A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity 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 [email protected] or [email protected]. 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 [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

A variety of neat activities and educational pages.

My goodness. I love this website's activities and educational pages. I really should be studying right now, but here are a few of my favorites so far.

Plenty more to check out!

I feel like 35 is too young to have completed 51/66 tasks in the life checklist. I'm too young for a midlife crisis (fingers crossed, anyways)!

Yeah, I feel like it's heavily skewed towards the beginning of life, but tbf I feel like the cool things you do later in life are harder to quantify? Could add things like:

I'm trying to think of how to quantify a "Have 0 debt" option but like, post mortgage or something.
Establish a friend group
Hang out with at least one member of that friend group for 5 / 10 / 15 years
Go to an interesting location as part of your job (conventions count)
See a historical human-made artifact in person
See a legitimate dinosaur bone in person (not cast)
Visit your country's capital
Create a piece of art and enter it into something that has it be viewed by people outside your family / friends

56/74, little better now.

The have 0 debt one in your context would be like "pay off your mortgage" or for mortgage+ "pay off your mortgage early".

Maybe a "get sued for ethical reasons and win" (refused to allow a small business to defraud me, they tried to sue me and then backed off when they read my defense).

Have a humbling experience with a stranger.

The list also assumes that you'll have children which isn't really on the cards for some people (voluntary or involuntary) and cuts out the possibility of doing a huge chunk of that list.

That space elevator was really engaging and interesting!!
