blackbrook, in What is the weirdest thing that your family does together?

I don't know what your families nationality is, but this is very common in some countries (not for memorial day, specifically, but picnicking in the cemetery on a holiday).

KittenBiscuits,

Yes, I found out from my Filipino friends that picnicking among ones ancestors was a thing. Or at least for their family, it was. I kind of like the idea now as a sentimental activity, but kid me thought it was macabre.

100beep, 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?

To answer the actual question, cheese and meat.

Bageler,

Unless lactose intolerance is a factor. Then just meat. A lot of jerky.

The best case result is 1.001.000.000 (A+B) vs 1.000.000.000 (B) only. Worst case is I have 1.000.000 only.

I go with B only because the difference feels tiny / irrelevant.

Maybe I actually have free will and this is not determism kicking in, but who knows. I‘m not in for the odds with such a tiny benefit.

wols,

Well if you actually have free will, how can the machine predict your actions?

What if someone opened box B and showed you what was in it? What would that mean? What would you do?

kthxbye_reddit,
@kthxbye_reddit@feddit.de avatar

I meant, let’s imagine the machine predicted B and is wrong (because I take A+B). I would call that scenario „I have free will - no determinism.“ Then I will have 1.000.000.000 „only“. That’s a good result.

Maybe interesting: Wiki - Determinism

OptimusFine,

Worst case is I have 1.000.000 only.

Except that's not the worst case. If the machine predicted you would pick A&B, then B contains nothing, so if you then only picked B (i.e. the machine's prediction was wrong), then you get zero. THAT'S the worst case. The question doesn't assume the machine's predictions are correct.

Good point. Actually I was assuming that the machine’s predictions were never wrong. That’s also what is defined in the Newcomb’s Paradox wiki page.

If that‘s not a 100% given, you are definitely right.

maniac, (edited ) in How would you explain to a new user how Lemmy works?

Would it be better to refer to servers as "websites"?

Users can make their own website or instance, there you can choose one to look through. It doesn’t matter where you choose to go since you can view all communities that are in the Lemmy network no matter what website they’re from.

MacroCyclo,

I mean they do have their own domain, but each one is viewable from the other ones, so it seems like a bad comparison there. It kind of reminds me of RSS feeds.

elykl33t, in What is the weirdest thing that your family does together?

After big family meals those of us doing the dishes blast Abba and all sing along as we do it

KittenBiscuits,

haha, that sounds awesome! I recently set up an Echo for my aunt, her first Alexa device. I told her she could ask it to play music. I expected her to ask for Andrea Bocelli or something, but she asked for Abba and then the Beegees. I've never heard her listen to disco in all my life, and then she started dancing. So of course I'm not gonna leave her hanging; I got up and boogied down with her.

@wildeaboutoskar@lemmy.world avatar

I would recommend against doing this because you will end up feeling awful. We poo for a reason. Please be careful.

That said, immodium and low strength codeine both bung you up- depending on where you live you may be able to get both from a pharmacy.

MeticulousBastard,

I'm pretty sure sometimes I poop for no reason.

Neptune014, 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 dont have any advice. Just wanted to day I was here before the reason was revealed.

GarbageShootAlt2, in Why is porn not allowed on this site

Go set up your own instance and never raise this subject here again

@Countmacula@lemmy.ml avatar

Not sure why your getting downvoted. That’s the beauty of the fediverse lol

Puls3,
@Puls3@lemmy.ml avatar

I think its the “never raise this subject here again” Comes off as a bit aggressive.

Countmacula,
@Countmacula@lemmy.ml avatar

Absolutely fair, I see that now lol

bigkahuna1986, 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 just want to be a part of this history. Also maybe like protein shakes?

MargotRobbie, in Whaf do you think of hosting an AMA with John Oliver to make Lemmy/kbin officially a viable Reddit replacement?
@MargotRobbie@lemmy.world avatar

Celebrity worship was how we got to modern corporate reddit in the first place. I'd like to keep it away for a while longer.

Go preorder tickets for "Barbie".

OsrsNeedsF2P, in Whaf do you think of hosting an AMA with John Oliver to make Lemmy/kbin officially a viable Reddit replacement?

Why would he give up the free advertising?

VoxAdActa, in What are the best crafts/meida/things to make and sell? as a sort of hobby.
@VoxAdActa@kbin.social avatar

A good friend of mine made good money turning glass bottles of various types into bongs. The best sellers were the marble soda bottles with unlicensed Hello Kitty labels, but Sanrio C&D'd him pretty fucking quick.

Otherwise, I can say for 100% certainty that the answer is absolutely not pretty rocks wrapped up in wire, aka, "jewelry". Every lazy wannabe craft fair monarch is pumping out these low-effort bits of trash to the point that at least a third of the booths at any craft fair I go to is just stuffed to the gills with them.

silent_clash, in What are some good forums that you enjoy?

This isn't niche at all, but gbatemp is fantastic. Lots of emulation, modding, romhacking, general gaming discission, etc.

hakase, in How do I stop seeing post from 2 or 3 days ago?

It’s a Lemmy thing, not just on jerboa. I just sort by “top day” to see the top posts from the past 24 hours. Once I’ve seen most of those, I switch to new all, which keeps a decent amount of new content coming through.

The platform is still young, so it’s a combo of a) not enough content yet and b) early sorting algorithms that paradoxically haven’t caught up with the influx of users yet.

r4tzt4r,

Thanks! Sorting by top day seems the best option for now.

MacroCyclo,

wizjenkins, in How do I stop seeing post from 2 or 3 days ago?

Hot and active are currently broken and will show stale content. It's a Lemmy thing not a Jerboa thing. I'm hoping they fix this in the upcoming version that's in testing right now.

MacroCyclo,

New comments is becoming my go to. Still haven't been able to tolerate any of the other options.
