Why is there so much hentai on Lemmy?
Seriously though.
The worst part about Lemmy is having to scroll past the same article dozens of times when browsing All.
How do I prevent this? Whenever an article gets popular it gets posted to the news community of every single instance so you have to scroll by it several times a day for a week. Is there a “prevent duplicates” option in any of the clients? I’m pretty close to abandoning lemmy honestly. There’s very little content that...

does anyone else find street performers particularly annoying?
Not musicians, the worse the better for me, Iove a panpipe or a one man band. Just anyone juggling or creating slip hazards with litres of fucking bubble mixture. Mimes can fuck right off as well, as can cocks on unicycles. Fire eaters are boring, fire juggling is boring and annoying
How do you make peace with a mistake you made?
We all make mistakes knowingly or unknowingly. But a few mistakes that I made in the past still haunt me. How do I overcome those?
Do you think we will ever have affordable housing again in our lifetime?
Considering how crazy expensive accommodations have become the last couple of years, concentrated in the hands of greedy corporations, landlords and how little politicians seem to care about this problem, do you think we will ever experience a real estate market crash that would bring those exorbitant prices back to Earth?

What's the best petty revenge for a neighbour that constantly plays loud music but doesn't answer the door when you try asking them to turn it down?
We’ve tried the usual of calling police (three times), inviting them over to hear how loud it is (they agreed that it was very loud), asking to at least reduce the bass, blasting our own music (not sustainable) and so on. Sometimes it works for a day but inevitably it’s back to the usual....
What was the best donation you have ever received?
Some days ago, a neighbor invited me over because she was donating books that belonged to her husband, who died from covid during the pandemic. There were a lot of books, and even by choosing only the ones which caught my attention, I was able to get over 100 different books....
Do airplanes consume more fuel on liftoff when it is raining?
I think that the additional weight on the water on the surface of the outer airplane body increases friction with the air, and also weight of the aircraft. But does the fuel consumption increase? And by how much?

What songs from foreign languages are most successful among English speakers?
I thought of a few examples, but want some more. Don’t count songs with nonsense lyrics or instrumentals without lyrics. Don’t count bilingual songs (unless neither of them is English, or if the English portions are commonly omitted). Don’t count songs primarily popular among immigrant populations or others fluent in that...
What is a good way for a new Lemmy user to browse and join communities?
There are directories like lemmyverse.net/communities but it’s not straightforward for new users to simply click on a community to join Are there any clients that have this onboarding workflow implemented well?
Did the "American dream" change over time, or was it just my interpretation of it?
So growing up, I had this idea that the American dream was about that if you put in an honest amount of work, you would be rewarded with a good life. This would mean you would be able to take care of yourself and your family, afford a car and a house. In my view, working one job would probably be enough....

How do sewers work near sea level
I’m spending a week in La Jolla, CA, USA, about 15ft above sea level and I’m wondering where the sewage goes? There’s no room between here and the sea for a treatment plant. There’s pretty big apartment complexes and hotels that would need enormous septic tanks. How does it work?
