How exactly did Reddit become a top website and what does Lemmy need to do to eventually get there?

Jump

  • Something like lemmy.world or lemm.ee will just become the "default" instance for new users.

    • Sweet tea

    Jump

  • I'm not talking about that far North.

    • Supermarket plastic bag charge has led to 98% drop in use in England, data shows

    Jump

  • A reusable plastic bag only needs to be reused ~40 times before it is better than single use plastic bags. Are people really using them so few times that they can't hit that?

    • It's a matter of perspective

  • Thank you for not linking it, I don't have the next 8 hours free.

    • Sweet tea

    Jump

  • Also are we going to talk about the fact that I've never heard anyone outside of the south pronounce pecan as "pee-can?"

    • Sweet tea

    Jump

  • They're not super saturating it. They're putting an amount of sugar in the tea that can dissolve at room temperature, it just takes a long time to do so.

    • Sweet tea

    Jump

  • I lost 70 pounds over about four months last year primarily via calorie counting. I know it's anecdotal, but I absolutely felt hungrier after the same meal if I had a diet soda with it compared to an unsweetened iced tea, or even an iced tea with a sugar packet or two. It's great that you have the willpower to stick to the rest of your diet regardless, but there is definitely a reason people recommend cutting it out to make it easier to follow a plan.

    • Sweet tea

    Jump

  • Sweet tea can have as much sugar as soda. You would need to add 10-15 sugar packets to a single glass of iced tea to have the equivalent amount of sugar.

    • What would you considered "Ethical Piracy"

    Jump

  • I don't know about "ethical" but justified yeah.

    Certainly if media is not available for purchase I have no problem with people pirating it. But also if it's not available in a reasonably accessible format. For example, I wanted to show my son the original TMNT show. I would have happily bought it on Vudu, Amazon or Play Movies, but it's only available on iTunes. I have all Android devices and don't even have a personal Windows device, so I would need to jump through serious hoops to get it working if I bought it.

    • Does this instance have a stance on right wing disinformation communities?

    Jump

  • I'm new here so I don't have much of a vote, but I have mixed feelings here. I like the idea of not blocking content, but at the same time I think a Vaccines community that is dedicated to spreading misinformation is not something healthy to have.
