Potato's aren't is the most easy to decipher typo lol. Why is it considered a root vegetable?

I'm not sure how terms differ on the context here. Potato's aren't roots even in culinary terms. It's just common misinformation.

What holiday isn't abused by capitalism?

So I went to bitly's website to see if I could find anymore info here. It looks like most of bitly's paying customers are businesses that generate QR codes and links that can use custom domains. Since these businesses are already paying customers, anyone using those accounts shouldn't see ads, but those businesses' customers probably will! Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems like bitly will inject ads into their customers' customers screens. If I was one of these business owners I would be pissed lol.

I've no doubt most if not all Lemmy users will never buy into a paid bitly subscription. But does anyone here at least know of someone who does, or has a similar subscription? Who would need that? Is bitly so essential to some people that they would pay for an ad free experience? I'm not programmer but I had an interest in it once. Building a URL shortener is one of the most basic programs beginners can get into. There must be hundreds of services for shortening URLs. I know that's a lot of questions but I find this so intriguing.

I have not been tested for ADHD but also have no reason to think I have it. I'm pretty sure anyone who is being distracted from the content of what they are reading has experienced what the OP is saying. I can't imagine why anyone would think this is strictly an ADHD thing. My coworker on the other hand has ADHD and he can read/listen to audio books without being distracted in a situation where I would be. Maybe everyone is just different.

Because when reddit was introducing the new API pricing and said it would be affordable and they would work with developers of 3rd party apps to make a smooth transition, that was obviously how things went. Everyone knows that because reddit makes a claim they follow through on it with 100% accuracy. You're not wrong to read the article and cite info from it, but there's no reason to believe that's what's going to happen either.

Vegetables are just the parts if plants that we eat. A potato is a vegetable. It's also not a root, it is a stem. The roots that's grow off of it over time are actually branches.
