Most “pranks” are just a) terribly unfunny, b) actually bullying by another name, or c) both.
If we could just keep the rare good ones I’d be all for it, but alas!

I’m sure anyone reading this in the UK is already aware of MSE but just in case: https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/savings/savings-accounts-best-interest/#easyaccess
A quick glance suggests most of those really high ones are time-limited bonus offers, but other places are doing quite high interest in general e.g. Marcus is paying 4.75%.
Not these ones you can’t, soz
No but it has a hashtag and a very sarcastic community who all watch the reruns together on a Friday.
This time last year, the night before our wedding, we stayed at a cheap hotel 15 minutes away from home, ate pizza in the room and watched Top of the Pops with Mastodon. So tonight to celebrate the fact that we somehow survived the year we’ll be staying in a cheap hotel 15 minutes away from home, eating pizza in the room and watching Top of the Pops with Mastodon.
Also despite me being middle aged now, my mam and grandma sent us a ton of chocolate. So that’s the rest of the weekend accounted for.
Happy Easter everyone!

It probably depends on which language you’re learning and whether there’s a good deck available but I’ve moved onto flashcards with Anki.
The main problem with Duo (before all of its current problems) used to be that it didn’t really give much context unless you were on the full website and clicked through to read the grammar rules, but the card deck I’m using for basic Spanish has all of that built in and visible from the start so it’s been a good foundation on the language.
I’ve also heard excellent things about something called the “pimsleur” method but that seems expensive to access through official means. I’m sure there are other ways to try it out, of course…
Kept it going for a while, making sure to take a day off once a month to avoid building another stressful streak. But I kinda got to the end of its usefulness and wandered off to other things.
Just started learning Spanish and I thought about firing it up again but the app is such a mess these days I actually can’t face it.
Edit: Remember getting rid of the streak doesn’t actually lose your “progress” in learning the language, which is presumably the important part. It’s just a meaningless number. You can do it!
Ngl that damn streak took over my life at one point, I was over 1000 days and climbing. Decided one day to just…let it go on purpose. To no longer be caged by the tyranny of the owl.
Highly recommend it, the sense of freedom is unreal.
Me too :(
I moved to Raccoon which I’m hopeful will eventually have all my fave features from other apps but we’ll see.
Starting my day off with this absolutely cursed image, thank you OP.
I’ve thought about it an uncomfortable amount and decided you might be right.
You’re welcome.

Unfortunately that link doesn’t help much. Currently among the list of “recommended instances” (followed by a claim that it “doesn’t matter” which of these you choose) are a French-speaking instance, a crypto instance, and an anime instance. Hardly welcoming places for your average person, unless you happen to be a French crypto bro looking for porn in which case you are definitely well catered for.
OP might not have all the details worked out but their point is a good one, and it’s an issue on Mastodon as well. It’s all well and good having a one-liner description about each instance but it can be quite a trawl to find the actual important info you need to make a decision.
But he looks nothing like Dav…o wait.
A couple of the apps do have this “multi community” feature, if you’re a mobile user. Summit definitely does, Raccoon (the one I’m replying from now) technically does but it’s pretty broken so I’m hoping that gets looked at soon. And tbh maybe more of them do now, it’s been a while since I checked!
The birds here are really confused lately and have just been singing all night without a break, it’s driving me crazy.
Yeah this is a normal phrase in British English too. Today you learned!
