Mine are as follows:

1. Getting chased by a Saint Mary statue that was made like a greek statue and 30 feet tall. She was stomping the hell out of the grounds.
2. Getting chased by a chuckie doll.
3. Watching a demon little girl eat a human bone like it was popeye's chicken fresh out the oil. She looked hungry. I was like just staring. O_O

Anyway what are yours?

I know it's been asked too much, but we've come a long way. Curious to see everything from the fullest trajectories/journeys to short wacky simples.

Why your instance, platform? What keeps you there? Are you a piefed PWA enjoyer? A traditional browser lemmy diehard? Do you refuse to use any front-end that isn't blorpblorp or has some invaluable feature like tesseract/alexandrite? I think there are even a few who only mobile voyager or ??(whatever that other popular one is...apollo maybe?) Curious to know what future options lie on the near future's horizon too

I admit I have trialed many but go back to plain browser more than not tho 😆

PS: I can't remember if these posts in anyway get federated out to other platforms like mastodon or what not, but would still be interested in their respective answers too

What happened after you left? Do you still have ties with your family? Did people bother you to try and make you come back?

I have 25GB-ish left on my steam deck. I like to save space for saves and stuff, so im looking for a game under 20.

Whats a fun small-med sized game youve been playing?

EDIT!!
Awesome suggestions so far everyone. I picked up the following games right now:

Farcry Primal
Far: Lone Sails (one short playthru expected)
Mina the Hollower
Animal Well
Streets of Rogue
Curse of Pirates

I'm saving this post for future use

questo è il mio primo post qui... cosa si posta qui su feddit.it?

I was thinking about this. I went to university, and I worked in tech for decades. I met many assholes but I didn't meet anyone that would fit on the left half of the bell curve (less than 100 iq).

Since I've been living in that bubble my entire life, I'm curious of your stories. Have you met someone who was actually quite dumb (not just having opinions you don't agree with) and do you have an example situation you remember you can share?

Hopefully this becomes more funny than hateful since intelligence is not the value of a person, but it can be funny to read the stories.

Obviously you can kind of but its extremely difficult (for those pedantic commentators I foresee)

I'm referring to xkcd 2347, the case where a small and oftentimes hobbyist project end up being fundamental to an entire sector

This obviously happens a lot in FOSS, but I'm wondering if this happens to, say, your personal hobbies or things that matter to you?

Asking because this has just happened to one of my hobbies two days ago. The maintainer of a very important web server for the entire community suddenly announced on X that they would shut down the server on May 31 Japanese time. Since the web server was so important, the community has already organized and nearly completed an organized web scrape of the entire server, less than 36 hours from when the news was announced (and 1-2 days before it would have been shut down)

I’m talking about derogatory terms like “nerd,” “geek,” “wise-ass,” and so on, as well as sayings like “nobody likes a smart aleck.”

It seems to me that these terms and expressions are used much more frequently in the business world than derogatory terms like “show-off,” “charlatan,” “fraud,” and so on.

I can’t even think of a commonly used saying for the latter. Only: “Fake it till you make it,” which is really more of a reinforcement of the idea that knowledge isn’t very valuable.

Is it just my impression?

I’ve noticed that lots of videos on social media and on YouTube, specifically the Shorts, have this strange filter on them that makes them look AI generated. Even videos that I’ve seen before without the filter and know are authentic because they were created before people could make realistic AI videos.

Do you think this is intentionally done by content creators and/or the companies themselves to make AI content more easily accepted?

[solved] https://patrickgpt.com/

Its with a star trek TNG character called something with g like gerry or geronimo (but not those two i think) and the website url was something like {g-name}gpt.{tld}
Main point: it answers to any question with "thats a stupid question"

Ideally the answers aren't just political soapboxing.

For me it was doing just a few minutes of HIIT a day. It boosted my energy levels a lot and reduced my blood pressure by about 5 points.

As someone who is currently still in education for their degree looking at the current (and likely future) economic and societal outlook, it seems like employment in fields that cause/perpetuate negative issues in the world (Big Tech/Military-Industrial Complex, industries contributing to climate change, predatory sales/financial firms) continue to maintain strong employment availability and salaries as time goes on.

However, fields that have a neutral or beneficial impact on society and the world (Medical care, Food service, public infrastructure, humanitarian aid work, environmental research), either don't have enough available positions that people are able to transition into, have worsening working conditions due to poor management or limited resources, or just don't pay a living wage to most who work there.

I've read about the broken window fallacy, and I understand how focusing on personal gain without considering the impacts on the wider picture doesn't make for a better world. But can someone feel justified contributing to the "broken windows" of the world knowing that they weren't presented functional alternative pathways, and try to contribute towards the solution in other ways?

I'm considering rewatching GoT and am not sure how many seasons to skip.

I know that I'm watching 1-5 and that I'm skipping 8, but since it's been a long time and my memory isn't great, I'm kind of on the fence wrt 6 and 7.

Which seasons would you include, and why?

Like signs you've noticed specifically about you. I've noticed that I want to grow my hair out when I'm about to crash out. My hair is so awful when it's long and I always regret growing it.

I read people say online that Americans are loud. What does this mean, exactly? Is it literal volume or is it our personality/presentation? Something else?

I may be moving to Australia because of my wife’s job, and I want to better understand this. I want to assimilate and I don’t want to be annoying. I’m personally pretty low key and listen more than speak, but this is my perception of myself.

fuck I'm not in the right headspace when I'm asking this, unresolved trauma. Now I'm repeating in my head "love them more than my mental illnesses".

I wanted to warn an organization i cared about my past and that manipulation comes naturally to me to the point where I don't notice after the fact. I legit want see them succeeded and stand in blind solidarity.

I have reached out someone in the organization about my issues. I'm hoping they respond.
