A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Having fancy china/dish sets for display isn't really a thing the youth is worried about. It used be a social thing, having guests over to eat off (or just see the display) your fancy dinner plate is probably the social equivalent to having the box of 64GB of ram on a shelf above your computer. In other words "yes, we have money and you can shut about it up Aunt Gertrude"
A closed cabinet with glass doors to display what ever you collect is a nice thing to have. The doors help keep dust and cats out.
Who even has people over at all these days?
Who can afford a cat and dust? Privilege reads it's ugly head.
My friend group has been making an effort to have a get-together at someone's house once a month and we have been taking turns hosting. It's been nice.

I have a nice display cabinet for all my pretty rocks. Got them really cheap at an epic hippie crystal joint. The store was full of stones. They're not "jewellery grade", but they still look great and people ask about them. Fuck yeah I love rocks.
I'm probably committing some spiritual crime by putting the citrine next to my amethyst and emerald. I didn't memorise the instruction manual though.
If you have any quartz you can put it by your citrine and amethyst and they will all go nicely together by all being forms of quartz! You could also put some calcite by the amethyst, because amethyst likes to grow next to calcite (something Minecraft got right)
This wording comes across in a very interesting way
Up yours, Gertrude! Er, I mean, up yer Gertrude! :)
