The toilets/restrooms at restaurants (or at least many fastfood restaurants?) are often shared and used by both employees and customers. It grossed me out a bit a bit at first, especially as they are, in my experience, quite often pretty filthy. So all the nastiness customers drag in could potentially be picked up by employees.

I’ve been to BKs and Wendys’ where I left the establishment as soon as I entered, just because the whole place looked and smelled like somewhere you shouldn’t eat. I suppose these were more often than not in pretty rural areas…

While on the toilet topic, I’ve found public restrooms at e.g. gas stations and shopping malls to often be, uh, less than inviting. I think I’ve seen more overflowing toilets on a 4 week vacation in the US than I’ve seen in 40 years over here, in northwest Europe.

To be fair, I’ve driven east/west at least 10 times over the years, so I’ve been to a lot of public restrooms and the bad experiences tend to stay with you for longer than the good ones.

Slow Horses isn’t terrible either.

Doh, two communities, but none for us who need it explained like we’re four. /s

Hey, Viktor, what if you give 20% of your country to Putin, then perhaps he’ll agree to get the heck out of Ukraina and we can live forever in peace?

You might be surprised at how many people don’t really know how to use Google/a search engine effectively.

Things like “what should I search for to find X” is a sentence I hear from both friends and colleagues quite often.

I haven’t really played around with anything else since Sync for Lemmy was released, because I’m perfectly happy with it.

On many bottles I’ve encountered the ring that keeps the cap attached to the bottleneck has been quite loose, so you rotate the cap up/left/right, thinking you’re good to pour, then as you get going the cap slips back down, ensuring you distribute whatever you were pouring all over the the table.

“Fitte” is a norwegian word for pussy, so apparently that was all it took to get a giggle out of me today.

It’s disgusting how many things people can still do without being exposed to advertising.

Loudspeakers: Imagine how many speakers there are in the world, and how often they’re not playing anything. All loudspeakers should always play ads if not utilized for anything else.

Edit: I went hiking last weekend, and while out there the silence was deafening. Out in the wild, where it’s relatively quiet, we’d only need to place speakers every few hundred meters to efficiently broadcast ads to hikers and such.

Alternatively, just salad, just bowls, just wraps and just more.

Your prayers have been answered.

It takes an extra special kind of asshole, and apparently Russia is #1 in breeding them.

Who knows… maybe we’ll experience pointless wars and massive inequality… selfish douchebags who only care about bolstering their ego might gain power… heck, maybe even the climate will slowly start changing for the worse.

The Junta hard at work creating another paradise on earth. /s

I bet they’re rethinking their attitude towards the Holocaust, now that they’re experiencing just how much fun it is to suppress and kill others. /s

Mhm, but the “Regan era computer” has a CD/DVD ROM and a Pentium processor.

Yeah, take that Leonardo, that’s what you get for your plight against sustainable agriculture! /s
