Sometimes when I grill. I don't clack the tongs together.

[-] Lemmylefty@lemmy.world 70 points 1 year ago

Take your fucking socks and sandals and march your ass right out of my open air brick patio, sir.

[-] MrVilliam@lemmy.world 41 points 1 year ago

This one right here, officer. He's a menace.

[-] ilovededyoupiggy@sh.itjust.works 33 points 1 year ago

You monster! How do you even know if they're tongy enough?

[-] Baylahoo@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I can almost forgive some of these others. But I don't understand how a person, much less a dad, could even begin to commit such an attrocity. The second I don't click the tongs, tweezers, hell even scissors, you will know that I have been compromised.

[-] ken27238@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 year ago

You make me sick.

[-] VanillaGorilla@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago

I clack them to the terminator theme. Even if I didn't want to, I don't think I could avoid it.

[-] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Same but Mission Impossible

[-] FitchInks@feddit.de 13 points 1 year ago

But how do you know they are working if you don't clack them?

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

liers anonymous next room

[-] SargTeaPot@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

This is genuinely upsetting. How could you

[-] red@feddit.de 10 points 1 year ago

Is it really grilling if there's no clacking?

[-] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago

You just lost grilling privileges.

[-] theragu40@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I've always wanted to ask someone who is into doing it. Since I've got you here, what satisfaction do you derive from posting outright lies and falsehoods on the internet?

[-] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 51 points 1 year ago

I optimize my pattern for minimal direction changes, which saves me 3-5% on the time it takes to mow

[-] QuinceDaPence@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

I optimise mine for max clibbins dispersion.

Or if it's really thick and damp I'll do a patern like 2 rows forward 1 row back so they get finely mulched instead of clumped. Think a narrow clockwise rectangle on the right of a given square of grass that slowly walks to the left so the clipings are pulled away from the uncut grass and then run ove again on the return trip. Also helps in case it's thick enough that the grass isn't fully being cut.

[-] _Sc00ter@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

This is genius. I usually just get my blower out to break up the clumps, but I might give this a go

[-] cawifre@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I'm totally trying this the next time I wait too long between mowings!

[-] ki77erb@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

The other day my daughter told me she was hungry.... All I did was ask what she wanted to eat! I will carry that with me for all my days

[-] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

"Hi hungry, I'm dad"

[-] Nach@midwest.social 17 points 1 year ago

My robot mower does this. It traverses the lawn like a Roomba. Took me awhile to get used to.

[-] jerkjaguar@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago
[-] cuttlefishcarl@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

My guy, robot mowers have been around for some time now. The catch is you need to bury a guide wire around the perimeter of the area the mower is meant to cut. Or at least that was the case the last time I looked into getting one.

[-] neumast@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

There are some which are guided via gps now. However, i won't trust them being so precise. For me/us burying a guide wire was the better solution. Some manufacturers even claim, that you dont have to burry the line cos it will be overgrown by grass after a short amount of time.

[-] Sylver@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

GPS will only ever be accurate within 5 meters, which won’t cut it for small yards where even 1 meter over the line may send it down a hill or into the neighbors yard

[-] 80085@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Linus Tech Tips reviewed one that came with a little radio tower it used for position (guessing it used a combination of many sensors). Seemed to work OK in his flat little backyard.

[-] deeznutz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

GPS gets down to 1cm or finer precision with an additional, stationary receiver, and time corrections. https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/how-to-build-a-diy-gnss-reference-station

People have built DIY mowers utilizing tech like this. Problem is, the RTK receivers are far too expensive for all but the higher end mowers.

[-] Nach@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

I love this reaction

[-] jwhardcastle@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

My Roomba vacuums in a pattern. It finds the edges of the room, finds obstacles, and then goes ||||| across the middle of the room, doing little circles around table legs.

[-] ThePac@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I'd need 6 of 'em for my lawn, last time I checked. Would bee nice tho

[-] Nach@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

Must have a big yard! Mine is good for 1/2 acre but it could just run more often so I think you could stretch it a bit

[-] Norgur@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago

Last Time I grilled, I didn't ask who wanted their meat rarer than having a good chef

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 14 points 1 year ago

I had an electric mower so my pattern was just "don't run over the extension cable."

[-] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

I use one of them Husqvarna roombas to do my lawn. It cuts any way it wants ☹️

[-] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Same. No shame, as I spend my time working to buy supplies, and then use those supplies to grill

[-] JayDee@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

The one who vomited, did so such that his steaks would be affected

[-] Florida@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

How do you do a pattern? Do you have to adjust the height?

[-] SGG@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

The height, the direction, the updog.

[-] akinhet@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago
[-] Brocon@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago
[-] akinhet@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

All is well, thanks.

[-] veroxii@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Dad club confirmed

[-] Somsphet@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

My general mood and demenur thanks for asking

[-] veloute@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago
[-] SGG@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Updog is the most magical property of grass, its hard to put into words over the internet.

I'd recommend approaching your friends and asking them "what's updog". You should get filled in soon enough.
