This occurred to me the other day and I feel like it’s so crazy that it maybe could happen. Is it too late for him to run in the upcoming election?

I’ve often wondered this. I have a few possible answers, but I’m curious what you all think.

Me personally? I’ve become much less tolerant of sexist humor. Back in the day, cracking a joke at women’s expense was pretty common when I was a teen. As I’ve matured and become aware to the horrific extent of toxicity and bigotry pervading all tiers of our individualistic society, I’ve come to see how exclusionarly and...

Mine is a pretty tame example: I never minded the smell of garlic was fine around it… but I took a job for DHL and they had these large tubs of garlic for horses that had to go out to people. There were about 10 of them coming down the belt....

I’m a millennial with boomer parents, who are famous for their hands-off parenting approach. Just wondering.

Hello fellow lemmy’s , A bit of back story. I’m currently stuck with a decision and don’t know what way to take it , I’ve moved back to my home city a month ago to be close to family and friends after a 3 year relationship ended, now that I’ve settled in I’m starting to regret the choice in moving , my job is based...

Spoilers possible so quit reading if you care about that. I’d use a spoiler tag but I’m not sure how to do that with Memmy....

What’s your prefer two-factor authentication app for iOS?...

I’m weirdly obsessed with smelling and comparing different consumer goods (shampoo, laundry detergent, and deodorants)

Hi, I used to mod on Reddit for a while but stopped for a few years. I am hoping to find listings from communitys that need mode due to all the new traffic. I want to jump back in to support Lemmy.

I’m up to 92 so far. A mix of non English, furry and hentai porn, and a few I just don’t see the point of. I’ve got 6 or 7 users to, mostly bots that repost reddit content, and the piped link bot.

My parents have always been left-wing hippies and entertained the odd conspiracy theory, but during the pandemic they got lost down YouTube rabbit holes and bought into Q-Anon and anti-vax ideas. They still don’t believe Covid is real (even though they blatantly had it…)....

I’m a depressed web developer who’s hypothetically thinking about a possible career change. The issue is I live in a rural area. I’m wondering what kind of new career paths would be available to me out in the country? Two I can possibly think of would be a welder and construction, but I have no idea beyond that. Plus...

Has anyone started to create some form of ‘Copy’ Project for Reddit, Not like a clone of the site or something. I’m more thinking of a project that’s goal is to almost duplicate what Reddit currently has on it directly to Lemmy or other Fediverse platforms?

how do you find more communities on different lemmy instances? are there any lists for migrating from reddit?

Dear community, often, when people mention they listen to “hard music”, I just don’t feel the energy in what they show me. Many times I get to hear just monotonous, noisy, wannabe-hard sounds, but they fail to “transport energy” to me. I am looking for absolute bangers, no matter the genre. Pretty much the pinnacle of...

So I’m getting a promotion soon (yay!), moving up from just a line cook to sous-chef and I’ve only been with this company for a few months. Thing is that I’m still quite young (mid twenties) and will be the direct supervisor of some people a fair bit older than I am. Think 10-20 years older. It might just still be a bit of...

Personnaly I like some gore videos or r/figthporn on reddit but it seems like this hasn’t transferred. So just wandering if I’m kinda on my own here which doesnt matter either I don’t miss it that much

I’ll start. I have recently gotten into 3D printing, and, while incredibly frustrating sometimes, there’s nothing more rewarding than getting a perfect print.

Hello,...

I’ve found myself looking for a really good can opener. I purchased my last one, a KitchenAid, from Target and I’ve been disappointed in it the whole time. Sometimes it doesn’t puncture the lid right, and it feels like it got rusty kinda fast–not at all what I want out of a utensil I hoped would last for a decade or more...

I know some places are more progressive in this regard. But from the U.S., I’d like to see every person entitled to:...

As part of my endless and possibly futile quest to be a less pathetic version of myself, I’ve embarked on a campaign to stop watching TV and movies. For me it’s low hanging fruit - some people really love movies, but I honestly can’t remember the last time I watched something that I truly enjoyed. It’s just something to...

Like the title says, what are your favorite lyrics?...
