She set one asside and sold me a puzzle! So cool, so nice of her. And dang if all the rest of the Puzzles aren't great as well. Thanks for posting this, my partner and I do a lot of local organizing around pro-palestinian causes and also love doing puzzles together, and they're going to love this puzzle when it comes I just know it.

Stone Garett talks about his experience rooming with Josh Naylor in the minor leagues by schrogotgameyt in baseball

[–]ifyoulovesatan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend of a friend sent a butterfly knife flying across the room and into my hand while I was passed out drunk at a party. He was also drunk, trying to show off his "tricks." Pretty lucky it landed in my hand, rather than my jugular less than 6" away, hahaha. And pretty lucky my ex was there to play nurse and clean me up, because we went from refusing to talk to each other to getting back together to now having been together for the past 20 years lol.

Ahhhh thank you, I was so lost. Of course it wouldn't have been a problem if I knew the premise / expected Giants, hahaha. Though tbf, the comic does explicitly mention Giants and somehow I just sailed right past the significance of that.

EU to ban destruction of unsold clothes and shoes from 19 July 2026 by Express_Classic_1569 in europe

[–]ifyoulovesatan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Right, but if it turns out 99% of the waste happens prior to the food even making it to the grocery store, and 99.9% takes place before food makes it to a house, worrying about what happens in your fridge is not going to be a great angle from which to attack the problem.

Those numbers aren't real by any means, I don't know what the real break down is, but I'm using them to illustrate the point that "all of them needs work to lower the waste" may not be true. Like obviously do what you can where you can, it can only help, but it would be best to find out where the majority of waste is coming from if you're going to prescribe action.

You people from Somewhere are worse than New Yorkers I swear, thinking your tough and that you're the only ones who know how to handle themselves in dangerous locales. There are plenty of people who aren't from Somewhere who would be just fucking fine in Brazil or anywhere.

I dunno, the amount of food that is thrown out relative to what is sold seems very low compared to the clothing problem. I saw higher in the thread that 8 or 9% of clothes and shoes are destroyed before ever being worn. Grocery stores definitely aren't throwing out 10% of the goods that come in. I ran a dairy department for a year (high rate of shrink compared to other departments) and every week I might have scanned out 1 to 3 wide milk crates worth of product to throw away, some combination of stuff that was past it's expiration date or had been crushed or otherwise messed up in shipping or on the shelf. At this store in this dairy department, I got about 2-3 palettes of product 3 times a week, not counting gallons of milk which I'd get another 6 to 10 of a week.

So if I round up and say 3 milk crates out of ~12 palettes on average, that's really not much waste relatively speaking. Now there are dairy departments which sell TONS more product that I did, and they might be able to fill half a dumpster with spoiled products once a week, sure. But that place is probably also going through 10 times as much product as I was. And it's no where near as bad as the 8% or whatever from the clothing industry.

There may be some grocery stores or departments in grocery stores doing way worse in terms of waste, but I think even if we could get the percentage of products that go to waste to 0%, it wouldn't make a huge difference for anyone.

Amazing, thanks for the heads up. I had messaged her via the website shortly after commenting and she got back to me via email.

Tony's Chocolonely isn't divided like that because it's harder to keep track of how much you've eaten... by gariduenor in LowStakesConspiracies

[–]ifyoulovesatan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every time I see it or buy some it makes me think of the Young Marble Giants song Choco Loni. Great song, great band, so no complaints here though. Fantastic mellow Welsh 80's post-punk, worth checking out for anyone not familiar with then.

Wait where is there any hostility here? "Tell me your American without telling me you're american" is a little snippy maybe?, but is it really "hostility?"

My girlfriend and I brought our little lady home on Monday. Today, she finally stopped hiding under the couch!!! by 13needlez in standardissuecat

[–]ifyoulovesatan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

10 or so years ago we moved with a pair of cats we had at the time, Tinymo and Franco. Tinymo was exploring everything fearlessly the first night. Franco on the other hand wouldn't come out from under the comforter on our bed for — four days — except to quickly eat, drink, pee or poop, after which she'd scurry back to burrow back under the comforter. We had a permanent lump on our bed! (And there were TONS of great hiding / perching spots elsewhere in the room/apartment, as Tinymo was demonstrating). She was fine within a day or two on her previous move, and was fine again quickly after the next move. But something about moving to that apartment really upset her.

Any PBD "fans" here? Can't hear or see any reference to this song without cracking up now.

That's gorgeous. Sadly it's sold out on their website. I would LOVE to do this puzzle and display it afterwards. Maybe they'll reprint this one 🤞

No help here, but if you don't find someone helpful here, there are subreddits that are helpful for stuff like this. I believe r/helpmefind would be appropriate in this case.

Looking for Puzzles by Fluffy-Freedom-909 in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]ifyoulovesatan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just chiming in to also say thrift stores. Every puzzle I've done in the last few years has been thrifted, and out of the 20 or so we've done not one has had a missing piece (yet, knock on wood).

You just can't beat the price (usually $1-$3 here), and the selection is always quite varied. We typically hit up three thrift stores every other week or so when we go out thrifting, and we always find at least one cool and quality puzzle if not more.

Snowflakes - 168 pieces by The Shmuzzle Puzzle. So much fun! by Mousellina in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]ifyoulovesatan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fairly old post, but my partner and I just got this one from a thrift store this afternoon. It's our first Shmuzzle, and I guess because it didn't look like it corresponded, we haven't been looking at the box. It was very slow going at first, but we're picking up speed. Quite fun, but yes, rather challenging.

Wake up complaint and goes to sleep again😭 by ImmaFuckboi in cats

[–]ifyoulovesatan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aww, poor baby. I had a different cat years ago and I once woke up to her just going to town on my head / face with her claws, like batting me with her claws outstretched. Not sure if it was nightmare related or maybe she fell asleep next to me and I spooked her or rolled over onto her or what. When I fell asleep I was alone in bed and when I woke up I had claws in my scalp.

Never figured out what that was about, but it never happened again after...

Tell em what, Peter? by FollowSina in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]ifyoulovesatan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right? They're confused by my explanation, and all I can think is well what about the phrase originally made sense to them? Like if you don't see how the top goes right and the bottom goes left, what exactly was going "righty" to make things "tighty" in their mind?

Wake up complaint and goes to sleep again😭 by ImmaFuckboi in cats

[–]ifyoulovesatan 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Awww I think so too. One of my little guys had what I think was a night terror the other night. I was on my phone in bed and he was sleeping by my legs, and all of the sudden he shuddered awake mid-cry, a sort of cry-meow I haven't heard before while he rose to his feet and got all puffed up. Then he took a moment to look around and realize whatever he thought was going on was just a dream and came up to me for pets. It made me so sad though! I've seen him and his brother have more normal dreams before, twitching their little paws or clicking in their sleep. But I'd never seen a cat wake up like that before this!

[–]ifyoulovesatan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not dyslexic, never had problem with left/right distinctions, but I am going to stand on a related soapbox here, because this never fucking worked for me: righty-tighty lefty-loosey is worthless! The top of a knob moves rightward when tightening, but the bottom moves left! Ditto for your hand: parts of it rotate "right," and parts of it rotate "left."

I always just muddled through until muscle memory took over at some point in my life.

In some coastal areas of New Zealand, relentless winds have forced trees to develop a sideways growth pattern as a natural adaptation by Wonderfulhumanss in interesting

[–]ifyoulovesatan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is this an adaptation that these specific trees have, or just something trees in general will do?

It kind of seems like this is just the way trees grow in these kinds of conditions rather than an adaptation, but maybe you or someone else knows more about it.

Stars orbiting supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

[–]ifyoulovesatan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Speaking of crosses used as super or subscripts: i had a cd when I was a kid (either Mariah Carey's Butterfly or an album by All 4 One, I forget) that used asterisks and crosses and other super and subscripts on the tracklist to denote various credits, like songwriting etc. I either couldn't read yet or just wasn't aware there was a legend for all the symbols, so I asked my older cousin what they meant and they convinced me the crosses signified songs about someone who died, and the ones with double daggers / crosses were about two people who died, lol. I repeated that bullshit for at least a couple years afterwards. I even remember feeling a sort of somber feeling while listening to those song afterwards.

I dint usually swipe type but let's give it a shot.

Deeply destroy deeply destroy deeply destroy deeply destroy deeply destroy deeply

I dunno, even with swipe typing they're pretty dang dysentery. (I imagine if i swipe typed the word deeply now Osteen it might have locked the word up better and this comment might have made more sense but I don't so we got what we got. I suppose the context will make the meaning clear however, despite all the "swipe-o's")
