Ask Lemmy

Trump is probably on the list, so he has to protect that. The Democrats had it during their entire presidency; even if they didn't want turmoil during their time in office, they could have released it after their presidential defeat and before Trump took office.

I'm trying to find a fairly recent thread where someone was asking about Kindle alternatives. I tried the search functionality within Sync and then I tried duck duck go, mentioning lemmy in my search keywords but no joy. Is there a better way to search, or can anyone dig out the thread for me?

Just watching it with my kid and I have the feeling Sky is the most called pup. Can you confirm with numbers?

Original question by @Justathroughdaway@lemmy.world

I've been sitting on this question for a while, but got inspired to post by the Wikipedia question.

Mine varies from like 4 to -5, with random flucturations into -7 to -8. I'd say it averages out at like -1.

Not something I thought of a lot when I was back in US since USA is... a pretty bureaucratic name by all means. But I just realized that some countries have really fascinating names in their local language

Original question by @loomy@lemy.lol

It seems like a weird question, but other than a couple of users who I recognize on Lemmy, the rest seems to be robotic.

I live in Hong Kong and it feels like most American fast food here involves oil and deep fried food. Then I remembered at one point HK local fast food were full of MSGs.

Check your web history for "wikipedia", what are the most recent 5-10 Wikipedia pages you have read?

What works for you and how does it work? How long have you been using it?

(As a general concept of how a society should run, not intended as a US-specific question.)

First, don't tell me that the answer is just to "not bottle things up", because that's objectively incorrect too. Society doesn't want you to have any negative emotions. I need to know how to not express negative emotions at all whatsoever unless I'm alone. I know it can be done because it is done in many other people on the planet.

I was talking to a friend and complaining that the nearest grocery store is 3km from me, he says that Europeans consider that a reasonable distance to the store and I'm just being lazy.

Recently my goto crypto market/broker started promoting TRUMP and it's got me cringing so much that I want to move all my BTC permanently off the platform, but I also don't really dig the idea of local storage since it would be good to have in an emergency if I ever found myself stranded overseas.

Original question by @HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml

Not friends, only "rivals"

No names, just their "character"

I usually do this every night when I'm about to sleep, and also during times when I want to decompress from the barrage of notifications. Sure, DND mode is a thing but I really enjoy the feeling of being unreachable sometimes. Having it on DND still makes you receive the notifications. It's also easier than turning your phone on and off. Regarding emergencies, I really don't have any situations where it'd be so pressing for me to react immediately to something. And either way I'd never sleep having volume/vibration enabled from calls.

I got together with the wrong person. That woman cost me $15k in 3 months, burned through all of my savings for her amusement and made me take a $6k loan for furniture and a flat. Lemmings, what’s your sad story?

Pretty much the title. Put slightly differently: for those of you who are financially surviving by just a razor thin margin, how are you managing to scrape by?

Ok Lemmings look, I love life and I love my family, so I'd hate to have to blow my fucking brains out. So what's another strategy for tuning out this incessant lava chicken?

I'm thinking somewhere between Reservation Dogs and maybe Fargo

There's an ever-growing amount of music available today, a few taps (or clicks) away. I for one feel like there's a lot of great music in many genres and styles, coming from many countries, and in many languages. And there's always new, interesting stuff coming out regularly.

This might just be a US thing, I don't know. But it seems like if I want to fly somewhere, the cheapest option is to choose the nonstop flight. If I pick a flight with a layover it always costs more.

If you have investments, let’s treat those as liquid cash for the sake of argument. Otherwise, the assumption is that you’re not selling property or possessions, but continuing to live as you do now.

Seriousely how many of you do that? Sincearly a european

I dont, because I dont feel like getting correxted by a fucjing program. So whay if I make a lotvof typos?

Besides those singing bowl things.

Original question by @DominatorX1@thelemmy.club

As per title, I am curious. How does your mind / your thoughts work? I only ever experienced my own thoughts, so I'm curious how it works for other people.

I like the Dreamworks theme

Very very mysterrrrious

Like some kind of fantasy Game Thrones-esque Chernobyl or something?

Holmes Family Rescue

I love the Bajooie Kazooie egypt-inspired level and music

Hi lemmings!

So like, how does Lemmy work?

Pardon me if these questionings are offensive in any way. That is not my intention. I am merely curious on the intricacies of the N-word and its uses.

Situation: I got a scanned book that I'd like to read that is in chinese and has no available translation. I really want to read it, because it would probably help a lot with my university project.

Original question by @GrumpyDuckling@sh.itjust.works

The only website I know of is Icon Archive, any others?

I was thinking not pron style of game with difficult riddles, puzzles and lateral thinking solutions that I can play from my phone. I’m willing to pay (once) for a well developed game though.

Kinda like glacier glasses and except no physical impediment to viewing angle or perspective, just deliberate shading

TNO = trans neptunian object, basically far out dwarf planet

Have you ever formed a friendship here?

I kinda wanna see an alt-history TV show where every technology gets developed but then technology stagnates around the internet era and the internet (in the current form) never gets developed.

Mine is using the arrow keys to navigate typed text while writing and editing. It helps speed things up, versus having to move your hand to the mouse to navigate.

An Anti Hero is basically a good guy who is kinda bad, or does good things for bad reasons. Deadpool's a classic example of an Anti Hero

🅱️there many more mystiques under yet the same sun?

Apple has a nasty habit of getting suicidal with your files when you delete their shit and I'm concerned it might do that lol

Surely some good important things came from Alabama, what are they?

Only answer if its not already up please, worst case scenario its already posted so just leave your comment below the top level album name :)

Please go into lots of detail - some of us are taking notes!

Personally I contribute to/pay to support my instances and clients far more than development and I feel a bit guilty for that.

Original question by @Justathroughdaway@lemmy.world

Restoration, absolution, closure, sanctuary,

i've noticed that a lot of the content on my lemmy feed seems to be centered around lgbtq+ topics, which I'm not really interested in. i'm not looking to debate or criticize anyone's identity, but I'd like to see a broader range of topics that align more with my preferences. i'm already subscribed to those instances but somehow that sort of content keeps on creeping in.

Title

I understand the historical significance since the nationalists retreated to Taiwan at the end of the Chinese Civil War.

Such as counterintuitive fixes to a problem, or where a mistake unexpectedly results in an even better outcome than originally hoped for.
