What was the embarassing moment of your life that turned out positive?
It’s friday, so lets try to end the week in a positive note with a laugh....
A large local gas chain offers $10 off when you sign up for their app. Is there any legal trouble when spinning up new accounts to claim it over and over again?

How do you feel about men wearing kilts? any brand recommendations?
I take transit to work and it’s getting hot in my city, I would like to wear shorts but I’m not allowed to wear them to work because of the dress code, however it allows skirts and is silent on kilts (and I think my managers will allow my bit of malicious compliance on this). Any recommendations on affordable utilikilt style...
You must pick a point in human history before the 1950s to be spend the rest of your life in. What era and place would you choose?
You would still have the same age, gender, personality, skin color, etc. and you would be able to speak at least one local language and would know basic information of the era and place. Your family, social standing, and such would be randomly picked.
If you had a one-way ticket to Jan 1, 1999 that departs on Jan 1, 2024, and you are allowed to bring whatever fits into a backpack with you, what would you bring to use to take over the world, and how would you use it? (kbin.social)
Assume that the future can change based on your actions, so any historical information that you bring along with you from the intervening 25 years may quickly drift out of the new realities history....

For me it’s holding a VHS in the store and looking at the cover.
Why are LW mods so power creepy and abusive?

What do you think of Just Stop Oil?
My Views: I would love it if Solar, Hydro and Wind and other renewable sources of energy + Non Renewable Nuclear were to provide enough energy reliably to completely replace fossil fuels, but I know it’s not a feasible solution at least at this point. And maybe it will never be. Renewable sources of energy are highly dependent...

Best options for Non-Google cloud storage as of 2022?
What are Lemmy’s feelings about the best cloud storage options these days, if you really want to break into the 1-2TB range? I’m not there yet, probably not even halfway there, but I like the peace of mind of potentially having the space if I need it. And I think subscribing to something in the Netflix price range is maybe...
Do you think that Trump will win the 2024 election?
Do you face stigma (or discrimination) in your family due to a mental illness that you have or that someone you love has?
And if you’ve made strides in reversing that stigma, how have you done so?
I’m looking for a web comic
The two-panel comic I’m looking for describes how the level of care parents give plummets after the first child. The dialog goes something like this:...
Are we seriously calling medicinal cannabis "plant medicine" now and trying to hide what it actually is?
Saw an ad on YouTube for this service saying something like “if you’ve experienced chronic pain for a long time with no improvement, “plant medicine” might be right for you.”. So I checked it out. The website continually says “plant medicine” and doesn’t specify at all wtf that actually means. Until I saw wording...
What podcasts did you listen to the most this year

What is a video game that you'd love to play, but no one has developed yet?
is there a limit to the point that i will find women attractive?
Context, I’m 30 now and i will find women my age and up attractive, but 15 years ago a 35 year old women would never have been attractive to me....
Where does Lemmy fit in the life cycle of a meme? (lemy.lol)
What are some physics-based arguments against hard determinism?
I don’t believe free will is real. I’m not a deep physics person (and relatively bad at math), but with my undergrad understanding of chemistry, classical mechanics, and electromagnetism, it seems most rational that we are creatures entirely controlled by our environments and what we ingest and inhale....
How far back in time can a modern computer be reversed engineered
Another post regarding time travel got me wondering how far back in time can I hypothetically leave a modern computer where they, the most capable engineers of their time, can then somewhat reverse engineer it or even partially?
