Where do you go when you want to talk or share?
I had an extraordinary experience today, but it didn’t relate to a hobby or career or political topic. I tried to find an appropriate community but I guess I don’t have the right terms. Where can one turn to share triumphs, defeats, and sacred moments?

If a democratic country put a 3rd option on every ballot, "kill everyone", how long before option 3 wins?
Do you have some kind of subconscious awareness of interests you already have or know you eventually will take deep dives into at some point in life?
I mean like awareness that, just under the surface, there are deep explorations waiting for the right time and place to emerge; things you’ve set aside or placed on the back burner but will tackle eventually/many you already have tackled....
They say not to put tomatoes in a fruit salad, but are they using the wrong kind of fruit?
Are there other types of fruits that could go well with tomatoes in a salad?
At what number of grains of sand does a non-pile graduate into being a pile?
I’m of the view that this is a semantic question where we have a word, “pile”, that describes a general amount but doesn’t have a specified quantity to it, and so the only way we can determine the amount of units required to constitute a pile at the bare minimum, is through public consensus on the most commonly shared...
Subscribing to New Communities
I just subscribed to a new community but I am only seeing one post. Is there a setting I need to change to see older posts on the newly subscribed community?

Do I have Burnout?
I really just need to talk about this to someone. I’m in college and I’ve always loved to learn, but now I don’t feel motivated do my school work or to study, but at the same time, when a test roles around and I don’t know how to answer the questions I get stressed and care about trying to do well. I’ve also always...

Why are Asian products so often wrapped in really *thick* plastics?
I live in Europe but sometimes shop at Asian supermarkets here. One of the things I notice with almost everything I buy there is that plastic packaging feels a lot thicker than that on European products. Is there a rational reason for this? Are plastics simply cheaper? Or do people worry more that products might spoil? Are these...
What do you call music/videos/stuff you suddenly remember after years of not thinking about it?
Who doesn’t know the feeling? Something brings back the memory of a song you haven’t heard since 2009. Back then it was playing on TV all the time. You look it up on YouTube. It totally has those 2000s vibes. All the comments are also “omgz I just remembered this song after 15 years !!”....

Why is Lemmy, with a tiny fraction of Mastodon's MAU, more fun than Mastodon?
From news, to shitposting, to memes, to more shitposting, Lemmy feels vibrant, active, lighthearted, fun and even powerful. Mastodon feels like a fucking funeral.

Substitute for Ratchet Straps for Close-Together Points
I love ratchet straps, but I can’t seem to find any extra-short ones. I have two anchor points about 6-8 inches apart that have a slight obstruction between them (so not a straight line)....
Does anybody remember the Rugrats desktop companions / virtual pets?
I remember finding them on the Internet somewhere in the early 2000s. I remember that Kimi was one of them, so it would have to have been after the second movie (Rugrats in Paris). Anybody remember these things? I can’t find any details about them online.
Music for filmmakers
There doesn’t seem to be a very active filmmaking community on Lemmy, so I thought I’d ask here....
Is there any movie in which the actor naturally aged and portrayed the younger and older version of character ? Not a prequel sequel thing. One movie.
Just wondering if someone was committed enough to make such a movie
How do you navigate loneliness when striving to break free from societal norms?
The title pretty much says it all. I’ve always struggled to connect with others, but the farther I find myself outside of societal norms, the harder it gets.
