Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Bread mattress: so my sleepy ass can partially eat it, as I'm in the lengthy process of waking up (possibly improving efficiency)
4·11 hours agoI feel like bread’s limited shelf life, and all the nasties that accumulate in a normal mattress from normal use, would make this idea fucking disgusting. Just leave a loaf of bread on your nightstand like a normal person.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•I think a lot of the laid-off staff from the Washington Post should start a news cooperative. Seriously!
5·2 days agoWhen the Denver Post got bought out by a private equity company (you know how that goes), a bunch of journalists from there got together to create the Colorado Sun. It operates on a model similar to NPR/PBS, except federal/Corporation for Public Broadcasting funding was never a thing to begin with.
I’m not sure how well it’s working, but well enough that they’re still around after several years!
The big difference being that one thing being owned is completely inanimate, and the other is a literal human being against their will 🤷♂️
Clearly you are much smarter than myself. Can you tell me why renting land/a home is different than any other object that can be owned? Obviously shelter is a greater need than a chainsaw I could rent at Home Depot, but I thought the basic concepts should still apply?
And again, maybe I’m not smart enough to understand what you’re saying, but it seems like land owners (or “speculators”, if that’s the correct term now 🤷♂️) prohibit access to everyone except for tenants, and tenants instead have rights to use that property?
As mentioned elsewhere, owning isn’t necessarily for everyone.
What service does the land speculator provide to the tenant?
The ability to live somewhere that otherwise would have been reversed?
I am lucky enough to be able to own a home. I can live here, and nobody else. But if I decided to rent my home out and they paid me rent, they could live here instead!

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you fall asleep listening to podcast, videos etc? Favorites to listen to?
2·9 days agoLately I’ve been watching Noel Phillips videos on YouTube. He’s an airline geek (as am I) and has been to some really unique places - some are interesting places on different continent, some just random remote airports in the middle of American nowhere.

Is it the greatest? Of course not. Does it take care of a lot of issue I had with my previous Ender 3 V2? Definitely.

12·18 days agoLet’s be honest: if he had won it (bear with me) it would have emboldened him to do whatever he wanted to do in the name of being a peaceful genius.
Whats ur favorite wine and cheese flavorz?
twitch
Anyway, I want to like red wine more than I do, but white wine is my preference. Not too sweet, not too dry. Pinot grigio is great.
As for cheese, I always check the fancy cheese markdowns to try new things. My favorites are gooey like brie, but brie itself isn’t very flavorful for my liking. I’ve had one that was a mix of cow and goat milk, while still being very soft, and it was fantastic. Another favorite is tallegio, which is like a really soft cheddar with a thin edible rind and notes of mushroom flavor.
Mozzarella is always a favorite, but is gotta be dressed up a bit. My favorites are marinated, burrata (fresh ball with a creamy cheese filling), or wrapped with prosciutto 😋
I think it’s related to the age of the hens, more common with the younger ones. Chances are there are others in the flock that are the same age, so that would make sense.
Oh, they fully suspect it

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Companies with TLDs named after them is the best example of how ridiculously big those companies are.
