I’d be amazed if it didn’t have any negative health consequences - very few things in life come without trade-offs. The real question is how significant those consequences are and whether the benefits outweigh them. For many, the answer is yes.

Somehow they seem to think that one small cigarette butt is so insignificant that it doesn't matter despite the fact that they can see these small cigarette butts literally everywhere.
Appereance is subjective but strenght is not. OSB is significantly weaker than regular plywood. Personally I consider it a construction material meant for walls, roofs and floors but I'd never use it for furniture making.
Anxiety / stress. Usually it relates to finances either directly or indirectly. I have enough savings to survive few years with zero income but having recently transitioned from employee to being self-employed, there's quite a bit uncertainty about future. I'm not losing any significant amounts of money currently but I'm barely able to save anything either which makes me quite uncomfortable as someone who for the past 10 years has lived well below their means.
That's my experience as well. In order to get a healthy, moderate amount of news you have to actively avoid them. I even tried avoiding weather forecasts at one point but people kept telling me.
It’s around 20 years old, if not older. What’s interesting to me is that when I bought it, I hadn’t done any research - I just walked up to the Leatherman display at the store, fiddled with all of them, and the Wave was the one I liked best. Only 15 years later did I find out it’s one of their best selling models.
The only feature from the newer models I wish it had is one handed operation for the pliers where you can just flick it open like a pocket knife.
I'd rather stay informed too but not at the expense of my mental wellbeing. It's not political posts that's the issue here - it's the amount of them.
Mine is 17 years old but last year I upgraded the last original parts in it (MB, CPU & RAM) so now only the case is original and I don't think it counts as the same PC anymore.
I've always assumed that the average user here is around 30 years old.
Basically my entire feed is like swiss cheese due to all the articles about Trump and Musk.
Does someone actually enjoy consuming this stuff all day every day? I can't possibly imagine Lemmy ever becoming popular among the normies if this is what they'd need to deal with.

No hating on my mods allowed. Yes, it's duct tape.
I was supposed to attach it to the seat post with a provided clip but I like to live dangerously so I attached it to the frame with zip-ties instead. The duct tape is there to prevent the frame from getting scratched and the grip tape keeps it aligned and from moving around.
For the vast majority of winter I get by perfectly fine without studs simply by having wide tires and running so low pressures that the gauge doesn't even register. However, there's that handful of trips, especially towards the end of the winter, that I could really use the extra grip you get with studded tires. I decided to continue on the custom / diy theme with my bike mods and used 13mm self-tapping screws instead of dedicated tire studs. It's ones with a wide, flat base but I'm still considering taping over them to protect the tubes.
This is the rear wheel, I think I'm only doing the outside row on the front. I only have about 25% of the knobs studded and the increase in grip is already immense.

It's not just snow, it's the darkness as well. It's quite lonely out there in the pitch black forest with just your headlights. I'm also pretty much just limited to the trails people have walked on where as during summertime I can drive where ever I please.
