Obi@sopuli.xyzto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What seemingly backwards solutions have worked for you in life?8·6 days agoI grew up in Asia and had a chipped playstation 1 as a kid. It allowed it to read copies, was pretty standard stuff over there the copies could be found in legit stores and everything.
Anyway it started struggling to read the CDs. We figured out if we turned it upside down, it would be able to read them no problem. I suspect it was gravity making the lens come a bit closer to the CDs but don’t know for sure.
It was certainly funny having it upside down, worked a charm.
I want to hang a picture of it in my house so when guests compliment me on it I can say “Oh you like it? Me too. It’s a picture of Uranus”
Obi@sopuli.xyzto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you support the Fediverse financially? If so how do you distribute contributions between Client/Instance/Platform?8·7 days agoI donate monthly to my instance.
Obi@sopuli.xyzto Europe@feddit.org•Nine in 10 French supermarkets still selling alcohol to underage customersEnglish2·7 days agoDid it change? I think it was 14 or 15 when I was that age.
If it could, it would.
That bar definitely cost them more than if it had the wafer in. The chocolate has to be the most expensive part.
Obi@sopuli.xyzto Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•Peanut butter with strawberry jelly is better than peanut butter with grape jellyEnglish3·7 days agoYes, I’m a European who’s been enlightened about PB&J by my Canadian partner but I too much prefer it with Raspberry jam. Or what we call “fruits of the forest”, also red fruits.
I tried it with an apricot/passion fruit one the other day and it was surprisingly nice. We don’t really have grape jam here afaik.
Our PB is also a bit different though, it’s literally just crushed peanuts (100% ingredient).
Obi@sopuli.xyzto Wholesome@reddthat.com•I love this idea! Anyone see anything similar IRL?1·7 days agoLmao what an accurate description.
Obi@sopuli.xyzto Everyday Carry. What essentials do you carry on a daily basis?@sopuli.xyz•Bracelet: 10 Yards of Kevlar CordEnglish1·7 days agoOk, so pull to easily unravel, that’s cool, but what about when you’re done then it’s surely a doozy to put it back in bracelet form, no?
Obi@sopuli.xyzto World News@lemmy.world•France charges 18-year-old for planning attacks in first 'Incel' terrorism caseEnglish1·7 days agoIt’s basically the translation to teenager, so up to 20, over 20 they could still be called “grand ado” (big teen) if they’re still not really mature.
Obi@sopuli.xyzto Electric Vehicles@slrpnk.net•Aito's next EV to introduce sodium-ion battery with sub-10 min charging time3·7 days agoAlso the Fords we get in Europe are completely different from the ones in the US, the two branches are almost completely separate. Different models, not produced in the same place, etc etc.
Never had that but doesn’t seem sketchy sanitary-wise, we can eat our eggs raw here without risk, the salmon would of course need to be sushi-grade. I do question the combination of flavours though, I love egg yolk and I love raw salmon, but together I’m not sure, I’d have to try it…
Obi@sopuli.xyzto Biscuits@feddit.uk•Biscuit Museum forced to pull Jaffa Cake exhibit after backlash from McVitie’sEnglish3·7 days agoIt’s honestly probably because the word is trending in general at the moment. I don’t actually know if predictive text uses live update like this but wouldn’t be surprised.
Obi@sopuli.xyzto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•We really don't want to talk about our problems1·8 days agoI think it’s not quite the same if you decided it, and can leave or connect to the internet at any moment.
Obi@sopuli.xyzto News@lemmy.world•Lorde’s new CD is so transparent that stereos can’t even read it6·8 days agoYeah all this does is make the collector value go higher.
I think they were exaggerating for comedic effect. I hope…
