    The solution is to not treat communities like official and unique subreddits.

    On Reddit there’s the PCGaming subreddit. On Lemmy there are more than five. Subscribe to all, or the most active ones, or the ones you align yourself better with… And that’s it, there’s no need to be concerned about which individual post goes on which individual community for a topic, it will federate and others will read it just fine.






  • Here in Brazil there’s a famous brand of chocolate called Baton. The chocolate sells well in general, but lots of kids ask for their eggs during Easter, and they usually come with toy cars or action figures or a water gun or whatever.

    In one particular Easter, the eggs came with a toy that was a long cylinder with a smaller, rounded tip at one end.

    This cylinder had just one feature: it vibrated a lot when you turn it on.

    It also came with a minuscule pen, with almost no ink, you could attach to the device. Their explanation was that it was a fun vibrating pen toy. When asked how’s a pen that vibrates any fun or useful, they had no answer, and why the device was significantly larger than the actual pen, also no answer.

    So for Easter that year, kids got a penis-shaped vibrating toy… And a pen.

    Who doesn't love a good old vibrating pen!







  • While I agree older generations are always complaining about the habits of newers ones, always dooming everything, and that progress is good and unavoidable…

    …I honestly do think we should sometimes sit down and re-evaluate if older habits have a place and if their criticism can bring some truth. I’ve been moving away from the hyper-connected and convenient modernity we live in and adopting older habits like writing my notes with paper and pen, under a candle light, and it’s honestly been fantastic for me, just as an example.






  • While I wouldn’t wish this on anyone, it’s amazing how self-destructive this is. Greta is an internationally famous activist. Flagrantly violating and abusing a person with world renown - along with dozens of other activists - is a radically stupid way to hasten international isolation.

    You’d be correct most of the time, but this is Israel we are talking about. They know there won’t be any consequences because claiming they did something wrong must mean you’re a nazi, and even if you get over that, daddy USA is there to protect them anyway.

    Israel could livestream a soldier killing Greta and they would face no consequences whatsoever.


  • There are classical, “best of all time”, titles that an anime lover like you would defintely enjoy. They’re not available on Crunchyroll, they’re not on Amazon Prime, Netflix, you can’t purchase a copy. A few had selected censored releases in VHS, good luck hunting them down.

    The thing with piracy is that it’s not just a money saving trick used by teenagers, it’s also the only way to truly watch the media you enjoy regardless of what some media conglomerate thinks - they no longer get to define how, when and what you’re going to watch. You have to do a bit of setup once… yes that sucks, but from that point onwards, you’re free.


  • Sociologists love making that claim, but it’s not true.

    A long childhood followed by extremely experimental puberty is indeed a biological feature of our species.

    There have been societies that suppressed childhood due to labor needs, but that came after many more had thrived respecting it.

    Modern childhood is indeed new… Compared to western European tradition, not to our species as a whole.
