I thought Reddit backed off on this, but honestly it's worse than ever now. Literally 20-30 seconds after opening a page in my mobile browser, this massive full screen pop up blocks EVERYTHING.

I genuinely do not want to install the official app.

Even after wiping my browser data and trying a brand new browser, it still pops up and covers the whole f*ckig screen.

I’m stubborn and I refuse to download the app, but this is getting unusable. Is there an extension, reddit client, or literally any workarounds to bypass this?

This aggressive pushing is honestly about to make me quit the site entirely.

Mislim da je pravo vreme za ozbiljna životna pitanja. Do sada sam čula za minimalno 10 različitih načina za pronalazak dobre lubenice, i bukvalno je 90% stvari kontradiktorno:

• "Ako kucneš i čuje se šuplje, zrela je."
• "Ako je čvrsta i ne čuje se, sočna je."
• "Gledaj žutu mrlju, to je top."
• "Bela mrlja znači da je slatka."

Pitaš likove na tezgi što drže monopol na lubenice, bukvalno te svaki gasira svojom pričom i kune se u grob rođene babe da je njegova slatka ko šećer. Malopre se poslužim tom njihovom logikom i obećanjem, i kući donesem krastavac od 5 kila. Bukvalno nula ukusa.

Koja je vaša naučno dokazana metoda koja vas nikada nije izneverila? Da li je fora u peteljci, šarama, nečemu desetom? Kod mene je selekcija čista kocka, 50-50 šansa da ću kući jesti nešto što ima ukus vlažne maramice.

Godinama gledam ljude kako se lakatiraju u busevima bez klime, skaču jedni po drugima da zatvore prozor i radije biraju masovni toplotni udar i gušenje u soptsvenom smradu... nego da ih dotakne svež povetarac. Nikada u životu nisam padala na ta nepismena bapska sujeverja i balkanske mitove o zloglasnom vetru koji navodno selekivno ubija samo nas Srbe.

Pošto nemamo klimu, a na ovih jebenih 40°C se bukvalno ne živi (staklenik), juče oko 10 uveče sam pootvarala sve prozore u stanu da napravim promaju i malo proluftiram. Naravno, majka je odmah krenula sa standardnim predskazanjima apokalipse i posvađale smo se na krv i nož. Rekla sam joj da ne lupeta i da niko na planeti još nije spakovan u kovčeg zbog j*benog provetravanja. Naravno, isterala sam svoje i ostavila prozore otvorene nekoliko sati da bih mogla da zaspim.

Epilog: Budim se jutros sa paralizovanim vraom. Ukočenost stoprocentna, bol na najmanji trzaj mišića. Bukvalno se okrećem celim gornjim delom tela, jer glavu ne mogu da mrdnem ni za stepen. Pri svakom manjem pokretu imam osećaj da će mi se lobanja samo otkotrljati sa ramena. Ne želim sebi da priznam da je keva bila u pravu jer ću slušati „jesam ti rekla“ do kraja života.

Kontam da promaja nije drevna kletva koja kosi samo nas na Balkanu, pa me zanima kako blago strujanje vazduha uspeva da sjebe čoveka ovako na subanatomskom nivou? Ima li ovde nekog lekara ili biologa da nam otvori oči i objasni naučnu stranu ovog fenomena, kako ne bih mazala rakiju i umotavala vrat listom kupusa ako progovorim reč i priznam poraz.

I know this is a massive shitpost compared to what usually gets uploaded here, and yes, I am thoroughly embarrassed to be writing this. I'm just hoping the mods have mercy on my soul and don't delete it.

Over the past couple of years, I’ve become somewhat of an instant coffee addict. Embarrassing, I know.. but, during work, I have exactly a five-minute window to boil water, rip open a packet, and pour. It’s become my daily survival ritual for getting through mentally draining shifts (even though I actually love my job).

However, it's getting pretty unsustainable financially. And at one point, I was downing 2-3 packets a day and realized I was lining capitalist pockets with my pathetic student budget.

To save money, I recently bought 3 big jars of instant coffee granules instead (different brads). The problem is... it’s been a month, and I cannot for the life of me nail the ratio to make it taste like the packets.

I’ve tried everything. I've switched up milk brands, messed with the water temperature, and even added random ingredients that aren't in the recipe (like a dash of vanilla extract). Still, no luck.

Sooo, I'm turning to you guys... Does anyone know the secret formula to 100% replicate that exact sweet, creamy packet taste using just regular jarred instant coffee? What am I missing here?

Also, I KNOW this stuff is basically chemical radioactive waste compared to real coffee, but I'm hopelessly addicted to the taste. It's not my only coffee fix, but it's my work fuel.
