Believe it or not, I got to a LOT of beaches. And I really don’t see that many butts there, either. (Well, the other kind of butts)

All the smokers I know pocket their butts and toss them in the garbage later 🤷

I guess they still ash their cigs on the ground, but I don’t really see ash as an issue. Maybe it is, but not to my knowledge

Do thimbleberries count? Not sure how local they are to me, but they’re so tasty. Think a sweeter, more fragile raspberry. They make an excellent jam! my only complaint I have is how fragile they are, they only last a day or two in the fridge

Burger Paradox in Duluth, MN. I think the burger was called the Whompling? One of the only things I miss about living in Duluth right there.

This kind of shit was a big motivation for me to leave reddit, and now it’s already on Lemmy. Great.

You can have right leaning beliefs and not be a bigot. Hell, I’m not even right leaning but many of my friends and family are. They are not racist, sexist, transphobic… This kind of post just makes the left look childish.

ETA: you can have conservative views and not vote republican. The republican party is a fucking joke.

Local co-op on Republic Commando was so much fun! It might just be because I was 12, but the gunplay felt awesome and the death match maps were fun and well designed.

I have a family member that had to use a poop knife growing up and I always wondered if that story was him…

Well, as far as I know it hasn’t gotten me sick yet.

Thanks for the new fear, though 🙃

Agreed. I’ve been using the RIF format for a decade, would love a Lemmy app that captured the vibe. Connect for Lemmy is good but I miss that RiF feel.

I think the real money now is selling data for AI training. At least that’s the vibe I’m getting now from all these social media sites limiting API shit. We live in weird times.

My suggestion for a cola replacement would be soda water. I do a wedge of lime in soda and it’s chef’s kiss. Might take some getting used to the lack of sugar, but coke is sickly sweet to me now and I feel a lot better not consuming 60g of sugar in a bottle.

This is something I’d never considered but seems totally plausible. Man, what a crazy time to be alive.
