  • 1000 forks plus packaging is 4lbs.

    250 forks per pound.

    Standard forklift capacity is 5000lbs.

    250 x 5000 = 1,250,000 forks.

    Maybe slightly realistically and safely, due to load height and placement restrictions, let’s just call it between 750,000 and 1,000,0000 forks.

    Forks can fork a lot of forks. Fork.




  • A previous employer gave shares to anyone that stayed 5 years after their IPO. I bought some more through their employee discounted buying program. The share price is less than half what they opened with.

    I loathe the company and the people who run it because they are psychopaths that will not take no for an answer. That’s also why I never plan on selling those shares. They will be successful, and in 30 years when they are ruthless industry leading monopolistic psychopaths, and those shares have split a few times, I’m going to have a nice little nest egg.




  • I noticed immediately that Lemmy was far less vitriolic than reddit was, but that seems to be changing quickly.

    Some of my comments are entirely satire. Some are formal, but a lot of them are my not-so-hard takes or opinions on general bullshit. One of the first comments I made on lemmy a few months ago was still how I feel about social media. Once the “/s” is necessary to distinguish jokes from reality in a community, hate has already won.

    While a lot of my comments are generally well received, I’ve been finding that my purely satirical comments have been being disliked at increasingly larger rates, seemingly because users aren’t sure if I’m joking or not. Maybe it’s the audience changing or maybe my satire isn’t landing, but that leads me to something worse.

    What I find is a more dismal indicator is that my inoculous opinions aren’t being refuted, I’m just being called stupid for having them. I don’t think I’ve outright insulted someone, or called someone stupid since I was an 11 year old on AIM, but that is what seems to be becoming the norm on lemmy.

    Now I’m not saying i can’t take the bullshit. Ill embrace it when given, but if this place was supposed to replace reddit, or be a more free and accepting group or communities, it’s failing. Newcomers aren’t going to stay here long if we can’t get along, and communities aren’t going to thrive with toxic echo chamber tendencies.

    Anyway, if anyone wants to have tongue in cheek banter, too bad. I’ll be watching Latex Angel and hotkinkyjo videos. HKJ can fit entire human leg in her torso.

    Edit: I also seem to have a follower.(?) I find it odd that most of my comments have a single downvote. Maybe I’m wrong, but if I’m not, downvote away stranger. At least I know you care about me.



  • I had a specific problem today that googling didn’t help (it was a google account problem, go figure). I added reddit to the search terms and clicked into reddit for the first time in months. All I can say is that their UI is purposely horrible. Like, so fucking bad.

    I would rather join tiktok than use reddit at this point. That should sound like sarcasm, or hyperbole, but it isn’t. Lemmy is feeling like the last social media network I’ll join, and as soon as lemmy gets to the toxicity levels of reddit, which no offense but I feel will be soon, I’m probably going to be the weird person that just uses their phone to call their family, utility companies, and watch hardcore anal fisting, footing, and prolapsing videos.











  • He’s 3.9% older than Trump! Now that’s old! Just ignore that their ages are 77 and 80.

    In all seriousness, along with tax forms, every candidate should have to present a clean bill of health that includes cognitive testing. I would tack on a psych eval as well, but I’m not sure most in politics would pass it.

    Edit:

    The first part of my comment was satire. Back in 2016 there was a lot of discussion about Bernie’s age of 72. Now either a 77 or 80 year old is going to be president. Biden is still the lesser of two evils, but he’s still far older than should be considered. Same goes for Trump. Age and term limits should be assessed for every political position.

    Also, let me know how a clean bill of health and cognitive testing would be a bad thing.

    “I sure would hate the my candidate to be out of the running for something as small as a team of doctors saying their basic. bodily and brain functions are dwindling.”
