ve no idea what that one is.
Related: I’ve imagined a story where the obedient grunts in the military realize they just the nameless henchmen in an evil organization.

661·1 年前This was a really recent realization for me. I am one of the people who can voluntarily activate the tensor tympani muscles in my ears to create a low level rumbling sound. I recently tried explaining this to someone else and they still think I am making it up.



Have you looked in the laundry basket? That’s where mine usually end up after I take them off.
