Same here, it seems to be the most common in tech circles online. I’ve never once said it and have someone understand. Not the meaning, nor the words.

paraplu@piefed.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you think of imitation and lab-grown meats?English1·17 days agoRegarding milk as a name: plant milks are not new. Whitish liquids just get called milk. Even the real weird ones like pigeon milk.

It’s an iPhone, I’m not sure how much of a thing those are. I know for the handful of specific apps that I’ve bothered to check for my significant other, I’ve always come up empty handed.

I don’t use any of the emoji that could have a skin tone. I will occasionally use emoji, but don’t find that the faces or hands are useful.
paraplu@piefed.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your personal threshold for being grossed out by owning an object that was once part of a living being, and why?English2·1 month agoOh yeah, being turned into a book is unlikely to be worth the headache for anyone involved. The tree burials that are legal in some spots is a reasonable option. Or just donation to science.
Whatever is cheapest/lowest fuss is fine. If that means I get reused or recycled great! If not, just don’t let me be a bother.
Sky burial is also awesome. Hopefully there are enough vultures to keep that up in at least some places. There’s a 99% Invisible episode that talks about collapsing vulture populations resulting in issues with doing it in India.

Weirdly enough, I still think my preferred way to dispose of my eventual cadaver is being made into a book.
I wouldn’t want to own book me, but I love the idea of being a book. Not like a gruesome one where someone could tell right off, something more boring than that.
paraplu@piefed.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's a fun and harmless way to embarrass your girlfriend?English2·1 month agoThis is in line with other comments. Embarrassing yourself in public with her is potentially funny for both of you.
Trying to embarrass her more directly than that may be crossing a line.
paraplu@piefed.socialto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does anyone here prefer instrumental music over *songs*?English3·1 month agoI’m not sure why the need to draw a firm distinction between the two. I’m quite focused on lyrics if they’re present and in a language I understand. I’m not fussed if they aren’t.
If you find the music in some way engaging, that’s enough. Denigrating other music as in some way lesser than your preferred genre is odd.
I had a similar experience with broodje haring in the Netherlands.
