derf82, in Why is youtube recommending conservative "talking points" to me?

I get them all the time. Pro-gun crap, Jordon Peterson, Joe Rogan, and other trash. I constantly hit “don’t recommend this channel” or “show me less of this” but they still come. I honestly think Youtube is getting paid off.

jossbo,

Anger drives engagement because your m more likely to comment when you’re angry. If you’re fine you probably just move on. So the algorithm prioritises stuff that makes people angry.

dystop, in what was your first video game/system you played or remember playing?

I used to play this RTS called Dune 2000 i think. It was my first ever RTS and it was mindblowing.

Lifting: I definitely don’t like while I’m doing it.

Riding my bike though: it’s great to get out there early in the morning and explore, see nature, etc. with the bike, I also just like the feeling of speed, so the physical act of riding can actually be enjoyable.

To a lesser degree, the same can apply to running. I find that when I’ve been in better shape, I could experience that runner’s high.

cmoney, in Does anyone actually enjoy working out?

Recently bought a rowing machine, gotta say I enjoy taking my frustrations from the day and putting that energy into rowing.

float, in What's the point of buying new phones every years?

Galaxy S10e gang checking in. Resoldered the USB port because it was corroded. Everything else is working perfectly fine. No plans to ditch it as of now.

Got any clues on a modern compact device, other than Asus Zenfone 10? Its getting so bad for us compact enjoyers, and all the research makes me end up either on Zenfones, Sonys and budget Oppos/Vivos.

spauldo, in What's the hottest and coldest temperature you've ever been in?

Hottest? No idea. I’ve never liked the heat and avoid it when I can.

Coldest? Easy. Forty feet (12 meters) up on top of a jet fuel tank in Thule, Greenland helping to change the cover on an automatic tank gauge. It was in the -40s on the ground (doesn’t matter which scale) and windy. I don’t know how much colder it was on top of the tank, but it was certainly colder than it was on the ground.

MixedUpMarbles, in What's the point of buying new phones every years?

There is a HUGE difference in 4 and 12 GB of ram if you’re using 20 different apps at once that are all running background tasks.

The camera raw megapixel are of little significance these days but things like optical zoom or a larger sensor and aperture make a lot of difference.

The main reason to upgrade otherwise is unsupported OS versions. you’ll stop getting security updates leaving your phone vulnerable to attack.

4 GB is not sufficient. Glad to have bought a 6 GB RAM device 4 years ago. 6-8 GB RAM is more than sufficient, 12 is overkill. There is some device now even with 24 GB RAM.

Because controversy makes money and conservatism is filled with controversial opinions and purposely obtuse takes intended to spark conversation and promote divisiveness. That’s the grift.

promitheas, 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?

Your last three posts are a roller coaster in wondering “What’s this guy up to?”. Thanks for the laughs

limecool,

It must be troll posts. No way this is real

Xiphorang, in Does anyone else struggle with silence, particularly when trying to sleep?

Yes, I can't stand complete silence. I have a fan going at pretty much all times, summer or winter, and I definitely can't sleep without it. I have a white noise generator, but I prefer the fan because I'm so used to the airflow that the room feels dead and suffocating without it now.

hellequin67, in What password manager do you recommend?

Now I don’t need to worry about forgetting passwords anymore

Only problem is now I don’t know any of my passwords, apart from master password for BW. 🤣

Norgur,

Chances are that I don't really care about the account if I used @duck.com as a mail alias and a bitwarden password which is the only constellation where an account might be unrecoverable without BitWarden.

highduc, 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?

This is the kind of post we need around here :)

I suggest you do poop, your plan atm sounds cartoonishly stupid and likely to blow up in your face.

Do keep us posted though!

flambonkscious,

With photos, preferably...

Or blow up in someone's face.

Good luck and stay safe!

3 days without pooping are perfectly doable. I’ve done it before when I was younger

eyy, (edited )

I don't have anything to add, I'm just planting my flag here so I can say I was here at the beginnings of lemmylore.

Here, have a cat picture as an offering:

@GT87@lemmy.world avatar

I recently started and I fucking hate it. I need a ‘reason’ like playing a sport. So for now my motivation is my daughter. So I can keep up with her. And I’m going to try join the local soccer club next year as a carrot on a stick to aim for.

spauldo, in Does anyone else struggle with silence, particularly when trying to sleep?

My father and my son both can’t sleep without a fan. Ceiling fans don’t count because they’re too quiet.

When we moved from the middle of town (a block from the railroad tracks, no less) out here to the country, my girlfriend had trouble sleeping because it was too quiet. Then she had trouble sleeping because of my snoring. You just can’t please some people :)

I can’t sleep if I can hear voices. Other noises generally don’t bother me, but my brain tries to listen to whatever is being said.

charlytune, in What's the hottest and coldest temperature you've ever been in?

Hottest would be 49°C in Marrakech, in the middle of August. I remember Moroccans talking about how hot it was, and a big thunderstorm broke that evening with torrential rain.

Coldest would be at home in the UK. Probably the coldest I’ve experienced would be about -7°C, that’s pretty extreme where I am though and it would be the night time temperature. I remember a few years ago going clubbing in winter and someone robbed my coat, I had to walk home at 3am in about -3°C with my friends trying to keep me warm. Not fun.
