This anti lawn tirade is kinda anti-kid to a degree.

I see where you're coming from, but I'd argue that more public parks with playgrounds and fields to play on is better than lawns. In some places that's not prioritised, possibly where you are, and so it sounds great what you have going on!

But if there are enough public parks for kids to play at, then lawns just end up being wasted space that could instead be a garden or have native plants that help the native wildlife, or something like that.

I don't know anyone that actually uses their lawn for anything... Some people might host BBQs or stuff like that, in which case I don't mind. In my view, if it gets used, great! But most of the time they don't and they just suck up water resources and petrol on mowing with no real benefit

Mine is OOO for Out Of Office. I always misread it in my head like a ghost and it takes me a few seconds to process. It also doesn't translate to speech—you have to say the whole thing.

Interested to see if others have similar acronyms they beef with.

I heard a good saying the other day: "Electric cars are a solution for the car industry." Give me walkable cities please

It's excellent satire

“I love posting satirical stories to LinkedIn (almost as a hobby now) because no one expects jokes on a ‘professional’ social network,” he said.

Today.com - Man posts about cooking chicken in a hotel’s coffee pot — and the internet exploded

Icons without labels.

Just add a small label underneath. It's not hard. It makes your app way more usable. Please...

Oh hi Cody, looks like you're okay and there's nothing wrong with this situation

This reminds me of a similar joke:

Sharks can swim faster than humans. But humans can run faster than sharks. So in a triathlon, it all comes down to who can bike the fastest

As someone who makes websites for work, I agree

This reminds me of the XBOX 720 memes from back in the day where the console was a sphere or some shit
