TIL children in Australia leave out beer for Santa. in c/til@lemmy.world
[–] CreateProblems@corndog.social 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

American born to English ex-pats here. We also left out beer for Santa - and carrots for the reindeer.

We left cookies out too, I'll have to ask if the cookies (and maybe the carrots too) were just put back in the box/fridge, or what actually got eaten.

Edit: my dad says the beer and cookies were definitely eaten but "neither of those pair well with carrots" so apparently they just went back in the fridge. I'm not sure why my brother and I bothered with the carrots then πŸ˜‚

Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: β€œWorking from home makes us thrive” in c/science@lemmy.ml

Came here to say much the same thing!

  • What is this "oneworkforce.org" source? I've never heard of this website before in my life.
  • What is the study that came to these conclusions? This article makes zero reference to any university/research institute that funded the study, any peer-reviewed journal where the results are published, or even the title of a paper.
  • This garbage statement at the end lol: "This article is based on verified sources and supported by editorial technologies." - Okay, TELL ME THE SOURCES!

Everyone's credibility warning sirens should be going off after looking at this "article."

My best friend has struggled with depression for a long time and no SSRI really worked for her. She switched to an SMS medication and it has made a huge difference for her depression.

Meanwhile I'm treated for anxiety moreso than depression, and also felt some emotional blunting on SSRI's. I switched to an SNRI, which targets both serotonin and norepinephrine and that has gotten a lot better for me. It's a lot easier for me to feel joy now.

TLDR: if your meds aren't working for you, shop around and see if something else works better. Yes it takes time, but it's better than being stuck feeling nothing.

Yeah I was recently cat sitting for friends who have two normal litter boxes and two Litter Robots. The Litter Robots weren't functioning correctly and they didn't know why yet so they were basically just normal litter boxes at the time, but gigantic lol.

Anyway I wasn't very impressed if both their very expensive automated litter boxes weren't working.

So I haven't been left with a great impression of Litter Robot's reliability.

Is this an overlook off the BR parkway?

Gotta tuck the snoot

My cat keeps either spraying or pissing on the couch often randomly when I step away? in c/cat@lemmy.world

Def bring it up with the vet. When my cat started going outside of the box, it was because she had a nasty kidney infection.

Edit: also "randomly when I step away," do you mean if you're travelling? She might be stressed because she misses you and she's lonely.

TIL I learned about the "catnip gene" in c/cat@lemmy.world
[–] CreateProblems@corndog.social 2 points 8 months ago

Our cat doesn't respond to catnip but she does respond to silvervine!

I don't think it's the classic catnip response (which I assume is because of her genes) but she gets more playful and her pupils enlarge... for a few minutes and then she just wants to take a nap πŸ˜‚

I'm really just here for the memes y'all

I don't think lemmy.world would be a good home for 196 so I'm glad that onehundredninetysix was created. But I haven't yet been convinced to abandon ship on the original 196 yet and unsubscribe. (Insert Mean Girls "I wish we could all get along like we used to in middle school" scene playing in my head...)

Anyway when I'm scrolling through my feed, the posts from both communities are labeled as coming from "196" even if they're coming from onehundredninetysix. I have to click into the post and then to the community to tell which it's coming from.

Which is all to say: no one call me a traitor for enjoying a meme regardless of which community it's posted in, okay? I otherwise followed the rule. Thanks

I finally found a rule worth posting (corndog.social)
 

I don't think my lurking counts as breaking the rules, I'm just fulfilling my commitment late.
