This is probably one of the most loosely moderated communities on Lemmy, intentionally. I have no desire to be the morality or thought police, I just know that a lot of people don’t want to be surprised with porn or gore that they weren’t intending to see, so sometimes I ask people to use the NSFW tag.

Getting reports on this. Could you add a NSFW tag?

As a general rule of thumb, it would be best to tag anything that is (or appears to be) from porn, even if censored or off screen.

Dumping this much corn at once is basically food waste.

We all hate them. Please help.

I did some googling and found this. Not sure if it’s the most common name for it or not, because I’ve never heard it:

Please add NSFW tag

He’s famous as a really good geo-guesser (a game where people get random google streetview images and try to drop a pin as close to the coordinates as possible).

People give him challenges all the time, and it’s really impressive.

Here he is finding someone’s location based on a picture taken from a plane.

It’s nobody’s decision but yours, but I will point out that as humans, we are very poor predictors of how we will think or feel in the future.

When we’re depressed, our brains process thoughts of the future as if we’ll be sad forever. When we’re happy and have lots of energy, we make big plans as if we’ll always feel that way. Lottery winners feel an initial euphoria and think they’re set for life, but studies show their mood returns to baseline after about 1 year. Age and development helps you push the fog of foresight a little further, but it’s still hard.

I don’t know you, but if I were speaking to myself at age 22, I would caution making a decision like that so early. I still cringe about being tasked with picking a college major at 18 and how wrong that could’ve gone, and this is easily 100x more important.

Go for it! I stole this anyway.

I may have to one of these days.

I love my Logitech G502, which I’m sure you will see recommended anywhere you look because it’s pretty popular.

I’m still using the wired version, but if I were to be in the market for a new one today, the wireless one would be the first I checked out.

It’s so sad. I feel like we need to be hoarding all sorts of random media that was put out pre-AI, because it’s flooding everything. Videos, music, gaming, historical photos/videos…

Random example: I have a folder of desktop wallpapers that I’ve been casually adding to for the last decade or so. Literally thousands of them by this point, but I haven’t added anything recently because every source is inundated with AI generations now.

The Monterey Bay Aquarium otters are my favorite.

There are a lot of long nature videos on youtube meant for this purpose - some with relaxing music, some without. I’ll occasionally play one on a TV when I know I’m going to be bouncing around the house all day, and it’s nice.

I don’t know of any actual livestreams like that, but some zoos have livestreams of their aquariums or exhibits that are cool too.

Ok, I’ll put Akira on my list…

For sure. I bet there’s a substantial number of people who only know of it from the references and haven’t seen the show.

Could it mean “this changes everything!”?

As in, a fancy way of saying we’ve truly entered a new age? I’m trying to think of a modern equivalent but am drawing a blank.

Including arguably the most famous episode!

Also, fun fact for the other Trekkies on here: the main character in this episode was William Shatner.

Yeah, the conspiracy-prone side of the internet has a lot of overlap between people who believe stuff about “the Jews” and also constantly talk about elite pedo rings (e.g. Pizzagate). They’ve really latched on to the Epstein case because it’s the closest thing to a smoking gun for the latter.

These people are very angry at the Trump administration right now, so it makes sense to assume that’s the profile of the hacker.
