bstix, to asklemmy in How do you cheer yourself up after a rough day? Or a rough year?

I go skateboarding. It clears my mind completely. It doesn’t matter that I can’t keep up with modern tricks or anything. It still puts me in a zen state of mind and being physically tiring it leaves me relaxed and not worried about anything.

Exercise is definitely part of it, but also the feeling of accomplishment and occupying the mind.

I’m sure other physical activities can do something similar, but it’s important to find something that fits you.

bstix, to asklemmy in What do you think is the coolest designed sci-fi gun?

All the Warhammer 40k guns are pretty thick.

bstix, to asklemmy in What is your earliest memory?

My first conscious memory is of me gaining consciousness at age 3 or so. Everything before that are visual or tactile memories that are difficult to describe.

Anyway, when I had children myself, I suddenly remembered a lot more of those. Things that I never knew that I remembered somehow got recalled by watching my own child do the same things. So at age 40 I vividly and weirdly remembered what it’s like to be standing in a crib, holding and twisting the bannisters.

Tactile memories are weird. I’ve always enjoyed coming to my grandparents house later in life, because of the way the handles on the cupboards feel just the way they’re supposed to.

Have same issue. It usually works to “open in external”

bstix, to thefarside in 7 December 2023

Yes it would. Had I known it was already prepared for it, I’d never have repaired the walls.

Historical-acktshually: the guitar is the grandfather of the ukulele.

bstix, to memes in To all the people complaining about content on Lemmy

They posted the complaint, didn’t they?

bstix, to privacyguides in It seems Gen Z is just fine with parents knowing where they are all the time

In Soviet Russia joke finds you.

bstix, to asklemmy in Is it normal for a person to "feel" less as they get older?

I’ve gotten back better at it. First you’ve got to recognize the situation and the then you’ll need to stop and enjoy it. As a kid you had plenty of time to enjoy feelings, but as an adult you have to take your time to do it.

Not OP, but yes. Japan doesn’t have salmonella issues, so they put raw egg on everything.

bstix, (edited ) to lemmyshitpost in Plates

Sort of. This plate sticks out because in order to create a shadow and light this way when facing down it would have to be angled in a way that doesn’t match with the others when also assuming that they’re all placed on the same surface. It only looks right with the others when seen as face up. The trick here is that we normally assume light to come from the top when given no other clues, but this assumption doesn’t match with our assumption of placement. The text also suggests the wrong way first.

If the picture had been presented upside down, it might have been difficult to even ee it any other way than the correct one.

bstix, (edited ) to memes in Now you're memeing with portals

The original mene has got it all wrong. From mere appearance that guy could score higher than both of these, which explains his compulsory action.(At the time… Appearances change and socially acceptable behaviour has changed in the meantime). He’s trying to break out of the chains.

Unless he’s working in some job that isn’t “respectable”. In that case GF is taking advantage of him until she gets bored. I know plenty of these relationships…

Anyway. Everyone looks the same now, so being dumb and pretty isn’t really appealling.

There’s so many layers to this meme. I wonder if historians or algorithms will investigate it in 100 years

bstix, to upliftingnews in Well, this is something! (fossil-free electricity in Europe)

The renewable energy has some wild fluctuations

This was in Denmark in July

It’s not always this extreme, but there’s usually a few hours every week where the price is negative. I’ve heard that the reason is that the Dutch wind turbines keep running when it’s not profitable, so they crash the prices for everyone. Anyway, timing the car charger makes a lot of sense. I haven’t paid for driving in several months.

bstix, to memes in I'm a dissolved man on a Halifax pier.

I guess they’ve got hard water in that city too.

bstix, to upliftingnews in Giant kites could pull ships across the ocean – and slash their carbon emissions

There are several others.

Maersk has also had one ship fitted with rotor sails: maersktankers.com/…/norsepower-rotor-sails-confir…
