A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

We’re more aware of it. We constantly drink from a firehouse of outrage and anxiety. Yea technology
Exactly this, back in the 1900s your scope was much more limited. Before radio, it was the range of the farthest newspaper. Before the Internet, it was the range of the phone networks. Now we have filled in most corners of the map, you can read resturant menus in Tokyo, place bets on teams playing in Mexico City, and all while sitting in your flat in Dublin. The world has always been a shitty place, its just much easier to be aware of it.
The schizophrenic village elder has foretold the past present and future and he says the future is he gets to diddle your youngest son and daughter.
The past was shit, that's why we are shit now. But we don't always have to be shit. Maybe if we work really hard we could be fertilizer for the future.
Outrage? You should be mad as hell
