@neil oh heckerty heck; it’s been on my to-do list to change my blog to full-text RSS feeds. Now you’ve prompted me to actually go look up how to do that, and all it was is change one single word in the template. Everything techy is always harder than you think it’ll be… until it’s not.
@clare_hooley Ooh, on behalf of RSS users everywhere, thank you!

@neil Great list! It's exhausting. I keep a similar list on my /nope slash page : https://baty.net/nope/

Dentist: Are you using a manual or electric toothbrush?Well, I got an electric one as a gift, but the manual told me it has an app, so I haven't even charged it, for fear of it playing me ads for its own brand of toothpaste and mouth wash
Dentist: I'll just put manual then
