For a moment I thought this was ProgrammingHumour and a funny response to calling someone's code undocumented.

Then I read the full post.

Tooth enamel is ~5 on mohs scale. Quartz, the most common kinda rock (afaik), is ~7. You're correct that enamel is harder than steel though, since it's ~4? Disclaimer: all of these numbers are from a quick google search.

Fun fact, this is why we know ancient people used to make bread - the way they separated wheat from the chuff included dropping it on the ground, which led to sand being in the bread and consequently destroying their teeth over a lifetime of eating it.

It's not a "no one asked you", but it is an idiom. As you can probably guess, it means more "don't help people working against your interests".

So, you'd say something like that to a pro-ICE minority person, for example.

Well, rocks in toothpaste would be very bad because they'd be harder than your teeth.

There's fungi that are eating the pacific trash patch, but the issue is that there's not much energy to be gained from plastics we use. It's slow.

I've seen the russian version before, must be it.

usually russian translation won't hide the address, but idk if it was the case here.

I'm happy to hear you found something that works. I tried this before and just like every other thing, I forgot about the notebook after a week of it kinda helping. More of a me problem here, though.

Well yeah. Most ND stuff is just normal stuff but turned up to 11.

"Normal" people worry about having locked their door, but OCD will make you go back three times and double-check, even if you're late somewhere.
"Normal" people get thoughts by association, but ADHD will make you throw the original thought over your shoulder while you're still having a conversation about it.
"Normal" people may have issues interpreting unfamiliar social cues, but autism is socialguessr on hard mode.

etc.

Yup. Getting tired of people saying "just write notes and reminders!"

Okay, my brain immediately deleted the memory of the reminder once it popped up, now what.

I've had my accounts blocked like that a few times when Mastodon was relatively new. I guess it's an instance-specific thing?

I don't remember the exact instance any more, since I never went back there, but mastodon.social doesn't seem to do that.

You don't need to choose a server with bsky, that's it. It's just one big blob of everyone where no one really cares what kind of content or how often you post.

With Mastodon, you need to pick a server, and then there's funny things like "oh, you haven't posted for a while, we're blocking your account" or concerns that the server you chose may decide you're not fitting. That and mastodon.social wasn't available to register for a while as I recall.

Add to that the fact that your instance may not be federated with whoever you're trying to share stuff to. Meanwhile with bsky it's just "do you have bsky yes or no".

People care about ease of use way more than whether it's corporate or not.

Yeah, but at least we got WFH nowadays.
