Yep

1 - Squeeze paste into mouth so you can sense exactly how much you’re using. 2 - Wet toothbrush (because everyone knows that magically removes anything nasty in the bristles). 3 - Put in mouth and spread paste around and only then switch toothbrush on. 4 - Divide mouth into 8 segments and brush 2 segments at a time till the brush signals 30 second mark. 5 - Get really bored at how long this is taking. 6 - Either tough it out to the 4 stop/starts signalling the end of 2 minutes or give up half way through and brush everything really hard for 5 seconds.

It’s like some switch is just flicked off. I’ve had it happen mid bite! Nom nom… click… done with this forever.

This is so accurate. I also get the feeling that the memory is removed even faster if I cared in any way about it.

Oh, a couple of nights ago I saw this YT short about how you can just scrunch up some tinfoil and rub it on your metal taps and shower heads and it removes all the limescale. Tried it immediately and it worked! However, then everything went blurry and in a fever dream state I cleaned my whole house till 3:30am…

If you have half a brain

Maybe it’s my age (its definitely my age) but although I used to think Neuschwanstein was magical, now I just think of all the steps you must have to climb to get to anywhere in there.

Thanks for that. It’s only a big deal for me to switch because Windows is all I’ve ever known so there’s some ingrained inertia there. I am genuinely curious though.

I can’t believe I’m asking this but why?

Nice 🙂

That’s less useful thank you 🤣

That’s really useful thank you 🙂

I was just being honest.

I’ll be honest, I was going to post a two word crappy comment like “No thanks” mainly because the amount of blatant Linux boosting is too damn high on Lemmy and it’s irritating. However, then I remembered how much happier I am here on Fedia.io since leaving reddit and it reminded me of the value of questioning established norms. I jumped onto ChatGPT and asked it to lay it all out for me. Which would be better for me, Linux or Windows? I was surprised at how positive it was about Linux and particularly Mint and it got me interested.

In the positive column it listed:

Speed and Efficiency Security and Privacy Customization and Control No Forced Updates or Reboots Free and Open Source (no licenses to pay) Ideal for Developers or Tinkerers

In the more challenging column (related to me being a user since the 80’s!) it listed:

Software Compatibility Gaming Driver Support Learning Curve

Does that sound about right?

It also suggested I could try it with no risk or cost by booting into Linux from a USB stick without installing it. It also said I could do it via a virtual machine or a dual boot which is interesting.

I don’t think Windows has quite given me a good enough reason to leave yet but I am curious now…

Done :)

I find that my short term memory is directly connected to how inconvenient it would be to forget. It feels like my brain is basically trolling me “Ahaaa… you wanted to remember this didn’t you! Well, how about I block the memory and give you a vague sense of unease instead? Don’t worry, the minute you don’t need this information anymore, I’ll give it back to you” (laughs in Disney villain).

So true! The worst part is that I can be blissfully unaware that I hate someone but then something reminds me of them and my brain goes “Whelp… time to speed load every single feeling about this person in the next 5 seconds”.

There’s the obvious ones already mentioned but for me Ro Laren was always so hot 🔥 Michelle Forbes back in the day… Wow…

Absolutely, I have a board for work and one for home. I use the work one a lot more though. I’m also very visual so to be able to add a picture of someone’s face or the bit of the house I need to work on really makes it stand out.
