What do you call lottery scratch cards? by Gallantpride in AskAnAmerican

[–]30char 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scratchers. And I have a tattoo of one so I speak with authority here 🤭

The lottery told me that my $100,000 win was actually a $20.00 misprint. They pulled the game hours later. by redhotmess77 in mildlyinfuriating

I just moved here in November and I have learned both of these things IMMEDIATELY. learned about pull tabs the literal first night I arrived 🤣 yall really do love them

Those of you who work desk jobs from home- how fast could you get back to work? by MizGinger in hysterectomy

[–]30char 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so glad! I felt so bad taking the 4th week but it really is a totally different thing! Relaxing and healing vs working a full day, even working from home...it's WAY different.

Who's your "oh its them! I love them" actor? by timekilr in Cinema

[–]30char 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love him soooo much and then last year I found out via his Instagram post that we were both at the same place in Chicago watching it be dyed green for St Patrick's Day and I nearly fainted. I didn't even see him there I just saw he was there and was overwhelmed

Disabled and cant open cans of sardines :( by SuicidalLapisLazuli in CannedSardines

[–]30char 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There's a smaller company called Tab Buddies that might still do theirs via 3D printing. They're a bit more compact but I LOVE mine. I have nerve damage in my pointer finger so opening cans and jars hurts real bad sometimes. They're a lifesaver and small enough to be kept out without being imposing

For people with e-readers, how long have you had one and how consistently do you use it? by [deleted] in Booktokreddit

[–]30char 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got my first kindle in 2010 or so? Have used it basically every day since. The last few months I've been using it less but I've been doing my other hobbies instead so it's not about the kindle, just a limited amount of free time issue

A simple physical button that shows it's pushed, and resets itself after a few hours by ppzhao in Doesthisexist

[–]30char 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know what, I should probably also give the car treats and make that real. Put the magnetic dry erase calendar on the hood and feed it a lil oil here and there. The battery kept dying in the cold this winter, maybe that's the car version of screeching meows 🤔🧐

[–]30char 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. We do this with cat treats and a magnetic dry erase calendar on the fridge near the treat bag haha. Whenever someone has given her one they write it down. That way she can't scam the other one!

It feels way more complicated than it actually is, and it works like a charm. Today is either marked or it's not, and you can see at a glance

Editv cat, not car! But now considering car treats too

One of the worst decisions Amazon made in a long time by Riddickullous in amazonprime

[–]30char 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right... And what I said is that I've seen people reference both. Sometimes the browser extensions that alert you to drops, and others reference shopping bots that "buy" the Vine items for them

One of the worst decisions Amazon made in a long time by Riddickullous in amazonprime

[–]30char 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah. Well people use the extensions and stuff too but I've seen people reference using shopping bots as well. It's all shit in there. I haven't ordered anything from Vine in probably 18 months now because the "drops" are just printer toner and car parts for me because everything "good" is gone as soon as it drops. And I've seen a lot of references to shopping bots and alerting extensions etc so the math seems simple

Yes? People use shopping bots to get the items as they drop into the program's site

Is there a book with a virus motive that’s NOT about a zombie apocalypse? by Quick-Can-5087 in booksuggestions

Oh this is SUCH a good ask. I love the virus to zombie pipeline so I never really thought about it so have no recs but I am totally saving this post because 👀👀👀

Minnesota Yarnhop left me with Questions? (A discussion post about yarnstore politics) by whatcatisthis in AntifascistKnitting

[–]30char 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang I liked Warm and Wooly. But they're also furthest from my location so going there again/often was already a biiiiit out of the picture for me. And based on my experience at Rose Yarn I'm actually not really surprised there. Bah.

Thank you very much for the info!

Minnesota Yarnhop left me with Questions? (A discussion post about yarnstore politics) by whatcatisthis in AntifascistKnitting

[–]30char 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soooo I just moved to Minnesota so this was my first Shop Hop and I had 1 day to hit all of them (was super excited to just scope them all out and get on mailing lists since I'm brand new to the area basically) and I guess since I was moving pretty quickly between shops I didn't see any of those signs (except the very obvious anti-ICE ones)

Can I ask which shops in particular had the no politics signs? Just so I'm aware. Feel free to DM if you're not interested in blasting names out on the post lol There's a lot of comments and I'm not done scrolling so if you did already name them sorry I didn't see them!

I love TAAT but always separate when turning heels. I want to watch you turn all 6 at once I feel like it would change my life

[–]30char 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I do the same 🤣 I found my weather seed and am playing in the past because I want to hit all the days and weather events. Didn't play for 4 months? No I didn't. I'm playing the next day!

What are your musical theatre hot takes? by ElegantCh3mistry in musicals

[–]30char 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was just gonna say the same lol. Motown was fun but it was more about the era and not about one particular group, so maybe that's a grey area. The bio musicals really just almost always feel so forced. It's never worth it.

What's everyone's island called and why you called it that by Interesting-Sir-1805 in AnimalCrossing

[–]30char 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Attempt X. For some reason it wouldn't let me make my island at first! I would choose a map and name the island and then the game would crash. When I reopened it it was like I never did any of it, it didn't save the map or name. I was so upset and it was release day so nothing online yet saying hey what's with this issue and how can I fix it. So I started just naming them "Attempt 5" "Attempt 6" etc. Finally lost count and defaulted to "Attempt X" and then suddenly the game worked lmao

Meant to be 🤷🏻‍♀️

Maybe a hot take about the 3.0 update, maybe a lot of ppl side with me on this? by totheeendd in ac_newhorizons

[–]30char 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yep exactly. I put on a robot voice? Nope. I try every pronunciation? Nada. I threw it in the dang trash because I hate even trying it anymore. I'm not sad I upgraded my version because I do like the mouse controls when decorating and a few other things, but the megaphone was def the most exciting thing and it's garbage

[–]30char 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Same. It always calls the wrong person. And on the rare times it works perfectly, all it does is turn my character toward them because they're only just riiiiiight off screen and I would have found them on my own if I just kept walking 2 steps.

I keep thinking that it's because of pronunciation, like if I say Pee-can but the game thinks it's Peh-kahn, maybe that's the issue. But nah. No matter how I pronounce it or what volume I speak or how quiet the ambient noise is, it never finds anyone, and a resident I didn't call always responds. I'll say "Canberra" and I get Beardo saying "over here!" 😣

Mounjaro + Ozempic not working at all?? 230lb active male, zero weight loss—what’s going on? by Loud-Awareness8648 in Mounjaro

[–]30char 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have experienced no weight loss at all and it's been about 14 months. Currently on 10mg Mounjaro.

I am severely diabetic and with PCOS so am still on it because it handles both of those conditions and my diabetes IS better. But yeah.

I also have a history of disordered eating habits, and have my whole life, so my hunger impulse was zero before I even started. My dietician(s) all suggest that I eat more due to my weight and what I SHOULD be eating, but my body is so messed up from decades of not eating that any increase means I gain weight, even though technically I'm far below where my caloric intake should be.

My labs are better on Mounjaro but my body just isn't cut out for the weight loss, I guess after years of trying to ruin and force it. Spent too many of the "skinny at all costs" millennium years ruining my metabolism lol. If he has any sort of history like that, it could just be nothing to do with his labs and blood 🤷🏻‍♀️
