Ask Lemmy
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 !askusa@discuss.online
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.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Seems like plenty of death fantasies for one person.
Sad reality of the world that we have so many evil leaders that the world would be better without.
Hoping that them dying solves the issue assumes they'll get replaced by someone less evil, which isn't always the case. Death doesn't fix the broken system that got us those leaders in the first place. It only satisfies the primitive human desire for vengeance.
Nah it absolutely creates change. If you take a look at history when a despot dies change follows. Not always for the better but it creates an opportunity for justice and sometimes opportunity is all you need.
You say "nah" but I don't see you disagreeing with anything I said.
I guess you're right. I might have misread your comment a bit sorry.
I showed the site to my wife. She chuckled.

Kids copying a funny idea poorly. The original version was this site that tracks whether Abe Vigoda is dead:
And Cloudflare protection on it as well, that surprised me
We have Wikipedia as the home page and check it daily for photo of the day, fun facts and news. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

Didn't know about this community; checking it out! Thanks :)
Be warned. It's a productivity sink. I had to block it because it was too distracting.
Depending on time of year: nhc.noaa.gov
Alltoc is new to me. That's a really nice site! Thanks for sharing!
As long as you know that Finviz sells a story, and not the truth then that's good.
The stock market is a casino, and the house always wins
Altoc seems cool but is any there way I can tune it for my local news?
Lemmy (App). RSS otherwise. Websites suck for Daily checking
RSS are so underrated nowadays. They're the best way to keep up with all the news and the people you follow.
I still blame Google on the demise of the RSS feeds (when they killed Google Reader).
Porn, bank, weather. /s
Weather, fediverse, cppreference 👈
This ex weather. I don't go out anyway.
I walk to work everyday and I want to know whether I need to prepare emotionally for gloomy weather or not.
wunderground. Can filter down to the zip code to see the weather in your area, and it’s more accurate than most other sites (looking at you Apple weather).
My neighbor even has a small station in the system too. Very local.

lemmy, hackernews, some local forum, everything else via rss
Btw, does lemmy have rss?
Yes, on website of your instance there is a small resource button
Also thanks!
Yep, it's accessible through the UI when you're viewing a community's feed, to the right of the sort type chooser.
Thanks!
sometimes wiki on specific biology/botany related stuff, and peer reviewed site on different categories of biology.
Idk man, I know the methods can be a little math heavy for the uninitiated. But if you look up some statistics classes on you tube, it really helps with even non scientific stuff. It's probably the only math I haven't lost over the years.
