I just want to point out that the box he is holding... well it's not a dozen eggs. That's more like.. 30 eggs? or something. 5 rows times 6 rows, if my eyes aren't deceiving me. No idea how many eggs are in all those boxes behind the price tags, of course, but still. Saying a dozen when you're holding two-dozen or more is also a lie. :p
Edit: or is it 6 x 6 rows? That's 3 dozen eggs he's holding. Edit2: not sure why the downvote. I'm not making it up, you can see him holding the box.
Oh, right. I completely understand. Shopping sucks. I always order everything online too, because I hate shopping. But I've just never needed Amazon for it. Pretty much every store delivers and if you don't want to pay for delivery, you can just order and pick up at the store. This way you don't have to physically 'shop around' and you don't run the risk of something being sold out. Kinda like take-out.
Absolutely not against ordering stuff online, it's a time-saver. It's just.. Amazon in particular. I prefer not condoning their terrible employee treatment.
Same here. Never ordered anything off Amazon. Not sure about the U.S., but I've never had trouble finding anything in other places, so I never had to resort to Amazon. Maybe certain things are harder to get in the U.S. except on Amazon? Some kind of monopoly thing?
I'll tell you what I told the previous commenter: They were not all runner-ups, that's misinformation. The assassinations were not presidential candidates. They were local politicians, running for mayoral or council seats.
Which is also disgusting, of course, but no, the cartels did not kill off all her competition to get her into office.
They were not all runner-ups, you're falling for misinformation bullshit (and stop upvoting misinformation, people!). The assassinations were not presidential candidates. They were local politicians, running for mayoral or council seats.
Which is absolutely fucking horrifying in and of itself, don't get me wrong, but what you're saying is just not true.
This is true. I imagine that after a while 'dominant' communities will surface, just like they did on reddit, where it was quite fragmented in the beginning. But until then, I believe some devs were working on something like multireddit and I imagine (some) apps will do this too. There is at least one Firefox extension that does multilemmy, called Mullem.
In case you're curious, there are many apps already available across platforms, and more in development. You can see the entire list here: https://lemmy.world/post/465785
You only really need one account on one instance. Except in cases of defederation you can read, comment, post and join communities on other instances from the same account.
Basically the choice is yours to find an instance with the rules you're comfortable with and make an account there. Every instance admin can moderate the way they want -- which of course could lead to some consequences, for example: lemmy.world defederated from 'exploding heads' because it was a right-wing racist cesspool. But even then, anyone who enjoys that can just move there. :p
Edit: If you go to Communities (at the top) and use the 'All' tab, you can find communities across all instances and subscribe to them easily. :)
Edit2: Been trying to explain it to friends, haha. But I suck at explaining things. :D So.. Every instance is basically the equivalent of reddit, except in this case there are numerous reddits with their own admins and rulles, and they're all linked (unless defederated). Every instance has numerous communities (subreddit equivalents). You only need an account on one instance to enjoy them all (again: unless defederated but in that case you could, if you really wanted to, just make an account there as well).
Using Jerboa right now, but to be frank: I haven't tried any other apps, because I am actually waiting for Slide, so whenever that launches I'll switch.
I responded to a post that took a bunch of price tags and calculated an average price of $4,10 for a dozen eggs. I pointed out that we can't even see how many eggs are in each of those boxes behind the price tags, so the conclusion that a dozen eggs cost on average $4,10 is bullshit (and I used Vance himself holding a box of 3 dozen eggs as proof, because it shows that obviously not all those boxes hold only a dozen eggs). Simple math would show that when you put any of those price tags on a box of 3 dozen eggs, the average price of a dozen eggs goes down significantly.
And you can hold off on the weird insults. I don't even really care. Not American, I have no horse in this race. Just wanted to point out that the average price conclusion was wrong.
