MiddleWeigh, in What is your favorite way to spend money?
@MiddleWeigh@lemmy.world avatar

Yea it's definitely guitar pedals, microphones, cymbals etc.

I don't really buy anything else but necessities anymore. I would include wise purchases into that category. Hell I don't really buy music stuff too often either. I finally have more than what I need, after struggling for a long time, but through it, I've found I never needed it to begin with. Plus I'm not having children.

I am not the best consumer. Your ad targeting is lost on me! You hear that? Yea that's right. 🖕

I feel you. I have written browser automation scripts to press "I am not interested in this ad" buttons for me it gets so bad 💀

MiddleWeigh,
@MiddleWeigh@lemmy.world avatar

That's awesome. I literally do not know how to do any of that.

Sometimes I think my own consumer tendencies kinda does the job tho. Like it doesn't know what to recommend, so it gives me the same shit I've already bought. Like literally the same guitar over and over again lmao.

TiffyBelle, in What do you think of people making memes/jokes about the recent Titan tragedy?

LevelUp, in I need to survive for 3 days without pooping, and eating as little as possible. I can pee, but not very often. It can't take up too much space. What food do I pack?
@LevelUp@dataterm.digital avatar

Eat a diet with hardly any fibre before you go. The last time I was bunged up for 4 days I had eaten a lot of meat and not enough veggies in comparison. It'll either help, or you'll just have a very big poop idk.

I would recommend lessening your fibre as a minimum if you must though!

CanadaPlus, in Why is a millennium old fossilised human poop on display at the Archaeological Resource Centre in the UK?

I like the big metal clamps holding it there.

Is it actually fossilised, if it's only a millennium old?

From How Long do Fossils Take to Form? by Raul Esperante at the Geoscience Research Institute (this is the second to last paragraph):

Contrary to what many people believe, permineralization may not take a long time. Given the right geochemical conditions during burial, permineralization can occur rapidly: ranging from within a few hours to a few years, depending on the size and nature of the original material. Scientists have reported fossilized embryos of echinoderms (sea urchins), which are extremely delicate structures. Experiments carried out to replicate those fossilized embryos show that fossilization happened in a very short span of time.[7] Experiments show that mineralization of soft tissue of shrimp with calcium phosphate mediated by bacterial decomposition may start in a few days and increase in 4 to 8 weeks after death, possibly leading to fossilization.[8] This is an example of fossilization involving mineral precipitation that occurs during the decay process caused by bacteria. The British paleontologists David Martill studied in detail the preservation of fishes and other animals in rocks of the Lower Cretaceous of the Chapada do Araripe, north-east Brazil, and found that they have preserved the most delicate structures known in the fossil record. Gills, muscles, stomachs and even eggs with yolks have been found. These are cases of exceptional preservation by phosphatization—mineralization by calcium phosphate. Martill concludes that many of the fine details preserved in those fossils became mineralized within a span of time of 5 hours or less after death, and calls this instantaneous fossilization.[9] I have studied fossils of whales in the Pisco Formation in Peru in which the baleen structure (the filtering organ in the mouth of the whales) has been partially mineralized and preserved in anatomical position, which is a case of exceptional preservation because baleen is not bony tissue and is not rooted in the maxillary. Baleen tends to detach from the whale and decay rather quickly after death, nevertheless it is preserved in life position in many of those fossil specimens. I have suggested that the whales must have been rapidly buried and the baleen rapidly mineralized in order to become preserved.[10]

Yamspunk, in You can have any superpower, but the first person to reply chooses a side effect

The ability to move anything

DarkenLM,

You move the exact same distance into the opposite direction of the moved object, even if there already exists another object in that space.

You are not able to move while lifting anything

fievel, in Is there a listing of which instance each subreddit moved to?
sussy_gussy, in For everyone new to Lemmy, how are you finding the experience?

I'm having a great time. Lemmy is a little bit harder than Reddit but I have been on Mastodon for some time now so I know how federation works. The only thing about Lemmy I don't like is that it feels kinda buggy and unpolished as it is very early stage and the same posts often reappear. But I like the community and it actually seems to be working so that's pretty cool!

heartlessevil, in What are some good ways to cure boredom while indoors?

Do you have other ways to get around? Maybe moving to a place that does? I realize I'm not answering your question, but there's only so much fun you can have indoors by yourself all the time. You'll end up feeling bored eventually no matter what. You specifically mentioned that outside is scary, which I think is the core problem here. Doing some exposure therapy by yourself or with guidance from a therapist could help.

j_erasmo, in What do you think of people making memes/jokes about the recent Titan tragedy?

Most of what I have seen on the meme communities I follow have been par-and-course with what I expected to see on internet. Although I agree that it is morally wrong to joke with malintent when someone passes, I think humor is a normal response to tragedy. As long as the memes aren't egregious about it, then they still get a chuckle out of me and help me feel better about the situation.

Ability to successfully persuade any living being to do what I want them to do.

skillissuer,

it requires days of careful observation of that living being at least to prepare persuasion speech. the speech takes entire day even for simplest tasks and you can't do virtually anything else by sheer intensity required

Your entire family was murdered in a dark city alley to lead to your powers.

SevFTW,

Damn the last time that happened I only inherited immense wealth and used it to beat up street level criminals

theusualuser,

Don't worry, he'll convince a genius to create a time machine. Problem solved.

Jon-H558,

You are never truly sure again if people are actually listening to you or even like you or they are just enchanted by your power. You are never again able to form meaningful relationships with that doubt in you mind, you can never find true love and become a recluse.

Fly with farts.

theusualuser,

You have uncurable IBS

Bradamir,

The only way you can generate fart power is by eating poo.

Yeah, but then you get to have a cool catchphrase like, "Eat shit and fly".

Link69, in It would be cool to have Lemmy pen pals. Asklemmy, what are your hobbies and what's your life like?
@Link69@lemmy.world avatar

I’m a software engineer and as a hobby I organize events and play Super Smash Bros. Melee competitively!

Also I like to travel in Asia and plan to move there probably next year 😁

cwagner, in It would be cool to have Lemmy pen pals. Asklemmy, what are your hobbies and what's your life like?

Late 30s German guy, married a South African. Hobbies are listening to metal and folk rock, watching tv shows and complaining that movies are dumb, selfhosting, and playing CRPGs.
