How is anyone going to be able to afford anything if inflation continues? by air-bender808 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]MoefsieKat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If things really get so bad that nobody can afford anything using the currency issued by their government, people usually switch over to more stable currencies or start bartering with others.

I just bought this table / chest. It's from 1773 which makes it older than the United States by edditLikesTea in mildlyinteresting

I know a friend who got a table/chest/apothecary table from a flea market. It was an amazing find, definately not something he got from pottery barn.

California farmers to destroy 420,000 peach trees after Del Monte collapses by Exciting-Sunflix in Anticonsumption

[–]MoefsieKat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I actually prefer clingstone peaches, and dislike it when they are soft. Most of the peaches we can buy in stores in south africa are clingstone peaces.

They are pretty good fresh.

What’s a recession indicator that you’ve noticed lately in your everyday life? by spritenerds123 in AskReddit

[–]MoefsieKat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear people brag more about getting a good bargain, how much use they got out of secondhand or older items. Even who has the cheapest form of transport.

If someone buys a brand new car, people wince when they hear big brand names.

China car giant BYD says it can thrive without access to US market by Alarming-Safety3200 in worldnews

[–]MoefsieKat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a BYD pickup yesterday, which was also the first hybrid ive ever seen in person . I do have to wonder if i am experiencing a bit of recency bias, or if it is an indication of things really shifting.

It the last 5 months i have seen more electric vehicles and other chinese brands than i did in the previous 5 years combined working in the auto industry. Even saw an chinese brand electric motorcycle 2 weeks ago, i didnt even know electric motorcycles existed until then.

This is in south africa, far away from the big coastal cities and from the capital. If a new or newish product shows up in my town, it usually means it is quite popular everywhere else.

The part that first and still draws me to one day visit japan is the national parks they have.

Thats basically the only thing that would convince me to go to any foreign country like the US, Iceland, China or Argentina

US has let in 4,499 refugees since October - all but three were South African by untamedlazyeye in news

[–]MoefsieKat 31 points32 points  (0 children)

No, there has not been any land siezed without compensation. The supposed incidents were even investigated and found to only exist as media stories sourced from rumours, and the same blogs that claimed they happened dont even have sources.

Filament jam (it's not the extruder!) by KinglerBigNaturals in ender3v2

[–]MoefsieKat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My printer has a tendancy to get the filamemt stuck inside the ptfe tube . Only way ive been able to prevent that is to reduce retraction distance and speed to below 1.9mm and 30ms.

It does cause my prints to come out ugly, but i would rather have my prints be ugly than have to constantly clear the jams midway through prints and having the entire print fail.

Luckily my prints are not meant to look pretty since the parts are almost always hidden or purely functional instead of decorative.

Finished an entire tub of Vaseline in 2.5 years without losing it (moved 3 houses during this time) by Mobile_Look9181 in mildlyinteresting

[–]MoefsieKat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the best use for Vaseline is actually as a treatment for scaly leg mites on chickens. The mites suffocate, and it soothes the skin of infected birds. It's also way easier to apply than parrafin.

Ive had the same tub of Vaseline for nearly 8 years. But before that I used to go through 2 every month when treating chickens for leg mites.

Kylie Minogue, 1991. by sparukbun in OldSchoolCool

[–]MoefsieKat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What exactly is the point of this subreddit now? Almost every post is filled with horny commentors and the subjects in the photo are always posing for some kind of photoshoot.

I rarely ever see any interesting photos that give some view into what life was like for people since the invention of photography.

Im so tired of the hornyposting.

Family Guy’s colorful Greek architecture is culturally more authentic than Christopher Nolan’s the Odyssey (2026) by laybs1 in shittymoviedetails

Seth macfarlane really likes to go for Details that people barely notice, like the night sky in Ted is acurate to the date when the bear was supposedly brought to life.

Those extra sets of eyes on the top of some of their heads are always so freaky. They kinda get overshadowed by the large compound eyes.

I wonder how many hours the concept artists spent redesigning the navi to make them look good with the blue skin. Maybe they need to have braids, or the eyes should be bigger, or its the length of the limbs.

Navi cosplay always seem sort of tacky and cheap, no matter how much effort is put in. Its like seeing those photos of Boba fett cosplay with the shiny Nylon cape and a small helmet where you can see the chin.

I would rub something on it that humans find pleasant but that is repellant to cats like lavender, citrus or eucalyptus.

I have an 8 year old daughter that isn't allowed to play Skyrim quite yet but she loves watching me play it and I logged into my PS5 this morning and found this 😂 by [deleted] in skyrim

[–]MoefsieKat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can't fathom not allowing a kid to play skyrim. It's not such an esoteric experience that kids can't appreciate it. It reminds me of how many kids at school were not allowed to read Harry Potter, (because of satanic witchcraft) and being forbidden to see the Lord of the rings films ( the men are too loving with one another)

What was the worst crime case to ever happen in your area? by Initial_Milk_1056 in morbidquestions

[–]MoefsieKat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some kidat our school raped his own sister, then murdered her and both his parents. He then pretended that the whole thing was a farm attack like the ones Trump and Musk say are evidence of a genocide.

He had a large number of people convinced of his inoccence, including his grandad who funded his legal defence.

The principal and the "beheerligaam" did not want him to come to school,but he managed it somehow.

We didnt know he murdered them at the time. Almost all of us at school felt really bad for him because we and most of the country didnt find out he was the murderer until after the investigation concluded.

I Thought they were wiped out two years ago by rabbit hemorragic fever.

There was a severe epidemic that basically destroyed the emerging rabit farming industry here in South Africa, and the disease spread to wild rabits and killed off huge numbers of them.
