Just a guy on the internet, totally a human and not an alien, if that’s what you were wondering.

JimmyDean,

I recommend you check out TheFreePizzaDude on Imgur. There is a limit to how often you can receive donations (like once every other month), but they will help with getting you a pizza or even some regular groceries if you ask.

JimmyDean,

What kind of psycho gets a knuckle tat on the inside of their knuckles?

JimmyDean,

You know if you block something you aren’t interested in you don’t even have to scroll past it, right?

You should learn how to properly write accessible image captions as the fediverse has a large amount of blind and visually impaired users who rely on screen readers (mashable.com)

Right now there is a bit left to be desired when it comes to lemmys accessibility features, but it’s a good idea to be mindful of the fact the fediverse and its platforms tends to have pretty universal accessibility features that will likely come to lemmy sooner rather than later

JimmyDean,

Alt-text descriptions should clearly convey both the content and the meaning of the image, and should aim to use as few words as needed. Describe what’s essential to understanding (and enjoying!) the intent of the posted photo — you don’t need to add in a sentence for every visual element, but should include as much as you need to create an accurate portrayal of the image. Cut out unnecessary words and combine separate sentences as much as possible. One to two sentences is usually more than enough room to describe what’s going on.

As mentioned before, these photos convey information to the people scrolling your page, even if you are just posting them to brighten up your feed. They have a purpose, and for that reason, alt text should focus more on the image’s meaning than its aesthetics. This means you’re not focused only on what the object in the photo looks like, but what it is and why it was posted.

I was hoping to see a format that people can easily follow and just fill in the blanks, but I suppose this is the gist of it: Describe the main purpose of the photo succinctly rather than each and every individual thing you can see.

JimmyDean,

This is more of a broad suggestion, but try to look for a discount grocer in your area. Where I live we have one called Grocery Outlet, they sell a lot of generic and near-expiration products for a bargain. Whenever I go, I’ll find things I like that are around half the price they’d be at a typical grocery store.

JimmyDean,

Where 👏 do 👏 you 👏 keep 👏 the 👏 nets…

JimmyDean,

There’s a pillar directly in front of the oven too. I guess the tenant can just forget about cooking anything bigger than a pizza bagel.

JimmyDean,

I would probably recommend trying Imgur. You need to link a phone number to the app when creating an account, but that actually helps cut down on bot traffic a lot, so it’s pretty much all real humans who will see your posts.

One user on Imgur that I see post often will put up a whole gallery of wholesome memes, then a random Go Fund Me link at the end just to help them get attention. I can’t say how effective it is, but it sure does get visibility once it hits the front page. Maybe try something like that but with some pics and info about your kitty?

Good luck, I hope you get the help you need!

JimmyDean,

Bethesda is like low-hanging fruit for this topic. I love their games but there’s so much “it just works” type stuff.

Like in Fallout 4 you can use a critical with a Fat Man, and even if your mini-nuke clearly does not hit the target, you’ll still get a hit just because you used a critical.

Antioch and Pittsburg police officers arrested by FBI (www.kron4.com)

A sweeping investigation began in early 2022 as a narrow probe into officers who allegedly cheated on college tests to obtain salary raises. FBI agents dug into the cheating scandal and opened a “Pandora’s Box” of unethical and criminal behavior among officers, a source told KRON4.

JimmyDean,

Ravaging to the constitution, indeed. I’ve already fainted thrice just since reading the headline!

JimmyDean,

Paraphrased, it says: “this made me think hard because I don’t like either option”

Nothing else is important information, just sensational fluff to make a regular statement sound more exciting.

JimmyDean,

Nice trick with the bell pepper, I may have to copy that

JimmyDean,

Late-morning tea break

JimmyDean,

Your comment has been awarded one Lemmy Gold: 🏅

JimmyDean,

Nobody on Lemmy is under the age of 30.

Although I might feel 30 sometimes, I’ll have you know I’m a ripe 28 & ¾

JimmyDean,

I think the egg is supposed to be boiled, but the rest looks great

JimmyDean,

In a past thread on this topic, I’ve seen a few indie artists say that they benefit because Spotify amplifies their audience. They make crap on the streams, but a larger audience base is worth the trade-off since they’ll be able to sell more concert tickets and merchandise.

JimmyDean,

Thank you. The moment I saw it, I knew it would be appreciated in this shitposting community.

JimmyDean,

Nowadays I just use the library whenever I need to print something. Most charge like 10 cents per page but some will let you print for free.

JimmyDean,

Imo it feels like the reddit migration has died down, but a good chunk the users that have stuck around are actually engaged in their communities. I’ve been seeing more instances created too, which is cool because it means people are hosting their own.

More recently I’ve noticed that Sync actually plays embedded videos now, which is probably the best update since its release. It’s feeling a lot more user-friendly and that should help it keep growing organically.

The only times I use reddit anymore is browsing with old.reddit a couple times a week. I don’t even login to that site now because I don’t engage with anything, I just check the news and stuff then come back to Lemmy.

JimmyDean,

!AntiqueMemesRoadshow material right there

JimmyDean,

This is effectively making him pay for it, quite literally, for the rest of his life. Imo that sounds like a more severe punishment than if he were actually rich enough to pay all at once and just end it early.

JimmyDean,

I don’t see how this could have even gone right. Wtf was he trying to do?

What are some things that can be done with blank dvds, nowadays?

So my family has a few containers of unused blank dvds that are just lying around collecting dust. i know dvds are almost useless because of streaming, but can they still be used. Theses dvds can only be written to once and they only have like 3 gb of storage on them, can they still be used?, do they have a use?

JimmyDean,

You can put them in a microwave and watch cool designs appear as you destroy them. I remember my siblings and I used to do this with old demo discs that were destined for the trash anyway.

(Disclaimer: this is more of a joke, not an actual recommendation)

JimmyDean,

Out of all the most prominent streaming services, Hulu has the most content I’d actually watch. Unfortunately, they still show ads in their cheaper paid subscription, which is a deal-breaker for me.

JimmyDean,

I usually see them while browsing Imgur

JimmyDean,

I see an obvious exploit with this: congress members enlisting family members who would rather vote ‘No’ just so they can get more votes for their own choice.

You might think “nobody would enlist their child to fight a war that they’re against” but I promise you, there are people like that.

JimmyDean, (edited )

Imo blocked users get less engagement, therefore it helps to some degree. Also, unlike reddit, it’s somewhat difficult to browse the Fediverse without being logged in. I’d guess that if any problematic content does slip through, it reaches a much smaller audience than if it were to slip through on reddit just because of how things are decentralized here.

edit: I tried it again and I now agree that it is easier to browse with an account. I saw a lot more content than the first time I tried it ~2 months ago

JimmyDean,

Your concerns are valid. That’s something to be expected as the platform grows, but it’s alarming nonetheless.

JimmyDean,

I like to use old.reddit when I browse it now. I saw others mention it, and after giving it a try, I can see why people like it more than the ‘updated’ reddit.

JimmyDean,

It is called ‘boofing’ and the number of people that do it is more than 0. Because of how the body absorbs substances that way, people can get a stronger effect than consuming them orally.

What foods would be best to give to someone living on the streets in a very hot/humid country?

I often go to some cities in Asia and sometimes will see someone who lives on the street. Many times they are sleeping during the day since it’s so hot and sometimes they look malnourished too. What would be the best foods I could provide them (assuming some restaurants or convenience stores are nearby) which would not spoil?

JimmyDean,

Dry goods that don’t need to be prepared. Things like crackers and beef jerky are reliable choices.

JimmyDean,

It’s great. I get all of the access to the Fediverse without really any of the connectivity issues I experienced on my lemmy.world account

JimmyDean,

Thats pretty cool. It does look similar to the one in that link, albeit less plump.
