  • We asked in our instance census about use of lemmy-like platforms (reddit, hacker news) and most people said they still used them in some respect. Only 7 our of 49 who answered this question said they never use them, over half use them equally or more than Fediverse alternatives.

    Bar chart showing whether respondents use centralised platforms. 17 indicated they do, but use the fediverse more. 12 indicated they only use them if coming across a link. 8 stated they use them about equally with fediverse platforms, 7 said they never use them as they actively avoid them, and 5 said they use the centralised versions more than the fediverse ones

    Personally I use Facebook messenger, well I normally use Beeper because I don’t have facebook on my phone but I still use the platform to connect with people. And video call on my laptop from time to time.


  • It’s bacon. Processed meat is a WHO Group 1 carcinogen, it’s “known to cause cancer”, I’m not sure how much the charcoal changes things.

    It’s also considered red meat for the purposes of the Group 2A carcinogens, where red meat “probably” causes cancer.

    Not sure what your concern is with charcoal but eating bacon on a regular basis is already living on the edge.


  • Looking up the average for New Zealand, I see everything from 250l per family to 275l per person quoted as average.

    Much of New Zealand doesn’t meter their water, so all they can do is measure the water put into the system and divide by the number of households/estimated people (minus commercial/industrial use that is metered).

    In the area I live in, they are working on putting in meters because they suspect they lose a huge amount of water to leaks on private property that go unnoticed.

    I wonder where this water usage figure for the US comes from. Is it measured on meters at their property?

    And from what I hear people complain about in memes, I think parts of the US probably use a lot of water for watering lawns, something not that common here because it rains a fair amount.

    Edit: lol I was trying to respond to @abcd@feddit.org but 🤷
