Were you scrubbing an mfin cheese grater with it? I have not had this problem

They’re decent sponges that last a long time and don’t get smelly very easily, and they’re also cute.

In my experience they’re a bit lacking in abrasive power though.

Much nicer than C, much simpler than C++, much less cruft than both.

This post needs to be somehow tagged as misleading. Too many people are going to accept the headline at face value.

What makes you think this is a millennial thing?

Also why the fuck does it matter?

Lol nice one

To be fair, the Fahrenheit measurement should be pretty intuitive here. Fahrenheit is easy because 0 degrees is “really fucking cold” and 100 degrees is “really fucking hot.” So anything triple-digits should be easily recognizable as “yeah that’s way too fucking hot for a phone.”

This is also why I prefer Fahrenheit to Celsius in general (even though I am an engineer and am not a die-hard patriot or anything like that). It is a more practical scale for everyday usage.

Hate to break it to you (and your superiority complex) but Fahrenheit is also a standard.

and don’t call me Shirley.

You’re probably joking but just to save people some time, it does not actually recommend HTMX. (I remembered seeing this website a while back but didn’t recall anything about HTMX so had to check.)

No thanks, China’s infrastructure is of notoriously bad quality.

Hell yeah, 30% sync users. I’ve always thought Sync was the best reddit client, and now it’s the best Lemmy client.

Yep. Presenting the user with a choice that they don’t fully understand (which instance should I choose? What even is an instance?) is a very big deterrent.

I wouldn’t say the arguments are all wrong and carry zero weight. How are you so sure that these arguments haven’t swayed the majority towards one side or the other? These arguments are happening between actual people (I’ve heard normal people discuss this outside of online communities), possibly shaping their opinions, and could be what’s shaping those 70/80% numbers.

Even though I pronounce it “jif” too, I am tired of seeing arguments that rely on how other words are pronounced. You are not helping the cause, as these arguments are too easily countered. There are much more convincing arguments to be made, such as how “jif” is more practical since it can’t be confused with “gift,” and how the creator was making a reference to the word “jiffy.”

By calling it “jif” I think the creator was referencing “jiffy,” as in “fast.” It’s like a video, but it loads in a jiffy. Or: it’s a short looping video - it’s over in a jiffy then restarts again.

I think people that call it “gif” don’t intuitively get this, even at the subconscious level. If they did, I think they’d prefer “jif.” It’s much more fun IMO. Not to mention that it’s less likely to be mistaken for an existing word (gift). So it’s both more fun and more practical. What else do we have to do to convince you people :(
