I think for me, the internet would have to be totally eclipsed by the enshittification process, for me to revise how I use it and what for. I’ve been online for 28 years now and I am beginning to slow down more and more as time goes on. I used to have been a community seeker, an explorer and a very curious person....

If you couldn’t tell, via the question title, I’m encouraging that this thread be usable/perceivable as a megathread. As much as I love Lemmy, I can sympathize with those who would benefit from megathreads, maybe even a megathread-dominant existence like on TV Tropes, although this site has none of those. You can post on...

Why do people make the “smooching” noise when kissing? It seems like it takes at least a little intentional effort to make that noise. Is it weird to make out but not make the noise?

I can’t figure out how to view a threads user profil in lemmy.world and I’m starting to wondering if this is not a problem of compatibility with lemmy. Maybe I should try again from the twittoverse…

So our neighbors have been a growing problem for a few months now. They seem to be a flop house for six or seven people, most of them look high all day. They go out and Rev a Harley at 3am, they burn plastic been our houses in a fire pit, they have a new dog every two weeks because they keep getting out and getting hit by...

Mine right now off the top of my head is Adam Savage, former co-host of Mythbusters years ago. I sometimes watch his Tested videos whenever he answers questions and he answers them very thoughtfully. A lot of his thoughts, takes and answers based on his experiences and point of view on life and career has helped me be more...

Could anyone recommend me some good boots that have good arch support that wont give me blisters. I have flat feet (no arch at all) and regular shoes give me blisters and hurt my legs because they don’t support my non arched feet. I’ve had much better luck with boots but the brand I usually buy from Amazon (northwest) no...

I feel my Canadian friends use the right amount while my American friends are too conservative.

I’m looking for a portable SSD drive for my Macbook Pro. It’s an older model, being the 15" retina, mid 2015, but even though it’s begin to show signs of ageing, it still does what I need it to....

i wanna go to a real one but they’re open like 5 hours a day...

esp if you’re one of the devout ones who think they’ve been really good

I caught a hell of a cold two weeks ago and it seems to have passed except for this Niagara Falls tier runny nose. I’ve succumbed to desperation and have just been walking around with a nose tampon. Lemmy, how do you treat your runny nose??

YouTube wants me to watch a 4m30s ad for middle-aged men who want to stay healthy. I won’t watch it. Hence, it never goes away....

I have shit grades at a uni, I feel it is too late. Im 23 and in my final year. Idk man, I really feel as if everyone is moving on without me. I find it impossible to make friends. Is 23 too late to change things? I hate rotting in my room all day. I used to be such a bright child, but people have fucked with me too much and now...

I have accounts on various Reddit alternatives and have also had accounts on now-defunct sites. However, none have exhibited the same level of negativity as Lemmy.

For example, I remember the time when American Idiot by Green Day came out in 2004. The song “Wake Me Up When September Ends” was everywhere on the radio. The song is about the death of the vocalist’s father dying when he was age 10....

Most are made up and silly....

Did you enjoy it? Was it worth it? How were you able to pull it off?

Throughout the years there’s been many useful information shared on staying safe during protests as well as many infographics made. What are some safety tips you’ve learned and some infographics you’ve saved?...
