I’m thinking about sports as an example. I used to do fencing, and sometimes we would learn a new technique or I would imagine one to do, and I would imagine myself doing it, then it was almost like autopilot where my body would do it just how I imagined, like it was easy. It didn’t happen very often but when it did it felt...

Imagine an XL table:...

I have noticed lately that a lot of users on Lemmy spell whining as “whinging” what’s up with that? I could understand if it was misspelled “wining” or somthing but that extra g really confuses me. Is this a misspelling specific for some region or is it lingo of some sort?

How does a hot piece of metal and some steam turns my shirt fabric from supper wrinkly to nice looking and straight ?

Ok I think I do know the answer but I never learned it, so I want to learn it today. It’s been about 1 year now we can reliably make 3nm chips, which is impressive on a scale of size. But why is is better? My theory is simply: We can make a product the same size but add more on it because it’s smaller, making it stronger and...

'Cause I’m pretty sure KCPD is. Probably a lot of the sheriff departments, too.

At what age would you stop buying presents for nieces and nephews? I have 3 and they’re all officially out of college now. They live in a different state. When they were little kids the presents made sense but now it seems forced. I just don’t know how to transition away other than just not doing it.

Should I still isolate myself after a positive test? Is it ok to do my own shopping (with a mask) or should I call someone? Do I still wait for a negative test or simply to be free of symptoms? Since people around me don’t really talk about Covid anymore and my country doesn’t have any guidelines in place, I’d be...

I know they allow scam adverts because it’s easy money, but why aren’t they held responsible for facilitating obvious scams? You open Edge, there’s 3 “Earn money quick” adverts. On Instagram, every 5 ads, one is a scam.

How Significant is the Quality Increase from “Toy” to “Real” Projectors?...

I love Journey. But for some reason I hated, “Don’t Stop Believin” and I could not understand why I loathed that song until I recently rewatched The Sopranos for the second time after 16 years and the final episode had that song playing until the “blackout.” And now I know why…...

What’s your positive examples of men, fathers, friends, work colleagues, brothers, etc where they were or are emotionally available?...

I live in Ohio in the US and it seems like some of the trees around here have started turning colors way earlier than normal. Is it from the wildfires? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

Fyi there are 365.242374 days in a year.

I’ve heard a few people on here are starting their own personal instances so they can federate independently with different instances without relying on a larger, third-party instance. If I wanted to do this, would I need to own an actual server, separate from my PC?

Yes, I recently finished Spec Ops the Line. I absolutely loved it....

So essentially I took a class last semester, passed it, but didn’t learn shit because I rarely attended the lectures (worked evenings, class was in AM, used the hour to catch up on sleep). I didn’t realize how important the class was to my major, and now I’m seriously struggling in my current classes....

Hello there! I hope you're doing well. We are in need of new moderators, and would love it if you helped us out here!...

And by “truly stupid” I mean any question that upsets the straights.

In Chinese culture, red is a lucky colour; it’s often used for gift giving or weddings. Similarly in Hinduism, red is considered lucky (as far as I’ve read) and brides wear red at their weddings. The only commonality I can see between Indian culture and Chinese culture (in terms of beliefs) is Buddhism, is it because of this...
