  • I absolutely love this reference, and I use it all the time. Hell, I’m a walking simpsons encyclopedia.

    I’m 40 next year… So far, I’m lucky. I’ve gone from a extremely physically demanding job (hike through back country bush, dig to 120 cm when you get there) to sitting at a desk. Where I used to not even think about the gym, I now find myself in one 5 days a week, just for preventive measures. I’m never gonna be a freakbeast muscle man, but I’ll settle for not having a stroke at 60, like my dad did.

    The funny part - I use that term loosely - is that the ivory bill was very closely related to pileated wood pecker which is a noisy as fuck bird. There are people out in the swamps of the Singer Tract looking for them like bigfoot hunters. They insist that the bird is very reclusive now.

    That looks like an old Singer table with a new machine on top.

    My grandma used to have one at the farm, that was the original, and powered by the pedal you see at the bottom

    ‘fun fact’ - the ivory bill wood pecker’s habitat was entirely within the tract of land that Singer company used to make these tables. Didn’t work out for the ivory bills at all. They are entirely extinct

    /C/shitpost for me, lawl.

    The vegan thing is a dumpster fire. They had a mod go off the deep end and start banning everyone.

    I really don’t get how people let modding go to their heads. I. Mod a few small communities and big whoop. Even if I modded a bigger one, there is a broad line between acceptable content on Lemmy and unacceptable content. Just because you have a contrary or shit take does not mean you need to be banned. Just because people are getting butthurt doesn’t mean you need to ban offenders. Diversity of opinion is a good thing for a community, unless that opinion supports Nazism or some other shit which promotes hatred.
