Make sure you’re distinguishing between a circle and a disc.

agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.worksto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Thousands of years ago, when tools were very primitive, it was probably common to have a favorite rock.1·13 hours agoThat '70s Show aired in 1998, 22 years after 1976, when it was set.
1998 was 27 years ago.
agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What communities or instances do you have blocked to make your Lemmy experience more enjoyable?0·15 hours agoI use the opposite strategy, which is what I did on Reddit: browse All, and block everything that isn’t interesting. Sports teams, shows I didn’t care about, other niche communities. I prefer this approach because I like finding content I never would have thought to subscribe to.
agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•where are worker rights parades? why are we focusing on very limited issues?4·1 day agoinstead of bickering over why people are at the queer event and not a workers event
I see a lot of people in the thread interpreting OPs statements this way, but that just doesn’t seem like what they’re saying at all. They didn’t say anything negative about queer events, and they’re not asking why people are at them, or implying that those events should be less popular. They’re asking why workers rights events aren’t even more popular, considering their relevance to the vast majority of the population.
agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.worksto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Over 30 we no longer want to go out - we want to be left alone, with a beer/wine, a blanket, tv, and tacos…10·1 day agoI distinguish between “go out” and “go [some specific place]”. The first one implies just leaving home to be elsewhere, the second implies going someplace specific for a specific purpose.
I like going places, particular places with particular people for particular activities. I have many interests and enjoy exploring them (although all my cool stuff related to those interests is at my house anyway).
I don’t like “going out”, arbitrary places with arbitrary people for no particular reason. My time is limited and I have many interests, if I have free time I want to spend it intentionally.
agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.worksto Games@lemmy.world•How do you keep track of what games you have played over the years?English1·1 day agoMe too, but I don’t really play a lot of video games, so I could list every game I’ve ever played pretty quickly.
agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.worksto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Would alcohol be as popular if it weren't a beverage?2·2 days agoAlcoholic beverages are as old as civilization itself.
Some people theorize that alcohol was the cause of civilization; that we settled down and developed agriculture to have a reliable source of grain to make archaic “beer”.
agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What’s an unspoken rule that absolutely everyone should know, but most people clearly don’t?0·8 days agoSo many of these are “Don’t create obstacles or bottlenecks”.
Return your cart, zipper merge, wait for people to get off before you get on, don’t block doorways.
Clearly, the truest unspoken rule is “Get out of the way!”
Looks like the cover for an album called “Experimentation” by a band called “Synaptic Response”
