Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
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.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.

God I can't stand Veritasium. Even the name is so fucking pretentious. Dude is in deep love with himself, I can't watch it. There's just something about narcissists, I get an allergic reaction listening to them.
I can see that. I, like you, appreciate the content, but I have found myself watching fewer of his videos. I guess that’s also because he seems to be farming out his content production now. I like the self-produced stuff more than larger-scale productions.
Apparently the channel is owned by private equity now
I'm shocked I'm not alone, I was prepared to endure the downvote enema, good to know I'm not way off in my judgment at least.
Good news than, he recently made a video about stepping back a little and letting his colleages do more videos.
Just call him Dirk instead, he makes good videos.
Well, his name is Derek.
Yes yes I know, I like the content. I just can't stand him as a person. That's on me. I was brought up by narcissists so I have this spider sense about it and I get a visceral reaction.
