How do you pick up your dog’s poop?
How do blind people use cash in the US? Other countries have different sizes and textures and stuff, but not our cash.
considering the state of the world, politics really should be inescapable. everywhere. not just lemmy. not just reddit. not just social media. everywhere.
people trying not to pay attention are allowing evil to go on uncontested. you are showing a lack of empathy and self absorption that is ruining the entire world.
My god… How do blind people pick up their dogs poop?
Dogs do poop in the blind person’s hand.
**American politics
This is the important part. I enjoy reading political news and discussions. But in the country I live in, not American politics which forced into each conversation.
It would be great if my existence and the existence of my friends and family weren’t considered “political.”
But here we are. Sorry that our not going quietly into the camps inconveniences you.
My favourite part of Lemmybis being able to block communities and users, don’t live in America so it’s not my problem you got a tangerine hitler for a president, we got our own problems.
Like it or not, it’s everybody’s problem. At least he unwittingly caused some positive change, pushing EU countries to break away from US tech/products
Don’t live in Europe
I’ve helped a visually impaired person find their dogs poop so they could pick it up via the “Be my eyes” app. They activated their camera and I used it to direct them to the poop
You are now a poop sherpa, thank you for your kind service.
I’ve been logged in for years, and I just got my first call last week! I was so excited. Lady’s laundry machine had stopped with the clothes still wet, and I read off the dial settings and LEDs to determine why it had stopped the cycle and what to do. Took about 5 min.
The calls are few and far between that’s for sure. I’ve only had four or five in total
I think it rings several sighted people simultaneously to speed up the connection. Twice it’s rung but I was not able to pick up, once I was too slow and the other I just wasn’t available. Super frustrating because I was really looking forward to it.
Hopefully now that I’ve answered a call I get prioritized somehow.
Username checks out.
the issue is that ‘political’ people inject their politics into everything, and want to put every comment and commentator into the prejudged boxes they regard as right and wrong.
they don’t care about what anyone says. just about passing judgement and feeling superior.

I hate that this is commonly known as “politics”. To me, this is a sports event. I still like to think that politics is about discourse, compromise, coalitions etc.
that’s cool, but the vast majority of people don’t. for them it’s about whether you are on their team, and how pure your loyalty to their team is. discussion and discourse are violations of that purity.
Their tribalism is a violation of my purity test. Dumbasses don’t get to redefine what words mean, even if they’re dumb enough to vote for a braindead celebrity.
The unfortunate part is that politics isn’t necessarily tied to government. People get political over anything they identify with
Political, or tribal? Political is supposed to mean compromising on solutions to tough and intertwined problems. Not throwing on a jerzy and rooting for your dumbass team regardless of what they do or say…
This is what happens when you browse “All” on lots of platforms.
Gotta stick to your niches. And sadly, it’ll come up in comment sections too sometimes, because power is everywhere.
lemmy is too small to have active niche communites. the only active communities are the general ones.
How do you wipe your butt?!?!
Very few blind people have no vision at all, and many, including myself, have sufficient vision to see what’s on the TP. Otherwise, the friction as you wipe is a decent indicator, and if you’re not sure you can just make a few more passes.
I’d never heard that! So you might be able to see it from very close, or only in peripheral vision or something? That’s great.
That extra bit of context definitely helps to frame why someone would be asking you those things!
I thought most people on here would get the reference from how often “How do blind people wipe their butt?” comes up on /r/showerthoughts, but I’ll change the post title to avoid any other weird comments.
For what it’s worth, that’s probably more of a Reddit thing; I don’t think I’ve ever seen that asked on Lemmy.
I guess I assume all Lemmings are former Redditors like myself and I suppose that’s not the case.
I think most of us are, but a lot of us made the switch quite some time ago… mid-2023 was a pretty big migration wave, and so have largely forgotten about Redditisms. :)
I joined my first instance around that time, and finally deleted my Reddit account a few months later. But I still lurk on some subreddits. There’s no Orangutan community on Lemmy :(
Smell test
Taste test is actually more accurate /j
The same way they pick up dog poop. They have a theme or compulsion.
