TIL that in the 1980s the USDA distributed government cheese to low income neighborhoods in c/[email protected]

Honest to goodness, it was freaking good. I'm sure the Europeans would absolutely die if they tried it, they'd be so offended we call it cheese, but it was good .

What? I had no idea! I manually migrated my subscriptions over when I switched!

It was hard for me, so I vote everyone must manually do it, for character building or some such bullshit.

We had government cheese in the late 90s and early 00s. Honestly, it was good. I don't know wtf the difference between gubment cheese and American cheese was, but it was so much better than regular American cheese.

Disagree or not, let's not turn "reddit refugee" into some kind of insult. Damn near everyone on this site is a reddit refugee. Lemmy is a great alternative to reddit because it feels welcoming around here, and comments like that really fuck up the whole ethos.

Super, super early days, but I just started talking to this guy, and for the first time ever I feel like this might actually be an option for me, except replace wife with husband.

Wayyyyy to early to be thinking that, but the brain does what it does

TIL about Clarke's three laws, the most famous of which is the third: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. in c/[email protected]

The last one there is my basic philosophy for real life. Magic is real, we just understand it really, really well

I hate that I had to check the source... You shouldn't have to check the source on a headline like that :(

Where cheek kissing is a common greeting in c/[email protected]

I'm very curious how covid impacted the culture of cheek kissing, and if it came back quickly after vaccines were available

I always mention whenever I see libro.fm brought up: if you don't have a local store you want to support for whatever reasons, Firestorm in Asheville, North Carolina is a fantastic refuge for the local queer community, it's a worker cooperative, and they're struggling to survive. Please consider them if there isn't another local place in your own community. With the big book stores and then Amazon, a lot of communities don't have a physical local shop anymore, so if someone has a plug for their local, I think it's worth making on these kinds of threads.

I just leave mine on top 6 hours, and it's been plenty for my use, but if scaled can show me smaller communities where I might find new stuff, I'll definitely try that!
