otter, in Why is this sub so against jokes and more lighthearted posts?

Was there a particular post you wanted to see answered? I see a decent variety usually

puppy, in Why is this sub so against jokes and more lighthearted posts?

I just double checked top 20 posts sorted by “hot”. Only 2 has any relation to Software. Zero posts relating to Linux. Is there a particular post you have in mind?

cheese_greater, (edited ) in Why is this sub so against jokes and more lighthearted posts?

Ya, like my chestnuts being lazy thread got ripped a new one :( Many humorous posts go the way of the Dodo bird, its pretty ridiculous

Maybe if there’s a better place, I’'d just do that but it still seems excessive. And we have our share of schizos obsessed with pounding their big red downvote button—no diet coke necessary

theKalash,

This is still a community for questions. Random references or jokes simply don’t belong here.

cheese_greater,

Where then?

theKalash,

!jokes, !jokes or maybe !humor to name a few

cheese_greater, (edited )

Maybe humor, thanks

Edit: lets see how it goes 🤣

ExtraMedicated,

There’s also !shittyasklemmy but it doesn’t seem very active.

cheese_greater,

Thanks for all these, you won’thave any issues with me going forward no that I know how it works 👍

cheese_greater,

Lets be the change

intensely_human,

Ugh. Nothing is more tone deaf to human culture than telling a person there’s a room down the hall dedicated to telling jokes.

theKalash, (edited )

How so? I think it perfectly encapsulates human culture.

People literally gather in rooms to listen jokes (comedy clubs, stand up performances etc). And others gather in different rooms to listen to music, for example. But if you show up in the music room and start performing stand-up, people will tell you, you’re in the wrong place.

cheese_greater,

I’m glad he did. It isnt a problem at all, I was excited to learn about new on-topic communities to join and add to my feed ;)

shinigamiookamiryuu, in Why is this sub so against jokes and more lighthearted posts?

I don’t know. I’m certainly not downvoting them. I recently posted such a post and it seems to be doing good. I even do art like so.

Here comes the sun

cheese_greater,

Nice 😎

Simulation6, in What is your unpopular flim opinion

Only trash movies have fast, noisy action scenes that last more then a few seconds.

HollandJim,

Not counting the Max Max films, of course…

ElPussyKangaroo,

I’d say well choreographed and well executed action set pieces that deliver on the promised serotonin and adrenaline release are few.

Sub? Where’s the sub? Battle stations!!! Arm the torpedoes and depth charges!!! :D

We haver loads of communities for messing about, memes and just general banter. I think this community as well as !nostupidquestions and loads of others are for more serious questions.

Sub as in sublemmy… That’s what I call communities here lmao

foggy, (edited ) in Why is there no community devoted to vinly preservation?

Because vinyl sucks!!

On a more on topic note: Lemmy is small. We dont have the population to warrant that specific of a community, yet. I’d recommend starting by joining a community about vinyl, making posts about vinyl care, and seeing how they do. When you’re taking up a significant percentage of a larger parent topics feed, I’d say it’s time to splinter off

I’d just add that we run the risk of being extremely unappealing if we have too many communities with near 0 activity. We’re better served at the beginning having fewer, more general communities, to attract critical masses

TheBlackLounge,

It’s also a problem with algorithms. Big communities drown out smaller ones because the sorting only looks at absolute numbers. Change is underway though.

All very valid points, I still just think they’re neat and I’m gonna buy more 👍

foggy,

Haha, I think Benn Jordan even says somewhere in the video that this is the only valid stance on buying vinyl. 😁

I am gonna be a lil wary about breathing while very close to my records now, I should’ve guessed there was something terrible about the big fun plastic music discs 😭 thank you for sharing the video!

This post isn’t about Linux.

F you OP

MindSkipperBro12,

He mentioned Linux, so this post IS about Linux.

F you

pastermil,

No, F you! In fact, F all of you!

PeterPoopshit,

I use Arch btw

We tschermans have very good humor, ja?A few days ago, I asked a philosopher to think for me, ja? He said he Kant. Isn't that funny?! KANT!

Pee Wee’s Big Adventure is the quintessential road movie and it’s rarely been done better.

GentlemanLoser,

Au revoir, Simone!

HollandJim,

Merci boucoup, Pee Wee!

scratchresistor,

This isn’t controversial, in a really good way :)

HollandJim, (edited )

I wish it weren’t… But there are a lot of people out there who’d rather just cancel him. He was a really creative, decent fellow

Tim Burton’s directorial debut btw

Kalladblog, in What is your unpopular flim opinion
@Kalladblog@lemmy.world avatar

The Irishman - It was so highly recommended by many but I could only go through half the movie (which is 3h long) and despite having watched 90 mins I couldn’t bring myself to watch the second half or recap what happened in the first. Maybe too much flew over my head but it bored me too much and I couldn’t see the appeal at all.

Welt,

Scorsese does that, and he’s done it again. He needs a better editor who could shorten the runtime without losing the flow. Irishman was no Goodfellas but it was a decent story. Agree it wasn’t worth the slow pace though. I think attention spans are typically shorter these days and people expect a bigger payoff than they tend to get, outside of Marvel and porn.

Kalladblog,
@Kalladblog@lemmy.world avatar

Oh, I didn’t mind the slow pace that much but I couldn’t see what the movie was getting at as it seemed like a diary entry of a mafioso. The overarching elements throughout the first half somehow didn’t appeal to me. Marvel has been going downhill for quite a while but that’s a different topic

Welt,

Indeed. That’s what editing does to a film - it helps the story make sense. It’s the only thing that makes film an art form different from any other imo. Acting is art, cinematography is art, music/scoring is art. Directing is only art if it adds some new interpretation.

My joke about Marvel and porn is that their payoff is in some form of orgasm - special effects that wow audiences or literally make them ejaculate.

Nacktmull, in What could my upstairs neighbor possibly be doing to make this much noise?
@Nacktmull@lemmy.world avatar

Sounds like there are actually people living there. Naturally people don’t just sit all day, they also move around their flat. People in the flat below yours hear you too when you walk. Better get used to it …

NightAuthor,

I’ve lived in 3 other apartments without this particular issue, noise yes, but not like this. Also, it’s not just walking… they literally don’t stop moving for hours straight. It kinda sounds like they are walking laps around the entire perimeter of the apartment, we have the same floorplan and I can clearly hear them moving from room to room to room. I’m honestly curious what they could be doing.

dan1101,

Maybe they are exercising indoors? Or just have some sort of manic energy they are trying to dissipate.

intensely_human,

I guess OP will never know. There’s no possible way to know what his neighbors are up to. Too bad it’s hidden knowledge that will never be revealed.

@khannie@lemmy.world avatar

Treadmill?

NightAuthor,

Only if treadmills move around the apartment, though I’ve never seen that before

Tho it’s a show and watched only the first season, but Star Trek: Lower Decks is kinda ruining the whole Star Trek world to me.

It’s an OK cartoon, not bad at all. but so not Star Trek to me, at least the first season wasn’t. I get it, it’s the “Go” of the series, the cool and hip genz implementation, you either like it or not, and honestly, I kinda like it, but not as Star Trek.

Olhonestjim,

The writing and direction (the actors were fine!) Of the Kelvin trilogy kinda ruined Trek for me. I refused to give any of the new series a chance. But Lower Decks is reviving my interest. Think I might give Strange New World’s a look soon.

I know what you mean though. It’s been so long since we had a good series.

echodot, (edited )

I like Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks but frankly Discovery can get lost. Oh it’s dark and gritty and special magic flying mushroom aliens that kind of break the setting because they can basically teleport you anywhere, they just ruined the canon. Also it’s set in the past why is it set in the past? The show doesn’t need to be in that time. So they could have set it in the future and actually done something interesting with the franchise.

To me it is clear they didn’t want to make a Star Trek show, so why did they slap the franchise name on it? It would have been fine if they just made an original show.

But that’s what they did with season 3 and later?

marx2k, in What could my upstairs neighbor possibly be doing to make this much noise?

Does it sound like a giant toddler walking on their heels?

I remember my last apartment. These were my neighbors: i.makeagif.com/media/7-02-2015/yTS99e.gif

NightAuthor,

I thought maybe for a second, but then I remembered the incredible consistency of their gait, their footfalls sound like a very angry metronome when they’re going, though with frequent seconds-long pauses.

marx2k,

Maybe they’re banging

KyuubiNoKitsune, in Out of all the cars you've owned, which one holds a special place in your heart as the absolute favourite.

206 GTi180, 2006 model

It was red, had performance cams, free flow exhaust and awesome vinyls that I ripped from Need For Speed Underground. I loved that car so much.
