Smash.

Enjoy!

It’s because it’s semi-soft toffee in a brick, so it’s hard to chew through but if you smash it you can eat the pieces.

How else do you get the sweet sweet olives from within?

What will they take from us next.

you certainly won’t regret being bitten by 50 asps

Fixed.

That’s not the reason, it’s because the constant removal & reinsertion of the cartridge across attempts to get it working causes the pins on the inside of the console to scrape against the contacts on the cartridge enough to remove some corrosion and form a proper connection. Saliva and the blowing had little or nothing to do with it.

The proper method is to use contact cleaner, rubbing alcohol or an eraser to remove the corrosion from the contacts on the cartridge. This is basically the same thing but instead of scraping off the corrosion with the console cartridge slot pins, you’re removing it evenly and cleanly.

Yeah but the difference is there is no dictionary definition that supports that definition of feminism. It’s just an interpretation. You could say the same thing about veganism as being a philosophy that animals are superior to people. That’s a more direct metaphor and you would be just as wrong, and no dictionary would agree with you.

Any “ism” will have multiple ways to define it, and those who coin a term don’t get to define its evolution. If you want to take the “GNU/Linux” approach and insist everyone else is using the word wrong then go for it. But in modern parlance, “vegan” is frequently if not almost always used to refer to the diet, whereas “veganism” does evoke the stricter definition you’re touting.

The dictionary disagrees with you: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/vegan

Being vegan is a lot of things to a lot of people. It’s not only about animal suffering. This is true for some people but plenty of people are vegan for health reasons.

The next question is a visual skills challenge. To the best of your ability, embody a gazelle.

Believe what you want, this is obvious trolling. I’m hardly shocked that someone would end up with a blue check mark after on-boarding millions of users in a day.

It doesn’t even remotely pass the sniff test. Come on guys, use some common sense here.

Same boat. I think I’ll prefer Mlem in the long run but the Memmy dev is just cranking out updates like nobody’s business so it’s a lot more functional right now.

Another tip, browse All in your instance for a while, especially as new communities are popping up like crazy right now. Sub to them when you see them.

Once Apollo is gone for good, I’ll delete the app and that’ll be it. Reddit has too much useful info for me to block it entirely similar to Twitter. But also like Twitter, once the app is gone from my phone my usage pretty much drops to zero. I’ve already replaced Apollo with Mlem on my homepage, but I’m leaving Apollo installed until the end.

They have what you’re talking about, they’re called web forums. They have bad UX, high barrier to entry, and only contain nerds and enthusiasts that live and breathe that one thing.

That’s the opposite of what something like this is trying to be, which is building communities that can interact with each other. Scaring away users is antithetical to that goal.

This really comes off as elitist nonsense honestly. It’s like saying that anyone who can’t fix a car doesn’t deserve to drive one. People shouldn’t need to understand the inner workings of everything to be able to participate in it.

I think there is, and that is just do stuff! Upvote, comment, engage, submit posts. Obviously helping confused individuals directly if you see them also helps, but simply using the service and engaging with it will ensure that more people join, and stick around when they see something worth returning for.

Most of the tech users that ditched Twitter for Mastadon when 3rd party apps were killed actually stayed, and still engage with that service. The other communities I followed on Twitter didn’t, and that’s because they joined a ghost town when it came to their interests. Lemmy is far behind where Mastadon was then in terms of overall capability and client options, so this is a big hurdle to overcome. Everyone has a part to play :)
