Wanna guess what my favourite time travel show is?

TheDoctorDonna,

Mac, (edited ) in What is something you watch/do but not for its intended purpose?

I actively take part in automotive events where we manipulate controls and leverage knowledge of vehicle dynamics to deliberately induce and sustain vehicle instability while navigating compact, paved circuits.

Wut? How does this work? I assume that it helps on the corners or something like that

I_Fart_Glitter, (edited ) in What soap opera is most likely what influenced "Sunrise Bay" from Schitt's Creek?

No, those aren’t true “soap operas.” Real soaps were on five days a week and were campy as fuck, people dying and being reincarnated as an orangutan whose brain was surgically placed into their still living twin, only to find they are now pregnant by their ex lover’s mother in law, who happens to be a powerful psychic and knows all the secrets that will turn life upside down for the handsome new guy in town who can’t seem to ever keep a shirt on…

It’s all lit in a really specific way too, like 90’s Glamour Shots from the mall- all blurry and glowy, in a dreamy way.

I’m gonna say Sunrise Bay was most likely referring to Sunset Beach. It ran from 1997- 1999 and had 755 episodes. www.imdb.com/title/tt0118484/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

So where can I watch this?

I_Fart_Glitter,

So, some of the details there are switched around as I only caught an episode here and there as they aired, but Passions. If that interests you, you’ll love Passions. Be warned, sexual assault is a very regular, recurring plot device.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passions

(spoilers)

2001 witnessed the failed double-wedding of popular couples Luis and Sheridan and Ethan and Theresa, and their subsequent journey to Bermuda, where Sheridan apparently perished in a boat explosion and Theresa wound up married to Ethan’s ex-stepfather, Julian Crane. In 2002, Julian and Timmy set out on a journey in the magical land of Oz as Theresa was “executed” for Julian’s “murder”

In 2003, Passions submitted an orangutan named BamBam, who had been portraying the recurring role of Precious, for a Daytime Emmy Award. Precious was the non-speaking live-in nurse and caregiver for elderly Edna Wallace, and held an unrequited love for Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald, which was depicted in elaborate fantasy sequences.

In summer 2005, the prominent character Simone Russell came out as gay; Passions made daytime history by being the first serial to show two women—Simone and love interest Rae Thomas—in bed making love.[14] In 2007, it was revealed that longtime hero Chad Harris-Crane was cheating on his wife with another man. This was also a daytime first, with the men portrayed in bed together, committing—albeit unknowingly—incest.[15] Passions also portrayed Vincent as an intersex person who became pregnant with his own father’s son.[16]

2006 saw the extravagant Passions Vendetta plot,[37] in which Alistair lured 19 people (Whitney, Simone, Paloma, Chad, Ethan, Theresa, Gwen, Lena, Spike, Jessica, Maya, Noah, Esmé, Fancy, Luis, Edna Wallace, Norma Bates, Beth, and Marty) to Rome, where he planned to take over the world with a chalice stolen from the Pope’s private chambers; the plot saw the death of Lena, Maya, Alistair, Beth, and Marty.

cheese_greater,

You wanna check Primewire.id? I’m heading to bed

Graphy,

Unrelated but for some reason the new TVs I bought came with motion smoothing or some setting that made it look like a soap opera.

cheese_greater,

Can you give the settings path usually for this, I wanna see if my tv does it?

Like settings > motion > smoothing or what?

For the longest time I thought this was the way all 4K tvs looked so I avoided getting one. It looks horrible.

I_Fart_Glitter,

I’ve noticed that too! It drives me crazy. I’m always expecting an evil twin to show up.

weariedfae,

Wait, you don’t turn motion smoothing off?

weariedfae,

Yes they’re all like that now. I immediately turn it off and don’t understand people who don’t.

Donebrach, in Would a perfectly flat, tight sail on a boat be more efficient than a sail like we all know?
@Donebrach@lemmy.world avatar

think in the inverse: is a spatula better at serving liquid than a ladle? You’re trying to capture the kinetic energy of a fluid using a sail.

GONADS125, in What is something you watch/do but not for its intended purpose?

I use a wall (sometimes with a pillow) to pop my shoulders, hips, etc. back in place. Do the same with couches/furniture in various ways.

I’ve learned all sorts of specific movements that will pop my joints back in the socket. I’ve had systemic dislocations since childhood due to EDS, especially during flare-ups. I can pop everything from my jaw to my toes.

brygphilomena, in Car Mechanics of Lemmy - Do you have a puncture repair kit that you would recommend?

I’ve got a decent kit from rhino USA. But I don’t think the brand makes a big difference.

NeoNachtwaechter, in You have to spend the rest of your life in a micronation. Which do you choose?

Monaco, no brainer.

Never seen so many bucks per square meter.

Tangent5280,

You’ll starve to death sorrounded by cheap food that cost a thousand euros to look at.

@Dozzi92@lemmy.world avatar

Coherence came out in 2013, and the movie is phenomenal. Such an awesome take on the whole time theory.

+1 was another very good one, and more fun than mine bending, but does a great job tackling it.

I’m currently watching Dark, but enjoying it for sure.
