I was talking with a friend who mentioned “taking tea to India”. It made me wonder what the equivalents are around the world. “Taking coals to Newcastle” is the UK’s.

For example, I have kept the habit of washing my hands with soap, first thing when I come home.

Is it a ‘thank you for prepping my room’ or ‘please clean my room today’? If you tip post cleaning, it’s likely going to someone else the next day. Many hotels now only do housekeeping on demand. How do employees feel about this - do they miss the tips or are they happy for a less stressful workday?...

By deep I mean with the most obscure original. I am not talking ‘all along the watch tower’ but things like Fever Ray’s cover of Vashti Bunyan’s song Here before...

That is, which shows heavily involve therapy and sitting in and getting to watch characters recieve therapy in a therapists office/room. Maybe on a divan but not necessary....

Think about how you have treated both strangers and people you know to answer this question accurately. e.g.: If you say you like people but constantly avoid talking or doing any activity with other people do you actually like people?

I’m thinking of watching ‘Halt and Catch Fire’, but I’m also taking a hardware & OS course right now, and I was worried that it might teach me some wrong stuff. I might wait till after the final to watch it.

Hypothetically, if a colleague has repeatedly demonstrated the utter lack of reading comprehension skills (like pulling the same door labelled “push” for the hundredth time), what job could one suggest for them where this “disability” wouldn’t be detrimental?

Hii, I am trying to get into reading books but don’t know what to read. I like programming, tech, DIY stuff and science and would love to read about it....

When you get to the end of your life, old and tired, and you look back on all the things you did and time you spent, what will make you say: yes, I did well and it was all worth it?...

Is it at all possible that instead of being pushed away, we are instead getting pulled toward something huuuuuge via gravity? As if we are falling into something way greater than ourselves? I thought this was a wild idea but after I Googled it I found out that there is such a thing as a “Great Attractor”. Something 150...

I got clubbed on my forehead with a hockey stick. Needed stitches and have an eyebrow scar now.

My house has a sliding glass door as the main entrance and I need a solution to have it secure from tiny hands. My problem is it needs to be able to unlock and lock on both sides of the door so a pin drop or cross bar won’t work.

I’m super drowsy even though I had some caffeine. I’m drinking lots of water and eating healthy foods, but is there anything else I can do in the meantime?...

I really like Lemmy so far, but sometimes my feed is just invaded by old facebook memes.

I love it because I fall asleep easier and wake up more fresh
