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

The room is filled with a deadly gas. Either it is built so that it vents into the room naturally from deep under ground, or a diffuser is periodically refilled by whoever controls access to the room.

The McGuffin is the antidote to the gas, which you must obtain and administer before entering.

perviouslyiner,

One way of getting a very localised danger like this would be to put it near radioactive ore deposits? You can only go in with a lead shield, and have to angle it correctly

Where is the room exactly? In a house? Palace? What now?

Hiding in plain sight is usually the best way to go about hiding (ime).

But plenty of people know about it...hmm

The room could just be closed off and unaccesible and unnoticeable at the same time..like a hobbit hole with no doors etc.

I'd love more context tbh....and do you write books often?

The ability to talk to animals

1st,

You can talk to animals, but it includes insects and birds... and you can't shut their conversion out for some peace and quiet

lazylion_ca,

You can talk to animals now. I think what you mean is you want them to be able to talk too.

Johandea,

Your already can talk to animals. We all understand you.

RexKev,

Everytime you talk to an animal, every moving living being around you looks like the animal you talked to for the next 2 hours.

skillissuer,

you can talk to animals, but they don't want to (they are very prejudiced)

chunky, 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?

Keep that sphincter clenched tight! You got this.

rm_dash_r_star, in Why do bots try to join instances?
@rm_dash_r_star@lemm.ee avatar

I wonder that too since according to present statistics (the-federation.info/platform/73) there's over 1.2M Lemmy accounts. The 6mo active users count is a little over 40k. Now I know many of those may be lurkers or people like me who have logins on other instances, but a good number of those would have to be bot accounts. So what are they laying in wait for? Could be shameless promotion and upvoting, but I'm not seeing any of that yet. Hope we're not in for a shitstorm.

snek_boi, in What are your favorite (Youtube) video's/documentaries of all time that you can watch again and again?

Anything by Richard Feldman. I’m binging all of the talks he has given for a third time now

Koyanisquatsi. No commentary, just ambience.

BastingChemina, in What do you feel like life will be like on earth in 100 years?

A full SolarPunk utopia ! The climate change is there by we are adapting to it. People are now living in community that still have a relatively advanced level of technology but they are focused on being substainable. However for most of the daily life the technology used is mostly low tech.

The concept of nature died with the ancient world. Because now everything is nature, the conceptual separation between nature and civilisation collapsed. Now cities, communities and fields or forest are interlaced, rather than exploiting their environnement societies are nurturing it. The food is local, there is a few electric trucks transportation is mostly done by bike and cargo bike. Everything is repairable, most of the energy is produced locally with renewables energy.

Overall we might have lost some material comfort but gained on the quality of life.

I know it’s an utopia, I can’t be sure that it’s gonna happen but the one thing I can be sure it’s that if we don’t try it’s never gonna happen. I believe that or current thermo-industrial civilization started to collapse but I believe that we can still have some very happy lives after that.

nevernevermore, in What is your favorite way to spend money?

I bought a house 6 months ago and now I'm spending my money on little QoL changes to make it feel like its mine.

KeavesSharpi, 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 love that this is the flagship viral post for the new popular Lemmy. At this point, OP’s reason for not pooping is tertiary to the entertainment! Also, I’m pretty sure it’s just social anxiety.

snek_boi, 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?

lol this is hilarious, and I also hope you’re okay, OP!

Now, some say this is the first Lemmy meme. I’m not sure that’s the case, for what it’s worth. However, it does feel exciting to see a meta moment like this! So absurd! 😂

solrize, in How has ur lemmy experience been so far?

People and posts here are better. Tech experience is worse. The web interface is worse (too much broken JS and websocket crap), I can't login from a mobile browser, the federation scheme is confusing, the Android app story is not there yet, Jerboa doesn't support older phones that still work perfectly well with RedReader, yada yada. I have somewhat more retro tastes than probably most of the younguns here, so my thoughts are heading towards writing my own desktop front end. But I don't feel like I want to attempt mobile development.

Anything from Oversimplified channel. History made funny and fun. I never learnt about the Aussie vs emu war growing up here. https://youtu.be/BXpu6tbFCsI

hoodlem, in Is Lemmy your first time on the Fediverse?

Yes it is the first time. I’m liking it. I’ve never tried Mastodon as I was never into Twitter and the two seemed similar.

rm_dash_r_star, in How do I reach the right people here on Lemmy?
@rm_dash_r_star@lemm.ee avatar

I go to lemmyverse.net to explore communities if that's any help. I've never promoted any so I don't have any advice to offer there.

hoodlem, in What are some of the "small things" you appreciate about Lemmy over Reddit?

More engagement. I think the vast majority of Reddit was lurkers. This feels more like a community.
