Does anyone else remember CollegeHumor before it went all corporate? That takes me back.

Also surprised this video is still online lol

Black Mirror didn’t do that one, but American Horror Stories did:

Which is surprising because that show normally kinda sucks. Got roped into watching it last year, and I forgot I was watching AHS halfway through and almost thought it was a new Black Mirror.

It’s like we’re on a speed run toward the near-future Charlie Brooker warned us about.

But TBF, “Hang the DJ” was one of the few Black Mirror episodes that wasn’t a total downer.

Also yes 😆

Not that, specifically, but I get annoyed when people post screenshots of videos that have the “play” icon on them. My dumbass clicks on those 9 times out of 10.

South Park: What Scientologists Actually Believe

Beyond that, it’s a cult / pyramid scheme.

Also, check out Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath documentary for a good insider’s perspective.

It’s not the documentary, but here’s Leah explaining the scam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oM-FrI5Hqto

I think they’re stating the opposite: that there are multiple posts about it in many, many communities.

I’ve seen those both on YouTube and at festivals. They’re pretty cool.

Personally, I don’t even like opening a can of biscuits because of the ‘pop’, so I don’t know how I’d feel about using one of those at home. lol

I do prefer to pan pop, but sometimes I’m just lazy and want to throw it in the microwave and only press one button.

Colloquially, it means we’ll hopefully stop seeing “AI” shoved into every nook and cranny of every piece of software to tick a buzzword box.

I stopped eating fast food during covid and never got back into it.

The one time, post covid, I was out and stopped to eat, it was gross. But it’d been so long, I genuinely don’t know if it had always been gross and I lost my acclimation to it, or if it was actually more gross than it used to be.

Anecdotally, I’ve heard complaints online that the quality has gone down while the prices went up, so it probably has gotten worse.

I did eventually learn that (read it somewhere), but by that point, I’d started using the air fryer. I’m also not above eating cold pizza straight out of the fridge lol.

Air fryer is the best

It really is. I was late to the air fryer game assuming they were just another kitchen gimmick, but once I caved to peer pressure and bought one, I can’t imagine not having one.

but I find it works way better with a reduced power setting and a little longer

I think that’s what the “Pizza” button on mine does. You can hear it kicking on and off at a weird cadence similar to but more frequent than defrost, so I assume that’s how it works.

Frying in a stovetop pan can work for hand tossed or thin pizza

I’ve never tried that, but we have baked deep dish style in a cast iron frying pan.

The pizza button works pretty well (I think it varies the power kind of like defrost does), but civilized people should always either eat leftover pizza cold or reheat it in the air fryer lol.

The only one I can really see is !statistics@lemmy.world but it doesn’t appear to be active at all. The only moderator for it hasn’t posted anything in a year or so.

Looks like some “if you build it, they will come” is needed.

Not sure of the procedure, but you may reach out to the LW admins to see about taking over the community if the mod is confirmed AWOL.

Mid 2000’s microwave. Has buttons for popcorn, pizza, potato, bacon, and beverage.

Yeah, mostly. It’s a third party UI that you’d use in place of (or alongside) any other. Works on mobile (optionally as a PWA) and desktop.

Not sure if lemmy.ca runs it directly, but the hosted instance is unlocked so that it can connect to any Lemmy instance.

Sadly, Lemmy doesn’t provide crosspost information in the feed; the frontend has to detect those duplicates and roll them up itself.

Not sure if any other UIs do, but Tesseract will match crossposts on title as well as URL (the default UI only uses URL). I wrote that behavior in specifically for what you described; I was annoyed by seeing 3-4 duplicate posts to different communities all in a row.

It’s not perfect since the crosspost rollups only happen if the duplicates are fetched in the same batch, but it does help a lot.

Maybe I’m remembering early/beta Teams with rose tinted spectacles, but at the very least the silver lining was that I no longer needed to keep a separate Windows machine running just for work IM.

I even tried adding it to Citrix, but it refused to install on a server version of Windows.

We used to use it before switching to Google Workspace (don’t get me started on how much I hate that), and Teams wasn’t too bad. But it had two things going for it then:

• It was replacing Skype for Business which never should existed because it was so awful. Compared to SfB, literally anything was an improvement.
• At the time, it was basically a Slack clone that didn’t have everything and the kitchen sink bolted on yet and was decently lightweight if you used the browser version.

That’s why I’m trying to block out all this and enjoy this last month and a half as best I can.
