I have a 91 Chevy S10 that I will likely be buried in. I’ve had it for nearly 15 years and it’s my favorite. I learned to drive in an S10 and sadly we had to sell that one. I bought the current one as a “replacement” and I love it even more. It is objectively not that great, but it’s clean and runs well and when it dies, it’s getting a V8.
I mostly don't need a 1:1 replacement, just great content. There is more great content added in a day than there are hours - even if I watch on 2x speed. Note that I reduced this great content as opposed to the junk and there is still more than enough. Just give me some of that content and I'm happy. (junk vs great is in the eye of the beholder)
They might as well has asked “what was it like for you growing up?” because everyone’s just posting their own experiences and insisting their entire generation was exactly the same.
I was going to say this, plus the only person I’ve ever seen walk hard enough to leave marks on a hardwood floor was this tiny woman in very tall heels
I like a lot of the campy horror movies that typically have 5 or below on IMDb. One of my favorites is Sorry About the Demon (2022) on Shudder/AMC+, which currently has a 4.9 rating.
I find it hard to use IMDb ratings as a metric for picking a good horror movie. The scores sometimes seem like they’re just all over the place, when looking at the horror genre. I just watch a trailer, maybe read about it a little, and check it out myself. I would’ve missed a ton of good horror flicks if I had gone with ratings alone
Didn’t see Sorry About the Demon, but “campy horror movies that typically have 5 or below on IMDb” makes my brain scream Dark Angel: The Ascent and Modern Vampires.
Although the rss feed feature is broken so there’s been no posts for a few days, !bapcsalescanada is one I used to track PC part sales. It was mirroring from Reddit, but just one easily blocked user from anyone not interested. We don’t have enough people frequenting RedFlagDeals and if we rely on individuals posting deals it will be way too late. That community saved me from needing to check Reddit at all.
I could get on board with this. Both were amazing at their best and pretty mediocre at their worst. I’d love to see what Carpenter could have done with some bigger budgets. Although maybe the results wouldn’t have been as good. He seems like the sort of director where necessity breeds invention.
Yeah exactly, it seems like a such a shame that The Thing (1982) didn’t find its audience until years later. Because I feel like that’s as close as we got to seeing a John Carpenter film with a big budget and it was great.
There isn't even agreement on what the word means. When I was little my science book defined it as two individual are the same race if they can have offspring together. By that rule all humans are the same race.
A lot of posts are from bots. It would be cool if the bots could make a whole new submission and not link back, but all things considered I’m just happy there is interesting content.
For some types of posts that's fine - the capybara community, for instance, is a steady stream of capybaras from reddit (I think) and that's not the type of post that needs interaction with OP or comments. Posts from say, tech support, very inappropriate to copy to Lemmy imo without a link back and an explanation as it might get a conversation going but it also confuses people who think their response might be seen by the OP.
I think treating Reddit like an other source of information (whether valuable or not) is fine to reference for conversation or topics. While I’m pissed at what the overlords there have done, it still has a large source of community based information.
I agree, but only with the amendment that links to reddit only be text posts and comment chains, or otherwise reddit-exclusive things such as /r/place.
Images and links should bypass reddit altogether and just link to the first source link (ie, the news article or w/e), or be posted as a lemmy image post with a credit citation in the description.
Nobody wants to have to click through 3 different pages to learn who’s winning what war or to see a picture of a cat.
