jaackf, in What would happen if we put a giant glass tinted dome over each city?

EPA… EPA

jaackf, in what's something you watched because the poster made it look awesome and it turned out really lame?

Downsizing. One of the most misleading advertising campaigns ever. One of the worst movies I’ve ever seen!

There is a save feature.

Not yet on kbin.social which is where that user is participating from.

Though there's always the good old bookmark.

frippa, in People from the "hotter" regions, how do you deal with the heat?
@frippa@lemmy.ml avatar

I’m from central Italy, in my city temperatures regularly reach 40 degrees in August. With the recent heatwave we reached it in mid July, I cope by being indoors and locking myself in with AC on and drinking ice cold water, and when I can (and I fortunately can afford so) going on vacation in colder, still close, places, something like Abruzzo or Molise if you know central Italy.

Zerlyna, in Lemmy, what are your "missed flight" stories?
@Zerlyna@lemmy.world avatar

I missed my flight once at the Philadelphia airport because the airport parking shuttle was half hour late. 🤬 too late to board the plane.

Probably not entirely related but I like Judge Judy’s comment: If something doesn’t make sense, it probably isn’t true.

Well, Time Dilation doesn’t fucking make sense to me. How can time be different based on velocity and gravity? Einstein must be a liar.

C4d,

Ditto magnets. How do they work?

Breno,
@Breno@lemmy.fmhy.ml avatar

Lol I get your point. Again, the context of the quote probably isn’t relevant but it was the first thing I thought of. Time dilation makes sense to me after much research. There was certainly an aha! moment with that one.

AnalogyAddict,

Human behavior isn’t nearly as complicated as time dilation. And not making sense TO YOU doesn’t mean it doesn’t make sense to someone with over 30 years in the relevant field.

masterspace,

The problem with Judge Judy’s quote though is that time dilation doesn’t make sense to most people, that doesn’t mean most people should live lives assuming it’s not true. Conversely if it just means that it has to make sense to someone but not you then it’s meaningless because there’s someone crazy enough to believe everything.

masterspace,

Human behavior isn’t nearly as complicated as time dilation

Human behaviour is far more complicated than time dilation. Time dilation is one weird phenomena that can be described and predicted with a handful of equations, human behaviour is inherently complex to the point of being chaotically unpredictable

AnalogyAddict,

I used to think human behavior was complex, too, but it’s really not. Definitely not in the sense of small claims court.

bionicjoey,
BestBouclettes, in Lemmy, what are your "missed flight" stories?

My flight had to turn around because of frost issues. 3h later we left Jersey again for London and obviously I missed my flight. The airport was going to shut down pretty soon and the company only made arrangements at the last minute for a hotel and a taxi. I took the first flight back to my country at like 6am, it was a long day afterwards.

BrikoX, in Does discuss/discourse have federation?
@BrikoX@lemmy.zip avatar

Not an official implementation, but there were extensive talks about it and someone was working on a plugin.

inspxtr,

Is that only between an instance of discourse and the rest of fediverse? Does it also apply for different discourse instances talking to each other?

Essentially, I’m wondering whether I can use 1 account to comment across different forums.

BrikoX,
@BrikoX@lemmy.zip avatar

Not familiar with the specifics, sorry.

inspxtr,

gotcha, thanks for the link btw!

JoeClu, in what's something you watched because the poster made it look awesome and it turned out really lame?
@JoeClu@lemmy.world avatar

Krull

Watched in theater in 1983. Was bad, really bad.

yuunikki,

I’ve heard of this

davidgro,

I like campy movies, so I liked this one. It’s so very 80s fantasy/sci-fi.

YourFavouriteNPC, in What anime world would you rather not live in?

Plenty! Apart from the obvious horror stuff like Berserk, worlds where humans face constant threats of extinction by herculean threats like Evangelion or AoT (on Paradis, at least), or “society is gone” endtime settings like Dr. Stone, one that comes to my mind especially is Psycho Pass. I’d rather not spend life in an Orwellian dystopia, thanks.

On a side note: I think the world of Dragon Ball wouldn’t be half bad actually. Highly advanced technology, a diverse society (a dog for a king! Need I say more?) and the guarantee that an afterlife exists. Not to mention that on the off chance a villain kills a bunch of people again, they’ll be wished back to life by the heroes once they’ve inevitably won.

Pika,
@Pika@lemmy.world avatar

you gotta be careful with the afterlife though, only heros make it past judgement iirc most get turned away for aimless wander or whatever it was

JackbyDev, in Getting Over a Breakup

It’s just gonna take time. Even if you’re doing all the right things to speed it up it will still be awhile.

Try to distract yourself. Don’t try to totally ignore it or anything but trying to do some fun activities will help you get out of the gunk somewhat.

@Redpandalovely@midwest.social avatar

Thank you

SirEDCaLot, in Getting Over a Breakup

First- understand that everyone goes through this, everybody has an answer for you, but the answer that worked for them may not work for you. There’s no right or wrong answer. A lot of people say ‘the way to get over someone is to get under someone’ personally I’ve never subscribed to that sort of thinking. It leads to unhealthy rebound relationships IMHO.

The only thing that will really fix this is time. So there is no magic bullet. There are things you can do to help though or pass the time faster. The biggest one is find ways to not ruminate. Focus your attention on other things, ideally useful things. Take some time to improve yourself in fun ways. Hit the gym is an obvious one, but I generally recommend take up a hobby or learn an instrument or take a class. Basically learn some fun new skill and focus your attention on that. It serves as a distraction from your grief, but also a source of engagement and a little happiness.
It WILL get better.

Redpandalovely,
@Redpandalovely@midwest.social avatar

I agree about the unhealthy rebound relationships and everything else you said.

Countess425, in Getting Over a Breakup
@Countess425@lemmy.world avatar

Working out and exercising will help boost your seratonin and dopamine levels AND make you too tired to ruminate much at bed time.

Redpandalovely,
@Redpandalovely@midwest.social avatar

Thanks! I do think this will help me.

modemnoise, in Getting Over a Breakup

Going through a break up sucks. Like really sucks. There’s no getting around it that I’ve found. It does get better after some time (maybe a lot of time), but I wouldn’t worry about that right now. Exercise seemed to help me with some of the overthinking and rumination. Over time it will get less raw and you’ll likely develop some perspective that will help, But for now take time to grieve and feel sad.

Granixo, in Getting Over a Breakup
@Granixo@feddit.cl avatar

Take your time, and try to focus on yourself. It’s normal to feel uneven when someone/something that’s meaningful for you suddently (or forcefully) goes away.

And not because you broke up with that person it means you cannot reamain friends.

But right now you got to get on your feet. (unless you have a cat over your chest, in that case do not move).

Be kind to yourself! :)
