Have you ever tried silkscreen printing?
I’ve wanted to try it for a long time, but never got around to it. I’m curious about any techniques that are more grass roots outside of the commercialized space, like what are the absolute minimum things needed when repeatability, convenience, and time are not important factors, but money and access to rare markets is...
Best way to remotely access pc on same LAN
Hey guys. I have a steam link I’ve used for quite some time. But I’m wanting to figure out a solution that is similar but grants full PC control. I have my main PC hardwired and a steam link and monitor out in my garage I’m routing to with a power line adapter that works pretty great. But it has a lot of issues when...
You've heard of Fake Taxi but what are some other 'fake' scenarios that would make solid setups or just be humorous?
Fake Dentist perhaps? Something about getting cavities filled....
Was banning human slavery an authoritarian decision?

What's the best wax-on-wax-off-style advice you've heard that you can attest as being helpful in certain situations?
What is cake day called on Lemmy?
Can Milky Way and Andromeda collision reconcile with an Expanding Universe with galaxies spreading away from each other like "raisins in a loaf"?
I understand that our local galaxy group is considered “gravitationally bound” and therefore exempt from the expansion from each other (((, but we don’t seem to have other galaxies collected into their own “local groups” of gravitationally bound clusters, so are we saying we’re somehow unique? Is there a trick of...
Trying to find a song about being wedgied
When I was a kid, like a real little kid, I remember having this one song I liked a lot about a guy trying to deal with getting wedgies at school. I remember almost nothing about it now, other than the guy eventually finds that Fruit of the Loom brand underwear has stretchy enough elastic to make the wedges painless. (This song...

Who would win: Marine animals or Humans?
Since whales are teaming up with each other to take down yachts and teaching others how to do it I thought this would be a fun question....
What's the most embarrassing thing about you?
What are your relationship partners most surprised to learn about you?
What possible, fundamental, misunderstanding of the nature of the universe could make current academics look like look like flat earthers?
What do you think of the term "short king" as a term that's supposed to champion body positivity for men?
Body positivity is such a strange concept to me. There’s efforts to reclaim words while simultaneously calling them bad if used as an insult. Ideally, people wouldn’t be offended by someone describing their body with common descriptors, but socially there is so much value attributed to certain body types that it’s almost...
Most unique looking celebrities?
I’m working on a side project studying variations in human facial features. It’s been helpful to study celebrity faces because it’s easy to find numerous reference photos. I’ve actually got a fairly good range of weird looking white men, turns out Hollywood is pretty flush with those, but it’s been harder to find...

As a follow-up, is there signs that the internet/technology may play a role in making a better society for all?
Do we need to create increasingly more children for a stable economy?
So in the whole anti-natalism/pro-natalism conversation (which I’m mostly agnostic/undecided on, currently), my friend who is a pro-natalist, argued that the success/stability of our world economy is dependent on procreating more children each year than the previous year, so that we not only replace the numbers of the people...
Is it ever okay to generalize about people? why or why not?
I know that naming variables is one of the biggest unsolved problems of Computer Science but how would you name a boolean flag to be self explanatory?
What I mean is: some boolean flags are perfect for the real world phenomenon they are representing e.g. is_light_on makes you understand perfectly that when it is true the light is on and when it is false the light is off....
The Offspring, The Beastie Boys, Van Halen w/DLR, and the B52s. Are there other bands that rock, but are often silly/goofy and funny?
How to get a clue where on the curve of Dunning-Kruger effect you are?
US Lemmys what could Biden do in the next 6 months to EARN your vote? (other than just not being Trump)
Sorry this is kinda political. Is there an asklemmypolitics group this would be better for? I’m hoping not to get into the libs vs progressives political debate we see everywhere on here… Just want to know what people are actually looking for.
What good/positive habits have you taken away from your time in Covid lockdown and kept up since then?

Do we like Bill Burr now?
Let me preface this by saying I’m not a fan at all of Bill Burr, but he recently went on Bill Maher’s show, and said he was with the students. He’s also said some inflammatory things in the past, so I’m not sure. Are we cool with Bill Burr, now?
