DJKJuicy@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Did you (like me) take up drinking Earl Grey because it was Picard's beverage?2·1 month agoIt definitely made me want to like Earl Grey. It’s just not my jam though. It even made me start trying all the different teas I could find because I wanted to be cultured enough to have a preferred tea. I even tried Lapsang Souchong which is basically barbecue tea.
Turns out tea is pretty easy to drink and I’m pretty basic. Oolong, black, or green are great.
DJKJuicy@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•Why are Google's Assistant(s) so bad nowadays?English14·2 months agoGoogle Assistant on Android and Home devices gets markedly worse as time goes on. My Google Home can barely even figure out how to turn on lights anymore. Things that used to be amazing have devolved into “I don’t understand”.
It’s really quite shocking and hurts a little bit because it feels like everything in the world is degrading and decomposing like in some dystopian novel or something.
How can such amazing technology get worse? Is it really just “we can’t make money off this”?
DJKJuicy@sh.itjust.worksOPto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Why don't Taco Trucks have a recognizable theme song and menu like Ice Cream Trucks?2·2 months agoThat song would work! Now to convince all the Taco Trucks to play the same song so we know when they’re around the corner.
DJKJuicy@sh.itjust.worksOPto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Why don't Taco Trucks have a recognizable theme song and menu like Ice Cream Trucks?2·2 months ago“It’s Raining Tacos” would work.
The song is not public domain though.
DJKJuicy@sh.itjust.worksOPto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Why don't Taco Trucks have a recognizable theme song and menu like Ice Cream Trucks?5·2 months agoJust to be clear I don’t want to own and run a Taco Truck, I just heard the Ice Cream Truck and wished it was a Taco Truck.
Seems like missed opportunity to me, though.
DJKJuicy@sh.itjust.worksOPto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Why don't Taco Trucks have a recognizable theme song and menu like Ice Cream Trucks?17·2 months agoI stopped being excited for the Ice Cream Truck decades ago, but if I heard the Taco Truck coming around I’d be super excited and run outside with a big grin.
I don’t disagree. I grew up as poor as the characters in this comic and we were definitely not happy like they are. It’s fiction and doesn’t account for the harshness of reality and very callously ignores the lack of a social safety net.
However, the point of the comic still hits home. Life was much simpler when I was young and poor. The complexities and unnecessary stress of the life I lead now seem almost ridiculous in comparison.
I think the message can be interpreted though. It doesn’t have to be taken so literally.
I am the exact same person today in my big adult house with my grown-up job as I was 25 years ago in my tiny little apartment living off $9 an hour. Houses, cars, jobs, promotions…these things don’t really change who you actually are. A 25% raise at work won’t make you 25% happier.
You can still have a job that pays money and benefits and choose to downsize the rest of your life and eliminate all that stress. You don’t need a 3,000 sq. ft. house with a 3 car garage and a marble kitchen island to be happy… You’re still going to be the same you.
DJKJuicy@sh.itjust.worksto Voyager@lemmy.world•State of Voyager for Lemmy, 2025 editionEnglish5·3 months agoYes. It is too easy to lose your place by accidentally hitting back twice, then everything refreshes.
DJKJuicy@sh.itjust.worksto Voyager@lemmy.world•State of Voyager for Lemmy, 2025 editionEnglish2·3 months agoYes, please add this type of navigation.
I asked for a “back confirmation” in a different comment for the same reason. It’s too easy to accidentally lose your place.
DJKJuicy@sh.itjust.worksto Voyager@lemmy.world•State of Voyager for Lemmy, 2025 editionEnglish15·3 months agoPlease add some well placed “back” confirmations. For example, when browsing All please ask for a confirmation when hitting back before returning to Home.
DJKJuicy@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If it is common knowledge that shutting a garage door with a running ICE vehicle inside will kill you, why do you think so many people think 1 billion ICE vehicles aren't bad in the atmosphere?11·4 months agoWhen you’re outside all the gases coming out of your car’s tailpipe go up into the sky where they turn into stars.
Duh.
Edit: was looking at the serious answers. I apologize for my sarcasm.
DJKJuicy@sh.itjust.worksto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Do you think there's one really obsessed T. J. Hooker fan out there who gets super pissed off that everyone always looks at William Shatner and thinks Star Trek?6·5 months agoYes. I have a buddy who is this person. I’m not kidding.
He is a big Star Trek fan, but he is also literally the only T.J. Hooker fan that I’ve ever met, and he was a T.J. Hooker fan before he was a Star Trek fan. (It’s worth noting we’re both in our late 40s.)
Coming across this randomly on a Wednesday evening renews my faith in The Internet. I was starting to think the whole thing was a bad idea. Thank you!
It just finally cooled off where I live. I can spend more than 15 minutes outside without sweating.
I’m so happy. I call it Reverse Seasonal Affective Disorder. The first day around May that it hits 90⁰ outside I’m depressed until late October.
DJKJuicy@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What would 10 year old you be the most surprised about you now?2·5 months ago10 year old me would be extremely disappointed in my Christmas lights.
I should have Clark W. Griswold level lights, but with colors and blinking lights.
Instead I put up all plain white lights along the windows and doors and a wreath like a reasonable person.
It’s so much work as an adult with adult responsibilities to find time to hang lights, and even worse when you have to take them down.
I am ashamed.
