That’s my Subscriptions feed, sorted by hot. This is the only post that’s about that orangered site.
PS: Oh, if you’re wondering, yeah, that’s from Lemm.ee I am using my lemmy.world account right now to make this comment though.
Just an ordinary myopic internet enjoyer.
Can also be found at lemm.ee, lemmy.dbzer0, and Kbin.social.

There’s also lemmynsfw for that kind of thing.
Thanks for this tip. I’ll keep this in mind the next time I’d literally touch grass (like a camping trip or sth), lol!
Yeah, I suppose it isn’t as crazy as I thought people would perceive it to be.
I’ve always used a Bluetooth speaker for listening to music in the shower. It’s much easier and doesn’t require me touching my phone.
Doesn’t this damage your Bluetooth speaker? Or is it, and especially its controls, waterproof/water-resistant?
Hahaha! Touché. I’ve had none. I’ve some weird thoughts as I drift off to sleep though.
I sometimes listen to music or watch videos in the shower. I double-bag it in clear plastic bags, and then put it in a safe location. When I change songs or videos, I can interact with the screen like normal. Maybe it’s just my phone or the plastic bags I use–maybe both?
I use something like below, minus the ziplock:
I suppose there are actual products meant for making phones more waterproof in these situations, but I didn’t bother looking for those.
I’ve used my smartphone in the shower a handful of times already, but I usually take steps to double bag it (put it in a clear plastic bag upside down first, fold the excess, then put it in another clear plastic bag the right way up this time). I also just let it play music/video so that I can listen/watch while I shower.
It feels like a luxury to me when I do that.
My girlfriend’s grandfather decided almost overnight that he was an old man and suddenly began to act the part.
This has brought quite a funny mental image to me.
A man like this
suddenly turning into this
almost like magic.
Coming from someone who was your age before you were born: you do you.
‘Age’ is mostly just a matter of experience and perspective anyways. I could be as old as earth itself but lack the experience to know any better. On the other hand, you could have a better perspective on things (compared to me) because you have been through a lot, or is more thoughtful and reflective about things.
This is my thought as well, it’s not so much as deferring as it is offering them an incentive to migrate. Having a “seal of approval” from the corresponding subreddit also helps in attracting more activity from those who are part of the migration and on the fence about contributing.
I’ve never started a community here, nor do I intend to, but if I were in that situation, I’d at least reach out to my counterpart subreddit.
My oldest account is at 9 years 10 months at the moment. Was a lurker for a time before that too. I haven’t deleted my accounts out of concern of my comments reappearing, but I’ve kept any interaction with that site at a minimum.
Most of the time, I just check to see if any comments resurfaced, or if I’ve got a love letter from the admins. Neither has happened so far, but I’m not sure it won’t happen. Until then, I will keep scrubbing my accounts.
I don’t see myself returning there. I’ve lost any desire to do so, and my old, yet scrubbed accounts will serve as a reminder never to interact with that site ever again. Peek, if I must, but never interact.
