Why do squirrels swim on their backs?

To keep their nuts dry!

What’s the best music to play on Friday night?

The Weeknd

Not a fan of Airbnb myself due to having lots of sketchy properties on that site, but most people who say they don't want it in their neighborhood always say that they are a lot of trouble.

I am lucky to never experience this before, so I am curious to know what's your side of the story?

And what do you guys think about ori Aibnb concept of couch surfing with live in owner? Would it be more acceptable?

When does Friday come before Thursday?

In the dictionary.

Dinner!

Hola, if any of you guys are also dabbling on the microblogging side (such as using your kbin account or actually on a masto build or similar; does Lemmy enable you guys to view blogging accounts as well?), i just wanted to share that a mutual of mine @irfan set up masto bots for soya cincau and lowyat.net:

soyacincau@mastodon.social
lowyat@mastodon.social

(@ soyacincau @ mastodon.social
@ lowyat @ mastodon.social in case formatting breaks the link)

You can follow them and see news updates on your timeline.

I also started a SEA kbin mag: @magASEAN (@ magASEAN @ kbin.social) because not yet managed to see any (anglophone) continental southeast asian accounts around.

Do share if you've found anything else! I'm trying to build my TL to be less Western.

The dev of Sync, a 3rd party reddit app, just announced he's making an app for browsing Lemmy!

Here's mine, Indian mixed rice.

Joke of the day

I'm a big fan of whiteboards. I find them quite re-markable.

Visualising how the climate has changed for every country across the globe

(Reposting here per mod's advice. Btw - on kbin.social (or maybe any kbin instance for now) i didn't see your comment but at least i can see the monyet.cc version (but of course can't respond lah because deleted copy is deleted and on monyet.cc i don't have an account).

There's a few Malaysian cities listed, but none from Borneo :( of the Semenanjung ones, Kg Baru Subang wins for utter randomness (maybe because of old airport? Idk)

Followup to my earlier share of the anti-Meta Fedipact business. I compiled the links on my personal mag. Sort the comments by Oldest as that's where I'm adding all the stuff.

should be useful for the coming weeks

Here's mine from a few weeks ago!

I can't even begin to explain this without getting into what fediverse politics has been but i thought this would be of interest to you guys regardless. The TLDR is that Meta's been developing their own ActivityPub project (and with it instances) under P92. And apparently they had a meeting with key figures especially on the microblogging side (so that includes Eugen the Masto guy) - no details provided because got NDA.

If you've been on fediverse to avoid corporate socmed and/or object against surveillance capitalism, naturally this wasn't treated as good news.

(I thought this is the best channel for this but lemme know if i got it wrong)

Well, the title above is just an example. You can start with your name (age and gender is optional), and follow by the topic that you want to have a chat about. Don't feel like posting your details? That is ok too. Just the topic of the chat itself is fine.

Don't sensationalize the title btw, clickbait is not fun. Here are some examples that you shouldn't do:

I think KL Hokkien Mee is the superior Hokkien Mee, fight me

Don't do this. Also:

I'm lonely and horny, send nudes plz

Don't do this either. It's weird.
