  • For me it was eggs. My mom wasn’t that great a cook and she’d only make two types of eggs: hard boiled eggs or these sort of way way overcooked sunny side up eggs. Never liked either so grew up thinking I just don’t like eating eggs.

    Later on as I got older I realized there are other egg dishes and I actually really like eggs. Scrambled eggs is pretty much my favorite breakfast. A close second is egg and cheese on a bagel.










  • Video editing / post production is the type of work that you need to have contacts in the industry to really get by. So you’d still apply to job postings but after a while the different production crews working on projects will have your info & can book you on future gigs when things go well.

    I am not in that field but have a few friends/family doing it. Traditionally the majority of those type of jobs tend to be in the NYC area or southern California. I know people use Mandy to look for those type of jobs but I’m not too up to date on other places. That yt site you mentioned seems a bit hacky, maybe designed to attract beginner youtube influencer types.



  • I rarely block people. I find it better just to leave Lemmy communities with problematic/annoying users… lemmy.world communities are the worst in that sense.

    e.g. it might be me commenting in a non-political community about something random and then people jumping in and politicizing the thread and/or anything I wrote there. If I wanted to talk politics I’d join a politics sub, dealing with people that turn each and every post into something political gets old fast. And if the community moderators aren’t interested in moderating that shit then what’s the point sticking around in that community? So rather than block people I just leave those communities entirely & move on.



  • When you carry it by the handle it’s so long that it may scratch the ground

    Always assumed that’s a short person problem. Source: Am short, same thing happens to me.

    Maybe there’s a better way to deal with that but what I usually do is add a knot to each handle so the handles are shorter, that way the bags are higher from the ground.

    That’s when using re-usable grocery bags/totes with long handles.



  • Yes of course, I meant as a general idea of what you’d aim to do lacking any other information beyond the fact that the bomb itself fell in the local downtown area (going by the post itself).

    Thing is if a bomb dropped that close most people will not know what the scale of the bomb was, what the design was, how far exactly they were from the blast radius, whether it’s ground / atmospheric, wind direction, all that stuff. In that short amount of time you’d just need to run into the nearest still-standing shelter & figure things out from there.

    Hopefully with some extreme luck the bomb would fall just as you were walking/driving past your nearest fallout shelter and can easily get in. Or you’re a prepper and aren’t far from your homemade bunker with supplies, radio, and whatnot.


  • Say there is a nuclear explosion in the downtown of my US city.

    If it’s that close you then essentially you’ll need to decide whether to die quick or slow :/

    If you’re actually planning on surviving you’d need to stay in an underground bunker or something similar for at least 3-5 weeks to be safe enough to travel outside (and we’re assuming you have clean sources of food/water, bathroom, etc, during that time). If you make it that far then afterwards you’d likely want to go outside & get as far away from the radiation zone as possible.

    Coincidentally the basement of my work building actually has a fallout shelter sign from back in the day so the basement might survive a blast but I don’t see how I’d make it 3-5 weeks without being extra prepared for that beforehand.
