A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions


Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have funDoxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].


5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.


6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world


7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.


8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.

Speed limits should be in powers of 2, e.g. 16, 32, and 64. That's all we need.

I don't like small tiles. I prefer wood, carpet, cement and smooth large tiles.

Coke Freestyle machines are fucking terrible. And ya wanna know why? Because the normal bare-ass no bullshit added, COKE tastes like shit. Mixing it on the spot does not make it taste right. It's wrong and it's terrible. I would happily lose every other flavor just to have normal Coke back that doesn't suck shit sauce. And thankfully restaurants are going back to the older machines now.

This concerted effort of gurus and new age life advice influencers, telling people to suppress information, are all rich elitists who know what happens when the group shares information.

I think the Commodore Amiga's potential as a gaming platform was never truly taken advantage of despite the massive hardware advancement from the C64, and that save for a handful of exceptions, its game library is mostly poorly designed shovelware that people only go back to for nostalgia.

They're good soggy when they're soaked in something flavorful, like gravy. But like just overly oily, no thank you.

Halo Combat Evolved is out-classed by PC shooters of its time, and before, and the "good" Halo games are incredibly overrated.

Eating utensils should be known as civil-ware, since they're almost never made out of silver anymore
