I bought cast iron pan which I think is the best ever purchase I made.

The best purchase I’ve made this year has to be the tickets for the “Barbie” movie on opening day July 21st. As I watched the movie in theater (the best way to watch a movie), I was literally moved to tears by the performance of the lead actress, whom I might add, deserves an Oscar this year.

Fellow lemmings, I, for one, will definitely be buying “Barbie” on Blu-ray to have it in my collection.

Multiple copies, in fact.

You are the opposite of me, I got bored in 10 minutes and I turned it off after 30 minutes.

It’s cool that people can enjoy so different things.

Do you…actually think that’s the real Margot Robbie and not just someone pretending to be her for a theme account?

Two questions for you!

1.) What is the most useful thing we in the Lemmy community can do to help you get that Oscar?

2.) I have a secret Santa this year coming up in a month that I am a part of with some friends. Would you be interested in leaving a comment for a friend of mine in response to this that I can show them a month from now for the secret santa?

“Hey Rome, this is Margot Robbie wishing you a merry Christmas and happy new year?”, or something like that?

Thanks for being cool either way and good luck getting nominated this year!

  1. Memes. I don’t know how it works either so I’m just going with it.

  2. I’m sure he would appreciate the sincere thoughts of you as his friend more than a social media comment left by a complete stranger from the Internet. Which is what this is.

Still, hi Rome!

You’re no stranger, you’re THE Margot Robbie! Well, A Margot Robbie. And since I saw that name on my screen that means we’re best buds, right?

Bidget, I’m a pretty large man (450 pounds) and I always have trouble reaching under to wipe. I would go weeks without wiping and just let it build up like fondu on my ass while I sit in my gamer chair and argue with Redditors (my karma is over 10 mill btw). My hygiene got so bad my pants were decomposing because of all the caked shit. One day as I was moderating r/mademesmile I noticed an ask reddit thread that was talking about bidgets. They were saying how great they were for blasting your butthole clean and how much you save on toilet paper so I asked my mother for some money to buy an attachment for my toilet.

I ordered it off Amazon for like $100 and I got my mom’s boyfriend to install it and oh boy was this thing a life changer. First time I used it it didn’t do much because my ass was full of dried shit but eventually with the help of a paint scraper my butt was cleaner than the Shinano-gawa (that is a Japanese lake) but then I noticed that when the water hits a particular spot under my balls my uuuhhh yeah. So even though I can’t really see anything because it’s so small I could see the semen oozing down my leg. That’s when I realised I can jerk myself off useing the bidget. I would bring my gaming setup into the bathroom and play Genshin impact while the bidget sprays water under me until I cummed. I eventually had to throw it away because it rusted from constant use but I am saving up for one of those Japanese smart toilets so I can install it in my bedroom.

I wish I had more upvotes. Good knives make cooking easy and, more important, prevent injuries.

I bought some knife set that cost like 1000 dollars. It was an impulsive buy when I won an award at work.

Damn I learned expensive knives are worth every penny. I’ve had them twenty years. Normally I’d buy a knife and have to throw it away after a couple of years because they couldn’t be sharpened as they were cheap.

I cook every day and it makes it so much easier.

You can sharpen every knife. Better knifes stay sharper for longer, but they still need to be sharpened regularly. This also applies to ceramic knifes, which stay sharper even longer, but also need to be sharpened after a lot of use.

I’ve heard that, but I’ve only ever cut myself with the really sharp knives and yeah it’s clean, but when the knife is dull it just kind of pokes my finger and that’s it

Couldn’t agree more sharp knives don’t slip. Yet some people out there are purposely blunting kitchen knives.

For anyone reading this, do not “get into” pocket knives. You’ll not know what to do with all the damn knives!

Give them away to friends and family who aren’t into knives. There are a lot of garbage knives out there, so it helps to have a friend who knows what I should be using and how I should take care of it.

This and knife sharpening kit. I brought back two Farberware pieces of crap and use them more than my Wusthof chef’s knife now.

It is worth learning. A single two sided whetstone and some basic skill will give you sharp knives for the rest of your life.

Bonus, keep your cheap knives. They are typically a softer metal that will require maintenance more often so you can practice.

Also learn when you need to sharpen and when you need to hone. Your knife may be sharp but the edge is out of shape (folded, bent over). A few swipes of a hone and you could be back to 80-90% sharp.

At this point I use medium value knives and sharpen them once a year. I have no regrets regarding learning to sharpen with a whetstone. I also typically don’t sharpen beyond 1000 grit and it’s still enough for people to remark on how sharp the knives are.

Best of luck.
