Probably because it’s the defacto messaging app in the UK and nobody probably questioned it.

How effective would it be to sprinkle CEO dust into the sky?

A book shop isn’t a library.

I don’t get what you mean by this. Customers can go into both looking for something specific or seek out a particular author. If there’s no logical ordering how can customers find what they’re looking for?

I’ve never seen ham look like that before, it’s fucking huge! I’ve not even seen ham even close to a quarter of that size.

55.65% tariff on Chinese furniture sliding rail parts

This is oddly specific, both the value and the items…

This is essentially what happened with ukip and Brexit in the UK. It took a while for the movement to gain traction but it did eventually start to put pressure on the government at the time.

The only issue is if that you’ll no doubt need rich backers to gain influence… But that might be a bit of an issue if your entire platform is to shit on the same people who you need.

It’s not illegal in the UK, although it used to be over 60 years ago. But yeah, people who survived the attempt could have gone to prison.

It’s now at 112.6 against the US Dollar, dropped significantly since opening this morning.

Dear Mr Putin,

Please don’t TARGET BLACKPOOL. It would be a huge waste of a missile as there isn’t any SECRET GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS IN BLACKPOOL. Let me be clear, we’ll respond with a strongly worded letter if you AIM FOR BLACKPOOL. It will cost us tens of pounds to repair the damage, and we simply haven’t got enough money left after giving billions to various government contractors.

Kind regards, Someone that has been to Blackpool

The paper will still sell the spaces as advertising regardless of whether it’s an advert of a public announcement from the government, so advertising is probably right.

“Uncritical support for brave socialist comrades giving their lives in defeating Nazis and NATO” or something on those lines

Why did they write “to” as 2, but then the actual number 1 as “one”?

This is one of my all time favourites, it never fails to make me laugh!

Such people aren’t fans of the sport, they go primarilly to cause trouble in a group.

I think that’s football fans in general to be honest.

It’s a noble goal don’t get me wrong, but cars are just way too convenient to get rid of for most that don’t live in the central zones of cities. Just things like taking your kid to their swimming lessons, evening activities, going to the tip and garden centre and dropping off at your parents en route, visiting friends that are several villages away, kids birthday party and then going to the supermarket after to pick up some food etc.

Something I’ve noticed is that people on Lemmy never seem to advocate for busses, it’s always trains.

As much as people on Lemmy love trains, they’re not replacing cars no matter how good the infrastructure is.

Trains are already electrified.

You’re supposed to stop using the mouse while it is charging, and use the mouse unplugged.

Why? Says who? There’s been a few times where I’ve booted my work laptop up in the morning and my mouse is dead and I’ve had to plug it in. Once it’s charged I unplug it. What’s the harm in that? I’d be way more furstrated if I had to open up my laptop (I keep it closed with an external monitor) and use the trackpad instead.

I get that, but it doesn’t really make sense with a mouse as I pretty much never see the front of it as it’s always ahead of me. The only person who would see it would be if someone were to be sat opposite.
