Geek_King, in You have a magic pill, which de-ages you by 20 years. You can take it once in your life only, so long as you are at least 20. What age — past, current or future — do you reckon is best to take it?

I’m 42, I was fat in my 20s and didn’t lose 100 pounds and get in shape until 31. I’d gladly take that pill right this instant, make a lot of different choices, lose my weight and get in shape at a younger age too. I would have a very different life I bet.

But alas, your theoretical pill just taunts “Now Me”!

I’ll take it but only if the manufacturer brands it NuGame+

50s. Getting back to one’s 30s you’re still old enough for people to take you seriously, but the creaking bones and exhaustion hasn’t really started creeping in yet.

Uhhh about that

Savaran,

Well, just saying, what creaking bones I had in my 30s don’t even rate in comparison now

Wife and i were talking about that yesterday. I turned 50 last year and its like my body just decided that everything should brake down all at once.

AZERTY, (edited )

I said the same thing once I hit 30… I threw my back out once when I sneezed and was like whelp I’m basically almost dead now

SteefLem,
@SteefLem@lemmy.world avatar

Ha yeah had that not with a sneeze but i made a mistake by taking a drink from the fridge, and there it went. Dumb thing is i can carry “heavy” stuff and be fine but i look at a sock wrong and my backs out and walk like a duck for a week.

Start doing morning stretches, drink more water, and avoid caffeine after 5pm

Ugh I turn 30 today, I’ve had a bum knee for like 15 years and now the arthritis is starting in my thumbs 🙄

What on earth did you do at 15? Were you that guy that jumped off the 10 foot roof and landed legs locked in rainboots? :p

bizzle,
@bizzle@lemmy.world avatar

I threw a head high kick in a kung fu tournament and landed weird, it’s never been the same. I probably tore something but I didn’t go to the doctor on account of the fact I’m American, but I manage the pain pretty well with medical marijuana and walking barefoot, at least in the warmer months.

@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

I’m tempted to say 40, so I can relive the most physically fit part of my life, but maybe I should wait until I’m really old. Not sure

Gradually_Adjusting,
@Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah stick with 40. What are you gonna do, be like “yeah it feels great being only 50 years again! Glad I passed up having a second twenties.” If you heard someone say that you’d think they were insane.

HonoraryMancunian,

True, but I was a doofus in my twenties. I suppose it depends if we get to keep our collected wisdom/lack of fucks or not

Gradually_Adjusting,
@Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world avatar

If I can’t keep my thoughts and memories, it’s not the pill for me

HonoraryMancunian,

Agreed

But then again, I do miss my party-hard years…

AceFuzzLord, in What are some must have Firefox plugins?

For me, I cannot go without the flagfox extension on PC. Otherwise, I’d probably just be going over extensions everyone else has been beating like a dead horse.

cashews_best_nut,

Can you explain why? I installed Flagfox and it’s interesting especially cos I used to be a web dev but I don’t get why you’d really need to have it? No offence I just wanna know if I’m missing some hidden feature! 😂

AceFuzzLord,

I just use it because I like to see where a website’s server is supposedly located. No hiddeb features, just server location.

ilinamorato, (edited ) in What are some must have Firefox plugins?

On desktop,

  1. uBO, of course
  2. Bitwarden (replace with your own password manager)
  3. Redirect AMP to HTML
  4. Redirector
  5. Multi-Account Containers

With these five, you have control over the entire Internet. You can bend it to your will. On mobile, just 1, 3, and 4 (assuming you have your password manager installed at the system level, and until Containers works on mobile).

I also really like Notes for Firefox and Dark Reader, but they’re not what I’d call must-have.

deegeese, in Just an idea to make the Fediverse better, what do you think about it?

I’m a developer and I use OAuth 2.0 for work but half of this is Greek to me. You should post in a developer forum instead of general Ask Lemmy.

thecookingsenpai,
@thecookingsenpai@lemmy.world avatar

True, I just wanted to be more generic before going technical (this is very vague from a tech point of view so i was testing how the idea could be reacted)

deegeese,

You should explain the problem you’re trying to solve instead of diving into your proposed implementation.

thecookingsenpai,
@thecookingsenpai@lemmy.world avatar

Will add, you are totally right

Kolanaki, (edited ) in What are some must have Firefox plugins?
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

uBlock Origin and some kind of mouse gesture with rocker commands extension. Those are the only two universal types I use. Everything else I can’t live with is pretty specific to my own usage to alter the function of specific websites (like RES for Reddit, but for other sites).

cashews_best_nut,

Are you getting paid to post or are you just a terminally online Lemmy-addict? It’s not good for your mental health to be online this much.

Kolanaki, (edited )
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

Is it being silly online or simply reality that is really affecting my mental health?

uBlock Origin

Optional: Dark Reader Wappalyzer if you want to see cool web info

cashews_best_nut,

If you like Wappalyser you may like BuiltWith and WhatRuns. 👍

Nanomerce, in What are some must have Firefox plugins?

Flagfox, not that useful but it’s interesting to see

xe3, in What are some must have Firefox plugins?

There are only *two must have extensions in Firefox:

  1. uBlock Origin
  2. Your password manager’s browser extension

Beyond that it’s all optional. Most things I used to use extensions to accomplish are now possible to accomplish using Firefox’s built in settings or using uBlock Origin.

There are a few other extensions I use that I consider useful but optional:

  1. Dark Reader
  2. Facebook Container
  3. Libredirect
Blisterexe, in Have you ever learned anything on the spot?

You can hold down spacebar or left click to fast forward thru a YouTube video!

PM_Your_Nudes_Please,

You can do the same thing on tiktok. Hold near the left side of the screen, and it’ll play at 2x speed.
