I would use it. Anything to not have to use public transportation or fly in an airplane ever again.

Maybe he's #winning?

UK here. Most people I work with will have Signal or Telegram. However my kids and the parents groups and schools all use WhatsApp.

None of them could get their friends to switch from WhatsApp. Nobody gives a shit at all about Meta and their dodgy data practices. Convenience is king. "aLL mY frIEnDs aRE oN WHatSaPp!"

They will literally be excluded if they don't use it.

Super-frustrating and makes me feel pretty helpless tbh.

I was primarily interested in r/soapmaking, r/instantpot and r/breadmachines. Also some true crime ones - I've joined the ones I could find here but there's hardly anyone in them.

Yes totally. I originally used Reddit because I was subscribed to some super-niche hobby communities. I never doom-scrolled the front page or anything. These communities don't yet exist in Lemmy yet so I'm kind of hanging around to see what happens. And yes, everything is negative. But to be fair, I didn't sign up expecting to read uplifting stories and people (or bots) are just posting clickbait garbage that the internet is already awash in anyways.

I prefer more discussion forum type communities rather than link aggregators. I just need to keep looking for what I like and subscribing to those so I can filter out the crap.

ya think?

Dealt with by simply rinsing it afterwards

It was okay. I don't mean this as a 'review', but I saw it a couple of months ago and I don't really remember what the point of it was. The most interesting thing to me was the dude that played the husband was Short Round from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Some of the humour was pretty cringe to be honest. I'm also a massive Michelle Yeoh fan, so that's how I was coerced into watching it in the first place.

I'm not up to speed on the environmental impact of cotton farming, but it would be pretty cool if this technology could be applied to stuff like the oil palm, which only grows in tropical areas.

I've never tried it but I like the idea of it. I've been having a protein shake instead of breakfast for years, so this isn't much of a departure.

If I were to try it, it would be the lower carb versions like the black edition, and also without sweeteners.

The only lingering doubt I have is that it's arguably ultra-processed (and this applies to my protein shake as well). Even if the individual ingredients aren't bad, have our bodies evolved to ingest food like this without long term side effects? I guess time will tell.

Great, now it will be even easier to post endlessly about it.

My kid's school here in the UK banned them, but the kids all take them in anyways and the teachers don't care.

I had banned YouTube in the house, but then the school started assigning homework to watch YouTube videos.

The dependence of our infrastructure on private social media companies is shocking and needs to be stopped immediately.
