Ask Lemmy

I can recline my seat. And you can recline yours.

For as much as I see the TP thing online, I’d say I’m in the minority by not caring one bit about which way it faces. But I can see why people care.

Because something that I do care about that’s kinda the same, I will remake the bed if the top sheet is on the wrong way. Seems a lot of people think the nicer side with the good stitching faces up. But no, you want to make a nice sheet samich, with the nice sides facing each other so you are feeling the good side when you’re in the sheets.

My ex could never figure that out and would get mad at me when I said that was wrong. Or she just did that so I made the bed and she never had to.

Abolishing the word "automobile" since it mixes Greek and latin.

It's "an historical," not "a historical." I don't care if that's outdated, that's proper.

Stick to the side of the path your country drives on or at least move to that side if someones comming the otherway. I don't get how this isn't common knowledge but it also doesn't matter all that much.

E-sports should be hyphenated, or at the very least stylized as eSports.

CEREAL FIRST, THEN MILK!!! COLD MILK! I DON'T CARE HOW YOUR MOM USED TO FIX IT, THIS IS THE ONLY CORRECT WAY!!!

Fahrenheit is a better measurement for ancient human temperature.

When saying "Next" in reference to a time "Next" means the soonest occurrence of that. Don't skip one. If today is friday and I say "Next Saturday", that is tomorrow, not 8 days from now.

If you can't scan your groceries at self check out under 3 minutes go to a register when it's busy. You're people are holding the rest of us up. I can scan a full cart faster than some can scan their 10 items.

The paperclip character from Microsoft Office is called Clippit, not Clippy.

Loose and lose bother me. When I see these words used incorrectly, I become mildly irritated.

I figuratively would of had fewer of a reaction if less persons made that missed steak… literally.

People should respect the intent of top level domains. e.g. videos at youtu.be should be related to Belgium, and podcasts with a .fm domain should only be podcasts related to the Federated States of Micronesia. Users at lemm.ee should be from Estonia.

If you’ve ever had a cat sit in front of a toilet paper roll and spin it, you will appreciate having the open end toward the wall so it doesn't fully unravel

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it does it make a sound?

The answer is unequivocally "NO".

A sound is not a sound until it vibrates the listeners eardrums. Before that it's just a pressure wave. Ergo, if no eardrums are around, there is no sound...

No ticket, no support.

Even if it is for batteries for your wireless keyboard and mouse. Ticket please.
