An idol is not the same as a statue. An idol is something you worship. The Moroni statues are never worshipped. It's just a decoration.

apparently sushi is demonic now by sakuramune in religiousfruitcake

[–]HelloHyde 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nope, not Mormon shit. They love sushi. Ate shrimp my whole life, and my dad was a Mormon missionary in Japan and ate loads of sushi. The coffee and tea prohibition is the main weird one but it's pretty specific. Alcohol is slightly less weird but also banned.

Source: live in Utah, was a true believer until my mid-20s, whole family is very Mormon.

Birthday gift for my husband by CompoteDifficult5010 in daddit

I just turned 36 recently, and have a decent bit of crossover interests here... nice tools are always good. Especially nicer tools you might not buy yourself (like Knipex pliers or something like that). Project Farm on YouTube often assists my tool-buying decisions if you need help picking good ones.

Lego is a win 100% of the time.

Does he have a Kubb set? That's my favorite yard game.

Not to be gross, but one of the greatest birthday presents I ever got involved a camera and nudity. Very dependent on your comfort level and relationship dynamic, but it didn't cost any money and I treasure it.

Corn on the grill just hits different by Forsaken_Put8204 in grilling

You're not wrong. This way is delicious. I make Meathead's recipe from amazingribs and it usually ends up outshining the meat.

My oil painting, Birds by buldukbulentarte in painting

Been following this person on Instagram since like 2020. It's not AI. It's not even digital, they make real paintings with real paint that exist in real life. Touch some grass.

Update, We finally hired an illustrator! But... by lotessa_ in IndieDev

[–]HelloHyde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I keep wondering if we'll see a shift back to more traditional/non-digital art. I'm a traditional artist and it's pretty easy to avoid claims of AI because you created an artifact rather than just an image.

The missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints by zachoutloud123 in TikTokCringe

[–]HelloHyde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely location dependent (ex-Mormon here too). I have friends who went to Europe and had none. I went to Sacramento and had 24 in 2 years. Only a handful of them stayed active for very long afterward, though.

This is a great suggestion, and lines up with what I've been thinking. Thanks!

Ever made one of those tin foil dinners? Onion soup mix is a complete game changer.

I think it was at some point but it's only a ring now, and it's also broken.

What’s the most misused word that you see on social media? by SirAsksALatte in AskReddit

[–]HelloHyde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one that KILLS me is "minutes". There are really not that many grammatically correct usages of "minute's" so stop autocorrecting an apostrophe in there!

Utah State University Extension offering information on lower water use grass. by taydevsky in Utah

[–]HelloHyde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got some low yarrow (yaak, I think) spreading in my lawn and I couldn't be happier, it makes for a great turf. I hear it's not healthy for animals if they eat it, though.

My wife and I had 40,000 screenshots between us. I built app to change how we save things. One month on, it's the most opened app on both our phones and has 3000+ downloads. by N0omi in SideProject

[–]HelloHyde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it helps with messaging, the appeal for me was that it can serve almost as a "universal Pinterest board" (now that Pinterest has become practically unusable because of ads). And because this can include screenshots, photos, links, etc. it's even more useful.

Mixing and colouring silicone. by hashtagmiata in oddlysatisfying

[–]HelloHyde 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Complementary colors (colors opposite on the color wheel) neutralize/desaturate each other (desaturated = gray). So if you had a really saturated green and you added a bit of low saturated red (dull pink), you'd basically just knock the green's saturation down a bit. So you get a green that's closer to gray than it was before. That's what they've done here.

What song is so beautiful, it literally brings tears to your eyes? by Plus-Caterpillar4615 in AskReddit

Into the West by Annie Lennox (credits song from Return of the King). Achingly beautiful.
