spittingimage@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you justify buying something you want but don’t need?7·5 days agoAt one point I had a change jar. At the end of my day all my pocket change went in the jar and I forgot about it. This had multiple benefits: any purchase I made during the day took at least five bucks out of my pocket (no $1 or $2 notes in my country), so I had to think about it carefully. I always had money in the house, but in a form that made it inconvenient to spend. And after a couple years of ignoring the jar, I had about $200 that was outside my normal budget. I could spend it how I wanted! If I felt like buying a couple hundred bucks worth of jellybeans, I could do it without guilt.
Now I’m no longer single. My wife steals my change to buy leftover fabric swatches at car boot sales. That makes it harder but man, I deserve a Lego pirate ship.

spittingimage@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Is the peoples deep interest in chemical experiment viral videos (e.g. liquid nitrogen in a pool) related to being shooed away from understanding real science?12·6 days agoI’ve never been shooed away from understanding real science. Who’s doing the shooing?

spittingimage@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Obligatory monthly "what's your hot take?" question7·6 days agoI don’t think pineapple belongs on hamburgers either. It tastes okay, but there’s so much extra liquid that it’s like holding a bun full of soup.
spittingimage@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•how many people came to this platform due to leaving / being banned from Reddit?1·7 days agoYeah, okay, true, but – it’s like all the malice and narcissism of the whole group are concentrated in a very small number of individuals. Like Canada with their geese.
spittingimage@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•how many people came to this platform due to leaving / being banned from Reddit?11·8 days agoLemmy is full of dorks, and I love that. Among its other flaws, Reddit could be mean-spirited at times. I haven’t seen the same willingness to ignore ordinary human decency in favour of karma-farming here.

spittingimage@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is the internet currently changing teenagers’ behaviours for the worse?2·8 days agoI don’t think they’re worse overall, but I do think they’re more visible when they’re being silly and thoughtless.
A teenager near me got convicted of burglary a few years back because he filmed himself doing it, to show his friends. A young 20-something had his license taken away because he filmed himself driving at 160 KPH.
spittingimage@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Non-American People: What person from your country do you feel the world should know more about and why?15·8 days agoRichard Pearse, New Zealand aviation pioneer. He was a farmer by trade, and had a reputation for making crooked furrows because he would read technical books while he plowed. He worked on powered flight at the same time as the Wright Brothers and actually achieved his first powered take-off before they did. It wouldn’t be fair to call it a success - his plane was built with no tail section, making it difficult to control in the air. The test flight ended by crashing into a thornbush hedge and Pearse received minor injuries.

Can the risk be underwritten?2·8 days agoEvery argument I’ve seen against the cool science fiction future boils down to “we couldn’t do it this financial quarter, so it’ll never be possible at all”.
