A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, 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 spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just 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.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

But I'm le tired...
Fire our shit!
Not dead.
Dormant.
Spurdo kinda fell off, right?
There’s this gem:
Along with the Bomb Iran song, that shows we’ve been in the same war for decades. It was a meme for a while.
I like Rick Rolling because the longer it's been since someone last used it, the more effective it is. It's like a zombie. It's never really dead. Here is an interesting video on the topic:
You know what else is like a Zombie? The Game. You lost it.
Fuck off
I knew what I was in for. I clicked anyway. YouTube ads ruined the experience. :( lol
Since when did GIFs have sound? :o
I got my kids (7 and 10) singing "Badger, Badger, Badger" and quoting Charlie the Unicorn (complete with voices)...and I couldn't be prouder.
Put a banana in your ear!

I accidentally 93 MB of .rar files, is this dangerous?
The whole .rar?
"wwWWEEEEEEEeeeee!!"
I miss this particular time when the internet had so many "Lol because I could idk" projects.
It took me 10 years to get this out of my head. It was the greatest mistake of my life.
Thank you.
Easy and good old time
"Because fuck you that's why"
