Why YSK: The term "Genuine Leather" is a marketing term to sell the lowest quality leather possible....
When blocking communities, they will not show up in your “all” feed anymore. This makes browsing Lemmy nicer especially now that you might not subscribed to a lot of communities....
Why YSK: If you have a multistory home that has a large temperature difference between floors you may need to adjust your HVAC dampers and patch any leaks with aluminum tape....
Why YSK: Searching topcs on reddit was simple matter of entering desired term and prepending or appending keyword reddit. With lemmy’s decentralised structure finding particular topic without knowing to which, or rather if even there is community dealing with such topic(s) can be a headache inducing hurdle. So appending...
Why YSK: By using the built in cross post function users will be shown a link to the same post on other communities. This lets users quickly see what people in other communities are saying and also has the potential to expose someone to something new. For community owners this is a great way to go about seeding discussion in new...

Why YSK: TV has lied to you. If a cardiac arrest happens and you have an AED defibrillator at hand you might still need to do chest compressions....
Why YSK: It helps when calculating percentages. If you want to find out what 2% of 20 is, do 20% of 2 instead and you’ll get 0.4. So, 2% of 20 also equals 0.4....
Why YSK: Since May 2018, all newly-built cars sold in the United States are required to have a backup camera and video display for the camera. Many car dealers, both used and new, will advertise the backup camera as some kind of added luxury or special option and try to charge you more for it. Don’t bite the bait and...
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: 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.
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.
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 :)...
