  • "Cursed electric heating filament! You are inadequate to my needs! Why? Why? Why was I not built with a death ray!" - Toaster

    Jump

  • Books about anarchism, fascism, etc?

    Jump

  • Hmm. Maybe

    • „The myth of a strong leader“ by Archie Brown

    I really like this one. It reads pretty modern and might give some insight how the situation in the US might evolve:

    • „Berlin Diary“ by William L. Shirer

    That one is a classic:

    • „How to spot a fascist“ by Umberto Eco.

    Stefan Zweig talks about the rise of the nazis and the beginning of Second World War in his memoirs for a bit:

    • „The world of yesterday“ by Stefan Zweig.

  • Whats the cheapest way to get across an ocean by a ship, and how?

    Jump

  • Many freighters rent cabins for passage. No idea how expensive this is, tho.

  • 61-year-old Hong Kong tourist killed by train in Japan while taking photos on tracks

    Jump

  • Sometimes you get the train, sometimes the train gets you.

  • Merz fordert defacto Abschaffung von Schengen und Asylrecht

    Jump

  • Wir sind alle so im Arsch.

  • Deleted

    The fact that this is a real image is infuriating

    Jump

  • On the other hand, I have problems with authority, keeping my mouth shut when I should, and don't intend to make it easy for people to get purged

    In Nazi-Germany you probably would have been one of the first the Nazis took away. One strategy of them was to curbstomp immediately any defiance in the population. They were successful.

    Under the Magas? Who knows, you might hold out a few years. My guess is about 3 years max, they’d want to consolidate before the coronation, erm, I mean the the next „election“.

  • Fediverse sounds gross

    Jump

  • That’s why you join an instance that defederated from the porn in the first place.

    Just make an alt account on a nsfw server and you‘re golden.

  • Does anyone else expect WW3 within the next 1-2 years?

    Jump

  • I don’t expect it, but I don’t rule it out either.

    Just a warning for everyone who isn’t worried: you expect that the leaders of the world act logically and like adults. That might be a mistake.

  • Stop Trying To Schedule A Call With Me

    Jump

  • „They pay me so they don’t have to talk to you“

    Awesome!

  • The Internet Is Worse Than a Brainwashing Machine

    Jump

  • What? The article says basically just „fake news bad“ and you have to dig up the name Captain Beatty?

    Holy overinterpretation, Batman!

  • It's gone bad, throw it out!

    Jump

  • Sigh, I miss the Alternative Music of the 90s and 2000s.

  • Maybe next year

    Jump

  • My man!

    Honestly, chilling on the couch with a cold beer during August sounds like living the life!

  • British girls outdrink boys — and most of Europe

    Jump

  • Whooo! Girl power!!!!

  • Fantasy books with an interesting "soft magic" system?

    Jump

  • Hmmm.

    • „The dark is rising“ Series by Susan Cooper
    • „The Moon of Gomrath“ by Alan Garner
    • „The Innkeepers Song“ by Peter S. Beagle
    • „Stardust“ by Neil Gaiman
    • „The Night Circus“ by Erin Morgenstern
    • „Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrel by Susanna Clarke

    Those were on top of my head. There are probably many many more. Also check out other books by the authors I mentioned.

  • Biden reportedly regrets ending re-election campaign and says he’d have defeated Trump

    Jump

  • Is it me, or is he going more senile with every new day?

  • Update: post deleted Most popular thread on /r/Redditalternatives is promoting Discuit, despite it having 185 weekly active users compared to the 44k on Lemmy. Feel free to chime in

    Jump

  • Nah, I think your choice of words in both cases (hazing and initiation ritual) is pretty hyperbolic and not at all correct, sorry.

    But you are of course right, being spammy or obnoxious is obviously counterproductive, I agree!

  • Update: post deleted Most popular thread on /r/Redditalternatives is promoting Discuit, despite it having 185 weekly active users compared to the 44k on Lemmy. Feel free to chime in

    Jump

  • Yeah, good idea. At least some organised effort would be helpful.

    The other guy was right so, we should only inform and be helpful. Coming off as zealots would be counterproductive.

  • Ah, thanks for the info and very good point. Good to hear that it’s not that bad.

  • Sorry, I’m not a native English speaker, but I don’t think that hazing is the correct term here.

    I know were you coming from of course, but I don’t really see the harm telling people who are clearly dissatisfied with reddit about Lemmy.

    Lol, they’re certainly not forced to join it.
