What can a person replace tv shows, movies, and other zombie-brain entertainment with? How can attention span be improved?

    Another vote for audiobooks. I usually pop one on and do all of my chores so they suck slightly less

  • Does Arizona and Australia share the same rock formation layers? I was watching a TV show and a lot of the Australian landscaped looked very red and similar to Sedona Arizona. Do they share the same layers?

  • What It Takes to Convert a Multi-Million Dollar Office Into Housing
  • Charliechonch Charliechonch Now 100%

    Yeah but could you imagine having residential on the top floor and then shopping and possibly daycare on the bottom floor? You could have targets and grocery stores and all sorts of other shit in there and it would probably pay for itself in a very short amount of time

    That was really interesting. I was always wondering why we didn't just convert old abandoned shopping malls into residential / shopping districts

    I know it has nothing to do with your adorable pup, but I just wanted to say that I love your yard and the fact that it's Clover instead of just regular grass. Go bees!

  • People of Lemmy, what’s your horror story?
  • Charliechonch Charliechonch Now 100%

    After a heavy night of drinking one weekend in high school I was spending the night at my friend's house. The place wasn't the cleanest, because, high schoolers. There was a bird that was kept in the bedroom and birds are pretty messy and throw food all over the place when they eat. There were clothes all over the floor so you couldn't see the floor at all. When we walked in the room, the floor moved.

    They left a blacklight on as a nightlight, turned on Ginuwine "My Pony" on loop and passed the fuck out. The room was kinda spinning from the amount that I had drank so if I closed my eyes I would get the spins. As I was looking up at the ceiling debating my life choices I saw something crawl across the wall. It.was.fucking.roaches.

    I sat up in a bit of a panic and really started looking around the room and saw that roaches were crawling up the walls, over the bed and pillow, and my friend that was sleeping. I spent the night cross legged in an office chair with a can of roach spray that was in the corner of the room spraying a puddle of it around the chair as a barrier.

    Found out later that because of them feeding the cats and just leaving wet cat food cans out around the house, sewer roaches would crawl up the bathtub drain in the middle of the night and pour out around the house.

    Needless to say, my house is fucking CLEAN. And I might have slight ptsd with that fucking song and the feel of a bug crawling on me.

    My dad sounds a lot like your dad, but I guarantee you that he will secretly save it and cherish it. When I was helping him clean the other day I found something I made for him back when I was in preschool

    Who cares if you're being sappy or not. It's not like you guys are going to be face to face when he's reading it so he can go hide on the porch away from everybody else and cry a little bit and nobody can say anything

    Why don't you send him a thank you greeting card with all of the things that you said here and all of the things that you do want to say to him. This way, you don't have to be in front of his face, and he can read the card in private and then keep it forever because it will be his favorite thing

    Not to be ignorant but what do blue porch lights mean? I have them on my house so I know it's my house in the line of all the other ones with white lights

    Every Saturday this organization hosts a small farmers market. For a $15 donation you walk away with about 40 lb of food. If you register with them they send you an email with what type of fruits and vegetables they are bringing. There's usually a bunch of other vendors set up around them as well

    coyotes active during the day?

    I'm in the middle of the suburbs and I have a pitbull who sleeps through everything. The coyotes are absolutely silent though

    I've basically turned my coop into Fort knox, but I figured that my ladies would be safe enough running around the backyard during the day and full light. Apparently I was wrong. One of my girls got snatched by a coyote right in front of my face after it scaled 7 ft privacy fence. Is anybody else having problems with coyotes during the day or is it just me
