  I think more of them will just quit using reddit and not come here either.

  When you want to sign up for lemmy, there are questions and questions are friction. That feels easy for us because obviously we did it, we picked an instance, we got our approvals, we’re here, but I’ve seen it firsthand trying to get people to use lemmy and for a lot of types of people that you would want for establishing more variety in communities, that initial friction is more than enough to drive them away.

  Reddit doesn’t even make you pick a username, they’ve gone almost as far as you could with making account creation frictionless. If we want to stay in our echo chamber with everyone who thinks that’s not a big deal then someone else who solves that friction is probably going to eventually be the real reddit replacement. Seriously y’all, know it’s been awhile, but people were picking discord as an alternative to reddit to move to instead of lemmy during the apicalypse and they barely even compare.

  “Low Marks Again” - Fyodor Pavlovich Reshetnikov

  I’m not 100% sure the scribble that looks like a signature is related I think someone may have just doodled on the image, doesn’t seem to be present on the original painting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨: Do people who were blind from birth see anything in their dreams, or is it just audio and textures?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Actually, now that I think about it, kind of but mostly no. Things that happen in the waking world get incorporated into my dreams, but in my actual dreams, I mostly just tell myself I heard something, but I don’t actually hear it in the moment. I.e., if I hear music, it’s more like I’m reciting the lyrics in my head and working backwards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In some heavy Muslim countries women seems always to wear a black hijab and get in trouble for not wearing one. Why don't they wear colorful ones or with slogans? Is black all to wear?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The point of the hijab is effectively to not draw extra attention to yourself. Colors and patterns are pretty common in less strict countries though.

  Slogans and logos are kind of problematic for somewhat similar reasons but companies like Adidas have been trying real hard for years to make it work. There’s also a drive that Islamic things specifically should not follow western ideals, and that could be the most western thing we’ve ever done.

  It’s hyperbole in an attempt to weaponize methheads. But yeah, go grab a few and test it, maybe we weaponize meme skeptics too.

  Man, no trying, it’s past and present tense now, doing and successfully did.

  Believe he was planning to fuck and snort his way through Bogota. Either that or staying cool somewhere else.

  They’ve trained on static knowledge at a point in time. Their ability to ‘learn’ and adapt is mostly just fancy tricks with hidden context and the ability to Google.

  Almost lost them too.

  Normally, I’d be like “Boo sealioning”, but yeah, I want to hear about some examples.

  I’ve yet to see any other brand consistently compare. Every once in awhile you’ll get a one off where its like “Yeah, good job” but there’s so many reviews out there of copycat bricks that start with some variations of “Of course, the quality doesn’t compare to Lego”.

  50/50 this dude is super attractive and has never had to learn any better. I knew several of these in college. This has worked for them.

  I googled it and this is actually a crazy rabbithole to dive into.

  No one really knows 100% for sure who this girl is or where she came from and everything is just guessing and whatever is actually in press releases. A lot of people seems to think her dad owns a restaurant, this seems to be very controversial for some reason. It does sound like the secrecy is pretty common in the industry though.

  I know the false one is toxic and fatal… But is it also delicious? We need to know.

  Mine smells lightly of peanut butter and rotting compost. It’s not strong and you can’t smell him unless you get real close. I honestly kind of like it now.

  Also, can’t forget that those concerns come back when maintaining the panels. Along with the additional precautions needed to account for foot/other traffic.

  It sucks though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Star Trek writing just depends on making sure the main characters have exactly the right hairstyle. They tried real hard to find it in Discovery, maybe with a few more seasons we would have got there.

  I feel like I’d break a rule somehow if I explicitly linked you to it, but literally just google exactly what you just asked me.

  You’ll even get reviews / people talking about the best ones to use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ShitpostID: 4185519047⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It is incredibly easy to buy likes / posts / etc, if it was entirely bots, that’s only like $50.

  Kinda worrying that you can push basically whatever narrative you want very cheaply on any social media.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would you ever call your son a disappointment?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is some really heavy parenting. I hope I’d never have to, but if it was warranted it would be very important that it was actionable. I.e., I’m disappointed in you because you’re doing [x] and you need to do [y]. It’s my job as a parent in this situation to communicate why and how to do better.

  Not a wearable, but I have an air quality monitor hooked up in my office and those usually trigger VOC alerts.

  I do the same. Putting the most calorie dense food on the least. It’s just an edible spoon at that point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's all SO simple!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  People should be wary of voluntarily fasting for more than a day or two. Can be fine, but can also lead to lasting complications, may be too late by the time you feel bad. Ramadan/etc usually only involve intermittent fasting spread out over a period of time.

  Celery is probably the best we got and it kinda sucks and I think maybe I’d rather die.
