Americans, how would you feel about making student loans completely illegal?
This would save young Americans from going into crippling debt, but it would also make a university degree completely unaffordable for most. However, in the age of the Internet, that doesn’t mean they couldn’t get an education....
Why do most people choose to use WhatsApp over telegram??
Telegram is just actually superior in terms of features I don’t get it.
Sell Me on Linux
I posted this as a comment in another post but when I got done I realized it would probably just be better as its own post. I’m sure I could find the answers I need myself but frankly I trust the userbase here more than most online articles....
The people living in the world of "A Quiet Place" must be IMMENSELY skilled in judging/trusting their farts
Who was your worst coworker?
What shitty things have your favourite bands/artists done?
Discovered recently that Electric Wizard were kinda dicks back in the day. “At the time, we were pretty bad people. I got arrested for arson of a car, outside a police station. Tim [Bagshaw] went to nick a crucifix off a church roof so we could use it onstage…”...
Apart from “life is short”, what other lines do you use before making bad decisions?
What's up with people on the piracy subreddit always talking about how they pay for stuff. your on a piracy community and they talk about purchasing digital goods? I don't get it. New piracy gen ?
Why does lemmy have it, so any link takes you off the page instead of opening in a new tab or window?
It is a simple line of code and the entire site does this or add target=“_blank” to every hyperlink, and it will do the same thing. It sucks that you have to right-click every link to open in a new tab or window and it is such a simple fix.
I hate it that I miss all interesting low volume communities posts
I wish Lemmy had the Mastodon functionality to create your own lists of communities. I subscribe to a ton of communities and I have a couple of them which are very low volume but I’m very interested in seeing each and every post there. Right now I have to remember them and go to them specifically once every couple of days to...
Best practices for navigating file structure via terminal?
I’ve just started my Linux journey earlier this year. As a goal to learn how to self-host applications and services that will allow me to take back some control of my data. Immich instead of Google Photos, for example....
What is your favorite quote of all time?
What is up with Baldur's Gate 3?
This is not a criticism - I love how much attention this game has been getting. I’m just not understanding why BG3 has been blowing up so much. It seems like BG3 is getting more attention than all of Larian’s previous games combined (and maybe all of Obsidian’s recent crpgs as well). Traditionally crpgs have not lit the...
Eyebrows are mustaches for your eyes.
Furthermore, eyebrows are facial hair and everyone who has eyebrows also has visible facial hair.
What is a popular book that everyone buys but nobody reads?
Apart from water and salt, are there any inorganic foods?
An overwhelming majority of what we eat is made from plants and animals. This means that composition of our almost entire food is chemicals from the realm of organic chemistry (carbon-based large molecules). Water and salt are two prominent examples of non-organic foodstuffs - which come from the realm of inorganic chemistry....
What happened to online computer games?
In like, 2005-2010ish I remember there being these awesome online games through sites like Mini Clip. All disappeared from the internet....
Does anyone else act more 'human' when solving captchas?
Whenever I have to do a captcha where you must select all tiles with bicycles, I know I can just click through super fast, but I feel like that might make the website suspicious, so I purposefully slow down like “Geez, this is a melon-scratcher!” or click and then unclick a tile like “whoops, silly me, thats an umbrella...
The 3 little pigs would all have died were it not for the valiant efforts of the first 2 in stalling the big bad wolf.
Those bricks take time.
What temperature do you keep your thermostat at?
Title. We keep ours at 75F, parents do 77F, and in laws 68F. It made me curious what everyone else keeps theirs at?
Ask Lemmy: Traditional vs natural mouse scrolling; which do you use?
Despite being a heavy cell phone user for more than 25 years, it only recently occurred to me that vertical navigation on most phones is inverted when compared to traditional computers. You swipe down to navigate upward, and up to navigate downward. I recently spent time using a MacBook, which apparently defaults to this...
What the deal with beef stroganoff?
I’m seeing posts about beef stroganoff. Why.
What do overnight shift workers do when the clocks change?
If you are at work in the middle of the night when the clocks change, do you work an extra hour in the spring and one less in the fall?
What makes a bicycle so expensive?
There are some brands of bicycles that can cost more than the down payment on a car. Why? Surely making a bike lightweight and reliable isn’t so difficult that it warrants that price? Is it just the brand name or maybe it has to do with customization options?
