I've always wondered how much alien life is out there that we've actually seen (or seen signs of) but not recognized because we're blind to life that doesn't seem earth-like.

Have you ever been to an asda?

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 year ago

The only "asda" I know are the letters I type when I'm trying to make sure my keyboard works. (Sometimes "f" sneaks in there too.)

It's a cheap supermarket in the UK

[-] anzo@programming.dev 21 points 1 year ago

Thanks, that clarifies the... Aliens?

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

Hmm, I wonder how they named it? Maybe with a keyboard they weren't sure was working?

[-] scholar@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It has a close competitor named Qwerty

[-] KryptonNerd@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago

It's short for associated dairies

It was a cheap supermarket in the UK. According to Which it’s more expensive than 4 or 5 other supermarkets now.

[-] trueheresy@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

It’s owned by Walmart and is not too dissimilar if that helps give some context. The big superstores much more so, the smaller stores have much less product variety.

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Apparently 10% owned by Wal*Mart and 67% owned by TDR Capital.

[-] trueheresy@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Oh wow, I was way off with my info! Thanks for letting me know… I know nothing of TDR Capital and yet have a feeling I don’t even want to look into them for the sake of my mental health.

I know plenty of alienkin. Life from other worlds exists, but conservative realists will tell you that otherkin are "trolling" or "insane".

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Dunno why you're being downvoted

[-] OccultIconoclast@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

I can't see it, my instance has downvotes disabled. But I figured. Lemmy is a toxic and kinphobic place. A bunch of crabs in consensus reality's bucket, trying to keep the rest of us from escaping.
