Look out grandma! Those are going to become cripsy apples.

No, it says that hard work “leads to success” not that “hard work is success”. Typically, when applied to people, success doesn’t mean working hard. It means attaining something the person wants. In the case of a donkey, their personal definition of success is likely different than for a person. That is what I meant by my comment.

If I’m a donkey, I define it as having good apples, tasty carrots, lots of oats, and companionship from other animals and humans.

I’m also amazed that this comment, of all of my comments, is one of my most downvoted on lemmy. I thought it was pretty tame and just pointed out the silliness of the meme.

This depends on how you define success.

Edit: Huh, I thought this was a pretty tame comment. I just mean that donkeys likely have a different idea of “success” than people do. I’m not quite sure why this is being taken so negatively. I just thought the meme was kind of silly and dumb.

Wow, that was a little strong given the subject. I’m not sure what I did to deserve being cussed at when I was just talking about electric kettles. Especially since I said I do use a kettle myself.

One reason that some Americans microwave water rather than use a kettle is that our electricity is half the power of UK electricity. It takes a lot longer for an electric kettle to boil here. That said, I do use a kettle when boiling water for tea.

I got back in touch with a friend of mine who who graduated in the same class as me with a B.S. in Physics. When they learned that I’m an atmospheric scientist, their first question was “What’s the deal with Chem trails?”

Point being, conspiracy theories also infect the educated sometimes.

This is my toddler. He’s becoming manipulative.

Gun lovers who don’t even know the difference between “shot” and “shoot”.

Oh, come on, they’re both on drugs.

Until you realize that the little speck of hummus in the corner of the container counts as “not empty”.

If the rumors about his odor are to be believed, though, he may not like showers.

Some of the publicly available data is disappearing under the new administration. Most notably information about COVID, long COVID, vaccines, and bird flu is disappearing. Presumably, this data dump contains the missing data.

You’d have to be staring at the woman’s belly pretty closely to see the 6mm embryo and, if you did, you’d realize that it certainly has no consciousness yet.

This is normal everyday stuff in Japan! Not meaning to minimize what you found, it’s pretty cool that you found that in a local Walmart, but this is an everyday thing in my house.

Tip: Cook some rice, wrap in nori, eat, yum!

Same for me, but I guess I’m a little younger since my console was NES and, later, a Gateway 2000 computer.

I’m so glad that I had those experiences and so sad that my son won’t. I hope that I can give him enough of a similar experience that he can at least identify with Calvin and Hobbes.

There is one near me that is now a church.

They still exist, but the Pizza Hut chain and it’s remain restaraunts are shadows of what they used to be. Pizza Hut was awesome in the 80’s. Now the old one near my house is a church.

Tell me that there is an anti trust suit over this.

How does he not just topple over? Does the shit in his diaper act as a counter balance?
