I saw lightening bugs for the first time in years when I moved to the east coast. I was so excited, I caught some and brought them inside to show my cat (I let them back out of course). Next year, nada. So far this year? Also nada. I even made a point to leave the leaves. 😔

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Have any of you ever actually done the cost comparison calculations for cooking vs buying pre-made, including cost of energy?
2·9 months agoI tried with muffins. I have been really into muffins, but it was $7 for a 4 pack. So I bought some mix, eggs, oil, etc., and made my own. I think it came out to a little less than $2 per muffin, which is pretty similar to the original, not to mention I don’t have any dishes.

73·9 months agoI remember when I first saw an ad for this game and thought it looked neat, added it to my wishlist and everything. I looked it up a few weeks/months later and all I saw were gooner posts, or articles about how she’s saving games with her jiggle physics. I removed it simply because I didn’t want to be involved with that community. It was so gross. 🤢

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•'Baby shark, doo, doo.' Popular kids' song used to deter the homelessEnglish
62·9 months agoSomeone already wrote a really good answer, but using the money to help fund programs would be a start. Maybe make a safe place where they can hang out that doesn’t offend you (not you specifically, just in general). If possible, I would even try and talk with them, become neighbors instead of enimies. While tackling homelessness would take a system wide change, I think sometimes just not adding to the problem and shame is the best we can do.
And I get it, I’ve had homeless people scream at me, see them urinate outside, not everything humans do is pleasant, and I also wouldn’t want all of that right in front of my business. But, at least in this example, there is a ton of empty space, the building itself is mostly empty. Come together and make the rest of the unused property a shelter. That parking lot behind them alone was gigantic and I don’t think I saw any cars there, why not let them have part of the parking lot? It just seems easier to be kind and try to work with them than set up a sound system to keep the entire neighborhood up.

543·9 months ago“Are you going to help them? Use the money to help anyone, or maybe take this moment to highlight people in need?”
“The fuck? No, I’m going to make their lives worse for having the audacity to be poor and seeking shelter. How dare they ruin my view with their homelessness.”

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Console war, console war never changes
182·9 months agoSuper expensive, low quality cameras and mics, a janky looking chat, an okay screen, and having to buy games, some of which are years old (Looking at you BOTW), for more than their original buying prices. It’s just greed. It’s always greed. They saw PS and Xbox selling at already crazy prices and just tried to put the switch 2 in there like it’s worth a car payment, or even up to a month’s rent if you want the system, a few games, and a working camera (since the cheaper one is only 480p). And they’re just coming out and saying they’ll be monitoring your screen and chats (which I think more companies do than we think). And they’ll brick your machine if they see any mods or emulations. Want to add a fun mod to Mario party? Get bricked, bitch.
If S2 looks appealing, I would highly recommend looking into the steam deck. I don’t even have the steam deck and this whole promotion cycle has me eyeing it hard which how awful they’re making the S2 launch.

You can get a date, if you lower to standards to anyone. No shade, but are you looking to hit up Ms. “obese, unhygienic, multiple kid having, dirty house and stinky 🐱?” Not saying that you should, but if you accept anything, you’ll get anything.

Games@lemmy.world•What games are just objective masterpieces?English
1·9 months agoI think Bioshock 1, Inscryption, Portal 1 & 2(I believe that 2 wouldn’t be so loved if we didn’t already love 1, I like to think of them as a set), Silent Hill 2, Resident Evil, Nier Automata, and Okami.
Yes. Even with extra withdraws, I always owe. So it’s more of an annoyance. Not to mention I don’t like how my tax dollars are being used. If the US wasn’t such a dumpster fire, I might feel differently.


It was always a comfort to check up on Maru. But he lived well and loved. Rest easy, big guy ❤️
