Locally biased, but I'll die defending a burger from Runza as the best burger you can get in a drive through. I think it's the bun that really sets it apart; it's so soft.

My grandma got me into birding when I was a young child. My friends always text me pictures of birds like it's a quiz. Maybe this means they'll start to catch up.

The irony of this sign being photographed on a cellphone while driving takes this to the next level.

The older I get the more I've started to structure my ideal of being comfortable as meaning "my time is more valuable than my money." Whereas I used to change my own oil or absolutely refuse to pay a delivery fee on take out, now I recognize that it's more important to me to save that time than that money. Especially when it comes to things I could do, but a professional could do in a matter of hours to my days/weeks of work (I'm looking at you drywall finishing).

Also, why just drunk driving? Why not you pay child support for murder?

I always assumed the lighter color of a giraffe was the default or background color and the spots were abnormally dark. This is throwing me off because the spotless one is the same color as the spots would be.

I've been seeing the sentiment a lot lately about Reddit comment sections devolving into tropes. Maybe I'm crazy, but I don't recall seeing that so much as time went on. Especially the the "this" comment that so many people have referenced. I feel like that comment in particular was getting plenty of hate on Reddit itself. Subredditsasahashtag were definitely a thing, but I didn't find them particular disruptive. Especially being able to skip to the next parent comment.

A that being said, what I most hope for Lemmy comment sections is subjects matter experts who provide additional jumping off points for additional expiration of the original post's topic.

I agree with this. I find myself often let down when I read a post and reflexively go to the comments for more information only to find one or two comments. I've been trying to comment more as a result.

I think I meant buy. I've edited the comment. That said, after rereading the story last tonight, the reason they buy the rights to authors names is to eliminate competition and maximize profits.

Here it is if you're interested. It's a great read.

This reminds me of the short story "The Great Automatic Grammatizator" by Roald Dahl. In the story a machine is invented that can write great stories, but it's creators go around buying the naming rights of authors so people will actually not their books.

Aldi has Frosted Mini-wheats that keep don't get as soggy and hold on to the frosting longer.
