Gurezaemon:

Finding a way to disable Youtube shorts - such a soul-destroying time-sink.

Yes, I know having self control would be better. But this works.

If only I could find a way to block them on the ATV and other iOS apps.

That a Temu order ordered on the evening of the 18th has landed in Christchurch, and is ready for NZPost (Courier) delivery Monday.

Usually you have a week extra to wait if it lands in Auckland!

I would never have thought that I would do a s/w update on a fan, a kettle and LED ‘light bulbs’. 🤣

You should have called it Death Star so you could get a notification of the power of this fully operational... washing machine.

Like renaming your electronic door bell as “Your anus”

A work colleague has renamed one of his cameras to "Back door". Now everytime it picks something up, his phone loudly announces "There is motion detected at your back door!"

I'm a massive fan of puerile humour.
I might have to rename the washing machine again...

If you enjoy puerile humour you would love our street signs in Hawke's Bay. Apparently someone has been going around touching them up to turn place names into very rude words. Just imagine what s/he did to Kent Terrace!

Streisand effect will be living large shortly, with every bored teen doing this. Sigh.

As an adult, with my sensible ratepayer's hat on, I find that utterly reprehensible.

But as a manbaby, I find that hilarious.

Trying to sell a few things on marketplace and had one person message on Sunday ask if they could come and pick something up straight away so I said yes and gave the address as I was home. They turned up within 5 minutes with the correct cash (it was $175 so a reasonable amount). So rare for it to go so smoothly that it warrants mention in this thread.

The first part ruins any chance of the second being considered funny by me.

My automated pet feeder allows me to customise notifications. Every morning at 6am I get a notification that says "The beast has been fed".

For context, this is the beast.
