vis4valentine, in In which game did you spend the most hours?
@vis4valentine@lemmy.ml avatar

AOE II was my childhood. I played that game for years.

SparkyTemper, in Be honest, do you still use reddit?

fuck no

yarr, 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?
@yarr@lemmy.fmhy.ml avatar

Taking bets:

  • Participating in a competitive event where bathroom breaks are minimal or non-existent, such as a long-distance, multi-day gaming or eSports tournament.
  • Attending a religious or spiritual retreat where fasting or avoiding certain bodily functions is part of the practices or rituals.
  • Engaging in a survival challenge or a bet where the person has to limit food intake and avoid defecating for a certain period of time.
  • Undergoing a specific medical procedure or test that requires limiting food intake and avoiding bowel movements for a few days.
  • Participating in a scientific experiment or study where they have to control their diet and bowel movements.
  • Partaking in a performance art piece or protest where he's limiting his bodily functions as part of the statement.
  • Attending an event (like a music festival or convention) where bathroom facilities are notoriously unclean or inconvenient, and they want to avoid using them as much as possible.
  • Embarking on a long journey where bathroom facilities may not be readily available or convenient, such as a cross-country road trip or sailing expedition.
  • Participating in a reality TV show or film production where bathroom breaks are limited or inconvenient.
  • Engaging in a personal challenge or self-imposed discipline practice related to endurance or minimalism.
lowleveldata,
  • Just doing it for the sake of it because life is short

I'm betting on this one

666dollarfootlong,

My guess: Airsoft/paintball whatever MilSim operation.

Edit: OP is a sniper in said operation. Perhaps re-enactment of The killing of Osama Bin Laden?

Darorad,

I don't see bottoming on that list

Okay I'll give in a tiny bit only because this barely narrows it down: one of them is ridiculously close to what is actually the case. Like, I'm actually doing the thing you mentioned in the point, just your reasoning is wrong.

P.S.: The actual reasoning is borderline impossible for anyone to guess so just stop trying guys.

rackmountrambo,

You can poop in the shipping container dude, what are the people shoulder to shoulder to you going to do? Leave?

LufyCZ,

Just for readability, these are the options with reasoning:

  • Attending an event (festivalor convention)
  • Long journey, such as a cross-country trip (probably this one, as OP mentioned walking+travelling by train)
  • Reality TV Show / film
Sleo,

He’s probably out on the Hajj, they travel to some of the key points by train. The bathroom facilities are not ideal and that’s why he is asking for ways to trim down his poop times.

LufyCZ,

But he said that he’d make the whole trip twice and that he’d be able to poop the second time

Sleo,

As part of the hajj, the entire community travels to various points in and around the city. One of the points that’s only for a few days is in Mina, which is basically a tent city outside the official boundaries of the city of Makkah. When they are in the tent (it’s a fancy tent, air conditioned but with zero privacy with 20 other guys), the bathrooms there are communal, which in turn are not the cleanest in the world. Most of them are the eastern squatty potty style. Let’s just say not going there for a poop seems very tempting. The counter to it is, most of the food there is free, and it is really good… So it’s a very delicate balance to say the least.

This is all speculation on my part, given the timing of it. For all we know it could be some weird kinky camping thing the guy is into!

firipu,

Is it a sex thing? Please don't let it be a sex thing.

redonyo,

So much of what we do is horrible now a days. It would be nice if it was just a sex thing

You are donating your poop for fecal implants.

You're going to a Burning Man-style event and you don't want to poop on June 25th because it's Anne Frank's birthday and in your pursuit to become the true Hide & Seek Champion you think it would be best/hilarious to "Anne Frank" your poop for three days

eyy,

Congratulations, you're the first person in the world to use that sentence.

@L3s@lemmy.world avatar

One of those scenarios + poop shy around S/O, S/O family, or friends is my guess.

Edit: also, cheese, lots of cheese.

Edit2: is this the new "found a safe"?

JesusTheCarpenter,

Why would he not want to say the reason though? If that was the case, the OP could just say he is a shy pooper. Instead we now suspect that this is some kind of orgy with a fetish.

LufyCZ,

They said that facilities would be everywhere "as normal".

Also, they said they'd be taking travelling, the same route twice, first time around they can't poop, second time they can.

L3s,
@L3s@lemmy.world avatar

Not sure how this goes against my theory?

whyNotSquirrel,
@whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works avatar

yeah, other people could move after day 3, allowing them to fume the tent

Cyreld, in Be honest, do you still use reddit?

I do for a few communities where I want news updates that doesn’t seem to have anything comparable here yet.

Other than that though, I try to limit any mindless scrolling to lemmy (managed to cut that down a lot)

JoeKrogan, in best foss peer to peer, encrypted file transfer app
@JoeKrogan@lemmy.world avatar

Depending on the size signal could work. Syncthing would also do it too for any file size.

jackpot,
@jackpot@lemmy.ml avatar

syncthing? like nextcloud right?

lemminer,

syncthing.net

“Syncthing is a continuous file synchronization program. It synchronizes files between two or more computers in real time, safely protected from prying eyes. Your data is your data alone and you deserve to choose where it is stored, whether it is shared with some third party, and how it’s transmitted over the internet.”

JoeKrogan, (edited )
@JoeKrogan@lemmy.world avatar

Not exactly, nextcloud is more akin to Dropbox where as syncthing just keeps the folders in sync so if you delete or move a file out of the folder the file will be removed on the other machine(s).

But it is peer to peer so you can create a folder, copy your file in and someone else can sync with you using the unique code for your share. The whole thing is encrypted and nobody else can read or intercept the data and it also works great even if you need to interrupt and resume it later . when the transfer has completed if the recipient moves the file it will be deleted from the original folder on your machine. So thats why its best to create a copy to share.

You can do read only shares etc but the official docs go into more detail there

mustbe3to20signs,

No, Syncthing isn’t a self hosted cloud but a real p2p transfer tool.
There are discovery servers enabling devices to find each other but files are rarely transferred through them.

Chozo, in The new Reddits

Gotta say, I liked seeing this on Trust Cafe's FAQs:

Is Trust Café a 'Free Speech Platform'?
No. Emphatically not. Trust Café's mission is to provide a non-toxic social media platform, which cannot happen in an environment where anything goes. We take a proactive stance against hate speech, harassment, and misinformation.

No that sounds more fun than what I do. I help big orgs adapt XR (like vr headsets) to their workflows.

pathief, in What's with the corporate obsession with customer feedback?
@pathief@lemmy.world avatar

Who wouldn’t want a ton of feedback about the service provided?

I wish my costumers provided me with all their genuine feedback, all the things they hate about our app and why.

snooggums,
@snooggums@kbin.social avatar

Have you tried spamming their inbox every time they use your app like everyone else?

pathief,
@pathief@lemmy.world avatar

It’s a corporate app so it’s harder to reach the actual end user.

SilentFury, in In which game did you spend the most hours?

All of these comments have amateur numbers. My most played is wow and over all of my characters its on the order of 500 days.

bran_buckler, in What are some of your favorite literary vignettes?

Depending on your definition of literary, one of my favorites was Hellboy’s My Vacation in Hell. If I end up finding a version posted somewhere, I’ll add a link.

AlternateRoute, in I feel like /c/memes has taught us a valuable lesson today: Would it make sense to develop a feature to block a comm from our feed for a selectable unit of time (1 hour, 1 day, etc.)?

it isn’t just /c/memes looking at the global feed I felt like I was blocking meme related communities for a while yesterday.

I think the core app needs some simple text filters for communities and posts or hopefully some of the client apps will implement that a number of the meme subs at least have the word meme in their name.

Same could be said for NSFW subs, but we at least have a global toggle for those at if they have been correctly tagged.

NENathaniel, in In which game did you spend the most hours?

Quake Champions for sure. Best competitive shooter I’ve ever played (and I’ve tried all the popular ones), great option if you like movement & aim centric games

Zippy, in Have you had any bad experiences with people on Lemmy?

Personally I prefer a bit of conflict as it encourages discussion and alternate opinions. The discussions are pretty short when everyone agrees.

Phantom_Engineer, in Be honest, do you still use reddit?
@Phantom_Engineer@lemmy.ml avatar

Yeah, but with RedReader. There’s a few niche subs I like that aren’t well-established here yet.
