Given the local weather, there’s typically barely anything of that sort around here.

The real problem is the 4th of July, in which there are chronic explosions going on almost a full month sandwiching that date. Just terrible as a light sleeper with oversensitive hearing.

Devil’s advocate-- the Industrial Revolution has led to heaps of the ‘prosperity’ we moderns have enjoyed, while effectively destroying our future via various forms of pollution, directly because too few heeded caution and considered the importance of sustainability.

It became all about money at almost every level, and unchecked capitalism is ultimately a tyrant, as we’re now discovering via late-stage capitalism. While the rich get richer and fascism rises around the world, of course.

What a miserable, defeatist, pessimistic attitude.

Alright, dude… best of luck to you.

You’re painting with such an ocean-size brush, that you might as well be talking about anything at all. It comes down to details, facts and reality, and I’m not hearing anything persuasive from you.

I’ve been on the FV 2.5yrs now, and only once ran in to a ban-happy mod, here. And I’ve rarely heard other people complain about it, either.

Welcome to Lemmy. Here you will inevitably be banned too,

Err… what makes you say that, exactly?

(theres an interesting reverse-masking thing going on there, which if anyones interested, lmk and ill explain)

I’ll bite!

Up und at them!

During filming of the original “The Pink Panther” (1963) movie, actor Robert Wagner was blinded.

While shooting a bubble-bath gag scene involving an industrial-strength foaming agent, the chemicals burned the skin of both Wagner and his co-star Capucine. Wagner was reportedly temporarily blinded for several weeks after being submerged in the foam, with corneal irritation so severe that he could not see clearly for a period of time.

Really, there’s a tragic litany of incidents like this going all the way back to the Nickelodeon era. Production folks sometimes screw up, leading to actors and stuntpeople getting hurt, or even killed, as with Brandon Lee in “The Crow,” or with The Twilight Zone movie, in which three actors were beheaded / fatally injured by a helicopter crash.

Just in case it’s relevant or useful, there are some databases and repositories of files that came out well ahead of the hot mess that the DOJ has been releasing. Terribly sorry about one of the links going to the Evil Empire, but I make a rare exception here:

• All of the Epstein Files that have either been leaked or released, as of ~July '25.
• https://couriernewsroom.com/news/we-created-a-searchable-database-with-all-20000-files-from-epsteins-estate/

Fair enough; thanks for replyin’!

What about in California rolls and fresh guac?

Cheese.

Heresy!

That said, I understand it’s not too popular across much of Asia, even beyond any lactose issues.

Just curious-- how might that have played out better for you?
Similarly, what could the FV (or Reddit) have given you, after you declared yourself like that?

Is it possibly in the realm of a failing of ours…?

Oh, that’s right. Another frequent feature of the Nightshade family IIRC.

Whoops, only the very top bit of that photo is showing (for me). Maybe upload it to Imgur or such?

EDIT: No, I see it now! Yeah, that’s awesome. They’re also famous sprouters, so it looks like that one exhausted it’s tuber energy trying to reach light…

Most fruits and veggies IME tend to dry out more than rot, unless perhaps you live in a very humid area. My experience with forgotten avocados is that they’ll shrink and get wrinkled, while becoming inedible inside, but won’t be problematic.

Tomatoes can definitely get gross and leaky if forgotten. Potatoes when rotting can actually produce poisonous gas, so watch out for that. Kind of a Solanaceae (Nightshade) theme there, I guess.

Did you try them on song-identifying services, like SoundHound and Shazam? I’ve had a lot of success with them.

Cool!
In which case, how should we organise such things across the FV…?

Haven’t used it for a while, but Reveddit used to be able to give good info on what stuff of yours might have been shadow-removed, and why.
