Lmao that's a good one

Lol yes I told my doc I tried Adderall in high school with a friend and we were both like wow I feel so focused. She then later got diagnosed and I was like yeah, she told me I should get checked out. Turns out there's a reason I felt focused lol.

I'm just picturing June cleaver speaking jive on an airplane now...

TIL I hang out with just enough youngins to read this and be like "they like your outfit." It's gotta be the early 20s kids at work that I've caught onto what they're saying lol.

I've thoroughly enjoyed Bitwarden. Their free version meets my needs but I pay for the paid because I think it's great.

Oh no! Last time I got that it was because I was wearing crappy work boots. I hope your feet feel better ASAP!

I saw so many that I went and got checked and I was initiated into the club lmao

I tried one of those "for ADHD" aps tiimo I think it was. It was great for about 3 days because it was new and exciting and the I just never used it again.

I use calendars for birthdays and for the people I need to gift I set up reminders to buy or send gifts that way. Anything I need to do goes in the calendar too or I'll forget about it.

Not so much an app but smart home stuff has been a game changer. I just setup my washer and dryer on a smart plug so I get notifications when my laundry is done. At some point I'll give myself reminders I haven't done anything with it too lmao. I also have lights turn on and off at certain times, doors auto lock after 2 minutes, I'm changing out my bathroom fans soon for humidity sensors, and I'm sure I'll come up with more.

Ohh app stuff. Scheduling text messages! Sometimes I forget people exist so when I remember I'll schedule a text or two for a few days later to keep a conversation going or start a new one so they're not always the one to text first.

I do water maintenance. Flowing hydrants, turning water valves, leak detection etc. I keep the water in city pipes doing it's job.

This is a great resource thank you so much!

If it's meant as a compliment and the person isn't getting a creep, I take it as a compliment.

That's a great idea! I work 10 hour days with an hour commute each way. I definitely pay someone to deal with my yard lmao

 

Let's see if I can get all this link formatting down haha.

We are not the Reddit TwoXChromosomes but we did see that they did not exist here and all the search results happened to be users looking for it so here it is! If anyone from the Reddit 2x wants to mod, inbox me on reddit or lemmy, same username.

No lawns has over 150k subs on Reddit and we're currently participating in the reddit protest (and will be depending on how our poll goes). I found slrpnk.net and wanted to bring another bit of No Lawns over to lemmy.

Our main goal is to promote native plants over non natives, create a healthier yard for everyone, and enjoy some pretty flowers.

 

I am currently a professor in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware. I have also authored the New York Times best seller Nature’s Best Hope and I have authored and co-authored additional books such as Bringing Nature Hope, The Living Landscape, and The Nature of Oaks. In addition, I have authored over 100 research publications in my field.

I have also founded Home Grown National Park which is a grass roots whos mission is: "To regenerate biodiversity and ecosystem function because every human being on this planet needs diverse highly productive ecosystems to survive."

Here is the link to our website with the copy and paste of the AMA and here is the link to the original Reddit AMA.

Hey all, updated the sidebar description with some links :) I tried to copy the reddit wiki as best I could to a free website so if there's any issues (or continuing the protests) with reddit we still have the information.

Edit: Updated sub icon both here and reddit

Why No Lawns? (slrpnk.net)

Well why would I want a boring grass mono culture yard?

This is basically how no lawns started. Over on Reddit just over 5 years ago I started no lawns after having a fun conversation with u/suuperdad about changing the boring grass lawn into some thing more native and better for the environment. On a whim I created a subreddit for it and we started with a hand full of people and now we're pretty good sized!

With the reddit blackout on, we realized this community needed to be bigger than Reddit. We already started a discord and we have an Instagram (although I'm terrible at updating it) we wanted to reach even more spaces.

I found slrpnk on accident but, it seemed to really fit with our theme and here we are!

We're anti monoculture, pro natives plants and we love a non traditional yard.

 

Just as the title asks, what's your dream yard if money and time weren't a concern? Would you have a pond, a prairie, a forest, a food forest or something else?

This will become the official NoLawns Lemmy. I just have not uploaded the banner and such due to work. I'll be redirecting the Lemmy reddit link in the wiki to here.
