Me to my mom: Mom you can't just download .exe files from websites nobody's ever heard of before, that's how you get viruses.

Me right now: OH FUCK YEAH GIMME THAT .EXE FILE WHOEVER YOU PEOPLE ARE.

Speed self checkout is a great skill.

Do you bag at the end of everything, or do you sneak your first item into a bag to start? Is there a way to not have coupons ruin the speed as it forces the helper to come take the coupons from you?

I was going to crack a joke about being sent to Sam Hell, but I learned it's actually Sam Hill and I've been mishearing it for the word it's meant to be a euphemism for this whole time.

Drinking 2-3 cups of coffee a day tied to lower dementia risk in c/science@lemmy.world

Higher tea intake showed similar results, while decaffeinated coffee did not — suggesting that caffeine may be the active factor producing these neuroprotective results, though further research is needed to validate the responsible factors and mechanisms.

I have caffeine sensitivity and only drink decaf so uhhhh fuck me I guess 😔

For a brief time, Winco Ice Cream Cones had the A-Temp Penguin on Them in c/portland_oregon@lemmy.world

I didn't get a wide shot of the penguin on the box, but you can see it here . Someone still sells the penguin box.

Do you see the penguin box?

I'm not crazy. Don't you see? It's the same penguin. There's no bowtie and they gave the penguin eyelashes, but it's the same penguin. Do you see?

They gave

eyelashes

They took the penguin away, but I saw what they did. I know who WinCo is.

And then, to make the non-athletic person feel better about themselves, they show us a skill they themselves have perfected in life.

Surely we've all got that under our belts, right?

For example I can get groceries faster than everyone else at Winco on a Sunday morning; I know the exact route to take through the store to be as economic with my time as possible.
