It was when I tripped and fell over outside my house. The next day my neighbour said, "I hear you had a Fall."

Yes, when you're old you don't fall over, you "have a Fall". Everyone hearing about your Fall will make concerned noises. (I was perfectly fine! I'm not OLD old!)

what do you call a bell pepper

Capsicum. Or red/green/yellow pepper.

Do obnoxious stuff for "librul tears".

Cry like a baby when people do obnoxious stuff back.

Britain's favourite crisp flavour. Here, you're weird for not liking them.

In the staff fridge at work someone used to label their milk as "breast milk" and people would go eeeww. Like it was snot or something. But from a cow's breasts? Fine! So weird.

Catnip is their feel-good plant of choice. I planted some once and the local cats went wild for it. Killed it dead and then rolled around on the corpse.

Presumably the farmers got paid for these surplus crops. And if USAID is dismantled, there'll be no-one buying the coming season's surplus. Lots of farmers must be feeling nervous. Shipping and port companies will also be hit.

It's like when firms lay off workers to save money: those people are also customers, who now don't have money for new furniture, restaurant meals, a new car, whatever. There's a ripple effect from "saving money".

Sock blankets (sh.itjust.works)
 

Thrilled to have found a Lemmy knitting group! I'm a sock obsessive, I just love knitting socks, so I've ended up with an staggering amount of "scrap" yarn. The solution - blankets. This is my second Cosiest Memories project and this time I have a Plan. The first one was truly random, with lots of placement errors. When it was finished I did a dark icord edge, and suddenly it was smart!

So for the second one I'm adding an inner border of that same colour and (eventually) will finish with icord. I might even knit some more socks!

I'm a Reddit refugee and in all the years I was there I never made a single post. I'm very much enjoying the Fediverse, especially Lemmy, and thought I'd share my happy place with you all.
