Jif is an oven cleaner here. Because I hate everyone, I started pronouncing it Gif. Makes a lot of people very very angry

Is US an abbreviation of an initialism (USA)?

Is pronouncing LED like an acronym common? I’ve never heard it, and it would take me a while to work out what they’re on about if they’re talking about “lead”

I just about exclusively Lemmy from mobile, and auto carrot hates my guts. I end up sounding illiterate most of the time

I tried to sign up for a Facebook account (hate it, but market place seemed like my only option for something I was after) and had my account automatically banned on creation. Twice. They demanded photos of my face, which I begrudgingly gave them, and still never approved my account.

I signed up for a new one with the exact same information from my mobile data plan instead and it worked fine, and I never got banned

Unfortunately most banks in my area don’t offer cheques on personal accounts anymore. You can still cash them, but my bank hasn’t offered cheque books on personal accounts in a good few years (and I think that’s the same case for other banks in my area, too)

Likewise.

It’s also only just now dawning on me /bin is short for /binaries. I always thought it was like… A bin. like a junk drawer hidden in a cupboard

I’ve been on the fediverse for over a year dude, but people from Mastodon don’t generally end up on /all thankfully, so I don’t generally have to deal with it.

Oh. Fair enough. I always forget Mastodonians are allowed to interact with Lemmy from Masto

For any Mastodonians wondering why I asked, this is how it looks from Lemmy:

#Why #are #we #doing #hashtags #on #lemmy #now?

One helpful thing I found is that it can skip “non music sections”, ie those cringey silent scenes they put in YouTube videos. If that’d existed a couple of years ago, I probably wouldn’t have switched to Spotify. I mainly switched because I was sick of random 10 second pauses for dramatic effect in the middle of songs, often right before the chorus

Did you post this twice?

Just out of spite, I reckon I’m gonna start archiving your page :D

If I may ask, how many subs/total views did you amass after a decade?

20 bucks is more than reasonable for a 10 dollar shirt imo. But where I am, often these shirts will go for the equivalent US$50 plus the same or more in shipping. I think that’s a scam. 20 bucks is nothing

At this time of day in this part of the country???

I really wish there was a mainstream social media site Americans were forbidden from using, or at least a way to automatically block/hide them, and their petty little political turf wars from my feed, no matter how I sort.

I take it this is a reference to… Something, but I can’t figure it out. What?

I don’t know if they meet your criteria for a franchise, but any forum based website (including Reddit, Lemmy, etc) always ends up with at least 1 office, friends, or IT crowd reference somewhere in the thread. They’re definitely essential pop culture pillars, even if they don’t qualify as franchises

I’ve still never seen any of them though
