IF they also had a hobby of reloading bullets, that fine black powder might be easy to clean up with just one match… of course, it will just make a bigger mess to clean up.

10·1 year agoHad the same thing happened to me. Bought a house that the previous owners were chain smokers. Spent all day getting the kitchen painted a nice brick red. Left to go get supper. Came back to the same beige walls from before painting. All of the paint had slipped down and off the walls. Great mess to clean up and start all over.

291·1 year agoThose curtains aren’t beige naturally. They started out snow white, but 17 years of 2 people smoking 3 packs a day with all the doors and windows tightly shut will do that.
A 50 50 will cost you about tree fiddy in these parts. So they say…

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Your username has suddenly become your only means of staying alive. How bad is it?
2·2 years agoMy fitness is questionable, but my knowledge is vast. I’ll team up and be ok.
It’s high time we take control of all these wild oaks out there. Every single one has thousands of acorns any any one of those might have YOUR name on it.
We need action NOW!
We need immediate Oak controls laws. And I damn sure don’t want to hear any of that stale old BS “my oak hasn’t ever harmed anyone”…
Oaks have no place in polite society. End of discussion. Get educated!
BTW that’s all satire. I love oaks. Actually my first knothole was an oak. I love oaks.
The Star Trek utopia WOULD be fantastic… everyone does what they are good at / enjoy, and their basic human needs are met. The people with some issue that can be corrected thru technology, such as a visor to correct blindness, can perform equally well if not better and can contribute to society. The downfall will be the people who just absolutely cannot contribute in any way still have their basic needs met. I’m not saying that they shouldn’t… but the general idea that “they don’t contribute so why should I have to contribute” WILL be there for some to use as an excuse to try to game the system to get something for nothing. Then someone that is contributing, doing what they are good at / enjoy, looks up one day and realizes that where they used to only “have to work 10 hours a week” they now have to work 20 hours a week to continue to support the incapable, which is good, but also to support the lazy “if he doesn’t then why should I” group, which is not good… then even more people jump on the if it’s free it’s for me train. Then before you know it you have one person working 60 plus hours a week, instead of 10, to have their basic needs met while supporting 4 others that refuse to contribute AND the one that really is incapable of contributions. And when that one person expects greater compensation for their workload or just naturally acquires greater compensation thru hard work they are demonized for their greed and wealth accumulated from their hard work. Meanwhile more people line up with their soft hands out for more free stuff. IF everyone pulled equally to the best of their ability that would be great… but they won’t. There will always be people who work harder to get more. There will always be people who work less and expect the same as the one working hard. There will always be people who won’t work at all and still expect someone else to supply them with their basic needs plus a McMansion, new car, cell phone, and and and… Meanwhile there are people, who thru no fault of their own cannot contribute, struggling to have their needs met because there are so many freeloaders in the system that available resources are stretched too thin. . .
Maybe if everyone would do their part and work to the best of their ability doing what they are good at / enjoy to have their basic needs met…
Try being a Cannabis plant in a grow box… forced into a grueling schedule of feeding and photosynthesis under lights so bright they could actually be on the surface of the sun. Forced to vegetate and create more leaf surface to photosynthesize even more while bathing in a constant flow of CO2. Only to have your reproductive organs chopped off and burnt. It’s not all fun and games if you’re Mary Jane…

RPGMemes @ttrpg.network•Vampires learned it from the Fey.
2·2 years agoWe’re going to try the myth that if a vampire is fired out of a cannon, using his coffin as a sabot, into a picket fence… will the resultant impaling be enough to render the undead dead dead.

AI Generated Images@sh.itjust.works•It Is Sunday My DudesEnglish
1·2 years agoOK, at first I saw a Shar Pei with a frog in it mouth…
I really didn’t want to but I’ve had run ins with that HP 5200 in the past and Betty is still covered in toner stains from when he/it dusted her. She was gently cleaning his roller when he suddenly exploded all over her face and hair. Milky white skin, blonde hair, both hands… totally covered in hot black toner… literally forced her to face clients the rest of the day covered in his letter batter. Sorry, not sorry.
I went to the supply closet today and saw with my own two eyes 3 HP printers had our only Brother printer cornered. I backed away slowly and told no one.
OK, I’m not white knighting here… but I don’t want to see you become the butt of the joke. All of this double and triple entendre is getting out of control. For all of this back loading to properly work you need a proper tower case. Personally I’m into cases by the Eiffel company. Eiffel towers are the best! You can front load AND back load simultaneously (some hand holding for structural support may be necessary). I utilize a method that has been widely recognized as the best. You have the comedic effect of a Spit Take along side the slow burn of a good Roast over how sloppy you com ports are. The colloquial term is SpitRoasting… it’s quite the undertaking but if we all work hard we can make this all come together.
Without spitting on it, while in your direct line of sight, while making eye contact with you, hopefully.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are your best Sleep tips and hacks?
4·2 years agoFor many years I was getting maybe 2 hours sleep a night. The slightest sound would wake me up and then I’d lay there trying to get back to sleep. Which spiraled into me getting up to pee 3 or 4 times a night. I read about Valerian root being great for helping fall asleep so I tried it with little hope. 2 capsules half an hour before bed. I nodded off easily and woke up a few hours later. 3 straight hours of sleep was unheard-of for me.
Then I added a couple 25mg Benadryl to help me stay asleep or go right back to sleep if something woke me up… like my bladder that was now completely trained to need emptying every one and a half to two hours.
Just prior to Covid I got a cpap. It took me a week before I slept thru the night. Happened again the next week… then a couple nights a week. A few years using my cpap and now most nights I sleep right thru or if I do wake up I can nod right back off. I still use the Valerian root and Benadryl every night but neither of those build up a tolerance.
Word of warning: Actually 2… you will not get “high” on Valerian root and the dreams you have will be in ultra high Def technicolor Sid and Marty Kroft bizarre fun dreams. Actually 3… the Valerian root smells bad. As in 6 week old gym socks marinated in the trunk of your Chevelle during the summer mixed with dog shit. But they help and you only smell it for a second before swallowing.
I also added a sleep eye mask with Bluetooth headphones built in and I listen to positive affirmations blended with mild rain sounds.
So… pills, cpap, headphones mask.

Trees@lemmy.world•[@trees](https://lemmy.world/c/trees) I asked AI to explain cannabis strains to me like I was five. And then this happened…
2·2 years agoHello, HeyThisisnttheYMCA Cannabis works something like this…
Notice your arms? Yeah, they’re pretty cool. Especially how they turn into wrists then hands then BAM!!! Fingers everywhere. Don’t forget to breathe ok. Fingers are pretty snazzy appendages! You can grab stuff. Don’t forget to breathe ok. You can touch stuff. Touching stuff is super cool because you FEEL it when you touch something. Or someone… Like that night in Sidney. Boston was a great town. Wow! ! Sidney was HER name not the place OMG! Don’t forget to breathe ok. So you touched her insides. Yeah inside. Warm, cozy, and perfect. Inside… versus outside? Yeah outDon’t forget to breathe okside outside outside outside fresh air and everything is outside. Air Air is cool. But warm air is cool too. So warm equals cool. Explain in full your thought process in proving the therom warm equals cool. You have sixty minutes. Damn it you totally forgot to breathe! Don’t forget to breathe ok. STARTING, NOW! These writers cramps are killing me but this is my final final exam. I mean my fingers are knotted up, hands and wrists ache up to my arms… you ever notice your arms?

43·2 years agoYeah, I’d like the McBitch’n combo with a large Cunty fries and Sour Grapes to drink… better known as the Karen.
Honestly I can’t imagine that some ambulance chasing “lawyer” has gone after a “sad following my Happy Meal” lawsuit. That sounds like a free payday in today’s world.
So do 83.7476 children.
Side note fake fact: most kids in Africa don’t have names because they won’t live long enough to need one.







Once the pen is too easy then you move up to Sharpies… it gets exciting from there.
