In the USA the cultural atmosphere slows to a crawl between Christmas and New Years. I couldn’t care less about the holidays. I am curious if the slow down is entirely cultural, or if there is some kind of inherent coupling where we all naturally slow down with the longest winter nights, in places with significantly shorter...
My profile currently shows that I’ve made 1 post and 11 comments, which tracks with what I remember doing, but only two of those comments (and no post) seem to be showing up in my profile when I view it. Has anyone else had part of their lemmy history vanish into the ether?
I have a particular limitation when it comes socially. I perform fantastically in person, but I have absolutely no social sense when it comes online. My best opportunities are a board game night meetup and some chance meetups at an arcade nearby on the weekends. I am neither old, Christian, or a drinker, hence the limited...
My fridge/freezer is like 70/30, and I really wish my freezer was at least 50% of the space of the fridge. My fridge is empty, my freezer is packed because I’m living solo right now and everything will go bad before I can eat it all. What would your dream fridge/freezer be like?
we’re back after an absence. unfortunately my week has kicked off with a full day of completely dying from eating too much food, then my body rejecting food–this is not ideal, obviously. also my internal clock is messed up and i’m way behind on some stuff
Everyone is talking about how there isn’t much content, but when I view All + Active the amount of stuff that pops up for me is almost overwhelming. Is it just me?
So I realized that best feature of these sites (Lemmy, red*it, digg, Tildes …) is that I didn’t know anybody. Yes I know that friend who use it but I don’t know his username and don’t want to “follow” him…...
the details aren’t super important and i’m not going to go into particular depth here but, in summary: i am on break. the burnout is quite bad. the “avalanche analogy” is pretty apt for what i’m dealing with here....
I have this little nightly ritual, 20 min tops, that I think is helping increase engagement here on beehaw. It would be amazing if others picked up the torch....
This is not a comparison between Tildes and Beehaw. The question really is what constitutes a safe space, but looking at them side by side was at made me think about this issue. I’m new in both communities and I’m aware that they are in a state of adaptation with all the newcomers, something to keep in mind. Another detail...
Here is my controversial take: if it is true that a cat needs to be let outdoors unsupervised in order to live a happy life full of enrichment, then we should not have pet cats at all....
I haven’t had personal social media since I deleted it all 7 years ago. It was giving me anxiety to post anything, ruining my mental health due to FOMO and comparing myself to other people, and I had concerns about privacy....
Me and my girlfriend love all food, but really want to try the seafood on offer so any recommendations that you have that are less touristy and more local would be greatly appreciated!
