  • My parents took us on lots of camping trips and I went with them until I was about 18. Then I continued to do it on my own and with friends for a while. It’s been years since I did a full on wilderness camping trip. We’re from northern Ontario and we went out every time of year - bug infested hot summers, wet rainy spring / fall and freezing cold winter.

    When you do it often enough, eventually you end up in situations you didn’t plan for … getting stuck overnight, unexpected rain storm / winter storm, equipment break down. Then you just break a quick basic camp, hunker down and wait for the morning or the storm to end. It’s the only option, otherwise you risk getting into more trouble if you keep going. But it also doesn’t mean you’re happy about it. I got stuck several times overnight in the middle of nowhere cold, wet, hungry, tired and miserable … it’s all doable and survivable, it’s just not very pleasant.

    9/10 for your grandma … Looks like a dual boot setup … a modern fast core system with multiple speed settings on top … and an older OS that is manually operated that can be revealed from underneath (although once the power goes out, you’d have to lose the LEDs)

    This past summer I hadn’t been to the cottage for over a month but I had some food left in the fridge. I brought home a can of opened berry jam I had there and I didn’t want it to go to waste. I ate from it three or four times before I noticed the large patch of mold that was growing on the lid and the underside of the top of the inside of the jar. I like saving food because I grew up poor but at the same time, I’m not going to send myself to the hospital to save a bit of jam … I threw the jar away after that.



  • The stormtrooper is female … she fires, misses and nearly kills the redshirt … reshirt recovers and the stormtrooper is so overwhelmed with grief that they become close friends … after a six month relationship, they get married and a year later have a child … the child turns out to be a half human half wookie … the birth severely complicates their marriage



  • I was making light of your question … partly to have a bit of fun … and partly to show that the community enjoys sharing these silly little bits of movie quotes that act like memes. The one I was using is from the movie “The Naked Gun” (the original film from 1988 with Leslie Nielson)

    A lot of the meme communities enjoy old slapstick movie content as there is a lot of memeable content there … films like ‘The Naked Gun’ series, Hot Shots, any of the Mel Brooks films and Monty Python.

    Don’t be afraid to test your boundaries, comment as you like but with an open mind and kind heart … people will let you know if you’ve said or implied anything negative or positive. Don’t be discouraged if you get no response either … it’s not a popularity contest. The longer you stay, the more you comment, the more you get to know people and the more they get to know you and eventually you become a regular part of the community.

    Welcome to Lemmy and welcome to the fediverse.
