Reading comments on Lemmy / Reddit mostly. I’m not looking for the top voted answer but rather the points that people mention and considering what’s important to me. If possible I also check with friends that might have purchased something similar

Overtime I’ll use Reddit less and less, given that they’re now actively telling businesses to take advantage of that effect. Old comments are still ok, but new comments are all suspect

What a mess.

I started using this recently and it seems to work pretty well. I’d love to know more about how they pick out the topics

Makes me think of this classic:

Instead of our, they use are as if they forgot the word our exists.

I’m not sure if I’ve seen this, is this about the pronunciation?

Lol the diagram

I miss this format

I’m not sure if this counts, but I’ve enjoyed some pieces from The Conversation. They’re detailed and written by someone who has experience in the subject

Now that they mention it, I would like step-by-step instructions on how a Fierce Burrito is made

I think it’s just for comments?

I’ve been wanting the same for posts for some time now

I agree and went back and forth on whether I should manually edit the thumbnail in the post. The DeArrow project is cool for replacing clickbait thumbnails, but I didn’t see an easy way to paste a link and get the alternate thumbnail.

The video itself seemed decent and informative for people unfamiliar with Canadian history. As for potentially interesting things it mentioned

Why it has a lower population:

• before the bridge in 1997, it was hard to access
• economy was based around farming and shipbuilding, with fewer natural resources to extract, which didn’t support faster population growth from immigration and investments

Why people settled there:

• large coastline with relatively warmer waters, which made it comfortable than nearby provinces
• the soil was good for farming, specifically potatoes, producing 1/4 of Canada’s potatoes and historically being an important province for food security

Why it is its own province:

• being an island made it geographically distinct and the people living there valued self governance and independence compared to nearby provinces
• eventually due to debts and other economic reasons, it joined the rest of Canada to relieve the financial strains, on the condition that it remains a separate province

Then the video talks about what advantages this history provides, and some other fun facts

Thanks :)

No problem!

It’s hard to tell what the community is about from just the name alone

You could try posting in !mechanicalkeyboards@lemmy.ml as well!

For sure! Sorry for the delay, I wanted to sit down at a computer to make the changes properly and check over all the links, and then kept procrastinating.

They should be updated now, thank you for making those!

St. John’s Wort
