So it looks like the cool kids over in Melbourne have a daily thread bot. Should we make one of our own or leave it up chance?
The eternal dilemma of staying in bed or making a coffee continues.
Let’s get this party started!
My morning ritual:
Weekends: stay in bed as long as possible, if it’s cold use home assistant to turn on my heater from bed. Get up, have coffee.
Workdays: alarm goes off, turn on heater using home assistant from bed, get out of bed after 10-15 minutes, coffee, shower/etc, go to work.
As for the daily threads, I say yes, automate them. Hopefully it can help make the community more active.
I keep meaning to look into home assistant. I just don’t have that many things to automate I guess, but that heater trick sounds neat. I should probably just start with the heaters built in scheduling.
I’m on holiday in southeast Asia at the moment, so the morning routine requires condensed milk iced coffee
e: and in response to the question - it’s pretty quiet here, maybe we should start with weekly rather than daily threads
Better idea. Y’all can pay me to post the dailies and other content to keep you entertained.
I’ll be your anti-influencer.
Me1: Sleep in, go back to sleep you need it.
Me2: Coffee, put wood on the fire the house is fucking freezing.
Me1: fine, you win, bastard.
Me2:fire, coffee, browse Lemmystuff, procrastinate, pre-emptive dread of post procrastination existential crisis, coffeex4.
Mmm coffeex4. This is the way.
Coffee is good, caffeine increases the effect of painkillers like paracetamol and ibuprofen
(I’m displeasedly rugged up at home with the worst cold I’ve ever gotten, it’s almost as unpleasant as the plague but isn’t)That reminds me to go get that flu shot. Thanks! Hope you get well soon.
Going to Bunnings, anyone need anything?
See you there! Literally just got into the car to go to Bunnings haha.
I had a good long think about it and there’s nothing I need, that I know of. Will I regret this? Are you an agent of Big Hardware? Is this a psyop?
If you do end up having any regrets I’ll beat them by 10%
Me1: Get out of bed and make a coffee.
Me2: But it’s warm and i have lemmy working on multiple apps now, I can scroll aimlessly for hours still.
Me1: Yes but the sooner you get up and make a coffee the sooner you’ll be drinking coffee. You really want that coffee.
Me2: Yeah but if I get up I’ll have to make the bed, have a shower, put the kettle on, wash a few dishes, hang out the clothes I forgot to hang out yesterday and there’s so much to scroll and see. It’s cold out there.
Me1: You’ll be warm in no time now get up and stop whining. Coffee, coffee, coffee. We needs it.
I start work at 8:50am WFH.
So most of the time I’m out of bed at 8:45am.
I’m also not a coffee drinker, so that helps. If I’m extremely low on sleep (<6 hours), I’ll resort to some form of coke/Pepsi, but that’s extremely rare and basically an emergency method.
I’d love to see an automated daily thread. It’s like building the framework for the community to grow around.
I can’t touch soft drink. Makes my gums piss blood when I floss or brush, and I have healthy gums. Dentist couldn’t stop the bleeding no matter what she recommended. So I just cut back on things that aggravate the bleeding when I recognise them.
However when I do drink soft drink, it’s Pepsi Max.
This annecdote brought to you by Pepsi Cola.
Yeah let’s get a daily thread going.
