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.

Calls I never reject:

  • family
  • nature

Why do ppl keep forgetting kbin instances... Y'all act like ppl on mastodon

[–] Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I am ignorant of the difference, what is the difference?

[–] cendawanita@monyet.cc 3 points 1 year ago

It's got microblogging feature enabled. In most other functionality that Lemmy users understand those instances have them too. But the microblogging does mean it can be easier to follow microbloggers like those on mastodon instances

Why am I getting so many ads for alcohol on FB? I don't drink lol

Also found out what the rattling noise in my car is from, it rattles every time I'm in D in a traffic light. Turns out it is the trunk, tried adjusting the lock and re-tourqe the hinges but nothing works, I guess new hinges are needed. Shit has been driving me crazy for months.

Bro my car boot area is rattling as well, I thought it was the number plate and I insulated it but it didn’t do anything.

Driving me nuts….

Good afternoon, had a very intense Saturday night, go right up to morning, sleep like a log and just woke up at quarter past 3. Howdy

Is it just me or Lemmy is ultra far left, even more left than reddit. Saw so many pro communist posts on All.

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

Shh… don’t tell Fahmi fadzil.

Komunis?! HARAM!!!!

The lemmy developers are mainly composed of Marxist-Leninists that's why

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

Got attacked a few days ago for talking about social democracy and proper taxation to fund social programs.

Apparently that’s still too capitalistic for them 🥲

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

Yes this dev team has a well-earned reputation as tankies (as in to say pro-russia beyond everything reasonable)

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

I'm waist deep into A History of Selangor book right now and apparently the American miners I mentioned a few days ago did start a tin mining operation near Reko (near Kajang) using Orang Hitam labourers. 🤔

Could be Orang Asli as well? Africans seem like such a ways away but fascinating fact regardless

[–] ruk_n_rul@monyet.cc 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

This was a recounting from the local Malays, who always knew the orang aslis by other, more specific, names. Even the book clarified them as Blacks.

I forgot to date the story but it's from the 1840s.

Anyway, here's a full excerpt:

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

sike, it's actually orang minyak

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

Could be? Imagine being the American blacks, with their mixed christian-voodoo-west african beliefs, transplanted for labour to a foreign land with no b*tches. What do? 🤔

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

My my my what an interesting piece of history indeed!

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

Oh nice, since that’s my hood maybe I should investigate a bit.
