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...
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: 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...
Navigate your phone settings and first go to about phone. From there go to software information. You should see your build number.

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.
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.
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).
So say I make an account on lemmy.world and post a bunch of stupid comments around other instances then decide to delete my account because I’m ashamed of them. After I delete my account, a copy of all those comments I made on other instances remain on those instances as a “shadow copy.” There isn’t any way to actually...

Why YSK: People seem to, on average, think that a car takes a lot of fuel to start up. In reality, it takes on the order of a few millilitres of fuel to start an engine. That means if your car isn’t equipped with an automatic start/stop system to stop your engine instead of idling, it saves fuel to turn off your engine and...
Why YSK: Back in 2020 when Australia had our massive wildfires I still had to drive to work everyday in the smoke. I also went and got my car serviced around the same time and they showed me how dark my cars air filters had gotten after just a few weeks of those conditions.
