TIL: The most living generations at once was 7, back in 1989. They each had their child between 18 to 20yrs of age
I was trying to figure out how many generations could theoretically exist at the same time, so I decided to first check Guinness. Hopefully I did all the math correctly.

Are any of your friends on the fediverse too? If not, have you tried to get them to join?
I’ve been telling a lot of people about it, but everyone’s a skeptic. I’ve heard a lot of people saying that they’re just going to wait to see which Reddit clone comes out on top before switching. Most of them haven’t heard of the other parts of the fediverse like mastodon. I’d like to leave fb/instagram, but like...
Maui, Hawaii - Black Sand Beach

In a post regarding climate change I called another user an “Ignorant Slut” like that line from the Office. Anyways got permanently banned site wide and I just can’t help but wonder if that was necessary....

How do you manage your music library?
Hello!...
Why do people road rage?
Is it an isolated event or does it have any correlation with anything else?
I'm surprised there are not more cartoons with mimes as protagonists. It would probably cut down animation costs and you wouldn't need a voice actor.
Was thinking about an isekai where a mime mimes getting hit by a bus and gets transported to another world but just keeps on miming
Is Lemmy also censored by the government? Or can I just openly discuss anything against the government here?
How can I help someone with a gambling problem?
My neighbour (40/m) (“N”) confided that his recently retired father (70/m) (“G”) has started going to the casino twice a day (all day but he comes home for dinner)....
What does cigarette smoking do for people?
I’ve never smoked, but I’ve been around people that do. What do people feel during/after smoking? It doesn’t seem to make people high or hallucinate or anything. It maybe mildly relaxes them?

Currently Im running arch linux with full disk encryption, secure boot, linux hardened, firewalld and most apps as flatpaks (with some disabled permissions using flatseal).

Protest Songs: why do I feel like there were many more (and many more that were popular) in the 60’s and 70’s?
I’m a guy approaching 60, so I’ll start by saying my perception may be wrong. That could be because the protest songs from the late 60’s and early 70’s weren’t the songs I heard live on the radio but because they were the successful ones that got replayed. More likely, it’s because music is much more fractured than...
What's a book you really enjoyed, that you feel like no one else on lemmy has read?

I have read it runs fine on steam but would rather buy it on GOG due to the lack of DRM.
Why should I primary Linux for Home Desktop and which one do you recommend?
I’ve always used Windows and am super comfortable with it. I have set up a dual boot with fedora but don’t use it because I have never identified a need to use it. I see a lot of windows hate, so what does Linux have that I need? What can motivate me to migrate? What is a good Linux to have for a desktop + steam?
Why isn't there a "Spotify premium" for news?
I really dislike ad driven publications. I’m not opposed to paying for quality news publication, but for something like NYT, there’s only a couple articles a month I come across that I’m really interested in reading. There problem is that there’s 4-5 other paywalled publications where I have that same issue. I’m...
