Why YSK?...

Why YSK: Some banks have no minimum age for authorized users, and report credit usage for them. If you have a credit card you don’t use much, you can add your kids as authorized users, set up a reoccurring payment from the card and an automatic payment to the card, and then forget about it. Your kid could become an adult with...

Why YSK: If you’re injured or ill but it’s not life or limb threatening and you decide to call an ambulance thinking it’ll be faster and you’ll be seen first… WRONG. Ambulance crews very frequently will advise the hospital staff that you “can wait”. Then we’ll plop you into a wheel chair and push you into the...

Why YSK: You don’t need to load down the instance by uploading the image to the instance. You only need to know the syntax is on the following line:...

Why YSK: If you ever need any of these things (eg you fell into hardship), just look for the nearest Sikh temple. While you’re there, please respect their culture and cover your hair while you’re in the prayer hall or in “langar” hall. A langar hall is where the food is served. If you like you can also volunteer to help...

Why YSK: Service Dog etiquette is to leave them alone as to not distract the dog’s focus. If they’re approaching you, they could be using a last ditch effort to save their owner. They will usually follow you, whine, bark, or otherwise try to grab your attention if this is the case.

Why YSK: If you have digital data that is important, (family photos, crypto keys/wallets...). Back it up and prevent permanently losing it....

Why YSK: So it’s easier to find communities here. For example I was able to find monster hunter community. Even if you have a different server you can still join. If you check the right side of the screen and follow the instructions so that you can subscribe to that community....

Why YSK: A proper tire has the tire label centered over the valve to make the valve easy to spot, and for balanced aesthetics....

Why YSK: No sense in making the locals mad unless you mean to. In some Middle Eastern countries, a thumbs-up is comparable to the middle finger. A peace sign in the UK is OK if your palm is facing away from you; otherwise, it’s an insult. Pointing with your index finger is offensive in Malaysia. An OK symbol is not OK in...

If you can’t remember how to spell desert or dessert, think of Strawberry Shortcake which has 2 x “S”. That makes deSSert the thing you eat, and deSert the place that’s hot...

For context, if you are shy or uncomfortable having your pictures taken, please reconsider! My uncle passed away due to cancer a few years ago and we realized that he didn’t like his pictures taken… So now all we have to remember him by are a handful of pictures.

YSK long noise videos cant effectively be compressed and as such take quite a lot of storage space and bandwidth. So if you want to keep the hosting costs of social media platforms low, for example when going public, you definetly wouldnt want disenfranchised users to upload them to your platform. This is the kind of noise you...

Why YSK: No matter how many times you try with English at certain times it may not go through. It can save you time by just not selecting a language the second try.

You know all those "easy" 4 week weight loss plans from weight watchers or others?...

Many English speakers apply what is known as a “hyperforeignism” to the Spanish word habanero, using an ñ to mimic other Spanish words like “jalapeño”. This is not correct though, as “habanero” is named for the Cuban city Habana (or Havana in English).

Upper note: This post is not about Lemmy. It’s about this specific community :)...

Let’s make a kick-ass banner for our community! We may also consider one that is on public domain, provided it has our members’ support....

Why YSK: to help keep the platform in order and help make the admins and mods’ work easier....

Because they don't get listed by browse.feddit.de you'll want to browse https://kbin.social/magazines to browse "magazines", which is what they call communities...

I was getting annoyed that the default view is always local posts with Active, and found out that you can change the defaults in the settings! Just don’t forget to hit save like I did....

We need two more moderators! Volunteers please comment or message me along with your past moderating experience. You are encouraged to start familiarising yourself with our rules! :)

It’s 1900s, not 1900’s. You only use an apostrophe when you’re omitting the first two digits: ‘90s, not 90’s or ‘90’s....
