theplanlessman, in What are the shortest karaoke songs?

The shortest song I ever found at a karaoke place was You Suffer by Napalm Death. It’s 1.3 seconds long.

DarkenLM,

I remember seeing this song for the first time on a reddit thread like "You have to sing a complete song from memory, which song would you pick?". That guy pulled a galaxy brain move.

Either a chill bird or whale that migrates across the world

What are your favorite places?

What do you like about them?

What are your favorite animals?

WmDo you have any interesting experiences to share?

What’s something you would like to share that I wouldn’t prompt because my limited migratory habits don’t provide the experience necessary to know to prompt it?

jBlight, in Is it actually possible to change your personality

Anyone can change, but the first and hardest step is believing you can change.

shinigamiookamiryuu, in Is it actually possible to change your personality

I think you mean 180. 360 would be a full rotation, you’d be going from the dark side to the light side back to the dark side. But yes, it’s possible to change someone by overshadowing their bad influences. Good influences, by definition, have more influential potential.

the_q, in What can we do, as lemmy users, to fight fake news being pushed in the platform?

Honestly? Don’t participate. Don’t use the platform and just quit with all social media because it cannot be stopped at this point. It takes far too much effort and time to battle all this crap.

j_roby, in What cheap tool/gadget do you use that greatly improves your daily life?

A decent headlamp. Flashlights are well and good, and sometimes necessary too. But if you’ve ever had to do something intricate with both hands in the complete dark, a good headlamp can be so much better in those situations

momentary,

And you can get such small ones now! My spouse has one she keeps in her purse where the strap is just a thin wire that retracts into the unit. It’s not even uncomfortable! Needless to say I’m jealous!

constantokra,

Is it the petzl zipka? Because if it isn’t I’d love to know what it is. I have one, but they’ve apparently stopped making them, and it’s so much better not having an elastic strap.

Death_Equity,

I got a Lightbar brand “lightbar pro”, so good. The only downside to it is that there is a design flaw where there is no strain relief on the main power cable so twisting it will lead to failure. I don’t know if they fixed it since I bought mine, but some glue on the power wire should sort it out.

You get a nice wide diffuse light so you can see all around you and what you are working on. It isn’t the best for distance, but most of the time I am working I need to see my surroundings and what I am working on.

Nemo,

Was just using mine earlier!

Great for walking the dog at night, in suburban or rural settings. A phone flashlight is annoying to juggle while also controlling a leash and impossible when I need to scoop poop.

lietuva,

100%. I found one with grooves, so you can tilt and lock on whatever angle you like. Going to use as secondary light soirce on my bike rides and camping trips

assembly,

Completely agree on this. For some reason I’ve gone through like four at this point. They seem to break for some reason. Even tried the REI route with the black diamond brand and they don’t seem to last. I need to find a better brand.

Tinfoiledhat,

Petzl. Had mine for 14 years

What are you doing in the dark that’s so intricate? Genuine question.

space,

In most places, lights are placed on the ceiling. This is fine for generally lighting a room, but if you need to do something intricate that’s not directly under the ceiling lamp it can be hard to see. Even simple things like plugging in some cables under the desk.

radix,
@radix@lemm.ee avatar

I guess I don’t do anything away from desk lamps. Thanks for the explanation.

LMNjuice,

I’ve done fibre optic splicing entirely under the light of a headtorch. I don’t think you could get much more intricate than that.

DeadpanSlim,

I worked with a guy who wore a headlamp nearly all the time. When people would ask about it he would always tell them “There are only two reasons NOT to wear a headlamp. Either you don’t have a head, or you don’t have a headlamp.”

I will never forget this.

Buddahriffic,

Oh phew, one of those reasons applies to me. Guess I don’t need one.

Socsa, in What can we do, as lemmy users, to fight fake news being pushed in the platform?

Defederate from the tankie instances (including .ml). This Israel thing has really show not only how willing these places are to do straight up information warfare, but also how they’ve amplified an extremely chilling and alarmingly violent minority.

BilboBargains, in Do you know of any obscure useful websites?

    If you don’t want to be allowed on the stage again: “The pope song” from Tim Minchin is a bit over 2 minutes and has an over 30 fucks/minute score. And it only has a 2 second instrumental break.

    SheDiceToday,

    I fucking love it.

    Deconceptualist,

    Considering how many karaoke DJs still carry around a binder full of CDs, I doubt this one is readily available.

    TheDoozer, in What are the shortest karaoke songs?

    Fell in love with a girl - The White Stripes

    Not the easiest song to sing, but it’s very short and no instrumental break, unless you count the “NAAH nah-nah-nah naaa NAAAH. NAAH nah-nah-nah NAAH naaah…” part.

    Spzi, in What can we do, as lemmy users, to fight fake news being pushed in the platform?

    Make a comment with your conclusion and how you arrived at it.

    If applicable, report the post.

    DragonTypeWyvern,

    Yep, and you might get clowned on in the comments, fairly or unfairly, but all you can do in any media aggregate forum is fact check and try to debunk.
