If you use youtube on a mobile app rather than a browser, it doesn't have an address bar

Can anyone say the s and the th in Isthmus? It's making my tongue feel funny.

You joke, but one time I got woken up by what sounded like a Chinese lady complaining about batteries, and it turned out to be the low power alert on the cheapo import soundbar.

directus→derecho from "straight" to "right"

So that's why "straight on" and "on the right" are the maddeningly confusable "a derecha" and "en derecho". Such a pain when following directions.

I'm using an LG K9 right now. Works ok, but I'd prefer a smaller screen

Universe collapses into a black hole made of uncles

I think they're regional. I don't remember seeing one either, but I don't know if that's because I haven't encountered it, or because I didn't notice.

It's a mobile client for Lemmy

I would say "it's on backorder". You could verb it as "it's been backordered", but that feels a bit clunky somehow.

If you put a ! In front of the link, like this;

It should show inline

Placebo buttons.

Some appliances like elevators or traffic crossings cycle automatically, but they still have (non-functional) buttons. If the buttons are removed, people complain that the wait is too long. Let them push a button while they wait, and they'll think it's much quicker.

no, these are people who eat potato salad

I meant accessibility in the sense of, how difficult/messy/undignified is it to eat. But yes that too. I thought coconuts were brittle, and grapefruit were inedibly sour until I tried some in their country of origin.

Mangos are S tier on taste, but D at best on accessibility. Fruits that I rate highly for both taste and convenience are clementines, seedless green grapes, and those flying-saucer shaped peaches.

Aha! But you won't be affected until time restarts. And since time has stopped for presumably the whole universe, nothing can happen to restart it.

You have the power to stop time.
🐵🐾 It stops for you, too.

I just sent you a message, then deleted it. Check if you can see it in your mailbox.

The context for those 2 sentences was changing colour to match your environment.

I've never heard of Chester cheese. There's Cheshire cheese, but that's quite crumbly and wouldn't hold up to being packaged like this. You might also be thinking of cheddar. A genuine cheddar would be too brittle, but in modern marketing, cheddar is often shorthand for any homogenous, yellow cheese. So this stuff might be described as cheddar on the packet.

I think this stuff is more of a cheese-flavoured sauce, that they inject into the bags and leave to set. It's more an invention of the convenience food industry, than any culinary tradition.

I've just realised why that stuff always tastes like plastic
