Midsommar is one of my favorites, or you could try It Follows if you haven't seen either of those. Midsommar is a slow burn intrigue sort of thing, but quite realistic, most of the most horrifying things about it could happen to you for real.
It Follows is a very creative movie, very much about the fear of being chased by an entity that never stops, extremely interesting premise
Same director, probably what you're feeling there is a sum of little touches. I liked the first half of Hereditary quite a bit, didn't really like where it ended up, got too fantastical for my tastes, I like pulp horror too, but I really really like horror that's plausible
I certainly do. Most social media algorithms feed you content that it thinks will generate interactions. Lemmy does not do that which results in whatever you decide to post having more meaning because there’s no stupid and/or manipulative machine deciding wheter your post is or isn’t worth seeing
If you haven’t already, check out the V/H/S/ series if you’re a fan of anthology films and/or found footage. It’s easily my favorite FF series. The newest film, V/H/S/ 1985 came out last week and is awesome, but you can’t go wrong with any of them (except maybe the third one).
I’d personally recommend VHS 1994 to start with because I think it’s the most accessible and least offensive entry in the franchise
There’s a few similar mini series like the ABCs of Death and Holidays. I think both feature a different team for each short which is an interesting premise
On the surface this comes across as SciFi, but it’s a true classic horror with a scifi backdrop. It’s essential watching for any horror genre fan, IMO.
This movie for me cemented Sam Neill’s acting range. From Dr. Grant with the dinosaurs…to this. This is also one of my favorite, if not THE favorite, sci-fi horror films of all time - which is kind of a tough genre to sell.

I feel like you are more encouraged to interact here. Like you’re helping the fediverse grow. The other thing for me is that people seem to be much more civil then in other places. So yeah I feel the same.
Exactly this. I never bothered to do much interacting on Reddit. Either comments were trolled or downvoted “just for shits and giggles” or they were buried in no time under all the snarky oh-so hilarious comments that instantly killed all real discussion.
From what I see, Lemmy is just at the edge of “not enough content”. So many communities have one or two committed posters. So I comment as much as I can and post when I see something interesting.
For me it’s the gonewild subs… Once you start getting regular content there and they expand out to gonewildcurvy or bdsmgw or 30sgonewild etc you’ll really see lemmy take off.
They’ve had some issues with that though. lemmynsfw was heavily defederated from others over concerns about CSAM being federated, and after that lemmynsfw had much more mild porn.
Personally, I think that as long as porn is still freely available via old reddit without logging in, then it won’t take off much. Also, we’re in the post-Only Fans age, so it’s unlikely lemmy will ever get that “pure” gonewild feel that reddit had, as almost every user that posts their own porn is now doing it for money.
That’s the thing I find so surprising. There are so few NSFW posters. Porn pushed a lot of technical and economic innovation online. If Lemmy can’t get traction on adult content, we’re in bad shape.
I cant remember if it’s Facebook messenger or WhatsApp as I don’t use either that often, but one of them has a button on the keyboard to send like animated images or something and it’s so easy to hit that button and then select an image but the problem is that it doesn’t add it to a message which you then have to send, it just sends it straight away. I’ve sent some really inappropriate things to people I hardly know as a result, and I don’t feel like the attempt at an explanation helps.
Same here! It was during the MoviePass heyday, so basically once a week we’d eat dinner near the theater and go see whatever was playing. We were definitely pleasantly surprised.
I always hated his music, the style and those of his listeners…then I heard the dude talk in Bowling for Columbine and he is so eloquent, logical and reasonable and informed on issues where people constantly try to misframe him I immediately gained enormous respect for him (still dislike his music and style) and everything I’ve ever heard him say since has been the same.
If given enough notice to store water and fill 3 good coolers with ice, longer than 2 weeks - we lost power for 2 weeks with a hurricane once and had an electric well pump so no water either. Had set up a system with one cooler allowed to be opened, the others not often. By 2 weeks the water that we’d filled the tub with (for washing not drinking - water with a little bit of bleach) was getting questionable.
Like you, I think the biggest issue would be people.
The world becoming anarchic (=no individual holding power/authority over any other) would be amazing. Electricity turning off might actually help challenge established power structures. I like your thinking !
I also think we tend to underestimate just how good we are, when rid of our oppressions. We’re set against one another, day after day, and we end up thinking it’s our nature. It’s not ! If electricity were to be cut suddenly and everywhere, I’m certain we would help out one another and manage well.
This question reminded me of the Dr Stone anime. The premise is that a wave turns everyone into marble, several thousands years later a young scientist is unfrozen and uses science to restore society to its former state.
Also, I wonder what the effects of long term exposure to EMP would be to life on earth. Since most neurological systems use electromagnetic waves maybe they are impacted?
Another interesting question would be if there would be a way to work around the EMP. For example, would a Faraday cage work to allow electronics to work inside it? Or maybe electronics are improved to work under the effect of EMP? Like how the CPUs have bit correction algorithms because of random bit flips that occur due to solar flares.
Last but not least, in such a situation my plan would be to go as far away as possible, since there will be food shortages, being in an area where you can forage for food or hunt animals would be a priority. Then, I would probably die eating something poisonous. If I survive long enough to set up a farm, I would probably survive the next 10 years or so until I die of old age at 35 the new average life expectancy.
I think the biggest issue would be food. We have loads of farmers in the area and the bike is usable. However, to many people in the area and a lot of specialized crop.
With the canned food, I guess around a month, then it’ll get challeging.
