Its more obvious on Mastodon since Mastodon federates with everybody. Imagine, while being on Twitter and without leaving the Twitter app, being able to post and comment on Reddit, watch YouTube videos and leave comments, and also interact with people on Instagram and Facebook. Some blogs also federate too via WordPress. I know you dont have to imagine that since you're here, but when I first started out it blew my mind.

Now, the way I phrase it to people I'm pitching the platforms to is "You get to choose whether you want to be in the hands of either a Corp that wants to turn you into profits for their shareholders, or you can put your data in the hands of some autistic dork who is really, really passionate about either server architecture or infosec. There's pros and cons there. Bluesky and Twitter fundamentally are not on your side, they want money from somewhere, but they can afford to pay people to both keep their servers running efficiently and defend against bad actors. The admins of Lemmy and Mastodon are fundamentally on our side, but the quality you're going to see is on par with a hobby project."

It is. If you say it as a teacher, youre going to hear complaints about it from the parents just as fast as if you had used the f-word.

How to find out if milk is spoiled if you can't smell? (self.asklemmy)

Had a bad experience a few weeks ago when I was drinking milk from a freshly-opened bottle of milk, and after I had almost finished my first glass I started thinking something was off about the taste. I figured that if it was expired, I would have noticed by now. So I poured my second glass, and to my horror chunks came out.

I wish I had thought of returning the bottle before I dumped it all down the sink in a panic. I would have liked my four dollars back.

I was put off of milk for weeks after that. Now I'm paranoid. As stated in the title, I can't smell, so my sense of taste is also not the best. I just got more milk, and I can't tell if the milk I just drank is actually slightly sour or if I'm just placebo-effecting the taste into being because I am expecting it to be spoiled. Is there a test I can do that will prove the milk is not spoiled?
