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

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

[–] ken27238@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 year ago

You make me sick.

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 tweezers, you will know that I have been compromised.

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 10 points 1 year ago

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

[–] SargTeaPot@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

This is genuinely upsetting. How could you

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

You just lost grilling privileges.

[–] red@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

Is it really grilling if there's no clacking?

[–] 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?

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

[–] QuinceDaPence@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

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 5 points 1 year ago

This guy Dads.

[–] TheFresh16@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Exactly this. I do the trim of the section I am working, then any areas that cannot be bulk mowed, then smaller and smaller square pattern on the bulk to avoid time consumed on excessive turning/momentum loss. Grass looks fine, not trying to impress anyone, and I get back to my family sooner.

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But you have to alternate the pattern each time you mow or you'll get wheel ruts.

[–] Dettweiler42@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Only if you have a heavy mower and drive in the exact same spot every time

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 9 points 1 year ago

"Hi hungry, I'm dad"

[–] Nach@midwest.social 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] jwhardcastle@beehaw.org 3 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 (1 children)

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

[–] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 9 points 1 year ago

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

[–] JayDee@lemmy.ml 5 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?
