I work in IT and occasionally encounter super sexist people who want a man to fix their computers. I’m not rude to these people while on the phone with them and I make sure to be extra kind. I totally talk shit after hanging up though. Fuck anyone who thinks I can’t do my job because I’m a woman.

I had a disabled cat (heart failure, nearly blind, digestive issues, and severe brain damage) who went absolutely bonkers for strawberries. He was always trying to steal them. He was never successful. One day I caved and gave him a slice of a strawberry. He sniffed it then left. The next time I ate strawberries he went right back to trying to steal them. He was such a little shithead, but was the best cat I’ve ever had.

I’m gonna go back to reddit long enough to get the rules for important support groups I’m in to make them here on Lemmy. I’ll then post about it in the support groups before leaving Reddit.

My parents give out full size candy bars and one little girl this year came up to the porch to get candy and stopped dead in her tracks, gasped softly, and whispered, “They’re big”

It was adorable. I think this was the first time she’d gotten full size bars for Halloween, based on her reaction.

What nostalgia this brings lmao. The not pooping for 3 days meme is just as iconic as the influx of beans posts.

My coworkers give me shit for not working late all the time. Like, I work late when I absolutely have to or get permission to make up missed time. I refuse to stay just because lol.

I’ve tried explaining Lemmy to people and they do not understand. They are like “just use reddit bro”

I stopped using Reddit when the API protests happened and haven’t gone back. I honestly think Lemmy is far superior. I love seeing and interacting with the same people in varying threads. Feels like an actual community.
