Ask Lemmy

How I sold everything and started traveling the world full time.

It’d be a bit disorganised but I’d talk about how recipes are not standalone processes but transferable blueprints for how to cook certain ingredients.

Half-life 3 tomorrow.

My single-timeline theory, although it's really just a sci fi idea to eliminate paradoxes from time travel stories.

Disco Elysium

I would probably start out by speculating about this teleportation stuff worked.

The rest of the time I would descend more and more into what's wrong with our current society from my view.

I'll talk about how just purely spewing bullshit about big companies, taking them to court for no reason, wasting their time, filling their "unlimited plan" s with garbage, chaotic compliance - is one way to stick it.

"Quit buying shit, take more walks in the woods, and read more."

I'd either extrapolate on the importance of self negativity and it's how it's been lost in modern culture, or the tragedy that is the loss of teaching civics in schools.

Or maybe I'd just geek out on Laplace transforms and how they allow you to solve complex non-linear systems as if they're DC circuits.

Or how recreational access to psychedelics are just as important as therapeutic use.

How TED talks are stupid bullshit and the audience that consumes them are all vapid idiots.

the entire thing is a self-congratulatory circle jerk for rich douchebags to listen to pseudo experts, from which nothing of substance or merit comes other than everyone feeling very intelligent and that the answers to problems are So Simple.

I remember seeing my first one in like 2007 and thinking what is this crap. They are intellectual candy, the equivalent of pop science and pop psycho books that are NYT bestsellers that people read and think they are geniuses because the read it, when a lot of the information and arguments contained are massively simplified and generalized and to be at odds with the complex reality of the topic.

Ted talks are fake

I immediately panic run off stage and cry to myself in embarrassment for hours.

As I am currently shitting, I will be having a discussion on the important of bringing me some pants and shit tickets as soon as possible.

Don't know nifty I'd be qualified, but the Fediverse and self hosting

The reproductive rituals of bedbugs.

I actually think the basics of clowning are good for anyone. The concept of holding space and attention while remaining present and engaging in two-way silent conversation and making everyone feel like they're part of the process.

The importance of physical media.

Aphantasia, it blows someone's mind every time.

How the dark fleet works and why it is merely a symptom of a broken consumer system.

(I actually spoke on the first part of that last Tuesday.)

Slime molds.

Different types of climbing. Different styles, rules, goals, how they developed, how they evolve. It wouldn't be very interesting but I would have fun talking about it.
