Hey, Canadians. How's your healthcare?
Hello, Canadians of Lemmy! Down in the USA there is a lot of conflicting information regarding the efficacy of y’alls healthcare systems. Without revealing my personal bias, I was hoping for some anecdotes or summaries from those whom actually live there.
Are you a mod(or inspiring to be) ? If so, how is your community going ?
What human power-ups/power-downs would you choose? Why?
Just got an audience with the creator, gave you an opportunity to choose one organ to enhance/reduce its functionality; Cause apparently the creator can "grant your wish"...
Hey Lemmy, what is your ultimate pick-me-up song?
Why not Glitter?
With such a push against single use plastic and mirco plastics etc. Why is glitter left untouched? surely it has to be one of the worse plastic pollutants. Currently getting our Christmas shop ready, and its on everything and gets everywhere!
Non-Americans, what's your nation's equivalent to Texas?
As in, what region is where every characteristic of the country is played up as much as possible, like a microcosm of the whole nation?
What is Tom Bombadil?
He is not a hobbit, neither a man, but what is he? Is he a dwarf? A wizard? A god? Something else entirely?
Wat's ur favorite "Aristocrats" joke telling/comedian
How attached are you to your username?
Do you have a single username you feel attached to?...
why do americans seem to always have thick necks in photographs?
Both men and women. Is it to do with the way they smile/pose for the camera or something? Seriously, I can almost tell someone is American by the way their neck looks in a photo
Have you ever created your own job perks?
When I was working minimum wage at a gas station many eons ago, we would have ‘2 for $x’ specials where x is less than 2 times the individual price of whatever item....
Is anyone else having trouble giving up Reddit due to content?
I’m not trying to cause an argument but when Reddit pulled it’s bs - I said that’s enough. I gave up my Reddit addiction and didn’t open it or visit the site for over 30 days....
Is an expensive mattress worth the money?
Idk why I always wake up with either my sides or neck or smth hurting when I wake up but that didn’t happen while I stayed at a hotel. It’s not like I’m an old broken man who should be waking up expecting this.
What's the closest you have ever been to actually dying?
How close was it?
What kind of people frequent on forums?
edit: I ain’t complaining. If reddit engagement is dying and forums are taking it’s place, https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/9a0ca86e-fa21-49bc-bb1c-537f6aa7acd7.png Forums are more private and I generally hate reddit :)...
Have you ever been tied up?
What are some of the best questions to ask someone new to you, to better get to know them?
what decentralized platforms do you use?
for me: lemmy,kbin, nextcloud,pixelfed, matrix,xmpp/jabber and peertube
can posts on Lemmy just dissappear?
I had a post that just seemed to evaporate. Do mods just delete posts at will? Is there a notice sent typically? Post wasn’t anything remotely controversial. Is this something that happens on Lemmy? Say what you will about reddit, but at least there were notices when something was taken down.

Hi, I understand on IPhone, we have Bean that support push notification. Do you know lemmy client on Android that support push notification?

How to conduct polls in this instance?
How come we say counterclockwise and not earthwise?
How long does it take for gums/cheek to unfreeze and any fater ways to do it. I wanna eat, dammit
Is there a push to make product containers re-usable?
I’m looking at an empty bottle of Valentina hot sauce. It has a flip top cap but is not twist off and seems to be press fitted on in some way - ideally there would be a way to easily remove it and re-purpose the container or at least clean it out for recycling....
