Those ones pacman has.

Those ghosts that have been following me about and harassing me?

Going to eat the haunty little bastards.

I put things like this in a box labelled “I don’t know how to recycle this”, then I put that box in the corner of the least-used room in the house, where I won’t see it often.

There’s a sort of white rectangular bag behind him. To the right of it is a large penile object on a string. I suspect this is it.

Yeah, I was being silly :)

Jeffrey Combs the actor.

I liked Gnome back when Ubuntu was brown.

Haha. I love an appealing Amazon photoshop job :)

Also this is separately hilarious (or perhaps terrifying):

Excellent answer.

I suspected the same, but metrically.

Technically true.

How thin would your floors and ceilings need to be for this to be real?

Kent Wanker.

It’s on my to-do list when I have a bit of time :)

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 :)
