In many programming languages, phrases are shortened to reduce the time taken to write programs. “var” instead of “variable”, “int” instead of integer, etc. This makes writing code much faster, but what if this was applied to the whole of the English language?

Would you try to disappear? Would you live life normally and hope for the best? Would you go public? Would you buys guns? WWYD?

I see it everywhere. At first I thought these people were just paranoid, afraid that people would interpret a naked clothesline as “my owner doesn’t even use me. Take me!”. But maybe it’s a trend? I don’t know.

Not Lemmy. Not Reddit.

I’ve got an opportunity to put a small time capsule under some cement in my yard. I realize the chances of anyone finding it in the future are next to null but just for fun what would be something you would put in it if you had the chance?

A lot of people kiss their pets or non-human animals in general. I find that very weird. I understand that it is a sign of affection but it seems so off. One reason is that I doubt whether animals really understand this. Also it seems to be on a level of intimacy to me that I find weird sharing with a pet. Not necessarily romantically or sexually (that would be even more weird and wrong and probably illegal). But it is still “more”. I am not sure whether I can really explain why exactly I find that weird.

Usually its like just a few words sprinkled in, or at most like one or two lines…

What has brought you joy?

“I’m what they call a daulie. I’m both a guard and a prisoner!”

Extra points if you manage to remain civil while reacting to the responses of others.

I vote for Slippy Toad. He tries to help but ends up getting in the way more often than not. But you can’t really get mad at him because he’s doing his best.

Though, Its rare phenomena and hasn’t happened in years now.

I was inspired by today’s XKCD text: “Scientists occasionally invent alternative periodic table layouts, which is usually a sign that they don’t have enough enrichment in their enclosures.” (emphasis mine)

A thought I genuinely had in shower. “Huh, the water is basically heated using uranium through a proxy.”

In my personal opinion, it seems ridiculous that you would jump from a relatively open operating system that is slowly becoming more closed to the other option that is already fully shut off.

What are the worst tech purchases you or your family have ever made?

Hypothetically, there is a new superhero show coming out, and the trailer song for it is Romantic Homicide by d4vd. The reason is because the character’s love interest died in the origin story. How in bad taste would this be?

The reason for having so many cooking recipes is hunger and boredom. But maybe that taste boredom comes from our nature telling us “move from here and find other place to live”

Funny how my brain suddenly fears death, when I’ve been feeling kinda suicidal… but all the sudden, now my brain has decreed: “wait, fuck, actually death is bad, dont wanna die yet… aaaahhhh”

I love gossip. I almost exclusively gossip with my mom and I listen to tea being spilled far more often than I spill it myself.

I watched the kids movie Grow the other day and it made me contemplate how many parents have told me that raising kids gave them

Judge: You have been charged with First Degree Kittenphilia. Several witnesses claim they saw you approaching kittens and acting suspiciously… they’re KITTENS! How do you answer to these charges?

If not get rid of it, how to decrease it?

I’m not hear to talk about Palestine, Hezbollah, or Iran. I mean in general, objectively, it’s getting thrown around so much, for reasons that do not seem antisemetic in nature.

I’m a healthy outdoorsy athletic woman, never touched drugs or alcohol or junk food, a lifestyle which is intentional & ESSENTIAL criteria I work hard for.

And what was it?

I fucked each of you in your mouth, shut up, shut up, shut up, you stupid bitch, you made that choice yourself and then you’re unhappy with the fucking result like it’s my fault?? just just just SHUT your dirty mouth, you fuckking stupid bitch

If a non-abusive mother or father has cancer and is on their deathbed, and their son refuses to see them, is that cold, unforgivable, and ‘wrong’? Would it be wrong if the son or daughter celebrated their death?

Hi everyone,

Hi everyone, I hope someone can help me. I will keep this short:

Or were all the old second counting systems wrong?

Hey guys. Im trying to fully move to lemmy. Unfortunately many subreddits I was using - are not represented on lemmy. So I figured I would just sync content from reddit for those communities - so I scripted auto-reposter of top most popular reddit posts to lemmy.

Bonus points. If you think of something you would add to the new constitution.

Lets say you wanted to reach North Sentinel Island undetected by them, and then try to somehow integrate into their community. How would you go about it? Be creative.

OK, so a lot of people have a recurring dream where you have to go back to high school because you missed a graduation requirement, even though you’re a grown-ass adult. But I’m curious if anyone knows what would actually happen in this scenario. Would they wave it off, or would you need to take a college class, or get your GED (or equivalent)? Any educators out there to enlighten us?

I sometimes think I should but then I’m like is my life really that worth documenting?

I would probably get all kinds of diseases if I sniffed every bare asshole from every mammal I meet, humans included. I’d definitely get sick if I sniffed a dozen random turds a day. But dogs can do it without any apparent issues. Not only that, but they can do it across different species of animal, too.

01:15 (AM that is, but using 24 hour time format doesn’t need AM/PM) here… zero sleep, listening to a bunch of depression music… :/

i am trying to see if there is any common consensus.

Something strange has been happening at my job over the last 90 days, and I am trying to understand what is really going on.

I have a Samsung TV outside and inside i have a TCL TV

Perhaps his lie only counts for things he knows though. Also, in an alien society he would be the most valuable asset from another world since he can create infinite wood which is the rarest element in our solar system.

At home it would be more accurate to say you sent a poop. You didn’t take a poop. Where are you taking it? And why?

I’ve heard a lot of Gen Z people confuse dystopian and utopian. Usually I don’t care about “correct” language at all, I’d even argue languages that change are alive and changes are often invisible to those with rigid or discriminatory thinking. In this case the confusion seems almost deliberate or directional as in having an origin in some media where it is confused heavily though.

Title

Its been 38 years and we still don’t know if Annie is okay.

Title. Apparently there is a cruise ship quarantined right now because of this. And a guy at work was telling me some of the staff escaped? Not sure what exactly is going on but is it cause for concern?

Generations are said to have about the same Zeitgeist and experiences growing up, but honestly, the Zeitgeist culture from 1998 to 2008 is way different than from 2008 onwards. Early and late gen z also behaves completely different overall. Its not a matter of age and maturety.

I’ve been running bazzite as my primary OS and while its pretty great for gaming but just about every other software is a bit of a pain to figure out. I recently heard about Drauger OS which is based on Ubuntu which I’m way better with. Does anyone have experience with Drauger? I’d like to hear about is before I do the full hop.

I’m in the bottom half of Appalachia, if it’s a regional thing.

I got this email from my ISP in Germany. I don’t know what to do about it, or where to ask on Lemmy (all the tech communities seem to be about news and info, not to ask any questions)

I don’t understand the modlog behaviour and didn’t find any posts explaining it in a search, so I’m hoping someone more familiar with the fediverse backend(s) can explain it. General answers would be great, but I’ll put the specific context I’m not understanding as well in case that’s relevant:

Often times the highest quality sites are some of the least popular.

Right now there is high bot activity on Reddit, but the high amount of users make it tolerable to some extent.

How often do you cook? Have the same few things in rotation? Cook for anyone else too? Prep multiple days at a time or cook every day? I personally work a weird schedule so I prep food 5 days at a time. Also only eat one big meal a day. That could be anything in my dozenish meals rotation. I prep for my girlfriend too but shes simple. For her I cut up some vegetables (bell peppers, cauliflower, celery and carrots usually) then cook up a couple pounds of seasoned meat (chicken breast or 90/10 ground beef). What about you?

I am interested to know what life was like from the words of people who were still children then or they were from 16-30 years old.

Whenever I play a game with someone new, we quickly realize we have to clarify the rules we’re using beforehand, since so many people have their own varieties. What are some non-standard game rules that you/your family/friends follow?

It’s too similar to p and b. And just look at this: thorn, thee, too vs: þorn, þee, Þoo

I mean, is it any different traveling abroad as a dual citizen between two nations (carrying both passports with you) or does it remain the same as traveling with only a single passport? Are there also complications of possessing two citizenships during times of crisis? (Like who takes charge when something occurs from war, natrual disaster, kidnapping & ransom, etc.).

If you had to choose, what would be most fun and/or useful power from a movie, TV show, cartoon, book, games, or mythos? Include any drawbacks of the power that the source adds into consideration

It has happened before where the son or daughter of a super-rich millionaire or billionaire, or whatever, is on drugs, and maybe they want to stop and refuse to pay the dealer, and the dealer kills the client anyway. But my question is: why? Wouldn’t it make more sense to steal from them or something?

…and I doubt I will change. I’ve not had a boyfriend really ever. I’ve never had a stranger give me a compliment. I’ve never had someone ask me out—and follow through with it. This is all to say that my views and habits rely solely on sex. I’m fully jaded. I resent those who can literally pick whichever guy they want. I resent my best friend for her relationship with her bf. She was not divorced yet, just separated. This guy walked up to her, asked for her number, and that was it. No effort needed. I’ve put so much effort, only to never see anything of promise.
