I prefer to use the checkout with a person rather than the computerized one, because now the computer wants to ask me fifteen questions before I’m allowed to pay.

Do you have a bag? Would you like a bag? Do you have a rewards card? Would you like to make a donation to our tax deduction foundation? Are you sure you don’t want to pad our bottom line? How would you like to pay? Did you forget to scan your rewards card? Would you like a receipt?

If only there were some kind of way to ensure that the spread of a disease could be stopped…

It’s the myth of consensual sex federation meme, but it’s hexbear, lemmy.zip saying “I consent” and this goober saying “I don’t”

People say that the Space Race was about “beating the commies”, but conspicuously, rockets are also useful for military ventures. If it were only about proving how great capitalism is, we would have a Rail Race.

Someone remembered the Reddit posts about using dryer lint as a firestarter and had a 💡 moment.
