How am I supposed to form an angry mob if nobody else is angry?

_number8_, in People who post content because it makes you angry : why do you help it spread?

so people can tee off it, because shitty bad viewpoints are easy to argue against, and the more people that see the rebuttals, the better

calypsopub, in People who post content because it makes you angry : why do you help it spread?

People love outrage.

Thcdenton, in What companies have made your blacklist?

Sony, Apple, Microsoft, Google, Blizzard/Activision, EA, Every car company (I only buy pre 2010 cars). I could go on but you get the idea. Modern megacorps are fuckin gross.

I was thinking of making one about pictures of anime looking like prostitutes or maybe for fans of don ho. or for anime moving slowly.

BP. Obvious reasoning.

qooqie, (edited ) in What is good to eat when you have no appetite?

In my area most people suggest Gatorade or pedialyte (my go to). Going without a meal or a few is okay, but make sure to drink, get electrolytes, and make sure it has sugar in it.

itsgroundhogdayagain, in What is a moe??????

I refer to those as “Block Community”.

Candelestine, in Is it ok to use acronyms similar to those on an equally or more popular discussion forum?

The term AMA is technically copyrighted. Nobody here really cares much though, except maybe the admins that have their hardware in countries where they’re vulnerable to being sued for hosting copyright infringing stuff.

They get to care for us.

So can we safely do it or put CMV: For ChangeMyView entries?

Candelestine,

Yep. No problems as of yet.

shinigamiookamiryuu, (edited )

You technically could, though there are burrows (the Lemmy term for communities) that are better for it, since this one is more for questions.

Remember that if a burrow doesn’t exist that’s to your liking, you could always make one (and I might join).

Ive been on Lemmy for awhile and you are the first person I’ve seen refer to a Lemmy community as a burrow - where did you get the term from?

I tried to search engine it but they still don’t seem to like indexing lemmy.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

People on Lemmy are referred to as Lemmings, named after the animal, which makes its homes in burrows. One day someone asked what the equivalent here for “subreddit” was and burrows were mentioned and everyone was like “yeah let’s do that”… I still have the reply chain link that shows all that, though the post itself is removed, so on my end that exchange doesn’t show up anymore.

cheese_greater, (edited )

c/changemyview IS the Lemmy burrow

Edit:

burrows ≈ communities?

Edit: u can join me in my private burrow anytime ;)

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Oh… misinterpreted that as just a part of the example, my bad.

cheese_greater,

Feel free to join me in my private burrow anytime ;)

shinigamiookamiryuu,

I’d love to. Which one is it?

cheese_greater, (edited )

I was being saucy, I don’t run any private instances aha. Feel free to bookmark me however you like or DMs tho ;)

Edit: what does your username mean?

shinigamiookamiryuu,

It’s a convoluted anime reference. Shinigami are the Japanese equivalent to reapers and commonly feature in Shintoism which finds its way into anime. “Ookami” and “Ryuu” are anime characters associated with shinigami. I forgot the whole story of my username, but I know I was attempting to copy over from DeviantArt which is a site I use too.

cheese_greater,

Ah k, thanks for that. I dont know anything about anime unfortunately, was more into adult swim ;)

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

“Ask me anything” as a specific logo typeface is trademarked; but the term is too generic to be copyrighted.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

What, really? I actually didn’t know this. By who though?

Follow up question: What if my initials are AMA?

cheese_greater, (edited )

By Redit…?

shinigamiookamiryuu,

I mean I know it’s associated with Reddit, but I didn’t know it was trademarked by them.

cheese_greater,

Who else could that be relevant for, thats where it was implemented first, isn’t it?

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Yes, but what I mean is I didn’t expect Reddit to go full Hollywood on the term. It would be like Lemmy gatekeeping the term Lemming. So I then wondered if maybe someone else seized that opportunity.

cheese_greater, (edited )

Do we have everything like reserved or copyrighted in a way that some asshole can’t take it away forever?

Edit: you’re giving Redit way too much cRedit if you don’t think they wouldn’t swoop in 5sec after reading this post

shinigamiookamiryuu,

If nobody has swooped in yet, they probably won’t. At the moment, “AMA” seems like it has kleenex status.

cheese_greater,

Thats not the point, I want to make aure I don’t spend time on something Redit can use against us or influence. I don’t like when things CAN be taken away from me. Thats why everybody relies on contracts to maximize certainty in the future

shinigamiookamiryuu,

I cannot speak for anyone aside from myself, but I would be confident betting on the fact Reddit won’t weaponize if we do as you were asking. I myself enjoy these liberties frequently. I am the world record holder for the most sites having been signed up for (a strange world record some might say, but hey, a landmark is a landmark) and I’ve never come across a place where people complained about acronyms.

cheese_greater,

I don’t like others having the power to put a pin it it for me. Its more important to me that someone can’t influence my choices than whether they would, does that make sense? Buy the land before you build the cottage, don’t be improvisitory on this thing

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Yes, that makes sense. And relatable in a way.

cheese_greater,

That was adorable when you described yourself :) made my day

cheese_greater,

I feel like we’ll be just fine, have a good night

cheese_greater,

Thats neat, Im a bit tired but I’ll read thru it when I’m feeling a bit better :)

cheese_greater,

Thats an interesting twist 😹

cheese_greater,

Can someone page a Lemmy.world admin to clarify?

Dieterlan, in What is a moe??????

Moe is hard to define (I can’t do it), but if you just switch it for “cute” no one will probably know the difference. So: Fit-cute, kimono-cute, smol-cute, etc. Also, it’s used as an adjective, so some is more, not is a moe.

Ten_Pound_Dump, in What is good to eat when you have no appetite?

Hot buttered toast!

DeadlineX,

To add to this: cinnamon toast. Butter some bread, smear cinnamon sugar on it and microwave for thirty seconds. With bread goes down easy, and cinnamon toast is definitely the best way I came up with to get some carbs.

Coreidan,

Microwave?!

Bruh get a toaster lol

DeadlineX, (edited )

My issue was with my swallowing. So actual toast was too crunchy to reliably get down. When the butter melted in the microwave, it sort of “set” into the bread. So it was super soggy and easily “dissolved” in my throat. So I personally couldn’t really eat “solid” foods. Microwaved cinnamon toast was the best way I found to get carbs.

Edit: could to couldnt

schmidtster, (edited )

Just toast it less? Even a minute will ehat it enough to melt butter but not very crisp.

DeadlineX,

Yeah, I tried it toasted. I dealt with this for over two months. I tried just about everything. I know everyone is coming from a good place with these suggestions. I’m trying not to come across unpleasant, but it feels like it has the same energy as asking a depressed person if they’d tried being happy before.

I promise, I tried it. I put effort into putting food into my body that wouldn’t get caught in my throat and make me feel like I was going to choke and die. At one point I had 7 appointments with 6 different doctors in a two and a half week span. I really genuinely put effort into finding something I could eat. Soylent and mashed potatoes and soggy bread got me through it. I got sick of people telling me how much weight I’d lost like I didn’t own a mirror. I got sick of people telling me I’m just not cooking things right.

I went through something I think is similar to op, and I offered my suggestions. I’m not saying this is what op or anyone needs to do.

I’m just saying this is what helped me when I couldn’t eat, give it a shot if you want.

schmidtster, (edited )

If it’s crispy you’re just toasting it too much, sorry. It’s not toasted, it’s warmed by a toaster,

    I am trying to understand, why are they saying toast when it’s not toasted? If it’s crispy enough to be called toast, turn it down some more.

    I’ve never had a toaster that couldn’t put out warm not crispy bread. So yeah it’s confusing that someone would need to use a microwave for what a toaster is designed for.

    assplode,

    One of my favorites when I'm sick!

    Also great to spread some jam on there too

    angstylittlecatboy, (edited ) in What companies have made your blacklist?

    Facebook and Elon Musk’s companies (both’s effects on global society are way more egregious than other tech companies,) pretty much any company that wears faith on their sleeve

    pirrrrrrrr, in What companies have made your blacklist?

    Sony, Apple.

    Mouselemming, in Short(er) people of Lemmy--what are some lifehacks you figured out that've helped you out?

    I have a nice aluminum stepladder. I discovered the handiest place to store it is behind the living room curtain. Much easier than in a closet. And much safer than climbing on chairs!

    FReddit, (edited ) in What is good to eat when you have no appetite?

    Ive had diabetic ketoacidosis a few times. Once it starts coming on you can’t eat Anything. For a couple days or more.

    Then the treatment is ice chips and IV insulin for a few days.

    Coming out of it, your stomach is the size of a walnut and the thought of eating makes you want to make you puke.

    My roads back to eating:

    Broth from ramen cups. Liquid meal replacements. If you have a soy allergy, take a close look at the ingredients. Miso broth.

    Drinkable yogurt.

    Bland pasta with just olive oil.

    Granola bars.

    My experience is that I eventually get hungry again.

    Best of luck dealing with your situation.

    Edit: per others, chicken soup (I can get the broth down) and Pedialyte or Gatorlyte. Getting dehydrated does not help.
