Because it's their catfish identity I guess.

In Finland, they advertise the largest container of mayonnaise as "American Size" in c/funny@sh.itjust.works

I think they were exaggerating for comedic effect. I hope..

Fantastic, this was exactly what I needed to get into my most ambitious project that starts tomorrow, thanks!

This is a lovely gesture, but also it's pretty sad (and very North American?) that if your car dies at the store you can't get home without relying on the tenuous kindness of strangers in c/fuckcars@lemmy.world

Definitely yes for tractors, you should see John Deere's business practices and walled garden of maintenance and repairability! Peak capitalism right there.

What seemingly backwards solutions have worked for you in life? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

I grew up in Asia and had a chipped playstation 1 as a kid. It allowed it to read copies, was pretty standard stuff over there the copies could be found in legit stores and everything.

Anyway it started struggling to read the CDs. We figured out if we turned it upside down, it would be able to read them no problem. I suspect it was gravity making the lens come a bit closer to the CDs but don't know for sure.

It was certainly funny having it upside down, worked a charm.

I want to hang a picture of it in my house so when guests compliment me on it I can say "Oh you like it? Me too. It's a picture of Uranus"

Do you support the Fediverse financially? If so how do you distribute contributions between Client/Instance/Platform? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

I donate monthly to my instance.

Did it change? I think it was 14 or 15 when I was that age.

If it could, it would.

Today I discovered a waferless Kit Kat in c/ukcasual@lemmy.world

That bar definitely cost them more than if it had the wafer in. The chocolate has to be the most expensive part.

Feeling nervous... (sopuli.xyz)
 

Hello fellow Lemmy investors. I need to vent/seek advice...

I'm passively invested to what is (for me) a big amount in VWCE... The beatings have been rough since trump took office and a good chunk of my profits have already been wiped out.

Due to a change in careers 2.5 years ago (starting my own business), I've not had as much income as I used to and have not been adding to the fund since then. This fund is my "do-not-touch" fund, I did have cash savings on the side, a decent chunk of which has gone into investments in my business, vehicle, etc.

I'm not wiped out yet and still in the green, and I still have a rainy-days worth amount in cash savings, but if this fuckery is gonna keep going, that won't last much longer I guess. My fund is all-world so it's supposed to rebalance if the US shits the bed (which is why I went for that rather than the traditional S&P500 indexes), but still it's getting beat pretty hard meanwhile. I'm in Europe if that matters.

I don't know what to do, my strategy would say to ignore this and stop looking at the app, but also I can't help being nervous and I really don't want to start seeing my hard-earned savings that I'm keeping for my kid/retirement go in the red...

FOSS tools like Studio Binder for filmmaking (sopuli.xyz)
 

Hey there, I'm looking at producing my first documentary and one of the tools people use for that is called Studio Binder. It's an all-in-one for making your scripts, shotlists, moodboards, location scouting, storyboards, production planning, collaborators management etc etc.

Any of you know of similar tools that are FOSS? I think some VFX/animation pipelines also have similar needs.

I already found storyboarder for making panels which seems amazing but I'm getting a bit lost in the jungle of options for the project management/scripting side of things. I'm considering Airtable for example but might be overkill for my needs.

Ideally it's something tailored for filmmaking specifically but open to hearing about general purpose planners that can be adapted.

What's the Sopuli stance on threads? (sopuli.xyz)
 

I know that's the talk of the minute and the rest of Lemmy is bombarded with arguments about whether to defederate from threads or not.

I'm not looking to start the debates here as well but I'm just curious on our beloved admin's stance about it, are we going to allow federation with threads?

Dead feed? (sopuli.xyz)
 

Hey there, so I registered to Sopuli recently and I'm still getting through the transition out of Reddit, I'll admit right now I'm enjoying the shit show too much to step away but once RiF stops working, I'm probably gonna be around here a lot more.

But right now my feed seems completely dead. I spent some time subscribing to some popular communities from different servers and I try browsing local, all and subscribed. Both hot and active serves me posts that are days, sometimes weeks old.

What can I do to get more content in my feed? I was just browsing the kbin front page (without an account) and was seeing fresher posts from Lemmy servers than I'm getting in Jerboa so it must be something wrong on my end and not just that's there's too little content.
