In all that is wrong with recycling to begin with, do I even need to put cardboard and paper into recycling; or does it just break down easily in all the garbage?
  • I don't know much but I've heard that landfills are so dense and thick that there is not enough oxygen to break down organic matter like did waste. I don't know for sure about that and I don't know how it applies to cardboard but that's what I've heard and read and seen videos about.

    I hope someone with more knowledge could give a better informed comment.

  • Where are the best sites/things to find english manga books?
  • If you're a real nerd about it and can get in BakaBt has crazy big full books. Manga and light novels. We're taking Gigabytes for single volumes.... They look very nice though.

    Otherwise Tachiyomi is great and usually the stuff online is high enough quality to satisfy me and had kept me from running my own Ubookquity server.

  • Does anyone actually enjoy working out?
  • I hate being in a gym, all those people around, not being able to see outside, stationary...yuck.

    I picked up cycling and try and ride my bike frequently. I used to be much more into it, but that was also as a stoner kid and it was a great way to get out some energy before work and calm down after work.

    Now it's more of an effort but I like to reward myself with a beer and some food. I try to ride about 14 miles every other day. It takes an hour or two at my pace but I can spend that time thinking, listening to music or a podcast. It can be really meditative and it feels good to have my muscles tired.

  • or the brown-throated sloth
  • No no no, they are fuzzy little stoner bunnies! Viscacha wake up, get some food and then sit in the sun and take a nap. They are fabulous and everyone should aspire to be like the viscacha!

  • App for lemmy that is like Relay for reddit
  • Another former Relay user here. I am using mostly WefWef on my phone. It's not perfect, in many ways but it feels pretty good all around. If that's not working or something else is going on I typically look at Jerboa, Connect, Thunder, then Summit. In that order. I just don't know what to do otherwise.

    There is nothing to really fill the gap left by Relay, not yet, but I'm finding WefWef to have most of the features that I am looking for and to be the most stable and usable.

  • threads is already going great 💀
  • It was a case of: Lemmy.ml isn't accepting new users atm BeeHaw requires me to tell them why I'm a good user So does this other instance... Why do I have to justify myself!? Hey, Lemmy.world let's me just sign up! Perfect!

    And that was how I chose an instance. Thank you for joining story got with Valek

  • What Android app should I use to browse Lemmy?
  • Sorry, I didn't see this reply until now. I mean the button for whatever the post is linking to. Pictures, other communities, or external links. I'm right handed and the button is on the left. This makes it a big reach for my thumb to reach across my screen and I'm less likely to click on things or use your app because of it. I know it's a small complaint but it's all about feel, especially when it comes to apps, that's why reddit had so many!

  • How much does my display name bother you?
  • It does not say kolanaki. It says kolanak. Also yes, it actually bothers me more than it should and even more so now that you point it out.

    I couldn't comment through Jerboa and had to come over to Thunder where I am grateful to report you are in fact PillowTalk420.

    I mistyped and couldn't edit it in Thunder or Jerboa or Summit. So I had to use Liftoff to edit this comment.

  • My Analysis of the Switch in mid-2023 (Long Post)
  • I just want a Nintendo Switch Advanced.

    They have their Gameboy and a Gameboy mini, the OLED Switch was the Gameboy Color. Now we need our Advanced. Backwards compatible, but bringing in some new features and higher specs. No need to reinvent the wheel, just iterate for a generation and give devs more power to play with.

  • What are these “finial” looking things mounted to the roof area of homes on the East Coast [SOLVED]
  • They are ice and snow catcher things. They come in different forms, sometimes bars and these new versions in your picture. They hold the snow and ice in place during the winter.

    Ice and snow will build up and weigh a ton, sometimes literally, and that weight falling on someone could easily kill them. With this system you are far less likely to have the entire sheet come down and it lets the cold stuff melt on the roof instead on people's heads.

  • What Android app should I use to browse Lemmy?
  • I'm replying on Connect for Lemmy. I just looked at your app and it's super dope but I've got to say the one thing that throws me off is the button for the link is on the far side from my finger. I also like swiping to reply and vote and nonsense like that and your app doesn't have it.

    Take your time however and implement things well and I'll keep it in mind. My favorite app for Reddit was Relay I think I will be looking for an app until I get something similar or exactly the same.

    List mode ftw

  • Lemmy's total users exceeds 740k today, up from 540k yesterday
  • I keep seeing new communities daily and we're already the size of a decent city and much larger than the city I grew up in. We had all types from punks to queer kids to commies and fascists. We've got enough users to fill any niche I can think of and probably a lot more. And we're still growing, I don't remember reddit when it was this young, but there's a bit of an early 4chan (minus all the racism and homophobia and hate) vibe going on that I totally dig!
