Questions, answers and conversations

No punch line

Anecdotally, most current or former homeschooled kids I meet seem pretty socially awkward. I wonder if It’s because the miss-out on the opportunity to learn how to socialize properly as children. But maybe I’m being too critical, idk.

I am prepared to cry if need be

5h on smartphone feels way worse than 5h on PC.

Whenever I see a comment on social media that I think is wrong, I feel the need to correct it. These arguments can go on for days, even weeks, and if I don’t win the argument, I get overly fixated on it, wondering where I went wrong and so on.

Also curious about things that are the other way around where they look really good but taste awful.

Long ago, I created a test YouTube account to experiment with the recommendation algorithm. I’ve already put it through some wild scenarios, but now I’m trying something new: I’m subscribing to every channel that asks me to. No exceptions, even if the channel sucks.

New idea for a community on lemmy called Jiminee cricket were the first comment is my voice of consciousness.

Commonly heard in the crime genre that involves money laundering, as most would hide their stash over there either in actual cash or digital monetary transfers. It’s only an island nation within the Caribbean, the thing is: why is it treated like a Swiss Bank of some sort? As in, either elites or those on the run would hide their funds in Cayman Islands.

I’m planning to keep mine for at least 10 years before I upgrade.

Often, in discussions about old movies, someone will say, “That movie couldn’t be made today.”, and inevitably someone else will disagree.

For me, it’s an electric toothbrush. It doesn’t matter if you go with Sonicare or Oral-B, once you start using an electric toothbrush, regular toothbrushes don’t ever feel like they clean your teeth properly. The smooth plaque-free top layer of your teeth that you can feel after using an electric toothbrush can’t be replicated with a regular toothbrush.

EDIT:

Lawyers, platform moderation, and SEO have wiped it out. What’s left is boring drivel whose only purpose is to sell you a product or a course or avoid a lawsuit. I realize some have moved to private groups and there are still sites if you look hard enough. But is that enough?

I recognize there is a massive anti incarnation argument (in the US). I agree with many of the points and reasons I’ve heard. That said, murderers, child molesters etcetera are still gonna exist to some degree no matter what. So, without incarnation, what are some options?

Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. None of these nations have an minimim hourly wage enshrined in law. Instead many of the base terms of employment, including wages, are decided via collective bargaining between sector trade unions and representatives of public sector and business interest organizations.

All the piracy subs I can find are dead, quiet, or too niche. I’d love to be part of an effort to bring reliable and maintained information about how to safely pirate to lemmy. It’s actually one of the most frustrating things about switching from reddit. Are we puritanical here or something? If we had active piracy scenes I pretty much wouldn’t have to be on reddit at all anymore.

What was it like having family members in another town? I can imagine even an hour car ride would have seemed much more daunting as requesting roadside assistance took much more effort.

I want to upload multiple images within one post. Is that possible to do using Lemmy?

My roommate only washes up if he poops, never after peeing. Now every time I’m in any of the common areas I have to wash my hands after touching anything I haven’t wiped down. Thus, I wash my hands twice every time I use the bathroom; once as normal and again in the kitchen because I touched the taps, light switch and door handle in the bathroom which likely have groin sweat on them… /rant

What would you do if you had a month to prepare? Not only will you not have internet, no one will.

A lot of technical folks are saying it’s a large upgrade for networking.

Many people including myself have desired a more varied all feed.

Is there a place on these platforms were you can post old news..? . like it is important to understand the here and now, like a carrot on a stick but is there a place to reflect and look at old shit

Something I was thinking about in the car today, shuffling through songs that glorify The Hustle, talk about how money is all that matters…It got me wondering if there’s too much media that tells us that working ourselves to death is the only way to live.

Especially getting older, I do this a lot more. Looking at things I want to do that ive been putting off, for example. If I have the money, I’m doing it. Now I’m not going full Yes Man on it, but I much prefer living like this. You could very easily die tomorrow so you should do everything you want to while you can, basically.

Following two persons advice, I’ve got some oat milk to put in my coffee. They both said they prefer it to milk.

Ignoring the massive cost, legal hurdles, and the opinion of the residents/government/outside powers, if you could magically grant independence to certain territories or form new bigger nations from existing ones with no repercussions to yourself, what new countries would you create?

Basically subject. I’ve been following my kid through two clubs over the last few years and there are just a few tools I think the coaches are lacking. One is drill and plan organization, the other is wellness before games (data science). I’ve been working on an android app for a while now and it’s just about to the point where I need coaches to tell me what’s wrong with it, or what they like about it.

I’m in two DnD campaigns, different people. I’ve always felt the table in campaign N.1 has a very “American Chopper” energy, maybe the “woman yelling at cat +american chopper” meme mashup could be a great way to describe it. Chaos, mess, heated arguments, flying chairs, unfinished dinners, it’s perfect.

This might be a weird question, but I always thought that when I walked with only my socks on it felt somehow off when I was at my work place in the office. It does not only feel weird in my head but also the way they touch the ground. Like I somehow forgot how to properly walk.

I mean, the 100 USD bill is NOT the highest valued bill in the world, that belongs to the former B$10000 bill (withdrawn) from Brunei (I’m serious, this exists) which is worth $7874 and yes it’s a single bill, also converting to around £5803 & 6677€ respectively. Like why does this bill even exist when it’s hard to encounter, given that Brunei is a petro-state, it comes as no surprise.

First of all. This is not an insult to the web developers. I live in Nepal where most of the job vacancies are for fronted/backend developers. Even through referees I only get web dev related roles for intern. Every path leads to rome here.

I’ve never seen anyone else do this either irl or in a video but I’m sure lots of people do it. When I make a grilled cheese I mayo both slices then put both slices in the pan at the same time rather than stacked in sandwich form so it takes half the time to cook and I don’t need to flip it.

I bought an LG C3 in 2023 and since then, I never updated it. I decide to updated it like 2 weeks ago, and, after the update, I noticed that, if I set HDMI Deep Color to 4k, almost all the clarity settings are grayed out, including the TrueMotion I’m interested in (I like it on Cinematic Movement).

I don’t. But I’d like to see if any of you do.

And why?

I’m from the Netherlands.

I like that when someone creates a community, It usually just becomes a diary for them being able to post what they wanna see, I think we could all be nicer to each other in these trying times

Summer is in full power here in Kerala, India. Concrete radiating heat and rooms are hot even at night.

My husband and I went to an exhibition about the solar system at our local natural history museum. There was also an exhibition for children about the human body with really good explanations how genes work, how our ear works, stuff like that.

I have a fairly old XBox Series X that is for a while unplugged from power and Ethernet. Since buying it in 2020 I’ve been radicalized into running Linux on everything, and if not Linux, then at least a FOSS OS. Did enough time was passed to be able to root the device/dual boot? Any distro support XBox’s hardware?

Something feels off today, any reason?

If I ever have enough money, I’m thinking of setting up my own small server and migrating Lemmy to I2P. A Lemmy instance with the same features, but running on a completely free and anonymous network. Everything will be allowed except for moderation regarding serious topics and spam. It’s a nice thought, even just imagining it.

Question comes as a kind of addition to one I asked awhile back. It was about having met a truly evil person. I can tell the story again if anyone is interested but as a young teen I interacted with a guy in the Aryan brotherhood from California several times.

For me, I like the replacement TMR Joy-Con sticks by Gulikit that feel smoother and will last longer. I also have a Gulikit KK3 Max controller, which feels comfortable to use while being relatively repairable

For me it’s:

hello everyone

Similar to the “Personal Voice” feature of iOS 17+, except that it allows you to load any audio file from the device. Can a such feature be implemented on a device (e.g. phones) if disclaimers are added? Just like the iOS feature cloning happens locally rather than in the cloud .

I use a saddle stitch.

I’m looking for someone who may have had a similar problem and can tell me how they resolved it. Specifically, I ordered a WD Red 500GB SSD for 70 euros from amazon.de on January 5, 2026. The first delivery date was between February and March 9, but the product wasn’t delivered. By then, the price had already jumped to 150 euros. I called customer service and spoke to their chat support, who told me the new delivery date is April 22 — but that doesn’t show in the app. The app only shows ’order received,’ and I’m afraid they’ll miss this second deadline as well. Can I do anything without canceling the order, given that the price is now 250 euros?

I mean, democracy was conceptualized and began in what is now present day Greece back in Ancient times (when most nations were still ruled by monarchies) and the fact that the original nations who had democratic values are the UK or France (as they were real countries whom existed before the USA even became a country of its own).

Probably limit to the us for feasibility: i want to find out about regional products but also have a chance of getting interesting ones.

I had a weird thing happen that kind of fucked me up. I haven’t cried or been able to cry since. Lost a close relative and I saw another explain what happened (it was particularly sad). When he was explaining he started to begin tearing up but swallowed and stone faced. He finished explaining and I haven’t been able to cry since. For clarity, I’ve never had a problem showing emotions or crying. I used to cry at inspirational stuff or sad stuff. Its been around six months now. So when’s the last time you cried? Maybe hearing some stuff will loosen me up.

My parents required me to let these two men join me on my solo trip in order for me to be allowed to go. They’re really cool, fun, and honestly attractive. I flirt with them, and they flirt back, it’s more of a playful game, but they told me they’d never actually do anything with me because it would be unethical/unprofessional, and my dad would probably kill them, lol. I respect that, but at the same time, they’re ex-legionnaires, I’m sure they’ve done questionable things in their lives. I’m curious what you think from an ethical perspective.

The TikTok and Pinterest trend called the “old money aesthetic” is just a really fancy or classy lifestyle. It’s basically a preppy, Ivy League, business-casual style, and these clothes are things regular people can also buy. They have a bunch of them at Walmart, and you can get them on Amazon.

Like using music from a video game/film in a video that isn’t published on the internet, or using it as a ringtone in phones, or using voice lines from a video game as notification sounds. (There are a lot of other uses that I won’t mention here)

Explanation: The crime rate statistic shows the number of registered crimes divided by the number of registered residents in a country or area. “Registered” is important here!

I made a post asking specifically for DC fans their opinions. The people who responded aren’t actual fans—they’re just people who think they are fans but have never picked up a comic in their life. My question is: why do non-fans try so hard to engage with real fans?? You aren’t a real fan of DC, Marvel, or anything superhero-related, so you don’t deserve to be in the fandom space.

Let’s take a moment to look at what’s going right. What’s made you laugh or smile recently? No matter how big or small it is, we want to hear about it!

Many of the existing mods have become inactive and the Lemmy.world community team asked me to step in as an active member.

Hello. I thought I could use my Lemmy login details to log into PieFed, but it isn’t working and had to create a separate account. Can you please clarify?

Unchained at Last is a nonprofit organization advocating against marriage under 18 in the US. For anyone wanting to keep up with the US’ progress (it’s been slow these last couple years) or possible regressions in your state/territory (if you live here; hi!), they maintain the best resource there is. It not only lists the current status but also the legislative status per-state/territory (e.g. if a relevant bill is in the legislature and details about it).

Most days I’ll scroll through the All feed and read posts of interest. If I come back an hour or so later and start scrolling again, I’ll see the same posts in the same order, even though I’ve set my Lemmy app Voyager to hide posts automatically if I scroll past them.

So I’m planing making a new personal email, but I don’t I don’t know how it should be! examples: DennisBusey@mail.com DennisB@mail.com DBusey@mail.com Gime your ideas!
