I’ll start: My first GF and I didn’t use protection. We used the pull out technique. FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR! I was 19 and could have ruined my life then and there.

In the past, we’ve had issues with women suffrage, slavery, and sanitation, among many other things....

Dear community, often, when people mention they listen to “hard music”, I just don’t feel the energy in what they show me. Many times I get to hear just monotonous, noisy, wannabe-hard sounds, but they fail to “transport energy” to me. I am looking for absolute bangers, no matter the genre. Pretty much the pinnacle of...

Conversely, can the republicans of Lemmy say just ONE nice thing about Joe Biden?

My pet peeve is the Finnish name “Yrjö”. It comes from the Greek name “Geôrgios”, which means farmer, but nowadays the word “yrjö” means vomit. ‘Unique spellings’ like some “Everleigh” also drive me crazy.

The reasoning is some dog urine effected dead spots. Honestly I didn’t even notice them, it’s 95° here and all the...

We have next door neighbors that are Muslim and are so very kind. They bring us plates of food when they cook and they even scared away some kids trying to steal our car at 2 in the morning....

Used to have a funny picture of my cat as my profile picture on Signal, but I removed it later on. Now, I don’t use one on my personal accounts.

I was reading a book on social life of the upper-middle class and new rich of the American 1920s and realized so many things we now do proudly were considered socially taboo back then. This was especially the case for clothing, makeup, women in certain public spaces, etc. What do you think will be different in the 2120s? Or...

Is it really 33% nuts, 33% raisins or dried cranberries, and 33% chocolate? Or is it a different percentage? I think it may be 40-40-20, or 35-35-30.

You are buried in a coffin 6ft deep, with no light or cell phone. There is only a small tube connected to the coffin from outside that allows you to breathe (edit: you can breathe with no difficulty). After 48 hours, you are dug up and given 1 million dollars. Do you do it?...

Obviously teenager is 13-19....

For a start, floating might be really fun, but what else might you get up to?

Every day I am noticing more and posts by bots....

Is this really true?...

So, yes, I am a reddit refugee. I have played around a bit in lemmy with liftoff & lemmy.world and so far it’s great....
