Cake day: July 2nd, 2023

  • I’d argue the biggest thing stopping most people from doing this is laziness. Which is great.

    Even getting to the store to buy a cake is the only way we do it, making one is too much work (for casual bored cake consumption).

    Probably purely the fact that when we go to the store we don’t have store bought cake on the mind, i we don’t buy it.


  • Nah nah. This is all accurate. However the difference is, you buy it, you eat it, you enjoy the hell out of it.

    Then after dinner, you tell your kids they can have the rest for dessert. And since there’s one piece left, you have the last piece like a hoss. Then it’s gone within a days work, and you can pretend it never happens while the kids think it was the best day ever and it’s a win win situation.



  • I am struggling with finding a space for the majority of my communities of interest over here. I curated such a niche homepage over my decade on Reddit that it does not compare being here. But the apps I have found that simulate my experience on my now defunct third party Reddit apps have kept me here, in the hopes that enough folks will migrate over so that communities will grow in the same way they did on Reddit.

    I know Rome wasn’t built in a day, and I’m stubborn enough in my refusal to use the official Reddit app, and annoyed enough with old Reddit on mobile, that I will sit here and wait for the same experience I used to get over there.









  • You’re thinking too small. You’ve got to ask to have your kids do everything you ask them to do.

    So you say bedtime, they go to sleep. You say sit still and quiet for this particular moment, they listen. You say look here and smile, bam, instant beautiful family picture.

    I’d settle for them listening after the third time I asked them to do something. I’m not greedy.

    For the sleep thing, melatonin is magical. 1/4 of a 1mg melatonin chewable is barely anything but it’ll knock them out because they think it’s supposed to. I could switch to gummy bears now and I bet it would still work on them.


  • As somebody who didn’t, for once, have this specific problem today, but had a printing problem nonetheless, I feel so triggered by this post.

    Why the actual fuck is printing so much harder today than it was a decade ago. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills that we are halfway through 2023 and I have more printing issues than I did even 4-5 years ago, let alone back in the golden days of literally never having printing issues in the first half of my lifetime.



  • I use wefwef and for me the scrolling is similar to Apollo and scratches the itch. I am struggling, though, with subscribing to communities and curating my feed. But also remembering my Reddit feed took years to curate so trying to be patient. I just find more hoops to jump through here to get to the content I want to view (discounting the bugginess of things because I understand it’s new and they’re sorting it out still).

    Bummer there wasn’t a bigger visible hit to Reddit for their shenanigans, but I am glad that more content creators have migrated and more interesting things are also appearing in the feed I have been working on here. It is very green and clunky, but also feels fresh!
