This reminded me of a delightful comedy sketch by John Finnemore ("Penguin Diplomacy". 20ish minutes long radio clip). https://archive.org/details/BBC_Radio_4_FM_20170628_173000_John_Finnemores_Double_Acts?start=80

Despite the downvotes you've received, I appreciate you posting this, because I am always jazzed to discover "classic" pieces that are new to me.

I like it. Let's get philosophical on this shit. What even is a chair?

The genocide is ongoing.

The person you are replying to left a "cricket" emoji (it was actually generic bug because they weren't aware that a specific cricket emoji exists). They are clearly agreeing with your original point about how MLs are oddly quiet in circumstances like this. I get that it's super easy to become hypervigilant towards bad faith discourse in online discussions, but please take a step back and see that the only person trying to start an argument here is you

Perchance do you have autism and/or ADHD? I ask because I experience the same thing as you do, and for me, it feels like it derives from my autism/ADHD. Like, sometimes the first cue that I am severely dehydrated is that I get a headache. I get a similar thing with hunger, where I could legitimately go for multiple days without noticing I'm hungry if I don't get reminded that food is a thing.

I really love how Technology Connections is just living his best life, being so iconically nerdy that he has masses of adoring fans, despite the topics he covers being so ostensibly dull. I remember scoffing when I first stumbled across him; I thought "a 40+ minute video on [boring stuff I didn't care about] — who would watch that?". I think I probably started watching it with the expectation that after a few moments my disdain would be validated, and I'd move on. As it happens, I was enchanted by the magic of "passionate nerd explains something in depth".

This is also useful as a visual cue for "the dishwasher is finished and needs to be unloaded". My ADHD means that visual cues like this are super helpful

I think it's plausible that there are more people here that are neurodivergent. However, even more significant than this is a culture where neurodivergent people are more visible. At Reddit, calling someone or something autistic would usually be an insult. Here, it's more often that we are recognising each other and existing in solidarity.

I was going to say "bit of both", but I realise this is complicated by how long I was on Reddit; the culture and experience over there changed over time. I wonder whether the parts of Lemmy that remind me of Reddit are invoking my earlier experiences

I am in this image and I don't like it.

Look at the cute lil guy. He's so pleased with his hat
