How do people that have to wear black nitrile gloves all day keep from having sweaty hands?
Is it actually very common for people to have violent sadistic fantasies, possibly involving actual people in their lives?
I just kind of wonder with how casually people express these thoughts. It’s a little disturbing how normalized it is to entertain such notions, given how other types of fantasies are very stigmatized....
What's the best way to measure the size of the government?
I think I’ve heard that the USA federal gov is bigger than in the past, as in controlling more of an American’s life than in its history. Is it like government revenue divided by gdp? What about minting?

Anyone else feel like Trump has a much higher chance to win then Presidency than Kamala?
Idk, when you look at the entire picture, does Trump not have the far easier path to 270 this year? He only has to win 2 states (PA & GA) and that’s it, he wins. Kamala has to win at the minimum 3, and if she loses PA, it becomes even harder for her. Trump could just spend all of his money campaigning in those 2 states and get...

Question about DPOA and taxes
I’m creating a Durable Power of Attorney, and I can choose whether to grant my Agent the power to deal with my taxes. My question is: does granting the Agent this power also make them responsible for my taxes? E.g., if I owed the IRS $100,000, would my Agent suddenly be responsible for paying the IRS $100,000 if I didn’t...
Does a list of lemmy instance and main language exist?
Seemingly the functionality for setting languages is never used, and a large portion of my new feed is from instances that are language specific (and not the language I speak)....
In a story, should the villain have the same skin color as the hero so that the story isn't called woke or racist?
If the hero is white, then the villain must also be white, otherwise is it racism?...
Could an animal be taught how to throw accurately?
Just thinking about how I’ve read that humans are the only animals on the planet that can throw objects with a degree of accuracy. But could a dog or other animal be taught, and trained to throw things to hit a target? I mean, it’s not like a human can throw well without guidance and practice, either.
How do touchscreen compatible materials work? (kbin.run)
got curious when I realized my bandaid was somehow touchscreen compatible, despite seemingly just being a piece of cloth. nitrile gloves work (7mil thick), and I've even got relatively thick work gloves that work.

is there a trustworthy SMS MMS app for Android that's not Google?
feeling stuck in life, wanting to study but going with the motions seems to be easier, how do I step out of this?
I thought I wanted to study piano, which means at least a bachelor. To this end I started saving and 6 months ago spent $40K on a small grand piano that I only play sometimes. I always relied on school and church pianos to play, but these are old, overplayed, cannot be properly tuned (old), the sound is awful and the mechanic...

How exactly does one eat 1500 calories a day?
I’m trying to lose weight and was told that hwo I eat about 800-1000 calories a day is too low and lowers my metobolism which will prevent weight loss. I’ve looked up some meal plans and can’t really afford stuff like chicken breast, steak, or salmon every week. So that is why I’m wondering how I can eat 1500 calories a...

Is there a community to find a community that fulfills a specific niche?
What I am looking for specifically is, is there a community for like /ihadanidea? Like a shower thought but not, like a place where I can just go and post out into the void that I had a cool idea about something and it’s just free use for anyone to do with what they will, and then once corporate hears of it, they can make it...
Why do people complain about multiple streaming platforms existing?
People (including me) complain about monopolies all the time for various reasons. At the same time, I’ve noticed a ton of complaints about the existence of multiple streaming platforms. But isn’t that a good thing at the end of the day? If streaming platforms consolidated into 2-3 companies, there wouldn’t be much stopping...
Why do I need to update my graphics drivers?
I’ll be playing a game, and then one day it won’t work. After updating my graphics drivers, it works again. But the game didn’t receive an update, so why does it just break?

Does anyone make a wearable mic set that can do audio POV field recordings?
I know people can wear two video cameras to recreate a first person experience in virtual reality. I also know they make those mannequin head stereo mic sets that create interesting spacial audio, supposedly because they mimic the head’s shape and position of our ears....
