I'm going to go out on a limb and say none of those clearly printed suggestions were written on that extremely course wooden telephone pole

I don’t think I should go against the grain here.

Next thing you’re gonna tell me that one day blinding stew doesn’t exist either…

You eat it or we send you back up to deal with the Nords. You’re call.

I’m sorry. I had to let my editor go. Rough economy and all… Also they found all those pictures on his hard drive…

Somebody hasn’t been eating their blind stew.

Kolanaki@pawb.social · 124 pts · 263d (15 replies)

Maybe some kind of stew that inhibits sight for 24 hours?

TachyonTele@piefed.social · 59 pts · 263d (6 replies)

I'm thinking some sort of hot meal, that then blocks her vision

An edible that sets the sight stat to 0 might be an interesting idea

Whostosay@sh.itjust.works · 9 pts · 263d

This seems excessive and cruel.

Instead I think we should let her see, but in a way that she just absolutely cannot decipher what she's seeing. 1/14th of a fortnight should do as far as length goes.

ininewcrow@lemmy.ca · 12 pts · 263d (2 replies)

just take any stew .... and add a tablespoon of real Japanese wasabi

GlitchyDigiBun@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 263d

How much stew are you making? We want to blind them, not turn them inside out!

Whostosay@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 263d

Tell me you live in the Midwest or UK without telling me you live in the Midwest or UK.

faintwhenfree@lemmus.org · 17 pts · 262d (5 replies)

Or perhaps some kind of stew that that nullifies ocular senses for 1/7 of a week?

rustydrd@sh.itjust.works · 11 pts · 262d (4 replies)

Or maybe a stew that induces visual deprivation for a time period of 1 full rotation of the earth relative to the sun?

xilence@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 262d (3 replies)

What did they do to deserve a whole year?

calmblue75@lemmy.ml · 6 pts · 262d (2 replies)

Rotation, not revolution. Rotation takes 1 day.

rustydrd@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 262d

Also relative to (not around) the sun. The full rotation the earth does in a day is relative to the position of the sun. The absolute amount of rotation is different.

xilence@lemmy.world · -1 pts · 262d

You specified in reference to the sun. A day on earth is one rotation or revolution about its own axis. Has nothing to do with the sun. A rotation in reference to the sun is one year.

bennypr0fane@discuss.tchncs.de · 0 pts · 262d (1 reply)

Seriously though, whose stupid idea is this? Is this a thing that moms everywhere say to there hair-biting daughters? "You need to stop with that nasty habit sweety, our some day soon you'll find yourself unable to see after lunch, and I'm not gonna tell you for how long!" And in the schools, stories go around like "Sally Newman was blind for a whole day last week, and she says her mom served her a stew that made her blind to make her stop biting hair!"???

webadict@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 262d

Clearly, you don't have the maternal instincts either.

Posting about Windows on Lemmy only to get "switch to Linux" in the comments:

Impound4017@sh.itjust.works · 33 pts · 262d (3 replies)

I’m certain that you could fix this issue by switching to Linux.

ignotum@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 262d

Can confirm, i used to have that same exact issue but it went away when i switched to linux
I use arch btw

Lemminary@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 262d (1 reply)

Yup, I had a whole different set of issues to fix when I switched to Linux. 😅

Impound4017@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 262d

Yeah that was about my experience from switching as well 😭. It’s absolutely worth it, but god damn if there aren’t moments where I want to rip my hair out troubleshooting some issue that’s just plug and play on windows.

BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world · 18 pts · 262d (2 replies)

posting on lemmy that im switching from linux to windows

village604@adultswim.fan · 11 pts · 262d (1 reply)

I feel like that would cause the devs to implement a max downvote limit.

ulterno@programming.dev · 4 pts · 262d

Let's get that 64bit overflow.

dragonfucker@lemmy.nz · 16 pts · 262d

They wouldn't be suggesting it if you used Linux

Rooty@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 262d (4 replies)

That sounds like good advice, you should take it.

Lemminary@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 262d (3 replies)

Is it? I switched ten years ago, and I had to switch back in two years. And even this year, I couldn't even finish writing my plugin on Linux because support for the software I needed is still lacking.

Dozzi92@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 262d

But if you switch to Linux you can come here and proselytize to the userbase in just a out anything thread, regardless of topic. Doesn't that sound better than using your software?

Starski@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 260d (1 reply)

I keep hearing about this "software I need" but never any examples, I'm genuinely curious as I really don't know of many things that you can't at least use a VM for

Lemminary@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 260d

Figma for Linux is unable to properly load fonts and the issue has been open since last year. I don't have a system capable of ruining a VM without consuming a lot of power or taking a significant performance hit.

Also, anticheat is not supported for League and I'm currently enjoying the hell out of ARAM Mayhem.

I don't share details, because when I do, people go, "well why don't you just do X" and it's the clunkiest solution one can use or straight up become condescending as if I haven't tried what they're saying.

UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 262d

Here, enjoy this stew.

jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 262d

It's easier to ignore asshole comment sections than an asshole OS.

I've been probably saying that for longer than you have been alive

DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world · 48 pts · 263d (2 replies)

I don't see what one-day blinding stew has to do with hair biting. But, I'll look into it tomorrow

glitch1985@lemmy.world · 18 pts · 263d

Common punishment since it doesn't cause any permanent damage and makes the child realize how fortunate they are.

ScrooLewse@lemmy.myserv.one · 5 pts · 263d

I'm sure you'll see the light by then.

I'm a single father so I don't have the "maternal" instinct but I do have a voluminous mane of blonde hair as pictured.

Blinding Stew must be a 90s grunge band, surely?

Is this from a Tim Robinson skit? I swear I've heard of this stew before...

Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 262d

Not that I’ve seen but it’s definitely the vibe.

causepix@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 262d

Looks like a truewagner bit, in which case it's probably just nonsense

Dragonstaff@leminal.space · 5 pts · 262d (2 replies)

I didn't have the stew that makes you go blind for one day, so I substituted beef broth. My daughter didn't go blind. One star.

SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 262d (1 reply)

I substituted the stew for gasoline, but followed the recipe precisely.

bampop@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 261d

3/5 nice clear instructions but it tastes like gasoline

I once ate a nice chili which robbed me of my vision for an entire day.

Petter1@discuss.tchncs.de · 1 pts · 257d

Biting hair is not as bad as biting skin 🤔

My parent friends with kids that bite were biting back and it worked like a charm.
