  • What's the funniest belief you had when you were a child ?

    Jump

  • Every kid from the 80s & 90s was taught* to believe that, so I don't blame you.

    &nsbp;

    *By movies & books & games and shit, not by teachers. Well, maybe some teachers...

  • That bonzai was Japanese for "fire", and therefore you should never shout "Bonzai!" in a theater.

    Yeah, I'm not sure what I was smoking either.

    Thoughts on lemmy.world ToS issue?

  • possibly even worse than r*ddit

    Are you sure about that? I mean, I'm sure they're shitty, but Reddit? That's a pretty high bar to surpass, so if so, I'm impressed.

  • How many here just use the Lemmy web client on mobile?

    Jump

  • If your instance supports it, you should be able to find it under your account settings.

    For example, this is how it is on the blahaj.zone instance, on desktop (it's pretty much the same on the mobile site, just more horizontally compressed to fit on vertical screen orientations):

  • It's quite fantastic actually, especially since my instance uses vaporwave-dark as its theme. 👍

  • Have you ever been an exchange student or known one? What was it like, and how did it go?

    Jump

  • Wow, this was a rollercoaster of emotions.

  • Why don’t more people start profit-sharing companies or co-ops?

    Jump

  • As others have already stated, it's expensive to start, expensive to maintain, and very high-risk.

    Most startups fail within the first two years, and an organization that doesn't focus first and foremost on profit is I imagine even more likely to fail within those first couple of years.

  • I realized why governments are so fast in approving digital ID cards on smartphones

    Jump

  • That stuff becomes a moot point once you have a decently working bureaucratic system (if and when). If you can ask for a digital certificate online, and get it in your email three days later, you’re not too worried about losing a copy.

    Yeaaaaah, I see where you're coming from, but no, I'm just gonna stick with a paper copy that I know is reliable instead of a theoretical bureaucratic system that could possibly be reliable if it were to exist but in no way does exist (at least in the US).

    This is the government after all. I'd like to have a paper copy in case they fuck something up during a system update and "can't find me in the system". (This is not very likely, I admit, but I wouldn't put it past them some days...)

     

    Edit: Also, what if I don't have three days and I need said document(s) as soon as possible? That's where a hard copy comes in.

  • No problem. Philosophy can be fun! _

  • As you should.

  • Sorry, my bad. I meant more stuff like the birth certificate and other vital documents. I really should've specified.

    (I swear I'm not a dumbass sometimes.)

  • Meanwhile, there's me who just likes paper versions of this stuff because I like to be able to order a backup hard copy just in case something happens to the first one.

     

    Edit: I'm a fucking dumbass. I was 100% aware they were talking about driver's licenses, yet I was only referring to other vital documents like one's birth certificate, and yet I didn't make the connection in my brain. Apologies. :/

  • What's obvious to you may not be obvious to other people?

    Likewise, what's obvious to you at one moment may not be obvious to you at another, simply because you're thinking about the situation from a different angle.

  • What item you use frequently would you be least surprised to learn is secretly bad for you?

  • I too have watched Technology Connection's video on the topic. :P

  • Did you ever celebrate "take your kid to work" day? What was it like?

  • Oh hell yeah. I used to spend hours on miniclip.

  • Thanks, I've always aspired to that. Maybe tomorrow I'll win the Game.

  • FOSS Smash Bros, would like ideas.
