Uplifting News@lemmy.world•‘You put the top on and your life is sucked out of you’: The fight to change women’s sports uniformsEnglish
8·2 months agoThe successful fight is why I posted it here. Sorry to be so controversial with it.
He misjudged his centre of mass. As many men do. ;)
Do you have a program to help you count sheep to fall asleep? Asking for a friend
Probably not. Reddit post from four years ago has this image, and that’s from before AI was good enough to do fingers. https://www.reddit.com/r/sbubby/comments/kgjoai/my_neighbor_baphomet/
From the comments: “This piece of artwork was made by Herdis @asep.h.thefallen”

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is there anything you're into that no one or basically nobody is into?
2·4 months agoFair, but you can still post about it in the more general cars communities, no?
Even Reddit didn’t start with all these specialized subs. It started without subs at all, actually. And then the big general subs were born, and only later the niche subs were born because the signal to noise ratio in the big ones got too bad. Post your content here in the general communities until the signal to noise ratio warrants a dedicated offshoot.
This advice generalizes. There aren’t enough fans of each sports team here yet to have team specific communities, but there are enough fans of each sport to have general communities for that sport. Branch later.

13·4 months ago“space music” – I played Mass Effect 1 long ago and got hooked on the idea of musicians trying (and often failing) to make music for futuristic settings. This is like Star Trek episodes that reference classical music but some person has to predict what classical music will sound like in 2300. So they go with with future retro stuff and it just tickles me. So I seek out these sorts of experimental musical pre-trend predictions cause they’re often hilarious.

2·4 months agoThere are dedicated communities on Lemmy to these things – and they’re pretty quiet. Post new content there and engage in conversations and be the change you want to see.
I don’t know what 86° is in science units, but it sounds warm. It was +27°C today and the plants were loving it.

7·5 months agoSaw (or rather heard) a few at a football game recently. They’re still here, but at least it isn’t a stadium full.
Instead we use cowbells like God and nature intended ;)
Or the opposite – you wake up with the cat sleeping on your chest, nose three inches from yours, and you’re like: “I just want to roll over and now I can’t!”
Our city made it illegal for scrap dealers to accept catalytic converters, and suddenly theft vanished entirely. Weird.
