Story of a tree (lemmy.ca)

A few years ago, this large pine tree feel near our property. I got my chainsaw out and began cutting it up for firewood, starting at the top. When I got to the top of the trunk, it started to move. I stepped back and watch as it stood back up. A large rock was tangled in its roots, providing a counterweight. It's now our flagpole.

I'm not sure why you would need sleep aid patches for your car or office... (lemmy.world)

Supposedly melatonin-infused (among other things) patches, sold on Amazon. If I were to fall asleep at the office, I sure wouldn't need any help with that. In the car though... scratches head

If the number of comments were also the same I would lose my mind.

My phone showed 0% battery but didn't die (lemmy.zip)

I was just doing random stuff on my phone and went to click a button near the top right of the screen, and was mildly horrified to see "1%", so I immediately put it into the charger, where the phone promptly started showing "0%" for the next ~30 seconds. The phone never died.

Has this happened to any of you?
