For example, buildings and houses more than a hundred years old keep getting more and more rare, and often have an aesthetic that stands out, more ornate or with a particular style that most people can’t afford today or that is not financially convenient etc. But back in the day, that’s how things were built and most people...

I’ve never owned a boat in my life and now that I live near the sea I would love to own a small boat to travel along the coast from one city to another....

If you ask me? Mobile/WiFi internet… The way and amount of time we use our phones had changed A LOT since their diffusion. I guess the release of the iPhone changed our idea of what a phone is too...

Although I mention parents specifically in the title, this isn’t just for parents to respond....

Someone told me that if you keep your gaze fixed and imagine a completely black circle right above someone’s head, what you are actually doing is telepathy… so far I haven’t researched more about it but I have noticed that some strange things happen when I do that, I see spirals and the vision looks different, could...

Most psychologists don’t care about Freud’s work outside of a historical sense and kinda hate him as a person. His work was quite literally used as an example of pseudoscience by Karl Popper....

Not to brag but I’m a pretty confident person in my social circle. I’m funny, make people laugh etc. etc....

Mine is Shia Labeouf - Just Do It (Make Your Dreams Come True) [Ultimate Remix]

I mean yeah it’s obvious that it’s an oportunity for making money on a new marked and so on, but, even if it’s a bit silly, dreaming of VR technology like in Ready Player One(minus the distopian world) for real life it feels like the bad guys already won, when we will have the technology. Like the omni One is just about to...

This is just for messing around to see in digital form the house that I dream of in my head. Is there a truly free one that does a decent job?...

Hey all! This may be kind of a dumb post as I know I need to make this decision myself, but I‘d sure love some advice. My oldest dog is 11, going on 12. The poor girl is diabetic, blind, has fatty lipomas, and mobility issues due to diabetes, breed, and age. This morning, we are fairly sure she had a stroke of some sort (the...

Share your favorite lesser-known communities, please! I’m always looking for more to join

My neighbour has a cat called Stevie. Stevie hangs out with us a lot and we look after him when my neighbour is away....

Okay so I work in one of those amazing tech companies where you have to submit 360 feedbacks every 6 months & will be PIPed etc. As here because unfortunately the programming related communities seem pretty inactive....

I’m in my 20’s and I consider myself a complete ignorant, in the sense that whenever I make a decision I always think “What would the future me do if I had more experience/knowledge?”...

I was thinking about sentences that can tell the entire story on their own. I have 2 common examples:...

I have a theory that it should have a very different “personality” (probably more like writing style) depending on language because it’s an entirely different set of training data...

In recent weeks I have met a pretty and sweet girl with what I consider her only biggest problem: her IQ. She is slow, does not remember things and has no concentration at all, has no arguments, systematically repeats the usual twenty words. (A bit like the character of Forrest Gump, for those who do not know what low iq means)....
