think it’s interesting, for example, that “handicapped” has become a slur in my lifetime
Hell, my mom used to work for an organization called ARC. When I was little it stood for “Association for Retarded Citizens”. The organization still exists, but stopped being an acronym in the '90s.
I’ve recently rekindled my love for Katamari Damacy and it made me wonder if there’s any other amazing cult classics out there that aren’t talked about these days. What are your recommendations?
I'm currently on Win11 but I'm getting that familiar Linux itch and want to dual boot a while again. I tend to gravitate towards Ubuntu simply because it's so big and well supported by most things....
I'm almost certain I've seen a woodworking community when browsing all.
I also don't think it's necessarily a question of subject matter so much as that Lemmy's user base is simply not large enough yet to sustain active niche communities, and it's an open question if we can get to that point without degrading the quality of the less focused ones, like /c/crafting or /c/diy.
Also, weirdly, a lot of people seem to use Discord for things used to be (and I would say should) be on a forum (or community, magazine, etc.)
Trying to follow the thread of a discussion about some obscure point you're interested in is much easier when it's in a thread, instead of an undifferentiated chat log with a bunch of unrelated cross-talk.
Hey I know shitjustworks and lemmy.world are being defederated from beehaw but can we get an official list that gets updated when there are other instances that are being defederated?...
A slice of pumpkin pie is listed as toast (starch on one side), but a slice of double-crusted pie is a taco (three sides), a whole key lime pie is a quiche (five sides), and a whole double-crusted pie is a calzone (six sides).
In all cases save one, side crust is seen as distinct from bottom crust. A slice of pumpkin pie therefore has starch on two sides, making it a sandwich.
This is pretty obvious, since you can easily count from one member to the next.
I'd just like to chip in that it isn't necessary for a countably infinite set to have an obvious method of counting. Listing all of the rationals in numerical order isn't possible (what's the smallest fraction above 0?) but it is nevertheless possible to create a bijection with the naturals.
To me, the real benefit of growth is the ability to have active communities focused on niche topics, like discussion of a single book series rather than a genre or books in general.
I don't know if it's possible get there without creating an Eternal September situation in the broader communities, but it would be nice if we could.

Identify your food based on the location of structural starch. Is a hot dog a sandwich? No, it's clearly a taco.
