I completely agree. Every so often I get an itch to have a look at Reddit, and though the niche subs still seem alright, the comments of anything near the front page are beleaguered with low-quality jokes and karma grabs.

God forbid you’re actually interested in discussing the subject, any comment that takes more than a few seconds to write or read gets buried under a thousand others like your first examples.

Rosemary chips actually sound pretty good, never seen that in the US.

It’s like Final Destination with children.

I think that’s a fantastic description for Willy Wonka. I remember as a kid watching the boat ride scene and thinking “is Mom sure this is a kid’s movie‽”

I’ll confess I do this with some regularity. If I unwrap a piece of cheese and see it’s moldy, well I’m not tossing a nice hunk of aged gouda in the trash! I’ll slice the mold off, then do a sniff and nibble test. If it still tastes moldy, keep slicing until it doesn’t.

I’ve done this since I was a kid, so who knows if it’s actually safe, or if I’ve just spent decades rolling the dice and getting lucky.

They’re also at the lowest drainage point for that whole valley. Plus, the properties of the lakebed make it so that water is very slow to soak into the ground, so it’s going to take a while for things to dry out.

Hah, the number on my bank account sometimes feels like it’s just pixels.

But most valuable to me would be old irc chatlogs with people who’ve passed. It’s been years since I’ve felt the need to pull them out and read them, but I’m happy to know they’re there.

I curate the communities I follow to only be nice, hobby-related things, so when I’ve had enough of the all feed, there’s plenty to see without the horror stories.

Trypophobia, something about those kinds of holes… *shudder*

Maybe some non food gift, like a bouquet of flowers? Or a gift card to a local movie theater or other non food activity?

Not to make light of things, but the first thought that came to my head for counteracting bad tasting medicine is a spoonful of sugar.

Here’s to getting all those achievable goals!

On the pill front, is it possible to crush them and mix with something more easily swallowable?

I’m subscribed to both! And I’ve tossed a couple butts your way already ^-

Maybe swimming for exercise? Not in a gator-pond, but are there local community pools nearby?

Hah, that sounds like me! I started a few communities in places where I knew I could supply some OC, and so far its been mostly just me posting my stuff, but I’m stoked whenever I get comments!

As someone trying to diet, 100% the calorie deficit 😖

You know I thought about deleting my account, but with a combination of nostalgia and the hope that some of my comments would still be useful led me to decide to just leave it in stasis.

So far, pretty much everything I’ve posted on Lemmy has been new OC, but I think I’ll start scraping and reposting some of my old reddit posts eventually.

I used to comment a lot more than I would post back on Reddit, but I’ve been putting in an effort to try to build up communities here, both my own and others. So I’ve been scraping all my old pictures to find useful content, and as a result, have more posts than comments.

Oh cool, I’d love to see your photos.

Eh, for all their advertising, Red Bulls are actually on the weaker side for energy drinks.
