Gee, I can do this too! I've tried explaining it to others before but only one person ever got it

I never knew the words to this melody in its entirety. I only knew it as da dadada da-da drunken sailor.

No, it's the other way around. 蚤 means flea and 市 means market. フリーマーケット sounds like flea market.

ikr

I interpreted the to eat in this post rather broadly as to consume.

hi fellow soy milk enjoyer. I named this puppy soy milk too

soy milk

(kinda fitting actually)

Thanks. Will try this. Actually just an hour ago I removed the period (.) by scratching at it with my fingernails. (I know, fingernails after all these answers hah.) However I don't think fingernails scale well. Sugar granules must work too.

Thanks! Will try this.

Eh, I get you now. Maybe it was not such a good idea to censor words on a place like Lemmy where everyone (except lemmy.ml admins) is so against censoring words.

Yeah I'll keep this in mind, thanks.

Edit: why tf does this comment have two downvotes? I understand why my other comments were controversial, but this one too? Really?

I am aware that I'm not advertising for them by asking a question about this here. I just thought it would be funny to censor Google and Pixel as if they were swear words. It's fine if you don't share my sense of humor though.

This exposes GrapheneOS to a few potential users, and I think this is worth the few hundred dollars that Google might get, lol

A rotary tool seems a bit... extreme to me. Maybe I'll try that out if the IPA treatment suggested by the other commenters fail. I don't have a laser etcher but I might have some luck if I go ask the machines-go-whrrr-bzzzhhht-keeee-place at my school. Thanks!

Thanks, I'll try out IPA on a less obvious spot to see if it damages the case and if it removes the text. If that doesn't work maybe I'll just live with covering it with my fingers. I agree, the "AI" is funny.

Yes, I actually try to consciously cover it with my hands and never let it sit screen side down.

Thanks, I will try using IPA.

I didn't want to fucking swear on the internet

ow, my bad

The proverb you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear means you can’t create a fine product from inferior materials.

I'd argue it's closer to 朽木不可雕. 巧婦難為無米之炊 (巧妇难为无米之炊) is more like you can't make stuff without the necessary requirements.

朽木不可雕: Lit. Rotten wood can't be carved, metaphorically You can’t teach a student that is too dumb.

... Well actually no. Upon looking into these 3 idioms further while composing this comment, I leaned more and more towards that 巧婦難為無米之炊 is actually closer. Why? Because 朽木不可雕 applies only to humans and it puts more of a focus on the rotten wood (aka the dumb student).

I guess this comment was kind of useless lol but I decided to post it anyway because I put in way too much effort

I should point out that I got a phone from the notorious Google for GrapheneOS.

Edit: uncensored the names
