    “Established spice collection building”, What? The only thing I can think of that would contribute to this is I got Orange Blossom water once, and canisters for loose tea. I haven’t even gotten a coffee or spice grinder, not even a pepper mill.

    This is the only thing that isn’t “likely interested in electronics [because I buy some niche parts off amazon]” or “likely uses [brand of phone I have occasionally bought screen protectors for]”

    Aaaaaand it’s wrong! So, a little disappointed there. Was hoping for something super judgemental. Man though, it’d be interesting to see what this service would make of my lemmy profile…
