Funny because “American” isn’t even a language.

Then it should be even easier to unionize

I've noticed that lemmy as a whole is much more leftist than reddit (outside of political servers of course) by _finger_ in c/[email protected]

The super rich are usually highly educated but they live in such a homogenous bubble that they’re opinions on the majority of society should be entirely discounted. They usually have a total lack of empathy for people and vote for politicians with the same attitude. I have met some super rich people who try very hard to go against the grain and not fall into that mindset, but something about the need for protecting your money and lifestyle usually promotes an untrustworthy and skeptical view of everyone in their lives including their own family.

How some people afford to travel around the world for months without working? by _finger_ in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 34 points 2 years ago

It’s rich kids living off of daddy’s money i.e. trust fund babies (trust funds are their own separate thing but you can look that up). It’s not like these people were working as a food server then one day decided to travel the world and make videos about it. They needed a nice financial cushion in order to do that. There are exceptions, but it takes a lot of capital to start your own brand, promote it, pay for the traveling expenses, and somehow get a return.

In-N-Out Burger bans employees from wearing masks unless they have a doctor's note by _finger_ in c/[email protected]

It’s not bizarre at all, it’s typical attitudes of conservative bull-headed contrarian trolls like always.

Does anyone enjoy intimate kissing scenes in movies? by _finger_ in c/[email protected]

I’m fine with them, except for this one

Is jellyfish vegan? by _finger_ in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago

Don’t most plants sense light and interact with their environment?

Tardigrades have been observed reacting defensively to danger, even offensively. I know they’re not plants, but do they feel pain? What about brine shrimp?

Jellyfish are super weird because they really blur the lines between plant/animal. It’s a really interesting question to ask honestly.

The app worked, you got to know her true colors rather quickly. Imagine putting up with passive aggressive shit like that your whole life, or even for a night.

So, like a Bus, or Train? by _finger_ in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 27 points 2 years ago

Imagine if trains were nice in the US. Riding Amtrack feels like riding in a 20 year old Pepsi can

In a recent thread asking for top five movies, my comment was added to another user’s post but weirdly they’re comment was VERY similar to mine. Then my exact same comment was added to ANOTHER user’s post. I’m now sure if this is an issue with the Memmy app or Lemmy I general, but the fact that my original comment was confused with another very similar comment is pretty sus. Why would this happen? Is it a coincidence?

Yeah!... No uh pooping! by _finger_ in c/[email protected]

The first original site-wide Lemmy meme is about holding your poop. We should be proud

Are we using Lemmy correctly? (lemmy.world)

What I think could make Lemmy superior to Reddit is the ability to create themed-instances that are all linked together which feels like the entire point. I've noticed that a lot of instances are trying to be a catch-all Reddit replacement by imitating specific subs which is understandable given the circumstances but seems like it's not taking advantage of the full power that Lemmy could have.

Imagine for a moment that instances were more focus-based. Instead of having communities that are all mostly unrelated we had entire instances that are focused on one specific area of expertise or interest. Imagine a LOTR instance that had many sub-communities (in this case "communities" would be the wrong way to look at it, it would be more like categories) that dealt with different subjects in the LOTR universe: books, movies, lore, gaming, art, etc all in the same instance.

Imagine the types of instances that could be created with more granular categories within to better guide conversations: Baseball, Cars, Comics, Movies, Tech etc.

A tech instance could have dedicated communities for news, programming, dev, IT, Microsoft, Apple, iOS, linux. Or you could make it even more granular by having a dedicated instance for each of those because there's so many categories that could be applied to each.

What are your thoughts?
