When a fish bites your heel and it looks like an eel, that's a moray!

Feel free to leave it though! Mycology-noobs but still interested in what grows in the forest like me love to see stuff like this!

Not in the curriculum, though a sister of a classmate actually fell while running with scissors. Permanently blind in one eye, and a lozenge as pupil. Indeed not something you forget easily.

Maybe just search for better games then. There's plenty of mobile games that don't rely on gambling. Most are indie, but there are really some gems in there.

Secretly? I thought this was common knowledge. Mine definitely demands worship and pets every day.

Optional extra point to add on to #5: if the community that needs to replace a subreddit isn't here yet, MAKE IT. And advertise it, so it can get popular. Be the change you want to see!

Preventive maintenance? As in, where you take your car in every year for an oil change so it doesn't end up as one gigantic blob that gums up your entire engine or having your brake pads completely disintegrate, cleaning the lint out of a sewing machine, greasing your bike gears, ...

Yeah, at the very least scratch the "face to face". I'd be more inclined to agree if a message or a call is acceptable, but some guys you really, really don't want to see in person a second time.

I don't speak Spanish at all, but I really wish more languages would adapt it. It's so much easier to interpret a sentence knowing it's meant to be a question or exclamation right from the start.

As I go back there now after the protest, I find reddits' content less and less interesting. I used to be able to lose hours on there, now I get bored after 5 minutes and get back to lemmy. It'll keep on existing, but here's hoping many more mainstream and non-techy users like me found the fediverse and know there's valid alternatives now.

Shawls! (cdn.discordapp.com)
submitted 1 year ago by tchotchony@mander.xyz to c/crochet@lemmy.ca

I recently took crocheting back up after a decade, and this is my first finished shawl ever. Two of my friends are getting married in autumn, and they both like to wear shawls so I decided I'd make one for each of them (and if they don't like it, I'm sure their cats will appreciate their new basket liner).

The one at the top is just finished, and is a free pattern Klaziena shawl with Scheepjes brambleberry whirl. The end corners are a bit turned inside, but well, first shawl ever, could've been worse.

This is the second one, Ceylon Tea shawl pattern with Peppermint Patty scheepjes whirl. Still got quite a ways to go, but I'm really loving the pattern!

Out of solidarity with the blackout I'm staying completely off reddit until the 15th. After that I'll probably keep checking both. I really like lemmy and it's smaller community feel, but it has some bugs (the eternal scrolling of the "all" page for one) and it's very tech-oriented at the moment. There's not yet that many arts & craft or hobby communities yet, and those that exist are very, very quiet. Not that I need it to get as big as reddit, but more than 2 people active would be nice.

And I actually like the different feel of both, the fact that there's not that many bots (yet) floating around here, people actually discussing things instead of just downvoting you at the slightest disagreement, ... The scientific info on Mander is extremely interesting too, lots of great articles being linked instead of reddits' reposts every couple of days. So I think I'll stay active on both lemmy and reddit. They offer different things, and that's great.

I'm not sure if I entirely follow. So they don't need to verify (effectively legalizing child labour), but why would that remove liability for injuries?
