You are diagnosed with cancer but have no money for treatment. You've no option but to steal the money somehow. What's your plan?
Assume you’re life-lusted and are willing to abandon every moral you have just to live. Paying for cancer treatment is also worth prison time to you....
What is the greatest sin you've done in your life?
Why did Japanese samurai shave the tops of their heads, leave the sides long, and have a small pony tail tied in the back?
I’m reading Vagabond and noticed that the samurai who are learning swordsmanship at a dojo will have this hairstyle, so is it just to show that they are students st a dojo?
There's no concise way to turn concise into a noun
You can speak concisely, or prefer concise writing, but not quite with concision. I prefer conciseness? Conciquity? Concisement? Why is there no noun for this word??
Why don't given names vary more per region?
like town names are very unique; you probably couldn’t find the same 2 towns next to each other very often...
Furries of Lemmy, what made you decide on the species for your main fursona? Why did you choose that specific species?
What do you like to do on vacation?
ELI5: What is scat? The internet one.
I have a feeling it isn’t related to a fun musical style or animal poo. I also get the feeling I don’t want to Google it. Can I get an explanation fit for a 5 year old, in tone and verbiage....
Why were the TOS movies better than the TNG movies?
(Not including the reboot trilogy as that’s a different altogether topic)...
Could you compress text files by mapping a word to how commonly it is used and translating it with an application?
It’s a bit of a weird shower thought but basically I was wondering hypothetical if it would be possible to take data from a social media site like Reddit and map the most commonly used words starting at 1 and use a separate application to translate it back and forth....

What do you think of our lord and saviour Odysee.com?
Yeah, I have been hearing about Youtube blocking ad blocks for a while now and I thought maybe Firefox + uBlock Origin is holding ads at bay for a while, but yeah, it happened today. uBlock origin has been unable to block some ads for me and I am thinking of leaving Youtube. I searched day and night (wink wink) for an...
I have an itch to learn more and research. PhD is an option, but comes with either a financial or physical/emotional burden. Should I pursue a PhD, or scratch the itch in some other way?

Recommendations for a Linux system backup tool
I am currently using EndeavourOS for my laptop. Is there a backup solution that is easy to use, and can be run from the EndeavourOS install media without internet? (RSync is included, but no other backup tools are included, to my knowledge.) I don’t want to use another ISO due to space constraints on my USB.

Can I faraday cage my ISP-issued router in order to use my own?
I have a family member living on my property in a separate but adjacent living space, close enough together to share my router’s wifi. She likes to let her youtube app endlessly autoplay talking head news videos at full volume due to her hearing loss, and this goes on for a few hours in the mornings. The sound through the...
