The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.



Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.

Bidet is the way.

There's a lot of intriguing family history in your story. SIL scared to buy a plunger. MIL took a golf cart. Interesting group.

Bro, that ain't the half of it. My father-in-law built an entire western town in his backyard and when he was done he built a Jurassic Park with dinosaurs essentially made of trash. Here is a shitty picture of the saloon with a bar in it. I'll see if I can find some of the dinosaur pics too.

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 28 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Yes PLEASE!

Sounds like you married right.

The signs and storefronts are amazing.

I see the inside of the saloon, is the general store a whole room are just the storefront?

that is amazing, give him my maddest of props.

Here's a video of Western World. https://youtu.be/ug2U5PUSwA4

Here's another one of his annual go cart track. https://youtu.be/E5ljFgmQ0MQ

I'll have to find the Jurassic Park videos.

his annual go-kart track...I knew I wanted land when I eventually buy a house, but I wasn't sure what I wanted it for.

now I have a lot of valuable inspiration.

please pass on my sincere congratulations and respect, Western World and the go-karts are awesome.

And yes, I'm ready to see the trash dinosaurs.

[–] Carighan@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Yeah just casually dropping in there that his dad sets up a go-cart track for the family get-together in the garden, sure.

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

Im appreciative he did, i need to know eccentric wackadoos that build scrap dinos and saloons are around.

[–] NineMileTower@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I'm bored as shit at work.

[–] NineMileTower@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I found them. There was a zip line through this area too.

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh man!

I didn't realize they were fully fleshed out dinosaurs!

they look great!

I actually saw some scrap dinosaurs in Arizona, but they're still metal and skeleton, no skin or color on them.

wow and the skin is even pebbled. that is so cool.

thank you for getting back to me and sharing those pictures. wow! those are huge dinos too

[–] NineMileTower@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Glad you enjoyed. Lol

[–] Carighan@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Damn that's some impressive stuff! :o

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I love this so fucking much. Eccentric people are the best.

Also somebody please invite this old dude to play D&D

[–] NineMileTower@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

He would very much rather smoke cigarettes and drink Bud Light in the yard.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He can do all that but not have a toilet that gets clogged so frequently his daughter is stealing plungers out of anxiety?

[–] NineMileTower@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I'm not even joking, they got divorced last week.

[–] Strawberry@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

damn that's cool

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'd love to read more of these stories, if you have time to share them. Maybe !casualconversation@lemm.ee?

[–] NineMileTower@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Ok, I'll join.
