If wasting the end pieces of sliced bread upsets you, I've got some devastating news...

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wasting anything that's still safe to eat should upset you

Don't cry over stapled bread

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Noted. Can you offer me any advice regarding this milk I just spilled?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Ah dude. I'm sorry. That's devastating. It's ok to cry. Anyone would

On a meta note, I just fell for your community link.

At least we know which side OP's bread is ~~buttered~~ stapled on.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is it really a waste if it's a bread in the forest? I'm pretty sure there are atleast some animals which would definitely ate this.

Well, think of it this way. Since a monkey will be able to eat this, it'll mean one less gazelle eaten. So really this saves lives

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't know a whole lot about monkeys, but I'm pretty sure they don't eat gazelles.

Oh no, not 1 (one) slice of bread! Millions will starve!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Is it still 1 (one) slice of bread if it's a whole community of people sharing pics of how they wasted bread?

Is is still wasted if it's 1 (one) slice of bread?

I want to see people stop polluting trees with staples

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 years ago (2 children)

And I want people to stop porting meaningless reddit meme subs and instead create their own lemmy-based meme instances.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

it's as meaningless as you want it to be. still fun, though.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

We need peanut butter on billionaires

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Kinda stretching the meaning of pollution here aren't we?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Not to the tree, who get infections and diseases from this.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

The trees deserve it and they know what they’ve done

Reposting from a couple days ago:


I'm legally obliged to shill the various crafting communities, my two most used are [email protected] and [email protected] but you can find lots more in the sticky thread in either of those.

Then there's also [email protected] which has been a bit quiet lately so if you've made something, go show it off!

I love anarchychess.

We need that bot that links the top 3 post of the community.

Although I am pretty sure it's dead... whenever I check there is only one user... and I am pretty sure that's me.

@AnimalsInHats (or !AnimalsInHats for our lemmy siblings). I would love to see someone other than me posting there!

Preach

Found minimalism this year, it's been a game changer for me. Have reduced my wardrobe by half, worked through all the misc pantry items I've been hoarding (or threw out shockingly expired canned goods...), have away stuff from my basement. Feels amazing, less clutter and more control.

So much stuff was "good to have" or "just in case" with a layer of dust on it. From a mental health perspective it's been really nice to go through and keep up with.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Good for you.

I constantly have to guard my stuff against my gf who has minimalist tendencies. She doesn't get that I like having stuff around that I pick up once every three years. It brings back memories for me. Also, who throws out books because they've read them? Heresy, I say!

The community on Lemmy seems less about minimalism for the sake of being minimal and more about ethics, minimal pedantry ("should we stop taking pictures because they create clutter?"), and being cheap/frugal.

Did you have a different community or resource in mind? I'm interested, but only with respect to my stuff, and in a more "buy it for life" way.

I thought a sawmill based community would be great as I would love to post some cool videos of things but it never went anywhere on reddit. Guess it's just too niche.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I'd happily look at sawmill posts.

I really miss r/onebag, and c/onebag has almost nothing going on.
