Good thing that viking helmets never had horns (that was the invention of Catholics literally demonizing) and i wasn't wearing one at the time anyway 😄
I just turned 100 last month, it's fuckin awesome, I can fly now, only like for a mile, but everything I need is within a mile radius, so I'm saving Soo much on fuel and parking.
Everything you need is within a mile? Please accept me as your roommate. It takes me 20 minutes just to drive to the store, then 20 minutes to get home. I want a city.
Sorry I got stuck on the wrong part of that fantasy ;) I would also like to go flying.
Can you imagine sending that one perpetual intern who's so tired of your shit to Home Depot to buy the cheapest sink for your lame joke as the world's richest man starved for attention?
didn't even have context that made it make sense. he just used it in context of moving in... but the double entendre means nothing without the second, uh, entendre. anyway he's so fucking lame, stupid and unfunny is what I'm saying
The worst part is knowing you can't afford to and yet being forced to watch your elderly parents/friends who might be able afford to but can't because of their health and/or the need to save their money for assisted living (which gets more and more expensive each year).
I'm not suicidal, but as I watch my parents age I think I will be. I have known several recently deceased who were miserable for the last couple of years of their lives. People who if they had been pets, we would have euthanized. It's sobering and depressing.
I genuinely like to try to make myself think statements like this are true. If I do it for like a few years and start actually buying it myself, then I'll be pleasantly surprises when I actually turn 40.
But then again, this is Lemmy, the place where they vehemently oppose generational wealth and yet clutch their pearls when their so called parents spend all that hard earned wealth on themselves

Holy shit, I've accidentally stumbled upon a cure for aging. I was born in 1984, yet I'm somehow only 40 years old.

You younglings won't understand, but after about age 35, your brain filters out calendar math and you won't notice the meme is wrong.
ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net · 9 pts · 1y
There was a article where the journalist asked a dozen people how old they felt, versus their actual age.
And every single person said they felt in their heads, 10-20 years younger. Like, a 54yo said they felt more like they were 35yo.
I'm hitting forty and I feel like I just understood what life is about, something I should have felt in my mid20s.

Is this called a sink in the US? I thought the kitchen sink and the bathroom basin are the correct names, but might be UK specific...
mrunicornman@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y
It's the same for us (India): "Sink" for the kitchen one and "washbasin" for the non-kitchen ones.
JackbyDev@programming.dev · 1 pts · 1y
In the US we call bathroom sinks sinks as well. I've heard basin before, I wouldn't be confused by it, but it's not really the standard.
Prior to reading this I may have assumed "basin" referred to sinks that are standalone on pedestals as opposed to ones built into counter tops.
