When buying tools, how important is color for you?

Jump

  • My only rule for colour is that I should be able to spot it immediately if I drop it in a narrow, unlit crevice. I've got some bright red and safety orange tools.

    • People outside the US, do you still consider America a democracy?

    Jump

  • Not for quite some time now. Not since I learned about the electoral college.

    • What's your version of "I DON'T like it but I do like people who do like it"?

    Jump

  • Boardgaming. I play an occasional boardgame with my friends, but I'm not searching youtube clips for strategies, importing first-print Euro games in the original German and printing English-language stickers for the boards, or watching Essen livestreams every year.

    • Is our universe trapped inside a black hole? This James Webb Space Telescope discovery might blow your mind

    Jump

  • But it WON'T blow my mind because all these articles ever say is "eh, maybe".

    • Be kind to your elders

    Jump

  • It hasn't been that hard in my experience. Ignore shifts in the social landscape until the yung'ins reach a consensus about it, and always remember that time just before the dotcom crash when a company got venture funding to deliver tuna subs by mail.

    • Is there any negative consequence to wearing socks inside out?

    Jump

  • There will be a price. Don't do this unless you want the fashion police to rappel in through your smashed windows and beat you while you choke on tear gas.

    • What redditisms do you hope don't come to lemmy?

    Jump

  • Karma-farming. Please lets just be our genuine, authentic, awful selves.

    • Did you (like me) take up drinking Earl Grey because it was Picard's beverage?

    Jump

  • I tried it because it was the captain's favourite. Regrettably, bergamot oil is not for me.

    • The best part of marriage is always having someone to scratch between your shoulder blades for you.

    Jump

  • I'm not allowed another wife.

    • The best part of marriage is always having someone to scratch between your shoulder blades for you.

    Jump

  • I'm over 50.

    • Why is it that you can't buy a 2 Liter container of beer or coffee?

    Jump

  • If you're buying two litres of cider, it's not because you like cider.

    • Why is it that you can't buy a 2 Liter container of beer or coffee?

    Jump

  • You can buy 2L beer containers in New Zealand, but they're a specialty item. Largest I've ever seen at the supermarket or bottle shop is 1L.

    As for coffee, it's probably because our laws are weirdly restrictive on how much caffeine you can have in one drink. Energy drinks can't contain more than an equal amount of coffee, for example.

    • Is it arson to pour water on a Tesla if it catches on fire?

    Jump

  • It may be suicide.

    • If octopuses had to wear clothes, they'd probably just wear skirts or kilts instead of pants.

    Jump

  • They'd wear four pairs of jeans and older octopuses would criticise them for sagging their waists.

    • Did anyone else learn that "a group of cats is called a Whisper?"

    Jump

  • A flamboyance of flamingos? A business of ferrets? A sloth of bears?

    • The alarm clock industry was collateral damage in the smartphone wars.

    Jump

  • One tyrant rose up and overthrew another. Ordinary people like us were left to carry the cost.

    • Do you believe, "all is fair in love and war?"

    Jump

  • No. Pretty sure the origin of that quote is a Shakespeare villain.

    • TIL a 2023 study examined the cognitive ability scores of nearly 400,000 Americans between 2006-2018 and found that over that 13-year period, Americans' IQ scores had dropped in three out of the f...

  • Dangers of shooting video in portrait mode confirmed.

    • What should I go next time to piss this guy off

    Jump

  • The way you've described the situation, it sounds like you're the problem.

    • You meet your evil self from another timeline... What do you do?

    Jump

  • I tell him "Nice goatee, bro."
