Is it just because I'm high, or is this Markus Söder as Shrek? 
I really hate cars, I do. But I think in rural Finnland they actually might be the only viable means of transportation
Manche Leute spielen sich gerne auf, also erstmal ruhig bleiben. Wenn es ein öffentliches Gelände ist, hat sie eigentlich kein Recht dich vom Platz zu verweisen. Wenn du kein Tor oder ähnliches durchquert hast, kann man die auch kein Hausfriedensbruch vorwerfen.
Im Zweifel soll sie das Ordnungsamt rufen, und die werden die Sache dann schon klären.
Honestly it's fucked up how our school system treats children. We need to talk about racism but also about how children are not to be seen as some sort of human clay that we need to form into whatever we see fit.
Can someone explain why this shark is so popular in Internet culture? I even saw an IKEA ad meming about it and I just don't understand 🤷
Is this real?
Original picture:
I think pay what you can/want is a great concept, but calling it donation is kinda misleading
Sitting cross legged is so comfortable and can convey so much emotions. I don't know why anyone would see it as feminine
I think that was the first porn I ever saw (I was like 12 years old). Really weird that back then, showing someone a disgusting or disturbing video was considered a good prank.
If you have enough money to live comfortably, I think you should pay for art you love. That doesn't mean you shouldn't pirate anything (especially from big corps), but please donate some money to indie games, music, theatre...
First, I want to say how great it is to see success in a social media platform not owned by some giant cooperation. That said, right now we are at a turning point where we can still change the platform in major ways and I think we all have a shared interested in Lemmy becoming the best it could be.
Let's face it, Reddit had many problems even before the API changes. The toxic herd mentality, over and under moderation at the same time, small posts getting drowned out by already big ones and so much more. As you probably are already aware of, social media can quickly end in filter bubbles, extremization and bringing out the worst of the human psyche. These are not problems simply fixed by better moderation. Rather, these are problems resulting from the engagement driven design of most platforms (Post controversial statement -> many comments -> Post gets delivered to more people -> even more engagement -> ...) I want Lemmy to be a place that brings people together instead of dividing us apart.
Therefore, I wanna start a conversation on what design changes Lemmy should implement in the future to make sure the platform remains humane and everyone can engage in respectful conversations.
I think a good starting point are the recourses of the Center for Humane Technology, like their course on Foundations of Humane Technology
I'm looking forward to hearing your opinions and ideas on this :)
Actually Hunter Gatherer Tribes spent just around 4 hours a day hunting and gathering. Including food preparation and consumption they spent 40 hours a week wich is less than modern humans (if you count work + cooking)

Of course hunger, famines, illness, suffering and death were frequent occurrences (so I wouldn't want to switch places), but for most of human history we had enough time and recourse for random shit like socializing, drawing, singing, dancing, sacrifices, worshipping gods and so on.
