Yesterday I happened upon a blacked-out redacted bird on imgur. If a new trend is happening, life is going to be alright.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

This is about 5 years old.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Still funny. As if the bird was a dangerous perpetrator, in need of being anonimized, out risk of being recognized.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Yep, that's how it feels when you get to my age

Professional mover, mathematician, or performance artist?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Yes.

And a large tub of lube.

I got divorced in my 20s and moved from a house into an apartment. I had this long sofa bed, and my buddies and I tried for like half an hour to get it into the apartment, which was off of a hall and then had a short entry hall itself. The couch was too long to stand up on the without hitting the ceiling.

Finally decided it just wasn't going to work. I thought it might be worth trying to disassemble some of the internal structure and cutting some upholstery seems, then reassembling and sewing, so I turned it upside down. Long story shorter, the arms were separate units, not sewn on, just bolted on, and without them it was short enough to go through the door on end. Wish I had realized earlier.

Speaking of moving sofas, I just learned the other day that a preprint was just released in November that, once formally reviewed, should solve the moving sofa problem.

So next time someone needs help moving a sofa you could just give them a copy of the solution

Is there an AR app for this yet?

This would be a perfect use case!

Sofa King has Gerbers on sale this week, half off! They had to cut them in half to get them into the store.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Whack it, from the side.

Time to move

I'm glad they covered the doggo's face otherwise the baby would be doxxed

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

Is it a doxxhund? I can't tell

Yeah that’s how we solved this problem last time I had it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

oooh, I'd say bolt cutters too for the springs

the springs were a bit of a pain with the sawzall, so when my brother needed to get rid of his couch, I picked up some bolt cutters and it went through them ezpz. They didn't have that much tension on them

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

The first couch I had to do this too maybe didn’t have springs…. The second was being removed from my house because my kid jumping on the couch had snapped all the springs in half so that wasn’t an issue to begin with.

When my sister bought a couch, it wouldn't fit and so the building super "helped" her by ripping half of it to pieces in order to get it into her apartment. Then she made me put it all back together, which was rather challenging. At least the upholstery was still in one piece.

I'll have my revenge years from now when my sister wants to get rid of the couch. She'll try to break it up again and she'll realize that I put it together using heavy-duty screws rather than the little nails that the factory had used. That thing is not coming apart again.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Screws are better for removal/replacement than nails, unless they're stripped. And she's gonna be doing it in the apartment where she can see what she's doing. She should thank you

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

So strip the heads next time? No problem. Pretty sure he can handle that

Do you have access to a command terminal?

Deactivate gravity, then object clipping, reposition the couch, then enable clipping and finally set gravity back on.

You must do this in the correct order or else you and that couch are falling through the floor.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 days ago

It is now a load bearing sofa.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I got that glitch once. You definitely need a professional or the couch might and up in a wall.

Love the effort to protect the dog's privacy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago
[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

Are the idiots protecting dog's identities now? I saw recently a photo from someone's dinner. Everyone had black square instead of a face. Why to take the photo then?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago

There's a VP that could give it a good tumble, if you don't mind it getting stained.

[–] [email protected] 84 points 2 days ago

I'm glad they took the time to protect the dog's identity!

[–] [email protected] 60 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Did a door materialize during the move only to later disappear? Might need to consult a holistic detective agency for this one.

The problem with a website full of nerds is that someone will beat you to even more obscure references haha

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I love that aspect of lemmy.

The ACKSHUALLY snipers, not so much.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

I think we're seeing both sides of the problem.

This is the only response.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

This is the way

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

That dog is 100% shaming them for their failure.
