Harmonica. You can carry it anywhere and bust a jam anywhere.

If you’re joining an instance based solely on the communities it has created, you’re not doing this correctly.

I’m dying laughing at the image in my head about your scenario.

Gay Waiter: And what do you want?

You: I want some pasta fag.

I’m getting 2nd hand cringe from imagining this

iamtrashman1312,

Reminds me of that “can you make it virgin” “I know how to make it” gag

PetDinosaurs, in What was the cringiest moment of your life?

If the cringiest moment of your life is pronouncing it fag-e-oli, you have had very little cringe in your life.

Yeah come back to me when you shit your pants at your friends house at the age of 8, and then “help” him and his mom try to find where the smell is coming from

PetDinosaurs,

So, in retrospect, did you get away with it? Or was the mom humoring you? Presumably, there would be signs.

Yeah I eventually snuck back to the bathroom and cleaned up and put my shitty tighty whiteys in the bathroom trash. I assume his mom knew. Maybe she couldn’t figure out how to address it gently, maybe she just wanted to fuck with me lol

cashews_best_nut,

Don’t feel too bad. My mum discovered my cousin was shitting himself regularly when he visted our home. I never noticed but my mum told my auntie “Your son is shitting himself every time he comes round. Sort it out”.

Cue a few days later his mum comes round midday when we’re gaming and takes him into the bathroom before bursting out and shouting - “BRING CARRIER BAGS AND A TOWEL!”

I never did find out why he was shitting himself.

dingus,

I shit my pants in school at a similar age and left it in my pants the rest of the day. Good lord that was major cringe. Ruined my favorite pants too. I almost forgot about that until your comment.

Did you get caught, or did you successfully pull one over on them? Because if it’s the latter, that is very impressive.

I had a really similar thing to to me when I was 8, I remember rushing to the toilet to poop and as soon as the door closed i filled my pants. I tried cleaning it up then went back to play with my friend and his little brother. His grandma then came into the room and was like “Did little brothers name poop his pants?” Then checked, I’m pretty sure she just left after that too lol.

PetDinosaurs, in What was the cringiest moment of your life?

I’m refusing to recall my own cringe, but I empathize with this guy.

PetDinosaurs,

What on earth is wrong with this guy?

cashews_best_nut,

He’s Norwegian.

PetDinosaurs,

I figured it was because he was dressed like a cat.

Max_P, in Why create an instance if you are not ready to post in it?
@Max_P@lemmy.max-p.me avatar

My instance exists for me and my friends to use. It’s not meant to attract anybody, it’s meant to serve me.

It costs me nothing and I’m permanently in control of my data, and it’ll live however long I want it to live, it updates when I decide I want to update it, if I want features I can just patch them in. When I make a PR, it goes on my instance first to try it out properly. I can post 10GB files from my instance if I want to, I’m the one that will pay for the bandwidth in the end.

I bet if you look at the profile of the admin of those “abandoned” instances, you’ll find they’re active on Lemmy. They just have their own private instance just for themselves.

Doesn’t matter if lemmy.world or lemmy.ml or beehaw.org goes down: I still got all the content and they’ll eventually federate out when they come back up.

JetpackJackson,

How does it not cost anything if it’s being self-hosted? Doesn’t that cost money?

Max_P,
@Max_P@lemmy.max-p.me avatar

Guess I should have said it cost me nothing extra because I already own the server.

Although Oracle’s free tier exists.

JetpackJackson,

Ah ok I’ll look into that, I keep meaning to learn how to self host, thanks

danileonis,
@danileonis@lemmy.ml avatar

I’m also interested to learn self-hosting, it’s the future of internet imho.

JetpackJackson,

Yeah it’s the only alternative I can think of to things like Google drive honestly

danileonis,
@danileonis@lemmy.ml avatar

If it’s only for your files you can already do that without hosts, using Syncthing!

JetpackJackson,

I’m using that to sync my Zettelkasten and school notes between my laptops and phone, it’s pretty nifty.

ettyblatant, in What are some modern bullshit jobs?
@ettyblatant@lemmy.world avatar

Anyone who earns any portion of income by hanging shit on my doorknob.

Tropper, in What is an musical instrument would you like to know how to play?

There are two instruments that I would like to learn.

  1. Drums: so I can take out some of the anger and frustration and make it into a melody.
  2. Bass guitar: I have always liked how they sound and when I played any Guitar Hero or similar games, I always played the bass. I could imagine laying in bed and playing a melancholic tune until the sadness goes away. Or just play whatever fits my mood at the moment.

I have also thought that violins look and sound interesting, but they seem pretty complicated to play.

whaleross,
@whaleross@lemmy.world avatar

I picked up a cheap acoustic u-bass during the Covid years just to be able to play along with old songs and some soothing melodic solo bass laying on my couch. They are pretty quiet, enough for solo playing without disturbing the neighbors, but the vibrations from the instrument body travel really nice on top the belly. Also it sounds nice and boingy like an upright bass. Perfect for faux jazz and blues.

Google Image search: Can I interest you in some results from Pinterest? No? How about all of the results from Pinterest?

Edit: actually helpful comment: I usually use tin eye, it does a pretty good job of digging up original sources for images. Apparently Bing image search is really good for porn, so I’m told anyway.

Don’t forget any of their thousand other top-level domains while you’re at it, they blast Google with every single one.

IReallyLikeSkittles, in What is an musical instrument would you like to know how to play?

Piano! I like the way they sound. Other instruments, up close kind of irritate me. I don’t really enjoy listening to someone play the guitar or the violin. Fuck the violin.

morphballganon, in Why create an instance if you are not ready to post in it?

You’ve never tried getting into something, and then put it on the back burner when life got in the way?

I honestly don’t need to RIS much but I’ve anecdotally heard good things about Yandex Image Search. Specifically for… ahem sensitive searches

hactar42, in What is an musical instrument would you like to know how to play?

Anything. I absolutely love music and the thought of being able to make it myself has always been a dream of mine. However, I can’t hold a beat to save my life. I’ve tried playing the piano, guitar, trumpet, and baritone at stages of my life, never with any success. I can’t even play Guitar Hero past medium difficulty.

Joker, in What are some modern bullshit jobs?

Anything in the online sports betting space. Addicts, scumbags, degenerates, and the people who make money off them.
