My dream car has been the Jaguar XK8 for a solid 20 years, my understanding is that they’re about as reliable as an all electric Renault but 10 year old me was more focused on the beauty and so is 30 year d me.

I seemingly have a complete disregard for anonymity.

The football/soccer sub isn’t niche on Reddit obviously but it is absolutely tiny here (on the plus side, it’s managed to claim its rightful name this time. Suck it, gridiron)

As for my team, Everton, well… Lemmy’s probably not miserable enough for us to be well represented just yet.

StumbleUpon and RSS feeds were my go to for internet aggregation before I ended up on Reddit.

I drive a little Skoda so I’m very cautious on those little roads, don’t have the same feeling of safety as the great big SUVs that barrel along

I drive on a lot of rural roads in the UK, mainly Wales, most of the time I’m just happy when the road has space for two cars to squeeze through and some visibility for what’s coming around the corner of that rural lane. Actual physical lines separating the lanes? Oh boy it’s my birthday. Yet with all that, we have a death rate per 100 million miles of just over a third of somewhere like the US, so I’d imagine the size of cars and inadequate licence requirements are probably bigger issues for road safety

Yeah sorry I meant to say I know I’ve seen it mentioned as a factor before, didn’t know whether it’s actually true or not. If that’s not a factor, get on it Murica.

A decent set of precision kitchen scales, and some general use scales that don’t have a massive delay on them #WeightSupremacist4Lyf

But seriously, fuck you, measuring cups. Fuck. You.

A kettle is such a default kitchen item in the UK that I find it kinda crazy that it’s not standard somewhere like the US, though I know I’ve seen the difference in base voltage being a factor before.

If you can think of a stupid opinion you can find a redditor that holds it, that’s just what happens when you have a huge terminally online community.

I’ve always heard it as Joe Bloggs. The Bloggs bot is believed to be a derivation of bloke

“hottest summer on record? Give it a rest, they say that every year!”

Also I’m in the UK which has been raining and dreary for the last month so it’s not getting as much coverage here.

I wake up from my beautiful dream and realise how much shit I’ve left to build up. Then I go back to ignoring said shit, grab the dog and drive to Snowdonia to go for a hike.

Yep, I’ve had to stop browsing through All because it’s just full of shite memes, shame as I was finding new communities here and there between all the guff

You probably won’t be surprised to learn that I am very much a James Hoffman disciple, between that and being a foodie I was always destined to be a weight supremacist.

I’d expect Lemmy to be a little older on average since a big chunk of the userbase is made up of people that had used reddit since the early days and want to recapture that, that demography also tended to be even more dominantly male, techy and political than the average redditor

^^ thanks for doing it for me 😂 volumetric measuring can get to fuck for anything precise

Me every time somebody asks why I use scales for everything

Guess I’m gonna have to give bitwarden a go, I’ve used LastPass for years but their quality of service and value for money has plummeted.

My subscription feed isn’t big enough yet for me to just scroll through that so I’ve been dipping in and out of… I was about to say /r/all but whatever the Lemmy word for that is, and there seems to be a new dumb community flooding my feed every day - yesterday it was 196, today it was weirdgirlmemes. I just block them and carry on
