while it seems everyone else says ‘happy christmas’...

Since a lot of women have started to call their female friends “girlfriends”, I have to wonder how women with actual girlfriends have been dealing with this lol

Recently deleted Instagram, Reddit and disabled YouTube shorts. I now noticed how much I miss doing something — like when sitting in the train or during breaks at work....

I hate that I always compare Lemmy to Reddit, but Reddit used to have (not sure if they still do) guidelines called “Reddiquette” that included guidelines about upvoting and downvoting. I don’t remember the specifics (and sending too much of my browser traffic to Reddit makes me feel dirty) but one of the guidelines was...

Broke my ankle and leg in 3 places and I’m getting surgery tomorrow. Idk how to feel or what to expect.

Not sure if this is 100% scientifically backed but I read a bit by a dental hygienist on a forum that you shouldn’t rinse when brushing with proper toothpaste because it can help remineralize the teeth if when its not rinsed away after...

Pick whatever non-NATO source.

What do you think would finally be their, “Enough, we gotta say something!” situation?...

When I tell people I’ve never seen the Lion King they are really baffled by that.

I’m working on a indie video game that’s set on a large ship and I’m looking to have it be a very hidden and elusive boat. (Speaking vaguely to avoid spoilers)...

I need one for general purposes only, NOT for gaming, so I don’t really care about gaming-related features....

One of mine is when I finish wrapping my hair up tightly in the towel to dry after washing, I whack the towel where it’s tucked in, kind of like encouragement to stay tucked for the duration, kinda like a coach does when sending the kids onto the playing field.

How is your part of the world doing (both current and future prospects) compared to how it was 30/40 years ago? Please say where you are in the world....

imagine a slider on a video game going way in the other direction, that is. this isn’t like one of those philosophy riddle things

I know it’s not even close there yet. It can tell you to kill yourself or to kill a president. But what about when I finish school in like 7 years? Who would pay for a therapist or a psychologist when you can ask for help a floating head on your computer?...

I feel second-hand fear & paranoia on behalf of celebs whose home addresses are public worldwide knowledge....

I got a task to buy a smart phone for my grandparents, they are not techsavy but they know how to use basic functions. Iam looking for an andoid because it has language pack i need. I dont need it to have lots of functions, onley a good camera and a big screen. Bonus points if it can be flashed with some kind of simplefied...
