  Lmao thank you! This is the comment I was looking for. Calling me out for being stupid and making a mistake instead of downvoting without explanation!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Exposing the Color Blind Glasses Scam⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So I’m curious, what do things look like with the glasses on that you’re able to distinguish these colors? Can you describe what you’re seeing when you see gray vs. pink with and without the glasses, for example? Sorry if it’s not really possible to do so. It’s just very interesting to me!

  Can you link me a to a clip or a pronunciation source that has someone pronouncing it like that? I’ve never heard that anywhere in my life. I’m guessing it’s a less common accent.

  I’m in the US and I’ve never heard anyone pronounce it “SAW-dur” in person or in any form of media. You are supposed to pronounce the L in the General American accent.

  I have tried some of the “tricks” in the comments and none work for me. Try as I might, I can only see them as face up and nothing else. It doesn’t make sense to me that they could ever appear face down because the lighting wouldn’t make sense.

  You joke, but it really is an incredibly cool experience. I am not a doctor, but I was privileged to have a hands on anatomy class in school where we had human cadavers. Things are so different in person than they are in textbooks. And getting to actual see, touch, and feel how the human body works and how it goes wrong is just amazing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Watching mouths fill up with towels⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t turn on the sound while I’m at work so maybe it explains it…but doesn’t the idea of adding water to the towel to expand it defeat the purpose of a towel? Like if I’m wiping up a spill, a soaking wet rag isn’t going to be super helpful. I guess it depends what you want to use it for. Maybe I’m just caught up on the world “towel” when it’s really more like an expandable wet wipe. Idk.

  I love it but I feel like it needs more flair

  What do those first couple of smokes feel like?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate getting up early.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember when I first got a full time job. I had finished school at that point. Every day I was just so fucking exhausted and wondered how the hell adults do this every day until they die. And then you have some people who do a zillion things after work and I’m just like how the fuck??

  People on the internet are so quick to jump on the “I can be just as productive working one less day out of the week” bandwagon, but communities on Lemmy/Reddit are filled with much more programmers and people working a standard office job than the average population.

  For a very large portion of career fields, it is physically not possible for you to do as much work while working 8 less hours a week.

  A tradesman cannot do as many jobs working one less day a week, a nurse cannot care for as many patients working one less day a week, a firefighter cannot put out as many fires working one less day a week, some working tech support cannot fill as many support tickets working one less day a week, a chef cannot make as many meals working one less day a week, the warehouse worker cannot move as many boxes working one less day a week.

  Look, I would more than advocate for everyone working less hours a week. But Lemmy/Reddit always seem to forget that there are a zillion other types of jobs out there that are different from their own. You physically just cannot be as productive working less hours for a lot of types of jobs because there isn’t “filler” in the day like many on Lemmy/Reddit describe. I have a job without filler where I physically cannot do the same amount of work in less hours. It would be fantastic, but it’s not something that I could see employers going for for any of these types of jobs.

  I dunno. Even Amazon doesn’t seem to have good Black Friday sales anymore. The sale prices are often a lie on their website nowadays when they used to not be. It will say the price is a Black Friday sale price, but really it’s always that price.

  Even though sales aren’t as good anymore, at least brick and mortar stores seemed to have stopped the Purge-like frenzy of real life battle royales for products on Black Friday. Everything is much less insane because the deals aren’t as good and the time frame for the deals is longer.
