  • I, too, am tired of the constant pessimism. Almost everything is improving all the time.

    On Lemmy it seems the biggest crisis is Google trying to make money off user data (as they always have been). Some people legitimately need to go outside and stop measuring world health by what mass media is currently telling them.




  • The result of this is that all drinking Swedes just have a huge storage of alcohol at home though.

    They also frequently drive all the way to Germany (through Denmark) to shop duty-free drinks in bulk.

    Scandinavian countries have “pant” on bottles and cans, meaning you pay extra for the container, but get the money back when you return it empty.










  • I saw a video of someone teaching himself to like celery, and coerced my girlfriend to do the same - it works!

    You literally just start by nibbling a bit every day and start eating more and more as you can handle it. She loves celery now, to the point where she just eats it raw as snacks.

    Whether it’s worth the apparent torture is up to you. To be frank, picky eaters give me second hand embarrassment when out dining, since you can teach yourself to like basically everything. Usually it’s just people who didn’t get much variety as children.
