I wish that were true. I know too many people IRL that believe that and are old enough that they should know better.

Kagi's pretty good and has a Fediverse search feature, but it's paid. I don't mind paying, but there's also no way to do private searches that way, so I'm not going to use it as my main search engine. It's been good at hunting down memes on Lemmy that I want to find again though.

 

Not OP, found on Loops

 

Transcript:

Charlie Brown stands on the snow-covered walk talking to Patty, who is in her doorway. He asks,"Hi, Patty! May I come in?"

He looks down at his coat as she points at it and says,"Shake all that snow off first..."

She points to his feet and continues,"And wipe your feet real good"

He walks off saying,"I've changed my mind..it's not worth it!"

I mostly care about how much caffeine I get, which I understand to be the same regardless of how much ice there is. Generally, small or medium is 2 shots of espresso, and a large is 3 shots.

Ordering coffee in the USA triggers me

I went to dunkin’ the other day and asked for an iced latte with less ice because it’s winter and I wanted less ice. They gave me a cup that was halfway full of coffee. So I asked why and they told me they press a button on a machine, it fills it halfway full with coffee and then they add ice. So when you get a medium iced latte, you’re not actually getting a medium latte, you’re getting a small or a kids size nowadays of coffee, and then they just fill the rest of it with ice. If you ask for less ice, no screw you, you’re not getting the full amount of coffee that you paid for…

I have never heard of this in any other country. What the hell?

Really really. Great fun when you're young and dumb and just got a car

 
 

Transcript:

Charlie Brown stands on the snow-covered walk, shovel in hand, talking to Patty, who is standing in her doorway. He asks,"Shovel, your walk?"

She asks,"How much will you charge to do it?"

He replies, "Oh, I don't do it myself..."

He concludes, "I just rent out my shovel!"

 

Transcript:

Charlie Brown sits in an armchair reading. He says,"Hey, Patty, bring me a glass of water!"

Patty walks up to him and says,"Say, 'Please'.." He asks,"'Please' what?"

She replies,"Please bring me a glass of water"

She frowns as he smiles and says,"I asked you first!"

He exclaims,"A roughneck!

He shakes his fist, looks at the reader, and continues,"Yes, sir! A regular lil ol' roughneck!"

He sits next to her and concludes,"The only trouble is I'm not strong enough!"

A family member had a deposit down on a Cybertruck and was ready to buy one. They canceled their deposit and bought a different EV because of how much they despise Elon now, so it's not just sour grapes from people that couldn't/wouldn't buy one anyways.

"farleft" is a fine crossword answer. Equating "far left" with "extremely liberal" is pretty silly IMO though. A much better hint would've been "Political faction advocating for radical social change" or something like that

The clue is "Involuntarily made noise while laughing, perhaps", so sure

The MBFC bot would be useful here. Here's what they say about the group behind this site:

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/environmental-working-group-ewg/

Overall, we rate the Environmental Working Group Left Biased as a strong Pseudoscience website based on the promotion of ideas and claims that oppose scientific consensus
