My only issue with this is that it's been posted in the Lemmy Shitpost community, and it's not shit at all.

That's fair enough. Frequently when I've seen a reference to the joke I'm referencing, it's followed by a "IYKYK", so I figured it's fun for those who already do. It's a reference to an old Folgers ad in which a brother and sister behave in an implausibly affectionate way toward each other. It's just bad acting, but viewed with a cynical mindset, it seems very suspicious.

Underrated comment at the bottom there. IYKYK

I'm not by any means a knife guy, but I read all your weird knife Wednesday reviews (and many of your other reviews) because they're both entertaining and fascinating. The way your joyful reverence for the art and craft of knife design give your writing a kind of sincerity that is nearly extinct in modern social media (or anyway I've become cynical enough that it seems so). This Lemmy community (perhaps your work is available elsewhere, but I've only encountered it here) is an obscure pocket of intense, earnest, and skillfully delivered enthusiasm that feels like a secret garden or hidden library nook filled with nearly-overlooked pleasures.

You're doing a great service to the community, is what I mean to say. And I could go no longer without expressing my gratitude. That's all.

I heard that story as part of the Behind the Bastards series on Vince McMahon. It was an excellent and very entertaining four- or five-episode series.

I noticed the same thing. It might be hidden due to anti-features. I found it on NeoStore.

I'm in this picture and I don't like it.

If you own a Tesla and you're eating Chic-fil-a, it's because you want to. If you sit in your 115–degree Tesla for 40 minutes and record it on Tiktok, it's because you want to.

I started getting treated for ADHD at age 45. I confronted my mom about how she and my dad treated me when I was young, constantly berating and punishing me for "not living up to my potential", "not caring enough about school", "not applying myself", and explained that my behavior was almost certainly undiagnosed ADHD.

She was like, "Yeah. I know, right?"

I write good code now.

ohhh. I see.

Is this header image a subliminal suggestion to use Orion browser?

Do pigs wag their tails like dogs when they're excited?

I feel this. It's exactly as condescending as "naive" and means basically the same thing.

While this was an interesting read over all, I suspect what I'll remember most from it is the origin of the expression "a pig in a poke".

Hahaha good point.

Ah yes, Anubis, god of death. Exactly who I want to take safety advice from.

Ah yes, businessinsider. My go-to site for information about astrophysics.

I had a black cat when I was a kid and his name was Spooky. I think if I ever have another male black cat, I'd name him Nox, or for a female, Nyx.

For me it feels like complete inability to focus on anything or to recall specific concepts (like not being able to think of a word).

This is a super interesting thread because I wonder if what I'm experiencing is even brain fog at all, or just ADHD. And I also wonder how other folks know when they're feeling brain fog.

Like, do any of you have a test for yourself to know when you're feeling brain fog (or inversely, a test to be sure you're not)?
