In Robert Heinlein’s novel “Farnham’s Freehold”, the protagonists accidentally end up in a very technologically advanced feudal society that depends on a drug called “Happiness” to control things and keep social classes rigidly separated. The hypothesis of this question: the drug is a pleasant tasting drink you take...
I am curious to hear from people who started vaping without having smoked beforehand....
Valet parking seems to be getting more common at some city locations that don’t have a good parking situation....
Maybe include altitude in both metres and feet, otherwise 80% of comments will be about that whole discussion.
How did they form? What are their specific traits? Stereotypes (even untrue, if marked as such)?...
I was wondering whether that could cause issues for the limited servers available, like when the mass migration from reddit happened. Would it be bad to add more accounts that would be mostly dormant? And if one does create a throwaway would it be better to delete the account afterwards.
So, how do you deal with communities that don’t interest you? I personally block them, because I don’t like them popping up on my All feed, but at the same time I don’t want to switch to Subscribed because a new interesting community might pop up....

I see ads all the time for shit like consumer Cellular, mint mobile, stuff that rents time on Verizon towers and sells you a plan for like half the price....
I know a lot of shitty things are happening in the world right now. But I get this feeling that most of the posts I see in lemmy feed are sad or depressing....
This wouldn’t work today as, often, craftsmen are paid more and are higher on social ladder than clerks. How would you adjust the criteria for modern-day working class check?

With all of the sketchy products Amazon has and their bad practices, I’m really considering getting rid of Amazon. The only thing I will really miss is the fast shipping....
Basically the title. In the US I’ve heard the fables of King Arthur and Robin Hood constantly. What are some other fabled heroes from antiquity that are less well known? Something from a non-Western culture.
You’ve all had some very interesting answers for my last post so here is a question for you, how do you think about copyright in general and should it exist?
Excluding, say, here or the fediverse more broadly....
