I did exactly the same. I found lemmy through a reddit post about alternatives to Reddit. And after 13 years as a daily reddit user, once RIF went down, I haven’t gone back.
I do wish we’d get more traffic with the science communities but I’ve still noticed slow and steady growth since then.
“Ow, My Balls” is a claaaassic.
711 was a part-time job.
I’ve never been stung by a bee either! I’ve had a wasp get me a few times but bees and I have a unspoken truce, I guess. We have carpender bees all around our house and my wife hates them but I enjoy watching them have those valiant mid-air dog fights. Those little bastards can scrap. They never bother or dive bomb me but sometimes they get curious and kinda hover around me, presumably doing a bee’s version of a vibe check. I dont run or swat at them and they just peace out after maybe 15-20 seconds and then ignore me next time Im outside in “their” territory. … My wife on the other hand, swats, screams and runs from them and they’ll straight up go after her. She clearly does not pass the vibe check. It’s wild.
“Baitin’” Friggin hilarious. Judge is an American treasure.
I said, SHUT UP! I’m watching “Ow My Balls!”

Grumpy sound guy.
Sounds like your friend is just some dumbass who’s trying to fit something in there that just doesn’t. …that’s what she said
Hell yeah. 74 solid minutes Danny shredding, spattered across the entire album with Adam, and J-d-o double G takin us on a kickass adventure. Damn that would be sweet.
Honestly… Maynard from TOOL. Tool is my favorite band for decades at this point but if anyone had to go, it would be him. We’d get more albums from Danny, Adam and Justin and none of the snobby asshole attitude MJK brings to the band. I’m not anti-MJK but I’d love to get a version of TOOL without him in the mix.

Upgradde, with two D’s for a double-dose of pimpin’.
The best I can ever do is learn more about the universe we live in. I don’t think we may ever have concrete answers for any of those questions. We may not even be asking the right questions to begin with. Science youtube channels scratch that inch for me though. PBS Space Time, Astrum, SEA and Arvin Ash’s channel are some of my favorites. Content a bit more in depth than the most basic but presented in a way a smooth brain like myself can mentally digest.
I work in the film business. Im one of the on set tech worker bees and the thing that annoys me most in movies is making them. What a shit industry. In the past +5 years of so, it has really gone down Hill. I’m an IATSE member and year after year these big studios have taken everything from us, refused to give reasonable raises, even if only to keep up with inflation, and the daily production demands get bigger and bigger, putting so much pressure on the crews. On top of all that, they brag about setting record profits every year while pretending to be shooting a huge film on a shoestring budget. I hate it and I’ve been trying to get into another industry but it’s so hard. It’s hard for me to enjoy movies anymore because I’m so resentful. I work on the big big stuff too so it’s not like I’m getting screwed over my little indie shit stain prod cos. These are the jobs people dream of and it’s not what you think it is and everyone hates it once they get here. It’s not the work itself though, it’s those you work for. Ignorant peanut counters and the precious shareholders ruin everything.
I drilled a hole in a piece of scrap wood I had in my shop so my wife and I could observe it the only way we could with what we had on hand. Still cool as hell to see that in any form IRL.
The one with the sun and the moon.
I got a kickass drill press. May not seem that interesting but when you step in front of that puppy, fire it on, crank that lever down and put holes of all sizes in any and everything that’s not bolted to the ground, you feel the raw power and adrenaline pumping through your veins. Your conciousness is immediately elevated to that of a hindu goddess and you begin to lift from the ground, effortlessly floating 2 inches off the ground as all turns bright white extending into infinity. Also, your wife gets super pissed.
Going after that anger dollar, I see. Big market.
