I bought a milkshake on a beach boardwalk a couple weeks ago, as a treat, cuz I was at the beach, yknow, why not. The last time I had a milkshake was probably this time last year. They only offered one size, 20 oz. I would have preferred less, but whatever. My friend got a single scoop in a cup. About a third of the way into my shake, she was done w her scoop, and i did not want to eat anymore milkshake, but I also didn’t want to be wasteful, so I ate the rest of it, but it was not good anymore. It was too much sugar, and then my tummy hurt haha. Her lil scoop was the perfect amount and cost less than my stupid thing.

Sorry, you didn’t ask for this anecdote. It was all to say: I agree with you, sure they taste good, kinda, but only for a minute and then the suffering comes.

Oh, I thought we were talking about my ex husband

This is a cool new vocabulary word, thank you. Would you consider the aura some people get before migraines to fit this definition?

I started using reddit in 2011, I’m not a power user or major contributor by any means. But I’m a lonely person who got joy out of my small niche communities, and I fear those are the spaces that will take the longest to reappear on lemmy, especially because I have no interest in modding or starting any of them myself. I haven’t actually subscribed to any communities on lemmy yet, I’m waiting for the sync app to be ready so things will be more like I’m used to using (aka easier) and then I’ll log into old reddit on my computer, write down all the subreddits I’m subscribed to, and begin to see which ones exist on the different lemmy instances and start to make this place feel more like my lil internet home. I liked tithe reddit experience more when I first started using it, and I’m excited for lemmy to kind of have that feeling again, since it’s new and small still.
