Lovely idea, and I’m glad to see a “real forum”.

It depends on where you live, but generally you leave stuff out the front if you want to get rid of it (fridges, freezers, ovens, mattresses, sofas etc) - either officially, by arranging a “bulky goods” collection from the council, or waiting for someone who wants/needs it to take it. Large appliances generally get picked up by “rag and bone” men who weigh the metal in for scrap.
Remember that a large chunk of urban population don’t drive at all, and the majority that do drive small vehicles for short journeys - so not many people can take stuff like that to a recycling centre themselves.
I think you’re overestimating the amount of nice, sunny days available in British weather :)


I was there last week too. Maybe we had a secret Lemmy user meetup without realising?
We had a pregnant semi-stray cat come into our house to give birth. A few days later, I’d left a drawer open and found she’d moved herself and the kittens in.

All babies shit themselves, and evidence suggests I was once a baby - but since I have moved on, if I were to shake hands with a shitty-handed person, I would wash my hands afterwards.
Good call. For a treat, you can then take your part-cooked potato to your local library, then wedge the potato behind a radiator for half an hour to crisp up the edges a little :)
You have to cook the potatoes or they’re poisonous, and buying and running a hob or an oven is comparatively pretty expensive in the UK. I get your point though, if you’re a bit wealthier, of course you’d be looking at potatoes or other foods - and it can get really ingredient cheap if you buy a sack of potatoes and mostly just eat potatoes :)


I think you’re fine to type, as long as you give the cat a bit of fuss and attention at the end of each sentence.
I think “intersect” keeps only the shared sections, so it would give you “Rick Man”, the exact opposite of what we need. We’d need an “exclusion” or an “XOR” to retain the non-shared sections.
Alan Wake is a boolean operation between Alan Rickman and Rick Wakeman
Oh, they added a “modesty Norway” to cover up that filthy border.
I’m not going to let a post about “Jesus wrestling” go by without letting you know about our Lord and Saviour MDickie and his computer games.
Best known for making lovable janky wrestling games, he eventually branched out to making non-wrestling games where you:
Served your time in prison (via the medium of wrestling)
Followed the career of a musician (via the medium of wrestling)
And last but not least:
Lived the life of Jesus Christ (via the medium of wrestling)
The original, 3D classic - MDickie - The You Testament
The modern 2D remake - Steam - The You Testament 2D
For biting stuff.
I’m guessing that in some region of the world, ‘lever’ and ‘never’ rhyme with one another?


The fun police have been along and removed it now.
Yes - I’d also fully support any lordly pun-names :)
I hope that cat’s called “Lord Percy” or “Brigadier Wilkington-Smythe” or something suchlike.
You only need to change a few ingredients for it to be nice.
Make it bread dough, and replace the M&Ms with small cubes of cheese.
Then replace the “Greek salad” bit with melted cheese.
It’s on my to-do list when I have a bit of time :)
