I’ve always wanted to talk about how weird it was scrolling through reddit and then suddenly seeing myself on the front page. I was banned from reddit for talking about politics (I am anti trump) on the air force reddit so I wasn’t even able to comment on a post about me.

For some backstory, I was returning from a Halloween cruise and it was the only clean shirt I had left (I was planning on wearing it during the cruise as there were no children allowed on the cruise and with the theme I thought it would get a few laughs or at least start a conversation). I never did though and doing laundry on a cruise was quite expensive (I think 50 dollars per load or something like that). I tried to hide the shirt as best I could throughout the day as I do think it was slightly inappropriate to wear in a public setting.

For the record, I love all the comments roasting me and I laughed all fucking day reading them!

Anyways, I have always wanted to publicly talk about this and in my search for reddit alternatives I found lemmy so here we are. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

        3 days can’t shit is a deep cut. I wonder how many on Lemmy even remember that.

        Edit: also read that in the fairly odd parents intro song

    SPOILER: It’s the sleeping dude.

    Just kidding!! Welcome to Lemmy.

    Haven’t read all the comments here but I hope some are of welcome. This is a safe space for lovers of goth tiddies.

    804 upvotes is epic in this land so all I can say is there’s your welcome.

    I feel dirty any time I lose my spine and peek back at a favorite Reddit sub or two. It’s so gross now.

    I’m still figuring this place out myself.

    It’s a journey. Again: welcome.

    I hate this “culture” (?) of recording/photographing strangers and posting them online, but on the other hand this is sooo funny. I’m sorry it happened to you lmao.

      It’s absolutely invasive and (almost always, even though people think they could remedy this with a simple sign) against the law in Europe.

        Hell, I’m annoyed that my apartment’s laundry service is like video game MTX where you need credits for the machine. The machines are like 2 and a half bucks each, but you can only buy a minimum of $10 worth of credits which gets me 2 loads, and then leaves some credits left over that I can’t use or get refunded.

      So originally she was right next to me at a charging station that faced the wall. I sat next to her because I was waiting for her to get up and leave so i could sit and face the wall and charge my phone AND be more comfortable reading my book. She kinda put her head down on the table and started snoring so loudly, it was hilarious. I looked around a bit at a few people next to me and we were all kinda laughing at it. She eventually got up and sat down somewhere else and I didn’t notice because I was too into my book at the time I guess.

      Clockwork prince by Cassandra Clare. I found the three book series at a thrift store and got though the first book on the cruise and was working on the second.

          If you like fantasy, romance and a bit of mystery. It wasn’t anything amazing but I found it for a few bucks at a thrift store and it’s held my attention so far. Apparently there are a ton of books in the series.

    It’s crazy how rare it is to see someone reading a book while waiting nowadays. Good on you.
