I have a single alarm set. I came to this after years of pointless snoozing.

If you need to get up at a certain time, get up at that time. If you don’t need to get up at a certain time, just turn off the alarm. Snooze is bullshit, fuck snooze. You gain nothing from snooze. If you really must lay around half conscious in bed, just set an alarm like an hour before the real alarm. I just don’t understand the multiple alarm people. Do you really gain all that much from turning off your alarm 6 times before you actually get up versus an entire hour to chill before the actual alarm?

I hate the sound of the alarm and I absolutely don’t want to hear it, or lay there anticipating it. One annoying ring of the alarm is all it takes, more annoying rings just make a shittier start to the day IMO.

Just about all fat gets digested and converted into sugar

This is not how lipids are metabolized. They are not converted to glucose right off the bat. Fats are broken down to monoglycerides to be absorbed, recombined to triglycerides and eventually chylomicrons, and transported to adipose tissue.

What’s the point of a garbage disposal if you can’t put food in there? You don’t need that to make liquids go down the drain.

We did not negotiate a surrender with the Japanese.

How in the ever loving fuck was Hirohito allowed to stay in power then?

Closing the flapper stops the water in the tank from going into the bowl.

This is completely unnecessary IMO. You stop the water in the tank from going into the bowl by not continuing to flush a clearly clogged toilet. There’s no issue with the flapper in this scenario and it will automatically seal in a few seconds from water pressure.

Just shut the water off.

Right, I am aware of all this. Just shut the water off and go to the plunger steps.

I get that. That’s a totally different scenario than “clogged toilet”.

Those are the only toilets I’m familiar with, at least with regards to maintenance and troubleshooting.

I’ve cleared a lot of clogged shitters, not once have I had to ensure the flapper is down in the reservoir. That’s “why won’t it stop running” not “why won’t I the water go down”.

Why wouldn’t it close normally like it always does? There’s no issue with the reservoir here.

Once you start viewing politics under the same lens as a professional wrestling match it begins to make a lot more sense. Faces and heels switch up every once in awhile to keep us entertained.

They keep getting burned by centralized social media and are poised to do so again with bluesky.

Whenever I try to Select Text, it only pops up a few millimeters at the bottom of the screen. I can pull it up a few more and copy the whole text and work with that, but this isn’t how it used to function. I can no longer see the text and select snippets from there to copy.

Is it possible to transfer favorite communities from an account on one server to another? Say for example I'd like to have an alt with the same favorites on another server for a backup. Is this possible with wefwef or other means?

Looking to get my main off lemmy.world to help load balance, but I don't want to refavorite everything; if I could somehow keep them in sync that would be ideal.
