sir_pronoun , to asklemmy in Greensleeves is almost 500 years old. I'm sure there were other very popular songs when it came out, but Greensleeves had to staying power to still be here. What do you think is today's Greensleeves?

“I like to f*ck” by Tila Tequila.

Essentially the same lyrics, even.

Melatonin OP ,

It’s it a hummer?

Gigan , to til in TIL ~62% of the atoms in a human body are Hydrogen, and are as old as the universe.
@Gigan@lemmy.world avatar

Given enough time, Hydrogen will begin to wonder where it came from, and where it is going.

numberfour002 ,

If it hadn’t been for hydrogen, oh. I’d been married long time ago. Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from hydrogen, oh.

some_guy , to asklemmy in Can I detect my SO's presence just by smell / pheromone ?

I dated someone whose arousal had a very distinct scent. I don’t think it would be obvious to everyone, but it was obvious to me.

authorinthedark ,

so to find your partner in a crowd while wearing a blindfold all you’d have to do is take your pants off?

pavnilschanda , to asklemmy in Can I detect my SO's presence just by smell / pheromone ?
@pavnilschanda@lemmy.world avatar

I’m single but I notice everyone has a specific smell. Try smelling some of your loved ones’ clothes and you get what I mean. I figure that this would be especially apparently for the visually impaired.

Aatube OP ,

I was planning to start-again 195 for this thing but sure!

Aatube OP ,

(hey can i be mod thx)

jxk ,

Sure

jxk ,

Apparently I can only make you mod if you comment in the community, so please make a post there with a comment in it, and I’ll add you Cheers

Aatube OP ,

Gotcha

Aatube OP , (edited )

Could you add "Always post prior to your parting", a 195-ish policy, to the words about the purpose of the community? And probably that "Posts and subposts may contain The"? don't think I may modify anything from non-mbin hosts.

elooto , to til in TIL about exploding head syndrome, which causes patients to hear a loud, frightening noise when falling asleep or waking up. Up to 10% of people may have it, but cases often go undiagnosed

For me, it sounds exactly like a wooden screen door slamming shot.

lesbian_seagull ,

The spring-loaded kind or someone/thing forcibly closing it?

elooto ,

Interesting Q lesbian_seagull. I never got the sense that anyone else was involved, but the sound is definitely slamming shut with a loud thwack. And I suppose the first couple times I thought it was real, but I don’t have screen doors.

spiderwort ,

Yes. Me too.

I would describe it as the sound of a big quick blast of compressed air. Like when you disconnect a compressor fitting.

Which is pretty similar.

Short loud white noise.

A flash of white light in sound form?

PunkiBas , to til in TIL about exploding head syndrome, which causes patients to hear a loud, frightening noise when falling asleep or waking up. Up to 10% of people may have it, but cases often go undiagnosed

Whoa this is so interesting!

I’ve been having them on and off for as long as I can remember. I seem to notice I suffer them more often when sleep deprived and also when playing long hours of videogames (or both).

Lesrid , to til in TIL about "Swill milk" where cows were fed distillery waste causing cow teeth rot and disease. It was also adulterated with raw eggs, burn sugar, etc. Swill milk lead to over 8,000 infant's deaths

So phisticated

IgnatiusJReilly , to til in TIL that a short film named "100 Years" starring John Malkovich was shot in 2015, destined to be released in the year 2115

Like Dolly Parton’s “My Place in History,” locked away in a Dollywood time capsule to celebrate the 31st year of the park opening and her to be 100th birthday.

umbrella , to til in TIL about Swatch Internet Time, a decimal time system that has no time zones.
@umbrella@lemmy.ml avatar

timezones make sense to me, and this just looks like UTC+1 with extra steps.

lud ,

Decimal time is the interesting part.

I wish that all time and calendars were decimal. Or at very least we should have something like the Hobbit calendar where every month is the same amount of days and the same date is the same weekday each year.

Dagwood222 , to til in til Don Pardo worked as announcer on SNL until his death, age 96!

They wanted him on SNL because the target audience had grown up hearing his voice. It was supposed to be funny, having someone associated with the blandest shows announcing for the degenerate antics of stoners like Belushi and ignorant sluts like Jane Curtain.

Dagwood, you pompous ass.

‘Jane, you ignorant slut,’ was often used by Jane’s costars during the show.

Here’s her typical response.

Man, I was a little too young to catch the early years of SNL as they aired, but I loved the reruns of those seasons :)

Jane Curtain pretty much defined what weekend update should be

originalucifer OP ,
@originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

im in the middle of watching all of them, im on season 24. its very interesting watching history happen around the show... knowing what was happening off-stage. there are many awkward scenes, some sad.

my favorite moments are the end scenes. the wrapup.. its the end of the night for all of these actors/musicians/comedians/writers theyre all onstage and some clearly exhausted. this exact group of humans will never be together again, ever... here we get to witness what must be a somewhat personal moment for many of them.

they just fired norm, and colin... man he was just terrible for weekend update.

SocialMediaRefugee , to youshouldknow in YSK that chiropractors are not medical doctors and "Systematic reviews... have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective"

Even if they made me feel better it is so temporary that I’d have to come again, and again. I’d rather go to a massage therapist who could also get the rest of my body too without the risk of vertebral artery dissection.

The best thing I’ve found for my back is slow, varied motions and stretches. I do tai chi and qigong and they really loosen me up.

interolivary , to technology in Wikipedia Admin Unmasks As Alt Account Of Admin Who Was Extremely Banned In 2015 To The Great Bewilderment Of Everyone
@interolivary@beehaw.org avatar

As someone who only tried making some random corrections here and there and wasn’t all that “in” in the whole editing world, over time the experience was miserable enough that I simply don’t bother anymore.

More than once I tried correcting the Finnish version of some pages on a specific subject that had pretty blatant misrepresentations of what the source material actually said (as in they actually ended up claiming the opposite of what the source or the English page said), and my edits were reverted by some “power admin” who was treating the pages on that subject as their personal fiefdom. They refused to have any sort of rational discussion about it, and it turned into them just using obscure (to me, anyhow) Wikipedia policy references to get their way and I simply couldn’t be arsed to figure out how to get around this particular asshole.

As someone here in the comments said, “people will people.” Too many Wikipedia admins are in it simply for the feeling of power, and Wikipedia’s frankly quite complicated policy is used more as a weapon against people who dare encroach on their turf rather than as rules for ensuring good-quality pages.

Edit: also, am I the only one who keeps accidentally clicking on Lemmy’s “delete comment” button when meaning to edit a comment? Why in the everliving fuck doesn’t it ask for confirmation?

PoolloverNathan ,

You’re not, but clicking it again undeletes it.

It’s been a good while so I’m not sure I could even pinpoint the articles anymore, and I honestly don’t really care at this point

blackluster117 , to til in TIL about Hector the Convector a thunderstorm and cloud system that forms nearly every afternoon from September to March in the Northern Territory of Australia
@blackluster117@possumpat.io avatar

I love the human tendency to anthropomorphize things. Hector seems chill.
