Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.

Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.

Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

Pretty excited and worried to start my life. Honestly haven't got any plans

It's okay, just one step at a time and you'll be fine!

Being so stress and depressed these two days, starting to feel physically uncomfortable at chest area. I hope I'm ok.

Anyway how are you guys doing?

[–] Naomikho@monyet.cc 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That usually means something's really bad(speaking from experience). Please take care of yourself!

I woke up to an fb marketplace listing of mine going viral - 76 views and 11 saves in just a couple of days of relisting. This is a niche camera equipment btw, listed for 5 weeks already.

Sold it yesterday for well below market value. I should have deliberated the buyers offer for a bit longer and wait for offers instead of just saying yes to his lowballing and sell it to him… oh well.

[–] penanglang@monyet.cc 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Sorry to hear that... I tend to do that too! Especially when something been sitting around for a while with no bites. We've heard of buyer's regret, I guess this can be called seller's regret, haha

[–] dukeGR4@monyet.cc 2 points 1 year ago

maybe i've been desensitised by too many lowballers, the moment someone acts decent I will go out of my way to close the deal...

I will be putting up another camera of mine to flip, essentially 50-70% of pure profit, here's to hoping that the market and its players will treat me nice lol

I swore I've heard of that before, must be a drug, or a condom or something...

Googled it, it's the heartwood of trees.

[–] rakyat@monyet.cc 2 points 1 year ago

It sounds a lot like ubat kuat lelaki

[–] truckdrifter2@monyet.cc 1 points 1 year ago

Their latest horror is pizza x ramen. Mama mia!

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 2 points 1 year ago

Oof, today's weather is lit. Like, literally.

[–] weecious@monyet.cc 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Finally swapped it for silver.

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dem, this one looks really good!

[–] weecious@monyet.cc 1 points 1 year ago

Nice right? That's why I'm willing to wait for it.

[–] dukeGR4@monyet.cc 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Was driving and the AWD failed and I drove home with just FWD haha.

When I got home it fixed itself and I have AWD again.

Finally got a week of vacation, but am totally exhausted from my family already. Then I got sick on top of that :x

[–] OldManGenghis@monyet.cc 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why are testicular implants a thing?

Guess it's to fill the gap after removing a cancerous testicle, and not purely for aesthetic purpose.

[–] rakyat@monyet.cc 1 points 1 year ago

Ah interesting! That makes more sense

[–] ruk_n_rul@monyet.cc -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So the lone testis has a friend...

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 1 points 1 year ago

Takes two to test tickle

What's the English version of "dapat betis nak peha?" 🤔

[–] munkkey@monyet.cc 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Give them an inch and they will take a yard/mile? Quite wordy I know.

[–] ruk_n_rul@monyet.cc 0 points 1 year ago

I looked it up and the strangest result appears: camel's nose.

Apparently it's a Victorian era, and Victorian made, idiom about an Arabian idiom of letting just the camel's nose in the tent, which eventually results in the entire camel being under it.

[–] munkkey@monyet.cc 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I also first thought of that Chinese proverb, which is literally "get an inch, advance to a foot".

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, dunno which based on which, both is being used widely

[–] truckdrifter2@monyet.cc 1 points 1 year ago

Literal? Get calf, want thigh

Figurative? Hmm... maybe 'Wants a ton for an ounce?'
