  • How often do you think the highest upvoted comment on a post is the one you most agree with?

    Jump

  • That could be its own interesting question too; I imagine pragmatic case-use will differ with a significant portion of the userbase treating them as likes/dislikes.

  • Fallout Season 2 Opens To 100 Percent On Rotten Tomatoes

    Jump

  • I'm quite looking forward to it. I'd hoped for a binge watch but I like the conversation weekly releases generate too.

  • What companies/projects are anti AI, so we can support them?

    Jump

  • Nothing specific but I imagine all the local shops like farmers-markets and thrift stores aren't terribly reliant on it. (Yet...)

  • What petty reasons makes helping strangers not count?

  • My grandmother would only buy homeless people food if they accepted a bible with it.

    Is there a problem in our society when RIP gets more attention than nurses/teachers/doctors/librarians etc? If so will it ever be fixed? Or how can we fix it in your opinion?

    Jump

  • You can't "fix" human behaviour you can only account for it and adjust.

    Our attention will always go towards the moment rather than the constant. (Unless that constant is pain.)

    Your favourite actor dies? That's momentous. You'll never see them in another production. You upvote it.

    A doctor says something you've heard a hundred times over? You don't upvote it. You relegate it to the same place the other ninety-nine went to.

  • Has someone also experienced this?

    Jump

  • In my 20s I had something of the opposite and had a number of women interested in me who were themselves in relationships, while I was not. Enough of a ratio compared to women who were single who were interested in me (which was not a high number) that I started to wonder why.

    I'm not particularly outgoing either. Probably just statistics/chance, but I always wondered if there was something to it I was unconsciously contributing to.

  • A useful tool when searching long-winded recipes, Justtherecipe.com

    Jump

  • It also helps move your page to the top of searches. AKA, SEO or "Search Engine Optimization". Now, why it does that I have no clue, but Google algorithms decided it was important for insert reason... ???

  • Is there a word or (concise) phrase to describe the paradox of sharing something (like a website) that you don't like, but because you're sharing it you're tacitly helping it?

    Jump

  • The problem is what you're linking is something you personally disagree with, but that doesn't mean it's "bait" in the first place. (I probably should've avoided a political example as I think some are getting carried away with that, but it could be anything.)

    Different example: I could link something about peanut butter though I hate peanut butter with all my heart and hope it ceases to exist. Yet you'd never call "peanut butter cookies recipe" engagement bait. (Well, probably never...)

    The term or phrase has to encompass more than just political sides or something like it. It's the act of spreading something you personally don't want to spread. But what you're helping spread could be benign from most people's perspectives.

  • What are the alternatives to commodity housing?

    Jump

  • The Grand Apparatus from Brandon Sanderson's "Cosmere" springs to mind.

    Light Cosmere spoiler ↓

    The Grand Apparatus is composed of a vast number of rooms all atop and around one another and constantly in motion. [ ] If a denizen needs or wants a room with a particular function such as a bedroom or bathroom, they can make a request to the Apparatus itself and the appropriate room will be brought to adjoin the one currently occupied. Because of the Apparatus' nature, access to sunlight is infrequent and is only accessed by requesting a room with windows which is moved to the structure's perimeter upon transferring. Personal possessions are kept in trunks which are moved along with each resident as they transfer from room to room. Because all rooms are shared, there is no concept of ownership of space.

  • How good does the sex have to be for you to deal with your partners bullshit?

    Jump

  • Good sex can keep a relationship going for longer than it should, but it won't be indefinite no matter how orgasmic.

  • Is there a word or (concise) phrase to describe the paradox of sharing something (like a website) that you don't like, but because you're sharing it you're tacitly helping it?

    Jump

  • Definitely not exact, but sort of a variation. Hoping for something that hits it specific but for all I know there might not be a precise term for it yet. (Besides "outrage porn" but even that doesn't hit the nail on the head, just a descriptor.)

  • I remember 'cause I was anxiously awaiting it. (I love me some Severance. One of the few shows I think is better upon rewatch.)

  • Severance S2 is 2025.Jan 17/2025 for 2e1.

  • What's your default [Sort type] in Settings for Lemmy?

    Jump

  • /agree, probably the closest answer to my mindset so far. (And I do love me some old school forums. RIP Portent and Waryammer.)

  • The Princess Bride is one of my favourites, and most recommended movies.

    Probably the best "has something for everyone Date movie" ever in my experience.

  • How come posts on Lemmy often have fewer upvotes than the comments in the thread, even if they merely provide additional information or expand on the idea?

    Jump

  • There are certainly times I'd rather have 50 comments and 5 upvotes than 50 upvotes and 5 comments.

  • Does everyone have an opposite gender name they would use?

    Jump

  • I think the female versions of my name sound terrible, so, no on that front.

    In general not a thought I've had aside from that. I've always felt comfortable with my gender/sexual orientation.

  • Will an anti advertisement movement ever materialize?

    Jump

  • You'd have to advertise an anti-advertisement campaign. 🥲

    But seriously, I think most of this concern would fall under a subsection of a comprehensive Privacy Act.
