Indiana Jones has been rocking the same attire for 30+ years. Do you know anyone similar in real life?

It's actually 57 years if you start the counting from when he got the hat in The Last Crusade's prologue in 1912 to the newest one that takes place in 1969, and 34 years if you start counting from the first chronological movie, The Temple of Doom that took place in 1935....

Curious, if you were/are a Reddit user, will you be leaving the platform for good or have you already? CEO has called unpaid moderators' concerns "noise", that will be "passing soon."

There's a lot of noise with this one. Among the noisiest we've seen. Please know that our teams are on it, and like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass as well. The most important things we can do right now are stay focused, adapt to challenges, and keep moving forward. We absolutely must ship what we said we would....

blackhole,

I'm out. I haven't left for good yet. The time I spend there now is to tell other people about kbin and similar sites. But Kbin is now my main site, and I won't use reddit for anything other than to move more people here.

Kichae,

There are subreddits that that my girlfriend and I commiserate over, so I'm not totally pulling the plug yet. But I'm all aboard the digital anarchism train and here for the Fediverse.

I've been using Mastodon for a year now. PixelFed for nearly as long. I have a self-hosted Calckey site. If I made videos I'd absolutely post them to PeerTube.

This is what the internet was supposed to be, before it got captured by corporate interests. It's time for it to come back to itself.

Has anyone else been losing track of time in the Fediverse?

I've heard other people talk about falling down Reddit holes over the years, but I was never this engaged on Reddit. I posted maybe a handful of times. I'd usually browse r/popular/top set to desktop version in Firefox on mobile without logging in. Here, though, I'm literally losing sleep and hours pass because the energy, the...

Super excited about our community (m/chat) reaching 500 subs/700 comments in just over 3 days.

Hey all, we just ticked over the 500 sub mark. It's been very encouraging reading your stories of how you've found this community, the wider fediverse and reading what you have to say! I am confident we can continue to grow and keep the same friendly vibe going forward....

Do you have any planned vacations? Where to? Do you have a favorite destination?

I currently don't have any planned that I'm looking forward to, but someone I know is currently in Costa Rica for a trip and is having a blast from what I hear. I'm thinking of planning something! I do have availability to do one soon, just not sure where I'd go yet.

I PASSED MY COURSE! Time to graduate!

I was sooo worried I wasn't going to make it with my rushed final essay but I did it with a 75% mark! Maybe my course staff are just forgiving? I read the feedback and there were a lot of good points where I could have changed or expanded upon things...It doesn't matter now because I'm graduating in a month. IT'S HAPPENING! I...

What's something good that happened to you today?

The world can be a pretty strange place, but it's good to look back and find at least one thing that was good to you today. Be that a nice conversation, a cool picture you saw, a song you heard... whatever! But if you didn't find anything good today, here's your sign: go do one thing for you, right now. Even if its just a moment...

welcome! i’m trying to be less of a lurker here than i was on reddit. i feel like this is a great place to feel like i’m part of a community, and not just absorbing content.

OC What are some hobbies you have that carry you through the day/week? Feel free to share them here!

I absolutely 100% look forward to my hobbies every day of the week. I picked up some new ones over the past two years and they have been an immeasurable asset to my sanity and happiness over the past two years. The first being that I'm picking up, and practicing guitar again. I have a starter setup still and that is ample for my...

Programming and Art have been my go-tos for a long time.

I have a very ad-hoc method of doing things and splitting my time is the only way to utilize my energy. Like my head hurts after programming for a few days, so I draw nonsense or cute stuff.

Lately I have been taking up mechanical stuff and trying to fix a junker car I bought, it's a nightmare, but I'm starting to understand it a little bit.

Some other hobbies I dabble in a lot but don't really have a lot of experience or skills are

  • Making bags and sewing
  • Playing the keyboard
  • Learning DAWs
  • Making synths from scratch (It's hard)

I literally would not have a life without hobbies and new things. I am so into productivity that I kinda lost interest in gaming and movies and other such forms of entertainment. It's not a great position to be in but it helps distract me from the crap in life, y'know?

OC Welcome to /m/chat!

Hello all! I've decided to start this community in order to create a space on kbin where people can chat about things they might not feel fit anywhere else. Discussion here can include topics that do fit elsewhere, however. The main goal of chat is to create a general social space for people to freely and safely communicate...
