Ask Lemmy

I'm hoping to find a turtleneck with a turtle on it, or something with a similar vibe. It's not surprisingly difficult to find listings on Etsy or elsewhere that gave both the words "turtle" and "turtleneck".

I'm going to play a turtle person in an upcoming TRRPG game, and I wanted a fun shirt to commemorate it. I'll buy a plain green and figure out an iron-on patch if I must, but this feels like something that should already exist!

Would appreciate another set of eyes.

They now have money, no one can see if they're good looking and a powerful job, and still no one likes them.

These are all good people and worth fighting for. Did you all leave the country? It doesn't have to be to raise money, it could just be to show how awesome these people are/were.

It always feels strange once the orchestra stops playing and it's the composer that bows for applause.

Now there's NodeBB. Although it doesn't yet have an Android app, I'm excited about the potential return of old-school forum software that it represents.

I recently saw someone creating a bingo chart for 2025 so I decided to create one for 2026 (image of this post). What are your predictions for 2026?

Lobster is so so so overrated. 75% of the weight is shell. You could get tiger or argentinian shrimp for the same price per pound if not cheaper and you get 4 times more edible meat by weight.

Like when I was a kid, seeing all the holiday decor around the neighborhood, the stores, the streets, always felt cozy. I don’t get that feeling anymore. I get the memory of it, but not the actual feeling. I don’t think I got jaded but maybe I did. What about you?

There are lots of cultural opposition movements online, like against work exploitation, consummerism, car culture, surveillance, intellectual property, etc. I can find communities on lemmy for all those topics. But regarding a more general opposition to advertisements and marketing, other than the occasional person telling others to use adblockers online (what about ads in every day life?), I fail to see organized attempts to challenge advertisements. There is a lot that can be scrutinized. Ethical concerns such as manipulation, lack of consent and just the simple fact your attention is for sale. The effects range from damage to environment, to our mental health, to harming industries themselves, lowering product quality and maintaining monopolies.

Things along the range of:

"Checklist - 1. Ensure that the thing is on."

I've seen stories of people who just don't get it and need their hands held all the time, so what are things where you kinda feel that things are a bit too "hand-holdy"?

OQB @lemuria@lemmy.ml

Photos, journalist, audio recordings, video, blogging, printing photos, making music, posting online etc...

How do you record certain events? Make a journal entry? Just keep it in your memory to yourself?

How do you trust you wont forget the small details that you know today?

How do you trust the security of your documented life? your journal, your printed photos?

You you like analogue or digital documentation? Do you store data on HHDs? (they have a ~30 year lifespan) Mdisk? Photos? Pen and Paper?

Childhood memories? How do you view these archives?

Do you even believe in documenting the events of your life? Is it important to you? The quicker you write down an event, the more emotion you can convey.

What do you do and don't do?
