  • Yeah ngl I tried this about a decade ago for shits and giggles

    Given I wasn’t expecting much, I was pleasantly surprised!

    For Americans that aren’t getting it, you know how hard shell tacos are good, but taco bell wraps it in a tortilla sometimes for a bit of decadence?

    Toast is good, why doesn’t it also deserve a jacket from time to time?

    OTOH, I have better sandwich fillings than just more bread, so I’ve never done it since. Might as well make a club sandwich if I’m having that much bread





  • Wait for the centralised thing to fuck something up (and they will), then say “hey I’ve been using this to get away from all the bullshit of [service name]”

    In the mean time, post & comment. The more content & discussion there is, the more attractive it will be to others. If you’ve got a niche hobby you’re passionate about, get a community going or try to grow an existing one if it already exists.

    I comment way more on Lemmy than I was doing on Reddit towards the end, partly because the people here are generally good to chat to, but also because I want this place to keep being good so I can continue to keep using it.

    Economics is a funny one as ultimately it’s a focused & technical strand of anthropology (which I believe is considered a science by many) that people often incorrectly lump in with maths.

    Kinda tough for an academic to run meaningful experiments on an actual economy though beyond models and simulation. And as anyone who has watched a Gary Stevenson video or two will know, your average academic economist is pretty bad at models and simulations.

    Though I guess even bad experiments are still experiments

    Edit: typo

    You can eat as shitty as you like, you just need to make sure you burn the calories.

    You can spend an hour on a bike/running and burn getting close to a thousand calories. Lifting is more like half that, but has the benefit of increasing your metabolism over time
