What's the appeal of family life vlogs/ YT channels?
I’m curious about the audience demographics of these videos....
I don't have AC but my apartment lease covers unlimited water usage and the water is very cold. How can I best use this to cool my home?
I’ve searched around and mostly seen people create custom radiator builds attached to their water supply, but that’s beyond my skill level and I’m not sure if linking it directly to the water supply via piping would violate the lease or not. Are there any solutions a bit more DIY that I could take advantage of?
Is there a way to gift someone a game from my Playstation library?
A couple months ago I tried to buy Ghost of Tsushima but in a drunken stupor accidentally bought Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. I didn’t realize my mistake until I was like an hour into the game (again, drunk) so when I contacted Playstation trying to get a refund they told me I was ineligible for a refund due to already...
Would it have made sense in the 80s to believe there were dinosaurs 40 million years ago ?
I know we now know they went extinct 66 million years ago, and 64 millions is another date I’ve seen around, but how long how we known it was definitely way more than 40 millions ? I’m asking because it’s the date given in the the song “walk the dinosaurs” by Was (Not Was), and I wondered why such a number. Would it...
How do you clean your smart watch?
I’ve got a Garmin vívoactive 4 that I’ve been using almost daily for the last 3 years. Recently it’s started causing some irritations on my wrist (slight redness and dry skin). I’m assuming that it needs a really good clean but I’m not sure what’s the best. Dish soap and warm water? Or is there something better?
why isn't anyone calling for Trump to drop out.
I get it, Biden is old and that’s a problem, but why doesn’t anyone seem to have a problem with the fact that Trump is almost the same age, has 34 felonies, raped at least 2 women, went to Epstein’s Island 11 times, sexualized his own daughter, stole classified documents, aligned himself with Xi and Putin, and can’t...
How would I troubleshoot an AC unit that isn't working well.
I’m in a rental right now with a useless landlord, so I’m trying to fix the problem myself (or at least find the cause). My home’s central air AC unit is working, but doesn’t seem to be working well. There is cool air coming from the vents, but its less than I would expect, and when its 80f/27c outside, its rarely more...
Is there a way to hide posts that take you to another site?
I’m mildly annoyed with clicking on a thumbnail only to be suddenly taken to a page I know/care nothing about.
Why do many search engines seem to ignore operators (e.g. exact phrases, term exclusions, OR, etc.)? Is there a good reason for having a dumb 1997-level search logic that I'm not seeing?
Wouldn’t it cut down on search queries (and thus save resources) if I could search for “this is my phrase” rather than rawdogging it as an unbound series of words, each of which seems to be pulling up results unconnected to the other words in the phrase?...
How long does it take for neurotypical (or just typical) people to get over a minor fight?
Tldr: my wife and I get into verbal fights quite often (once a month or so) I get over it in an hour and it takes her days. Both of us think that the other’s timeline isn’t normal. What’s typical/normal?...
Why was my post deleted?
“You can’t intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.”...
Do other languages have similar acronyms to 'tbh', 'imo', 'smh', etc?
Where's all the intelligent discussion at?
I’m not interested in talking about people, and for the most part, I’m not interested in talking about events either. I want to talk about ideas—big and small. I’m trying to grow as a person and figure things out about the world. I don’t shy away from controversy, taboo topics, or debate as long as it’s done in good...
Is 0.3 quarts extra too much oil in a car?
I did an oil change. Thought the car took 4.4 quarts but it only takes 3.7 quarts. I poured in slightly under 4 quarts. The engine is a 1.5 in-line turbo (Honda Civic Si). It’s reading past the fill line slightly. How bad is it? Do I need to pour some out? What am I risking? What symptoms should I be looking for?
The justices of the supreme court ruled that Trump was immune and effectively above the law while being president. What is now stopping Biden from bringing a gun to the next debate?
If inciting an insurrection towards their own government is an action without legal repercussions, I don’t see how the law would be less lenient about straight up firing a gun at an opponent....
Would America be as divided if Trump lost to Hillary in 2016?
Is my girlfriend gaslighting me? (Edit: No, she is not gaslighting me, but may have some other issues.)
Today, before taking an Uber home, she sent me a text wanting me to be downstairs on the street to greet her as the Uber arrives. I read it and told her that yes, I’ll be there. I didn’t notice any further text because I was in the middle of something....
What happens if Biden dies before the next inauguration (see inside)?
What happens to the election if Biden dies before it?...
Have you ever had a phone call interrupted by a 3rd party voice saying "this call is being recorded"?
This just happened to me and I am a little shook. Very weird. I was talking to my friend in NYC and randomly this voice came on the line saying “this call is being recorded”...
How to know you'll turn out trans?
Hey there,...
What is up with all the German posts about pizza today?
I just opened Lemmy to browse all and half the posts are memes in German about pizza. Wtf Germany?
Are Tetra Paks actually recycled?
Assuming my municipality accepts it, are they actually being recycled?...
How are engine sounds in racing games played ?
For example in forza, the game plays engine sounds based on how much we press the button. Are there different sequences of clips ? If yes how do they blend so well ? Or are they synthesized dynamically ?...
What are diabetic test strips made of?
And, for bonus points, how are they made?...
