huh, you’re right. i’d assumed it was related to the verb ‘leer’ meaning ‘leery’ would mean intimidating or perverted.

i remember watching a documentary on… something, idk and a woman described herself as ‘leery’ around a suspicious character. i’m near certain it was a true crime doc and don’t want to make fun because of that but the transformation of wary > weary > leery really is something

yeah i feel so much more motivated to contribute to new communities that i’d like to see grow and thrive

I quite like Dank Pods’ Cash Converter videos to feel like I’m browsing around with him and laughing at the bizarre things he finds.

i’m an absolute cola addict and unfortunately nothing else scratches the same itch for me. i am a fan of iced tea though

pretty much exactly what it sounds like. people would browse wikipedia and post the creepiest pages they found. like, for example, the aztec death whistle.

fair enough, for mastodon i just use the stock mastodon app from the play store. for what i use it for, casual browsing and boosting posts, it works perfectly well.

any variation of ‘i’m at the soup store’ always kills me

i joined reddit in 2015 when the site was already heaving with content and users. good for killing time and consuming, but not for engaging in the community. right now lemmy/kbin is in the sweet spot where there’s enough people to talk to but not so many that i can’t be heard.

personally i’m missing all the horror content. there’s a nosleep replacement here that’s gaining traction but stuff like /r/wtf, /r/oddlyterrifying, /r/creepywikipedia etc are sorely missed right now

based on a recommendation from here, I use connect for lemmy. I find it much more stable than jerboa
