The main thing I use Twitter for is to follow local sports and unfortunately, only one of the local reporters has a Mastodon account

I’m not super experienced with making pickles. Would you want to reheat the brine before adding back into the jar to better help it penetrate the pickles?

I have xanthan gum in my pantry that I use for thickening/stabilizing and it would definitely serve the same function, although the ratios might need to be adjusted slightly (not as familiar with guar gum, so idk if they can be subbed 1:1)

I’m an info addict and I want to see twenty posts on a page, briefly scan through them and keep scrolling down, just droves and droves of headlines that I can react to and completely skip past reading the article and go straight into commenting on it like I’m an expert on this thing I didn’t even know about 5 minutes ago.

lol are you me?

the dev of Sync is making a Sync for Lemmy app. I’m assuming it’s going to be a similar UI to the Reddit version, which I’m stoked about because that was the majority of my Reddit experience

I used to work in a call center that had some TVs placed sporadically throughout the call floor. It was up to the manager what they wanted to have play on the TV of their row. Some would play the generic company slideshow that showed random stats and quotes and corporate rah rah BS, but others were fine with normal TV like EPSN or whatever. My manager was the head of the department and said he was fine with us putting whatever we wanted on the TVs. Unfortunately, me and the people around me couldn’t see our row’s TV from our desk, but we could see the TV of the row next to us; however, that manager was a complete power-tripping asshole and only wanted the company slide-show.

I would always use the IR blaster on my phone to change the TV to ESPN when his back was turned and see how long it took him to notice. Whenever he did notice, he’d walk around super mad trying to figure out who did it but he never suspected me. Eventually he just gave up and just let the TVs stay on ESPN.

And that’s the story of how I used the IR blaster on my phone to slowly bully the asshole manager into being slightly less of an asshole.
