When we christen cars, instruments, and the other important possessions in our lives, we interact with them differently—and we may be more likely to appreciate them.

  • Awww, thats such a lovely idea

    • I agree. Do you name household objects?

      • Some of them. I was gonna upload a picture but its gotten VERY difficult to do on mobile with either of my instances :(

        My snake plant is named fettuccine, my car is named hornet after the character from hollow knight, and my ebike will eventually be named midna when I finish the project 😅

        • Shame about the uploading of pictures, I would've loved to see that!

          Fettucine is a great name for a snake plant.

          • Thanks ☺️ at some point I need to find a good solution for posting from mobile cause I wanna contribute to content but not being able to upload to lemmy directly has made that so much harder. I was just hoping to only need open source stuff and I think I'll probably need to use the official imgur website or app, cause the only open source one doesn't seem to be working for uploading pictures. We'll see
