  • For hardwood, you want the felt sliders, not the plastic ones. They come in all kinds of sizes and thicknesses. I have them on everything and they work great. Just keep in mind the heavier the furniture the thicker and more coverage you’ll want underneath.

    Editing to say, I see you’ve used your own makeshift felt solution, but the ones made specifically for furniture may work better as they have some layers of harder material that make them more sturdy.




  • I saw a comic reposted on Lemmy about 2 worms and the presumably female worm asks her partner “Would you still love me if I was a big booty Latina?”.

    Apparently that comic itself is a commentary on another recent trend of women on Tiktok asking their partners if they would still love them if they were a worm.

    So, a few layers there. Not entirely sure if related, or just confirmation bias, but seeing the phrase “Big Booty Latinas” here on Lemmy twice in as many days seems more than coincidental. 🤔









  • When I was in school we read Animal Farm, but instead of 1984 they had us read Brave New World. It seemed like a more accurate commentary at the time. Just everyone blissfully unaware and high on “soma” and trivial entertainment. Bread and circuses as it were. Crazy to see what a sudden turn to 1984 we’ve taken in just a few months.

    Those lines are generally painted with some sort of template, the short ends should at least line up in perspective, but some of them look like they would be parallelograms or trapezoids viewed from above rather than rectangular stripes.

    Additionally, the two big white squares by his legs don’t seem to make sense. Like an AI algo has seen big white shapes by legs near intersections, and added them there. But those should correspond to another crosswalk closer to camera and they are just floating there.

    Then, the thin white stripe by his leg is implying a crosswalk that is lined like a pathway, i.e. two stripes in line with the sidewalk that you walk between. However the full crosswalk we see is lined like “steps” that you walk across like the Beatles album cover. In general you would expect a city to have these consistent at the same intersection.

    Not making a judgement here, but those do strike me as odd and in line with mindless AI image creation
