Why YSK: An airbag typically deploys at 100-200 MPH and if your phone is sitting there it will be launched towards you and probably impale you. Don't put your phone on your steering wheel over your airbag. Don't put any alternate logos or bedazzling on your airbag. Basically don't do anything to or put anything on your airbag...
Why YSK: I use the web version of Lemmy both on desktop and mobile. By going directly to the 2nd page of posts, I get rid of both the neverending stream of new posts and of the same old posts that keep sticking to the 1st page. It works for all the filters: active, hot... No need to scroll down, just change the number in the end...
YSK - this is a rant but meant as a public service because everyone should know about this shoddiness....
You may come across one you just might like. They change on a regular basis.
The stems and leaves are virtually tasteless and make eating strawberries easier. They even have nutritional value!...
Why YSK: We have a significant number of users now, and yet the amount of content to scroll through is still fairly small. This is because not all users are the same, and while the majority prefer to lurk, and a much smaller minority prefer to comment, the percentage that really likes making posts, memes, art, rants, videos etc...
Why YSK: your upvotes (favorites) and downvotes( reduces) are public information....
Several years ago I waited until the first hot day of summer to turn on my AC. This is how I found out about one of the busiest times for repairmen and had to sweat for two weeks. Now I do a test run a couple of weeks before it heats up. Same goes for the furnace at the end of Autumn.
Why YSK: Transparent background images often don’t look very nice on Reddit, but they can be quite sleek over here. For some examples just look at the profile pictures of mod list for this community on the sidebar. They also work well for communities. Be careful to pick colors that aren’t too dark or too light, and which...
Why YSK? Comments you reply positively to, should definitely get your upvote. Comments you disagree with should be at your discretion. Trolls deserve downvotes (seriously, they live for those). Disagreeing with someone in the midst of a good discussion doesn't necessarily warrant one, and might deserve an upvote. Even if you...
GOODBYE RELATIVE LINKS!!!...
Disclaimer: I am just a random stranger on the internet who likes uBlock Origin, read a handy comment, and figured out how to press F12. I am by no means a webpage expert, and these changes may have unintended consequences...
Why: Save money and headache, not just on software or services, but on your tax bill. Software and preparation services won’t necessarily teach you about deductions or credits that you can get, saving you money....

In the past drivers were taught to keep their hands at 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock. Now it is advised to hold the steering wheel differently depending on your steering technique...
Seniors are especially susceptible to heat sickness and death....
Both their functionings are complex, so people can get impressed. But for both of them, all the complexity is inside the device and there isn’t much to put together; and the way they hook up to your house is really simple....
Why YSK: it's convenient but there's no "my sublemmies" button that makes it totally obvious, so if you are like me and get confused by anything not totally obvious, you should know these two ways to see a list of your sublemmies:...
Why YSK: Until Lemmy version 0.18 address this bug, you can browse the front page without it being auto updated and spammed with new posts....
Why YSK: making the most of the fediverse means aggregating content from as many places as possible, but it's not an intuitive process right now, especially for those using apps like Jerboa or Mlem....
Why YSK:” So you see post that are not the big reddit related mega threads.
Ecosia is a German search engine company which donates 80% of its revenue to planting trees. They take Bing, reskin it, and spend the profits from advertising on planting trees. They’re up to about 175,000,000 trees so far....
Why YSK: DON’T bring it somewhere to ‘save’ it unless it’s in immediate danger - you’re probably just kidnapping it from its mom. People find baby deer or rabbits with no parents nearby and think they’re abandoned, so they bring them to shelters to try to “save them”. In reality they’re just forcibly separating...
Why YSK: Interviewers like to weed out people who have gaps in their employment history for myriad nonsensical reasons. If you remember that this is all just a game to the employer, you can play to win....
Why YSK: You might be used to Reddit where you can't edit titles. This is important both for the errant poster, but also for the person coming from ages in the future who might stumble upon it.
