The old wive's tale that a broom will stand on its own during the Spring Equinox proved true for me this AM. But will it also stand in August? I dont know because ive never tried.

I have that same broom, but it's to unevenly worn to stand up.

I don't mean to brag, but my broom is only a week old. Dusts off shoulder

[-] Denjin@feddit.uk 13 points 2 months ago

A broom is not an appropriate tool for dusting your body.

[-] FudgyMcTubbs@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

If you will it, it is no dream, Dude.

[-] sik0fewl@piefed.ca 3 points 2 months ago

Depends how dusty you are.

I also have that same broom, what a broom

I actually used to stand brooms up when I was a kid working at Hardee's. I'd get like 3 or 4 of them standing and then this pothead Joe and I would try to land dishrags on the handle like we were throwing a disc golf putter or something. Manager was not impressed

Holy shit it’s working

I didn’t think it would, my broom is slanted.

But it does stand

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
