Not like Lemmy needs more engagement or anything but sure, no harmless tangents allowed. Got it. You guys have fun. I'm taking a break from Lemmy.

Dude argued with his own fans to defend those guys. He really is as stupid as he seems.

Just putting interesting info out there. Kinda weird to seem defensive over that?

I've personally not seen a single conservative recognize or admit that their policies hurt themselves. At most, ONE of them said things might get a little tougher for a while, but we'll be better off in the end. I'm surrounded by these idiots. They're hopelessly lost.

The sellers on AliExpress have to pay duty now. Granted, they probably declare far less than true value, but the tariffs already made prices on AliExpress increase. You just don't notice it because it's rolled into the sale price or added to taxes and shipping.

Most things I shop for on AE are around 20% higher than they were before the tariffs started and de minimis was removed. I suspect sellers were shipping from China to other countries and then to US so the tariffs wouldn't be so harsh. Now that we seem to be removing the de minimis exception from other countries, that work around could end - leading to additional price increases.

Sharks aren't bothered at all. There's probably lots of animals that respond differently than humans. I believe birds enjoy capsaicin.

I thought that while typing it. It would be a 5 second YouTube video, but the text description is hard to follow.

Me too, but there's a way to make the twists easier to use.

  • Hold the open end of the bag and twist the loaf to make the twisted end
  • Fold the wire in half around the twisted part of the bag
  • Pinch the 2 ends of the wire with one hand and hold the open end of the bag with the other hand. The bread will hang below that like a Y.
  • Swing the loaf of bread in a loop around your hands 2 or 3 times like you're making a ring with your arms and swinging the bread into it or out of it. That twists the wire around the bag.

Lots of the bread in thΓ© US has that clip instead of the little wire thing

Didn't think it needed the /s, but maybe it always needs the /s
