Why aren't there more worker co-ops?
Even when I was living in a very liberal area, there were only a small handful of stores that advertised as worker co-ops. It’s funny too because those co-op stores were all incredibly popular and successful, so I don’t understand why they are so comparatively rare? The organizational structure seems simple to maintain, and...
Since we know where you keep your phone, what hand do you hold it in when using it?

Is there a name for this tune/cadence?
I’m sure most of you have heard a chant/cheer using the tune/cadence I’m talking about, but it’s really hard to describe something like this in text.

Does anyone experience this? Is it possible that I will I remember my early adult years...

Into which pocket do you place your phone?
Despite being right handed, it feels more comfortable to place my phone in my left front pocket. Maybe because having a wallet in my right pocket predates using mobile phones. What feels most natural for you?
Why GitHub?
I can’t help but notice most (all I’ve seen anyway) of the federated projects are hosted on GitHub. GitLab is also not federated, but can be self hosted and has at least discussed it....

Why can't multiple computers be linked to run different probabilities simultaneously to accomplish the same as a quantum computer?
The title says it all. If qubits can be in the position of a 1 and 0, why can’t multiple computers using 1s and 0s accomplish the same thing?
Was lemmygrad refederated with lemmy.world or was it never defederated?

Why does my compost pile not attract flies?
We have been composting for about 6 months now, and I’ve noticed that flies leave it alone. Crows will pick through it, and it’s got a ton of worms but no flies. I have flies in my yard, but they avoid the compost. I’m following guidelines on what I can and cannot put in it. Any ideas? Not that I want flies in it at all,...
