Yep. There is or was a giant one near my parents. Whenever it was blooming my dad would go over and take pictures. He was always so excited because it bloomed so infrequently.

Is this a night blooming cereus?

Florida and Texas would like a word. Also, Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi.

That’s a great cat! I’m sure the cost of vacuum bags is worth it!

My high school algebra teacher was so bad that she’d start teaching you one thing, get to the end of a problem, and realize she taught it wrong and start over a different way. I got a D in that class. Got an A in algebra 2 with zero increase in effort on my part.

Eventually, but quickly enough.

Robots are great for situations that don’t require adaptations. Anything that requires novel choices will require humans for the foreseeable future.

The man in that first hole reminds me of Bill from King of the Hill.

Kakapos are really neat birds. Incels wish they were as cool.

My dog used to do this, except she would intentionally put it somewhere she couldn’t get it. We didn’t get it for her when we knew she could get it. So, it was shaped to somewhere she couldn’t, which worked 100% of the time.

Put them in a box and put the box in the drawer.

I can’t recycle just any metal thing in my bin.

I have a couple of them saved, but I have sets of actual tools that include Allen wrenches. So, I don’t keep most of them. I do keep the instructions with the item, though.

Really? There’s one leading the DHS right now.

That top picture should be at the bottom.

What happened to the last batch? Did you forget to take them out of the oven on time?

You’re not a burden. It’s the people we have to fight against who opposed you having a nice life, regardless of your abilities or disabilities who are the burden. They fight against supporting people with disabilities, old people, kids, immigrants, women, LGBTQ+, other religions, no religion, etc., etc., etc.

We have to fight for the right thing so much and on so many fronts. They are terrible people. If they didn’t fight against us so much, you wouldn’t have to doubt your worth. It’s a them problem, not a you problem, but they like to make it your problem.

Billionaires don’t want to pay their fair share. If no one was allowed to have more than $999,999,999.99 (which no one even needs), we could have UBI, free medical, free tuition, reasonable housing costs, food for everyone, on and on. They make it our problem, but it’s not a problem with us.

No… I said the gross part, for me, when it comes to furries is the related art because so much of what I’ve seen is the porn. Are you just looking for a reason to be mad at me? If you’ve read my comments in this post, I specifically have stated the art is the gross part, specifically here on Lemmy where the vast majority of it has been the porn. I have also said I have no problem with furries in general. I don’t even have a problem with their art, really–I just think the porn is gross, and I block it so that we can all keep on keepin’ on. I’m not trying to stop furries from existing or creating art (including the porn). Like anything I don’t want to see, I just don’t want to be forced to see it. My Lemmy app sufficiently allows me to filter out the stuff I don’t want to see. Problem solved.

That’s correct. I’m fine filtering them out manually, I was just very surprised at how much content I was seeing.

From my understanding of federated instances, wouldn’t that mean your instance disconnected from whatever instance where those communities were hosted? Additionally, my instance either hosts those communities or is still connected with them, yes? I’m trying to explain Lemmy to friends. So, I’m making sure my understanding is accurate.
