Ahh nice, so simple

I must ask... what is cinnamon butter?

After speaking with non-technical friends, I began to think how the key to marketing, onboarding, and growth will be to reduce the friction of the fediverse. The technical aspects of the fediverse (such as instances) and even the word "fediverse" itself should be behind a curtain.

Unfortunately, Lemmy's current default frontend does not do a good job at welcoming non-technical users (i.e. needing to find and select instances, fediverse jargon, etc.). Not to mention the lack of common accessibility features

Ultimately, I think the 3rd party devs building accessible and frictionless frontends will be key in this respect.

With that being said, I think a better marketing strategy is to say "join this app" (which connects them to the Lemmy/Mastodon network) because I imagine the bounce rate of the default Lemmy onboarding is not great.

Good point. The D for T seems to be a North American thing

WE AWE THE BRI ISH!

But in all seriousness, I've heard bri ish and briddish. I guess it comes down to dialect

Viva la France Canada

If the placebo works, then is it a trick?

That’s pretty incredible. And I agree, you should be proud that you took a chance and tried

Great watch! Never knew I wanted to know so much about dishwashers

I think the issue is that people feel empowered to use plastic because they think it ultimately will be recycled.

NPR has done various reporting on this, but essentially the players in the plastic industry have long known that plastic recycling did not work but they actively promoted it (knowing that it would increase plastic usage)

Both

Same. I reduce usage when I can. If not, then I try to at least reuse it (such as a plastic bag). Last resort is to recycle.

Unfortunately, plastic recycling seems to largely be a scam (in that it doesn't actually get recycled)

That's a really good point. It's unfortunate that polyester tends to be the go-to cheap option for clothes

Hank Green makes me feel slightly better about the laundry/dish pods. I love that guy and he's wicked smart

It seems that some are made of PVA. It is disputed how damaging PVA is in the water system. New York is considering a ban on it

I have more grocery bags than I'd like to admit. They are very handy though. I use them to hold compost, bags for smaller bins, and they're generally helpful to keep on hand whenever I go out

Small victories make great mountains

Holy smokes! You're literally saving the earth and humanity

Wow. Perhaps he understood everything you’ve been saying to him this whole time.. he just selectively responds

That’s a whole lotta views! Congratuwelldone
