I have my great grandmother’s tea kettle. One of my earliest memories was at her house using it to fill the bird bath in her garden. I used it regularly until it developed a leak. Now it just sits on a shelf in my office.

waz@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It's interesting that we have multiple appliances in the kitchen who's sole job is to turn electricity into heat.5·6 months agoHell yeah! I haven’t had soup since Wednesday. I gotta make me some more soup.
I do the same, but I just pull about 5-10 feet past the pump so it’s not even in my line of site.
waz@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Expectations vs reality for those who moved from a city to a small town?10·8 months agoYeah, I’m a pretty cheap person, but I don’t go to a bar to save money, I go to relax and socialize.
waz@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What kind of communities would you like to see either created or become more active on Lemmy?6·9 months agoI was looking for some eyebleach earlier and was disappointed to see how quiet all of the eyebleach communities are.
Most of my life is pretty busy. When I have a moment where I have nothing to do, I try to enjoy it instead of wishing it away.
Having the time to do nothing is underappreciated.
waz@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Everybody talks about beliefs like they're this big important thing.4·9 months agoRead the book Sapiens.
Being able to believe in fiction is what allows humanity to function.
I’d never heard of the monkey banana ladder experiment before. At the end of the article it said that that experiment has never actually been done. When searching further, it seems like this is an often cited hypothetical experiment. I found mention of a similar study that actually happened that allegedly had different results but the details seem to be behind a paywall.
I’ve not seen the wire, but now I’m afraid if I do it will make me sad.
I realized the dangers involved. That is why I never became a police officer myself.
… actually the reason is because I was too old by the time I had the idea to try, but realistically I had talked myself out of it before I knew that.
I have had the thought before that the police problem could be improved if decent human beings joined the force and tried to change it from the inside out. I think it could make a difference but I don’t think many people consider it because it feels like joining the wrong team.

waz@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the most unexpectedly useful item you've ever bought under $20?17·9 months agoMake sure you also test it while drunk or heavily drugged up.
waz@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•It's Father's Day in the United States. What is a memory of your father that left the greatest impact on your life?6·10 months agoI know my comment was low effort. I appreciate the supportive response anyway, even if it wasn’t that well deserved.
Thank you.
I’d be doing this right now, but the rest of the family is sleeping.
waz@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Over 30 we no longer want to go out - we want to be left alone, with a beer/wine, a blanket, tv, and tacos…1·10 months agoThis is true. Although, every once in a while I’ll convince the wife unit to go out and we both usually end the night with a sense of regret and a feeling that we both would have preferred to have just stayed home.
waz@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Who is a celebrity you used to really like, but don't anymore?31·10 months agoFor me Bill Cosby was not surprising. Danny Masterson was disappointing. I havent yet heard what Steven Tyler or Kevin Spacey did and now I’m afraid to Google it. I have no idea who Anthony Kiedis is.
…just looked them all up…sigh, yeah. I’m with you. It does make it impossible to appreciate the art with that knowledge.
waz@lemmy.worldto [Dormant] moved to !historymemes@piefed.social@lemmy.world•Helping fascists will surely show The Libs!English12·10 months agoThis scene always bugged me. The water level in the bag should match the water level outside the bag.
Not relevant to the point at all, I just wanted mention it.
I kinda see your point, but at the same time im also a little envious of people like this. It has to feel good to like something so much that they behave how they do. I can’t think of anything that I enjoy as much as some of these fans. It seems weird to me, but good for them.
