  1. We eating chips and popcorn with chopsticks now.

You're welcome for cleaner fingers and everything you touch with them.

  1. Beer ain't getting served without some sorta pickle.

  2. Pets will be told about foods, walks, and treats in a foreign language as to prevent them getting excited about things they love during normal conversations

  3. More ducks than chickens. Duck eggs are better, duck meat is better, duck fat is better than schmaltz

  4. It's now so wildly normal for men to wear crop tops

You're fucking welcome

  1. You're getting paid for your commute time now. Your employer is covering tolls, transit passes etc.

The foreign language trick doesn't work, turns out dogs can pick up words from various languages

[–] TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 14 hours ago

It's worked historically for me with cats and dogs specifically around food. I don't use it for "stay, sit, halt" commands though since I think it's useful if other people can issue those commands to a dog without knowing, in my house, Yiddish.

funny about #6

I have a interesting job, its all about the work and not so much about the time I spend doing the work even though I am technically an hourly employee.

I leave my house at the same time every day but rarely do I make it to work at the same time. Thats the deal and nobody seems to care if I explain it that way.

I also leverage native time.... I will get to that when I get to it.

And this was how TheAlbatross's Labrador became fluent in Croatian.

I wonder how fast they would start allowing work from home again.

[–] untorquer@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Not that fast really. It's pretty common in europe if you can ride a train and work en route. I've even seen people compensated for driving time & gas.

Chips and popcorn with a spoon

[–] shyguyblue@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)
  1. I love garlic stuffed olives, but have to eat them with chopsticks to slow myself down.

  2. My dogs love Pupperonis (one letter away from pepperoni), but I call them puppereenies so they don't go ape shit when discussing toppings....

Edit: Swipe typing is getting worse every day, fixed auto assumptions...

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I feel like swipe typing worked flawlessly over a decade ago, i don't even bother with it anymore.

[–] shyguyblue@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

"Andrew Garfield nice"!?

How many times do I have to manually enter "nude"!? I wanna see that Andy G, D!

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 2 points 1 day ago

And you've taught your dog to eat Pupperonis with chopsticks?

[–] Opinionhaver@feddit.uk 6 points 1 day ago

Going to be pickle stonks. Get them while hot

[–] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And salads! It's so much easier.

Oh You're so right. I had a salad with sliced chicken breast for lunch today that I ate with chopsticks. Soo much easier

[–] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You fool! I eat chips by pushing the bottom of the bag, then grabbing one with my mouth. No utensils required.

[–] TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That seems messy and bad but you do you

[–] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago

Why would it be messy, the chips enter my mouth anyway, I'm just using the bag itself to hold them
