Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.

Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.

Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

Being so stress and depressed these two days, starting to feel physically uncomfortable at chest area. I hope I'm ok.

Anyway how are you guys doing?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I woke up to an fb marketplace listing of mine going viral - 76 views and 11 saves in just a couple of days of relisting. This is a niche camera equipment btw, listed for 5 weeks already.

Sold it yesterday for well below market value. I should have deliberated the buyers offer for a bit longer and wait for offers instead of just saying yes to his lowballing and sell it to him… oh well.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Sorry to hear that... I tend to do that too! Especially when something been sitting around for a while with no bites. We've heard of buyer's regret, I guess this can be called seller's regret, haha

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

maybe i've been desensitised by too many lowballers, the moment someone acts decent I will go out of my way to close the deal...

I will be putting up another camera of mine to flip, essentially 50-70% of pure profit, here's to hoping that the market and its players will treat me nice lol

I swore I've heard of that before, must be a drug, or a condom or something...

Googled it, it's the heartwood of trees.

It sounds a lot like ubat kuat lelaki

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Nice right? That's why I'm willing to wait for it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Was driving and the AWD failed and I drove home with just FWD haha.

When I got home it fixed itself and I have AWD again.

Why are testicular implants a thing?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Guess it's to fill the gap after removing a cancerous testicle, and not purely for aesthetic purpose.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Ah interesting! That makes more sense

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So the lone testis has a friend...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Takes two to test tickle

What's the English version of "dapat betis nak peha?" 🤔

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Give them an inch and they will take a yard/mile? Quite wordy I know.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

I looked it up and the strangest result appears: camel's nose.

Apparently it's a Victorian era, and Victorian made, idiom about an Arabian idiom of letting just the camel's nose in the tent, which eventually results in the entire camel being under it.

I also first thought of that Chinese proverb, which is literally "get an inch, advance to a foot".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, dunno which based on which, both is being used widely

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Literal? Get calf, want thigh

Figurative? Hmm... maybe 'Wants a ton for an ounce?'
