The crayola bath color crayons were what we were playing with, they’re great. Thanks for the advice!

The other side of the family want nothing to do with him sadly so im left as the only uncle he knows and therefore favorite by default ( hey ill take it!) Thanks for the advice 👍

I didn’t think I was going to read a well written five paragraph essay deep dive on the nature of bathing slang across culture from an expert in the field today. Well, here we are. Thanks for the great response southsamurai!

There’s three holes, achthually 🤓 Theres a 14mm and a 8mm intake joint that connects with the perc, and one 14mm output where the mouthpiece is slotted in. The 8mm intake can take native 8mm inserts like dynavaps but it gets used as a simple carb cap most often for easy clearing of the milked up glass. the 14mm intake gets the most use its where my vaporizers connect most often with standard 14mm glass male inserts. You can hit two bowls at once using both intakes at the same time. With the 14mm outtake I can swap out the glass mouthpiece for a hoohah hose.

Heres a video of me hitting it waterless if you want to see.

Well… It wasn’t. Say hello to the other newly christened Uncle SmokeyDope

Farmers baths are when you wash up without running water or a shower. A pan, water, soap, washcloth and lye is all that most people had to work with before modern plumbing. For a toddler this means lots of baby wipes maybe a touch of soap around the stinky and dirty spots. For an adult it means baby wipes and definitely a touch of soap round the the stinky and dirty spots, followed by a spritzing of distilled white vinegar or alcohol for sanitizer, followed by another application of baby wipes and soap.

Go on asklemmy and ask what people think of the situation. Go on casualconversation and talk about your opinions.

Thanks Feathercrown I greatly appreciate you for saying that! 😎

It wasn’t really my intent to complain but rather inform the OP with how I see Lemmy and which kinds of people make up a good portion of the overall community that contribute to conversations after being here for quite some time. I dont think I whinged or went on a opinionated rant that really catagorizes as complaining.

As a tech nerd who understands the value of data and how it relates to companies in the modern day it personally concerns me to make sure my info isn’t easily collectable. I can list off moral argumants for foss and rant about how I’m fighting the good fight against corporate/government surveillance but really that’s just window dressing fluff. The core of it like many things is power, control, and dominance.

Data is money. Money is power. Therefore, data is power. The more of my data I let leak, the more power others have over me. I own my computer, I own my data. its mine so I need to fully control and enforce my power over it otherwise its not really mine and instead some companies who will eventually play power and control games with me over who really gets to control the bytes on the screen.

Fuck you and your forced candy crush ads in the start screen Microsoft, Get off my harddrive. Fuck you and your always listening nonesense FAANG and PRISM, your spyware riddled portable tappy computer gets put in a soundproof Faraday cage when I don’t need to use it. I’m not a stupid animal. You might rightfully get away with treating the general population like ones but I see through your bullshit and and know your games. You want to spy on me? Fine but it will cost you. Step up your game and get some fucking alphabet boys om a salary in a van across the street like the good old days when mass survailance 1984 style was a concern and not a fashion accessory.

People are more genuinely interested in actually contributing to a conversation here and likely to read through your stuff/reply. I feel more seen.

Reddit is a generic corporate algoritm flavored slop with LLMs with an agenda talking to human morons somehow dumber and less aware than the LLMs. Lemmy is at least mostly human but has a personality archetype bias that takes getting used to. Even on niche communities here theres a high likelyhood you’re talking to someone whos either a left leaning political activist, is really into alternative gender identity politics, knows a lot about information technology/STEM, has some serious kinky fetishes, is neurodivergent, or a mix of the above.

So you have the conversational pitfalls that come from talking to tech nerds, liberal arts students, the loud and proud members of lgbqt+, tankies, and all the in between relatively outcast groups that didn’t fit well on reddit in the first place. Every 1/10 post on all is going to be about how fucked the climate change is, lgbqt rights, femboys, trump/elon/conservative republicans doing something stupid or evil or facist, a really unfunny ‘meme’ thats really about spreading some message or showcasing how victimized X minority group is, why linux is good and windows/microsoft bad, some half baked plan by young political activist who think they can overthrow a global corporatocracy with some clever cordinated consumer protesting. At least the content is overall consistent.

As someone who doesn’t really identify with most of these im left feeling lemmy isn’t for me sometimes but its a decent enough social outlet that I can tune out the stuff I don’t care for while being involved with the niche communities im actually here to be part of.
