  • I assume it’s the ‘swiss style’ raw rolled oats not toasted.

    I have it with plain yoghurt and a bit of jam. Milk is nice too. I like the texture and it’s fantastic for your gut.

    Having said that you obviously hate that, so try this:

    1. Mix equal parts honey, brown sugar and coconut oil (or olive oil you could even add a dollop of butter) and heat in a saucepan until the sugar is melted. (About a 1/3 cup of each should be enough for about 3-4 cups of muesli mixture.) While you wait, put your oven on a medium to low heat like 150C.

    2. Separate out the fruit bits and set aside. Combine the rest of the ingredients with the melted honey oil mix, and spread out thin on a baking tray (you may want to do batches, keep it spread thin here!

    3. Bake on low for about 20-30min, stirring every 5-10min. (Don’t let it burn)

    4. Once cool, break it up and add your fruit back, Voila! You have crunchy home made granola cereal! Feel free to add anything else, pecan nuts / almonds / coconut flakes - either raw or toast it with the granola at the beginning. I like banana chips. Chocolate chips are nice too. You can’t really go wrong and it’s easy as.

    Note:: The only thing you want to avoid is burning it while you toast it, the burn flavour will take over the whole mix! So keep an eye on it and keep it moving.

    Note:: melted sugar is like lava. Melt it on the saucepan slowly and don’t let it smoke. Keep the heat low. Don’t stir in to the muesli with your hands. Use a wooden spoon. That shit will burn.

    ‘Glib’ - when the words come out your mouth are fluent, but insincere and shallow.

    McDonald’s Sprite tastes good, it has just the right sweetness and fizz. It’s always exactly the same wherever you go yet somewhat fake and hollow. Similarly, hotel conditioners in my experience, are cold and effective - in the way a walk in fridge is designed to keep meat fresh. Purely functional and devoid of tangible comfort. ‘Glib’.


  • What is the floor made of?

    What is that wire that seems to clip through the solar panel?

    What is that plant theat is draped over it like a creeper? Asparagus? String of Pearls?

    What happens if it rains, is this whole set up under cover?

    Name one product in the fridge

    How does one water plants all over an electrical appliance?

    How far away is the background?

    What time of day is it, and who places a device that needs solar in an area seemingly with such mottled light?

    Can a microwave run on that much solar?

    So many questions.


  • Yeah, when I zoom in, all the detailing looks good from far but individually seem weird and don’t make sense. Hinges are weird, the products all seem non descript or bizarre, the plants don’t quite look real, the shading on the pots are all off, the wires don’t seem to have logic…

    If this is real, it’s a very sci-fi cyberpunk look, almost like set dressing. But I agree it looks like AI to me.








  • I’m not in favour of pre-emptive defederating. It feels like censorship doing so and that bothers me.

    1. Their note to their users specifically says to keep their anti establishment opinions and trolling to their own communities and don’t spread it further for fear of defederation. It hardly sounds threatening to us.

    2. Defederating can happen at any point, and I think would be better kept as a reactive response and last resort rather than proactive.

    3. The more our large instances start fracturing and closing off from one another the less useful Lemmy will become. You’re hardly blocking out an idealogy, if hexbear users wanted in they could just sign up and that would make it harder to find them. At least having them federated makes it easy to filter out @hexbear if we wanted.

    4. Practicing tolerance goes both ways. Calling communities ‘them’ vs ‘us’ and judging a group based on the noise of the few doesn’t seem like the right approach. If hexbear became a problem and moderators complained of hate speech and conflict then absolutely we use the tools we have to keep things functioning, but filtering out groups because we don’t like ‘their’ belief systems will make us judgemental and biased as a result. This is a platform to promote discussion not an echo chamber to gather like minded opinions and bounce them off each other in perpetuity.
