    "Why does Coca Cola keep making all those single-use plastic bottles? Sure can't be anything to do with me and all the Coke I drink". This attitude really isn't helped by articles like the one OP linked.

    A very easy one is to stand on one leg every day while you clean your teeth

  • 20-minute brisk walks can dramatically reduce depression risk, research finds. Findings remained consistent even after accounting for factors such as sex, education, age, smoking and alcohol use.

    It's a shame we have so many people trying to prevent these changes by demanding that their driving has to come first.

  • Approximately 75% of accidents resulting in pedestrian fatalities occur during periods of dawn, dusk, or night
  • br3d br3d 1y ago 100%

    Saying it's pedestrian visibility is victim blaming, and putting the onus to act on those hurt. If it's legal for a pedestrian to be near the road, the driver should be anticipating their presence and driving accordingly

    Just saw this linked on Reddit. The government have got all the big lenders to agree to a range of measures to support mortgage holders, including the option to switch to interest-only for 6 months to wait out the period until dates reduce, and various other borrower-friendly options. Have a look if you've been worrying about payments under the current rates

    how does my "neighbor" hear my private telephone conversations.

    Yes, there was a famous thread on Reddit where somebody was experiencing lots of weird stuff, asked a question like this, and it turned out to be CO poisoning

  • ELI5 Reddit to Lemmy
  • br3d br3d 1y ago 100%

    An instance is like an independent version of Reddit

    Each Reddit (instance) has its own set of subreddits (called communities)

    Whichever instance you're on, you can access communities in almost any other instance

    So in sum... Just sign up to an instance, subscribe to communities that interest you, and don't overthink it!

  • How to find communities kn different instances.
  • br3d br3d 1y ago 100%

    A good starting point is to search lemmyverse.net/communities and then search for the community within Liftoff. If you find a community such as, say, "news" hosted at lemmy.world then search for !news@lemmy.world (including the !)

  • Musk is undeniably just trying to run twitter into the ground at this point.
  • br3d br3d 1y ago 97%

    Much like the case of Reddit, Musk might want to reflect on who actually produces all the content he's guarding so jealously, and ask himself what's likely to happen to the value of his site if he makes it difficult for millions of us to write all his content for free

  • Your favorite Discworld novel?

    The first couple are widely held to be the least good. I'd suggest jump into the Night Watch set (Guards Guards etc) or the Granny Weatherwax set (Wyrd Sisters etc) - they're widely held to be good starting points

    (Edit: I appear to be fond of the phrase "widely held" today...)

  • Lemmy is so good right now because there are no kids here
  • br3d br3d 1y ago 100%

    Yes, I got ground down by the same same discourse and tropes on post after post. I got especially enraged by "Came here to say this", which added literally nothing of value to the debate but would usually, somehow, have loads of upvotes

    There's a link to a road.cc article. Perhaps your Lemmy frontend isn't showing it properly? I can see it on Liftoff

  • Does anyone know what is a good cycling computer? All I need is good GPS/mapping features that doesn't connect to my phone what so ever. I don't need fitness functions at all
  • br3d br3d 1y ago 100%

    I don't think you'll find one without fitness functions, but on all of them you can largely ignore the fitness functions.

    For mapping, what functions do you need, and what's your budget? You can get cheaper units that just show a map (and perhaps overlay a preplanned route) o'r more expensive units that do true satnav-style navigation and can re-route on the move (eg Hammerhead). Knowing your budget would make this easier.

    (And with all that said, probably your best option is an old Android phone off eBay and a handlebar mount to run one of the many mapping programs)

  • What's currently the best Lemmy app for Android?
  • br3d br3d 1y ago 100%

    That's a useful feature, but I think what the other person wants to hide is posts on the front page. A lot of Reddit apps let you permanently/temporarily hide posts that you'd already seen, which was really useful as a way of 'resetting' your feed when you've already scrolled through it recently
