Eccentric meaning the example that would be considered the most foolish or far out. I didn’t know a better synonym if the word eccentric doesn’t work. Most skeptics would understand the use of the word eccentric, but to give an example, the other day I met a little kid who couldn’t understand why the moon is invisible during its full moon stages and why it looks like a cloud, and the little kid said she thought the moon was just a cloud which has turned into rain during the new moon, only to evaporate again. But of course, this is a little kid, so in this case it’s not unnatural.
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...
Suppose someone hired a private detective to gather as much personal information as they possibly could on an individual, with the sole purpose of getting back at the individual by having everything about them publicly known....
If the circumstances of the person whose info is being overshared are normal circumstances though, what criteria would you believe to be best to separate info that is TMI to share and info that isn’t?
Adding this because I consider it interesting, one interesting response I’ve been told by this person is to treat it like copyright, which she says is the view she holds. That is, something like a name or identifying code number thing or whatnot should not be shared because it’s an extension of the individual and therefore would fall under copyright infringement.
This post was inspired by a dream misadventure I had last night where I was just minding my own business getting gophers out of the rice field, then suddenly on the intercom/announcements (which I did not expect to have in my dream, since I was outside, not in a building), a voice said “attention, this is a representative of...
Wondering now if there’s some kind of machine somewhere that connects all dreamers together as long as it’s on and is how the telepathy works. Owned by the fediverse of course.
I think there should be some incentive for that, like make those kinds of comments a spotlight or something. Maybe make a community called “late replies” that showcases the best such replies, or have a rule saying they grant free karma (in Reddit’s case).
Specifically because I live in a hot climate, I’m always fighting the feeling of being suspicious of anybody I pass in the streets with a hoodie pulled up. I feel guilty because of racial profiling associated with hoodies, but gotta protect myself and my family, especially because in many cases the perpetrators of assault and...
When looking up your name on here, were the images/videos/audio you posted that are erased via error selfies/self-recordings too? An interesting question when you’ve said before you have the world record for having signed up for the most websites, if you know what I mean.
The last time you were misgendered and the last time you misgendered someone else, why?
Asking both questions here. Please don’t be too political here, it’s a timeless issue and that’s the angle I’m asking from....
What's the funniest typo you've seen in a meme before?
What's the most complicated/complex situation you've ever been in?
What's the most damning rumor ever spread about you?
What things about you always need clarifying for people to understand it (but which you might not always be able to clarify)?
What does/did your school uniform look like?
What's the most eccentric use of Occam's Razor you've ever witnessed?
What's a question you would rather ask here or find best to ask here than to ask in the form of its own thread?

What is the most well thought out, inoffensive, post you've seen get down voted?
How would you define what constitutes TMI when it comes to leaking personal info?

What was your most recent dream?

When was the last time you answered a Lemmy or Reddit post/thread that was more than five months old?
I think there should be some incentive for that, like make those kinds of comments a spotlight or something. Maybe make a community called “late replies” that showcases the best such replies, or have a rule saying they grant free karma (in Reddit’s case).
Does anybody else feel guilty being suspicious of anybody in a black hoodie with the hood up?
