So many suggestions here are so needlessly complicated. Just put some tape on the end of a thin stick 🤦

Bro have you never watched a Futurama episode before in your life? They’ve ALWAYS made jokes about current events and pop culture. Those jokes a perfectly in-line with their usual humour.

Maybe you could set her up a plex library or something like that?

The app I use (Voyager) has a “are you sure?” sort of feature where a window asking if I wanna delete the comment or cancel the cancel, as in undo the cancel and continue writing the comment, pops up. Maybe you could give it a try and see if it helps prevent this issue lol.

Listen, I liked Sync’s ui and I wanna go back to something familiar when sync for lemmy comes out okay lol

Do you think people use coin or bottle cap collections for anything functional? The point of collecting stuff is to have your own personal little museum to look at and enjoy based on your interests. If you don’t enjoy keeping them, then don’t, but if you do enjoy keeping them, because of nostalgia or sentimentality or because you just like having physical copies, then keep them, and don’t worry about whether they serve a function or not. In that case their function is that they make you happy.

The ability to cure any disease/illness or unwanted mental disorder/illness in anyone nearby within a certain radius. Might as well focus on it helping others if it’s completely random.

This sort of question is better meant for the support community I think.

They’re pointing out a part of the video that caught their attention in some way, even if it’s just quotes, it’s still a form of feedback.

It’s worth checking if you have any 24/7 vets in the general area if you’re worried and want to contact someone sooner rather than later (these places usually take emergencies but they’re usually willing to answer questions over the phone as well in my experience), but if there isn’t one then the kittens should be fine for the night if they seem healthy still aside from the fleas. The main thing you have to worry about with fleas is anemia iirc, which can be deadly for kittens if left untreated. If they aren’t abnormally lethargic and don’t have pale gums then they’re likely not in immediate danger, just make sure to stay on top of it and get them treated (using professional advice) as soon as you’re able. Good luck!

The cat eating the kittens if you touch them thing is a myth. The only times a cat might eat their kitten/kittens is if they’re extremely stressed, malnourished, or if a kitten is ill or dies. And even in those cases it’s still rare and the cat is more likely to abandon the kittens rather than eat them. A cat may decide to move her kittens and try to hide them if she doesn’t like them being handled, but that’s about it. And lots of cats actually like when their kittens are handled by humans for various reasons, so it’s possible she won’t have any issue with it regardless.

I’m not sure where the myth came from, but my guess is that in rare cases some feral cats or new mothers get so stressed by humans handling their kittens too much that they eat the kittens because they feel like the environment isn’t safe enough for raising a litter and go nuclear, but I doubt this happens often even among cases of cats eating their young, and like I mentioned before the cat is far likelier to abandon the kittens rather than eat them unless she’s starving. A cat isn’t going to lose the ability to recognize their kitten just because they have human scents on them. They use more than just their sense of smell to recognize their kittens, and handling a kitten isn’t enough to completely remove the kitten’s smell. Cat’s noses are too sensitive for that. Not to mention if that was all it took to get a mother to reject their kitten, then it wouldn’t be so common for mother cats to adopt kittens that they didn’t give birth to, or even baby animals from a different species. Their mothering instinct post-pregnancy is too strong for something like scent to be a primary factor.

Many flea treatments can be unsafe for newborn kittens because of how sensitive they are, so don’t cover them in any mixtures you read about online without consulting a vet first. Don’t use soap on them either, and submerging them in water isn’t a good idea. I think the usual method for kittens that young is just using a very fine flea comb and dampening their fur with warm (but not too hot) water, then picking off the individual fleas by sight, since they’re small enough for that method to be effective. Even if their fur is dark, the flea comb and a good light source can still allow you to see and pick them off effectively, and the water will cause them to gather in the drier spots, making them easier to find. Then you let them dry in a warm place to make sure they don’t get too cold after. Kittens can be very sensitive to changes in temperature which is part of why bathing them outright isn’t a good idea, and why keeping them warm after dampening their fur is important. Also you’ll want to treat the mom at the same time, so she doesn’t just give the fleas to the kittens again, and clean all their bedding and whatever their bedding is kept in (if they’re in a box for example).

I highly recommend calling a local vet to ask over the phone about what methods to use to de-flea both the mother and the kittens, at the very least. Even better if you’re willing to get them an appointment, the sooner the better since fleas can be dangerous for young kittens, even if you don’t think they have many on them. The mother can probably be medically treated, but the kittens can’t. Whatever source you’re getting this “I read” info from isn’t reliable, and while I try my best to do my research, I’m not a vet, I’m just a random person on the internet. so I would recommend consulting a professional first and foremost if you want to be absolutely sure that what you do is safe and won’t hurt the kittens. Even if you don’t want to pay for an appointment, most vets are willing to answer questions and give advice over the phone. Source: I worked at a pet hospital and often consulted the vets about questions asked over the phone.

Depends on what your interests are. If it was me I might write something, or pirate Sony Vegas pro and edit a video, or download some movies to watch, or work on a project of some sort that requires a computer, or just watch some YouTube videos in bed on a screen bigger than my phone for once.

On my phone I like headphones for music, but I prefer the speakers for stuff like videos. I don’t like my head/ears being constricted all the time, but sometimes when I want the best audio experience I’m okay with it. On good speakers like in my car or my soundbar I occasionally enjoy listening to music without headphones though. Though sometimes I like using headphones for videos too if I’m like cleaning and don’t wanna carry my phone around the house while listening to a video. Or if there’s a more nuanced audio factor that I wanna be able to hear better.

I need over ear headphones. Can’t stand earbuds and on ear headphones hurt my ears and make me feel like I can’t hear as well.

Tell them you’re going to prank them, and then don’t.

The first Resident Evil movie. Not because of the zombies, it was the laser scene that got to me. I was convinced that lasers would come out of any reflective surface to get me. I didn’t like how they seemed to react to the guy avoiding them, making it impossible for him to escape, like they were intelligent and trying to kill him.

I’m having the same issue but liftoff isn’t letting me log out and then back in. I had to go to wefwef, or I guess it’s called voyager now.

Canada

I’ve seen Alberta get above 40C in rare cases.

Coldest was about -45°C, hottest was about +45°C. We’ve got quite the range where I live, though usually it’s closer to -30 and +30, those were just extreme cases lol.
