Buying crap on Amazon that I want but don’t need. Whole family took a break together, it was nice

Should turn Amazon prime week into boycott week. We just did a one week break from Amazon in our house and it was refreshing.

Cops of lemmy, what's it like marijuana being not a big deal then all the sudden a really big deal then back to being like probably not a big deal to it probably becoming a really big deal again? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

It happens all the time. The world is a very big place and not everyone is exposed to it. There’s plenty of adults who have a huge bias against cannabis, many of those have never seen, smelled, or sampled any before

Are there large areas that private shipping companies refuse to service? It seems like a wasteful service if there is such little demand. Genuine question, I’m not trying to be an ass

What is your favorite (non-drug) high? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Flying paragliders and paramotors. After I land and go home for the day I feel the happiest I have ever known.

Why is the government post so important? I have 3 different delivery companies that visit my house more often than usps and for lower retail cost too.

While checking on my business insurance policy I found out it was canceled in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

I think I know why the insurance agent stopped carrying that company. Silver lining: imagine how difficult it would be to get paid after making a claim with this company had something happened.

Is there a device to help turn stoppers with an o-ring? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
Someone should research why older people struggle to identity whose phone is ringing if it's their own. Even if no one else in their social circle is using the same ringtone. in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

It’s because they don’t care, it’s not important to them. They are usually right too

DC power is very inefficient at low voltages. It’s hard to get 5v to stay steady at distances over about 10 feet

what exercises work for you to avoid back pain? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] Bocky@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Pull-ups were the key for my back. Once I could complete a set of 10 with body weight only it was like magic. Though, I do think that the pull-ups forced me to strengthen my core, which had a major impact. Then once those muscles were able to keep up it made everything else easier too.

What is something really stupid you purchased that turned out far better than expected? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Not many people put electric outlets under their bathroom sinks
