Someone robbed all the power banks from our local Lidl

Was hoping to get one for the winter just in case of a power cut. Every single box ripped open and left.

Asked the staff just in case they were keeping them behind the till and they just said “yeah..” and shrugged 🤷🏻‍♂️

You've heard of Rage Against the Machine, well here's...

Got an ad for this lot on my instagram. I must have triggered the algorithm by using the word 'honk' in my search terms too often. These lads all seem to be about 17, are touring Ireland on a anti-abortion jolly.

My mom got bullied by some random teenagers.

My mom has been living in Ireland for 10 years and this is the first time that she had encountered this.

She just finished work and was waiting for the the green line luas, she sits on the chair because of the heavy rain pour, before she sits down, she already saw that they were bullying another girl, my mom was minding her own business and all of a sudden they started harassing her, they blow they’re vapes in front of her face and started being racist, my mom took the right action by not attacking them or doing anything back to them instead she took a video of it, and they look so proud even after all of that, they look so young as she said, and when the luas was there, she told the luas driver that they were bullying other passengers, and the driver took action by giving a warning to the kids.

This isn’t a provocation about the Teenagers/Kids, however it is a warning to all of the people out there, please take the right action and be the person who can standup for someone, and I hope that the parents who sees this please educate your children and lead them to the right path.

Creativity and Tinkering are dying with the cost of living imposed by goverment and EU tax

I was planning to fix my phone's screen after it fell. Very easy to do yourself, btw. But when I checked the price for a replacement screen, it made more sense to get a new phone.

€60 for the screen itself, plus €10 for the special tape/glue that attaches it to your phone. That's fucking crazy for a 5-year-old phone that’s now worth at most €190.

The EU really fucked Europeans when they added additional tax for all non-EU orders. Instead of preventing waste, it's creating more.

I know it's just €3, but you have the €2 charge from AnPost, the delivery charge, and VAT.

And yes, I know most people aren't buying repair parts. But these prices are killing hobbyists.

Warning re booking.com

I just got a WhatsApp alerting me to check in to my hotel booking via the link on the WhatsApp. It has my name, the hotel name and the dates I'm due there, on the second page of the link is a place to put my bank card details.

When i made my booking on booking.comI'm booked to pay via paypal a couple of days before im due to check-in.

The name on the WhatsApp is myG so i took a look at the profile and its a +91 number which is the international code for India.

Obviously i didn't put any details in the link they sent, and have ignored the message but for anyone who isn't aware of this scam i just wanted to share it.

Did you know Billy Roll is based on a newspaper comic strip that ran between 1951 and 1953. It's true*

*not actually true. Just thought it'd be a fun concept to draw.
