empireOfLove, in Does anyone else feel extremely annoyed when things are even slightly imperfect?

Show me 100 users, and I will show you 100 interpretations of the "perfect" website.

There are endless annoyances and inefficiencies in every user interface. They're unavoidable. And yes, Lemmy is still largely in it's infancy and has a lot of irritating bugs to work out. But you just have to learn to work around them as best you can.

And, they'll all still be wrong!

WhoRoger, in What is your opinion about Lemmy not having karma but Kbin having reputation points?
@WhoRoger@lemmy.world avatar

I hate gamification of... Everything, but if it's just "oh hey I've been here for X years and at some point I got 5000 upvotes / 800 downvotes, that's cool I guess", I'm kinda for it actually.

It's like with videogame achievements. They're not super important for most people, but sometimes it's nice to look back at the stuff you've played or what you had to overcome. Some are addicted to it too. Real life doesn't give you much satisfaction in this way.

On reddit it was pretty useful to be able to check if an account had -100 karma before deciding whether to interact with them.

MrComradeTaco, in Does anyone else feel extremely annoyed when things are even slightly imperfect?

Used to be that way then i reached a point when I don't give a flying fuck.

Perhaps bong hits will fix these programming issues.

lorddresefer, in What would be the best way to protect a room from unwated visitors in a low-tech fantasy world?

Smoke and mirrors. Optical illusions. Puzzles. Riddles. Trap doors. Hidden sharp objects. Hidden blunt objects. Needing multiple people to complete something or turning multiple keys or keylike objects from other parts of the story perhaps?

AnaGram, in Does anyone else feel extremely annoyed when things are even slightly imperfect?

You could become an expert on what’s in the queue to be fixed and spreading the word to the people with questions / frustrations. Managing changes is as important as making the [code] changes!

Cinner, 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?

I have the solution because I too have been in this exact situation, but you can't eat much or you'll be extremely uncomfortable.

The day before you go, drink a full bottle of magnesium citrate. This will cause liquid diarrhea and completely empty you out. This is used before Colonoscopies to give the doctor a clear view.

Then for the next 3 days eat very little while taking 3 immodium each day.

You're welcome.

Since OP is pulling a Gandalf and keeping his secrets, maybe you'd care to share how you found yourself in such a no-shit scenario?

Cinner,

I'm in solidarity with OP on this one.

Or liquidarity as it would seem.

lp0101,

Magnesium Citrate does not fuck around. I used it once when constipated and it cleared me out good.

I also barely slept that night and had to take the following day off work, because i absolutely could not stop shitting for almost 24 hours

Cinner,

What's sad is I've been so constipated before (1 1/2 - 2 weeks of no pooping) that I drank a bottle of mag cit. And took some ex lax. And drank some miralax. And that still didn't do much for a few days.

Saigonauticon, in Does anyone else feel extremely annoyed when things are even slightly imperfect?

I'm in the habit of being consistently unsatisfied with my own work. Even by achieving my initial goals, I learn new ways it could have been better, and it instantly becomes mediocre in my eyes.

I think this is a good habit of mine, but it requires that I attempt to accomplish meaningful work constantly. It doesn't matter too much to me exactly what I make, as long as it's something (sometimes it's code, but sometimes it's a nightmare of brass and iron and science).

Coding is not the only thing software needs. It needs bug reports, documentation, graphical designers, funding, how-to videos, and so on. There are many problems to solve and many ways to contribute, requiring a diverse set of skills!

There's a neat math proof that proves you can code if you can follow a flowchart. However, if you don't like coding, it's unlikely to be of particular interest and perhaps those other methods of contribution would bear more fruit!

Creating new content to share on Lemmy is another way to help it grow! Tell us worthy tales, share your best thoughts!

One of the more interesting posts I've seen here

MiddleWeigh, in What do you think of people making memes/jokes about the recent Titan tragedy?
@MiddleWeigh@lemmy.world avatar

People die. Life is messy. Take it for what it's worth: a good laugh once in a while.

Those dead people are now complete.

They are human, sure. We all are.

I think they don't mind personally.

Diamondeyejack, in What is something good happening in your city/town/local area?

Love seeing the bike lanes posts. I just moved to a new area so everything is new to me. There's a little park in the neighborhood that has free music many weekends in the summer though so that's a cool thing.

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

I think it's risky if you live in the UK. We have a law called the Communications Act which has broad powers banning posting of anything which is 'grossly offensive'. It's entirely up to a court to decide what is 'grossly offensive' on a case-by-case basis.

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

Teleportation by thinking of a place

theusualuser,

That place is the time you walked in on your parents having sex.

npastaSyn,

Does not teleport your cloths.

VanillaGorilla,

Hm, I'd still take it

CanadaPlus,

Ehh. Just look up pictures of nude beaches or something.

lazylion_ca,

As you get older you keep thinking back to places that no longer exist.

BlueKey,
@BlueKey@kbin.social avatar

You are unable to control the ability and will teleport even when you are just be reminded of a place.

skillissuer,

this includes extraterrestrial and fictional places

The first time you go to a church and actually understand what they're saying as a child, you go to hell

lazylion_ca,

Thinking includes dreams and nightmares. You wake up in interesting places.

octane8183, in Unconventional Food for a 3-Day Pooping Marathon?"

Does going once continuously for 3 days count? Haribo sugar free gummy bears ought to do the trick.

Guy_Fieris_Hair, 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?

Are you by chance trapped in a submarine near the Titanic?

Aw crap we are going to need silly lemmy awards soon.

It all went downhill when they introduced actual silver. Probably earlier, but that's when the monetization spam started.

Panda, in "Connect" for Lemmy app - anyone tried it yet?

I am trying it out now! I like the layout / UI; reminds me of Boost and Joey which I liked a lot. One thing that bothers me is the colour scheme, though. In light mode it's blue (?) and dark mode is more like some weird grey mode, and I'd prefer it to be a darker grey like in most apps (perhaps it could be more customisable so that people can change it to fit their preferences).
