Hello, my name is Cris. :)

I like being nice to people on the internet and looking at cool art stuff

  • We can't even pump fuel anymore without holding a digital billboard (Netherlands)

    Jump

  • While I feel theres a slight difference between a lit cigarette while operating a gas pump, and the possible spark from breaking the diaphragm in a low voltage speaker behind grates in the pump body- you know what fair enough. Usually when I see or participate in folks talking about electricity dangers online its folks who have no clue what theyre talking about.

    A couple of months ago I was in an argument with folks on lemmy who thought if you put a nine volt battery against your nipple it'd electrocute you. At one point I went and grabbed a nine volt to take a picture of literally pressed against my skin just to prove my point 😅. A lot of folks seem to mythologize electricity and its dangers, sometimes it even seems to come from folks claiming to have electrical work backgrounds or engineering degrees

    Regardless, hope you have a good day, take care :)

    I can't get to the store very often for medical reasons so I'd been looking for ways to eat more fresh veg that dont go bad immediately. I'll have to check out some of the recipes mentioned

  • I do like their idea of salads that dont just use delicate leafy stuff. Does feel like an odd subject to write a whole article about though, but no reason not to of you're an article writer I suppose lol

    I have limited ability to get to the store regularly so more salads with ingredients that dont go bad immediately would be really nice, I'll have to check out some of the recipes they mention

  • Open Source | Gamified Language Learning (Chinese Mandarin) | Web-App | No Sign-up Required

    Jump

  • This is cool as fuck, thanks for sharing! I neither code nor am learning mandarin, but I hope you get some more folks involved who can contribute too :)

    It might require posting places other than the fediverse though, I'm not sure this is a wide enough net to find folks who can get involved

    Anyone know if there are any good places online to share foss projects you're hoping to build with more people?

  • This country taxes menstrual pads as luxury goods. She's aiming to end the tax

    Jump

  • they ask their daughters to pretend to pray so that the men in the family, especially the husband or the brothers of that child, won't know that she is of fertile age now. Because as soon as they know that the girl has started menstruating, they're going to pull her out of the school, if she goes there, and they're going to marry her off to a man double or thrice her age. And that is something we have seen so often. It just breaks my heart. Mothers are usually very helpless in these situations. The link to child marriage contributes to the secrecy around periods and makes it an extremely isolating experience.

    As a guy I hadn't really made that connection to how menstruation would become so stigmatized. Thats gutwrenching...

  • Oregon House Republicans test rule barring political donations during session

    Jump

  • Anyone else find that headline really confusing? To me that makes it sound like they're trailing new policy, not testing if they can get away with ignoring policy currently in place 😅

  • socializing rule

  • $20 says they're down bad for potato salad man

  • Thats a fucking work of art

  • Knocker-up (people employed before alarm clocks to wake people up for work)

    Jump

  • Yeah, I have a circadian rhythm disorder and my first thought was "oh, somrthing I might actually be able to do!". But then again I also have ADHD and no internal sense of time so it'd be hard to show up at the right time 😅

  • If you're not already connected to local organizing efforts where you are, start looking for ways to change that. Look up if there are any mutual aid hubs around you, go to protests and ask around, try to get involved with food not bombs and see if you can get linked in with more efforts, figure out whos organizing ice watch in your area and do their training

    Any efforts to protect our futures and our neighbors will happen through local organizing where YOU are. If you want a democracy, this chapter of history seems to demand that we work for it; start getting connected.

  • Trump prepares to rig—or cancel—the 2026 elections

    Jump

  • For folks connected to local organizing- building community groups to go to the polls with folks who may be victimized by this process seems like a potential starting point, not sure what better solutions may look like

    Edit: just learned about polling volunteers, and poll observers, you should be able to look up how to do training for those for your state if yoy want a way to get involved

  • Best retro-styled/Frutiger Aero/Y2K/Aqua clients?

    Jump

  • If you're knowledgable about CSS you could use the Stylish extension to customize websites, but given frutiger aero's aesthetic, you'd probably have to add a bunch of images for ui elements, so I wouldn't neccisarily expect it to be easy

    Short of customizing stuff yourself, I think thats a really niche styling to be looking for, for already niche platforms. If you wanna check for other people's CSS creations you can go to the userstyles.world site, or the older and I think now defunct userstyles.org, and search for mastodon, or any other sites you wanna check out themes for. There may not be many, customizing your websites with CSS stylesheets isn't exactly a huge hobby, so the most themes are available for sites everyone uses (YouTube, Wikipedia, google, etc.). Any themes there you find could be used with the stylish extension, though it may require some extra work from the older site

    As someone else who enjoys the y2k retro aesthetic, I hope you find something you enjoy :)

  • I didn't mean for everything, I meant if crypto could ever fix its shit it could be a useful tool for folks affected by the issues with payment processors

    But it would have to be stable in value, not suck for making transactions, and not be wildly wasteful

  • I hate my "true" voice (as in voice recordings). Do you like your own voice?
