    Does anyone else find binaural beats actually freaking psychoactive?

    Jump

  • Just looking on youtube, you can find binaural beats for pretty much anything: inflammation cure, pain relief, changing your eye colour, finding love and becoming rich. All the ones I've looked at feature comments from people claiming they've helped them.

    They can't possibly do all of the above and I don't think there a studies proving anything but a placebo effect.

    And, without truly believing in them, they never had any effect on me. I've tried them in my youth.

  • My cat always does this, can someone explain why?

  • In absolute numbers, yes, but surely something has to be deadlier (# of deaths / # of apperances). That would actually be a fun thing to figure out.

  • How did we move from forums to Reddit, Facebook groups, and Discord?

    Jump

  • Back on reddit, I mostly interacted with communities relating to JRPGs. There are some communities over here, but at most they post some trailers every now and then. There are also some more focussd communities about Dragon Quest, Xenoblade or SMT - all of them practically dead. I don't think there is an instance.

    I could go over to a programming related one, the german instance or even one of the vegan instances for secondary 'interests', but those aren't things I often find myself posting about online to be honest. They seem to be mostly about memes anyways.

  • What do you think of Uncle Roger, the comedy and food reviews he does ?

    Jump

  • From what I've seen he only gets up tight about food not being prepared traditionally. And like, I don't care. As long as I like the taste, I don't care whether or not it's accurate.

    Half my favorite foods are versions that would probably be considered war crimes in their country of origin - at least by snobs.

  • How did we move from forums to Reddit, Facebook groups, and Discord?

    Jump

  • Unfortunately, there is no instance matching my interests. There are a number of communities across different instances, but it seems like several people tried to make their own, didn't interact with each other and all of them are long dead.

    Once I find such an instance, I'll switch over. I've been meaning to leave .world anyways.

  • How did we move from forums to Reddit, Facebook groups, and Discord?

    Jump

  • While I do agree with the problems identified, I can't help but think they also made forums a lot better. Due to the lower discoverability and higher effort to actually join communities felt more personal. You interacted with smaller groups and came to know specific people. I still have friends from back then.

    On larger platforms, I never had that. Even lemmy, which is small in comparison has enough people that I barely even think about specific users. Let alone speak with them on a personal level.

  • What's the latest image in your download folder?

    Jump

  • A rectoscope. It goes up your arse to examine it from the inside.

  • Are there any occupations you uniquely oppose the existence of?

    Jump

  • If you cannot trust in a randomly selected group of people making good decisions, can you trust in any kind of democracy? I, for one, prefer 'dumb' people being directly involved instead of having a lying contest every so often to see which actively evil person can get the most 'dumb' people behind him.

  • Are there any occupations you uniquely oppose the existence of?

    Jump

  • Politicians. Don't get me wrong, we do need them, but I strongly oppose the existance of people who never did anything else.

    I believe we'd be better off with a new set of randomly chosen citizen every so often. Kinda like jury duty.

  • Mandatory Boomer post

    Jump

  • I'm glad people are finally coming around to this. There is still fun to be had in Skyrim, but it released around the same time as Dark Souls, Witcher 2, Risen 2 and Fable 3 among others. Not all of them are better games, however Skyrim most certainly isn't the best one.

  • It's not a perfect system [Haircut Practice]

    Jump

  • Sometimes I like to dip the underside of the spoon and just lick that. Works well for any kind of soup that's been made with an immersion blender, probably works in this case too. (Although, I initially started doing it because the soup was too hot. That's likely not gonna happen here.)

  • I would be seen as downright evil if I do that.

    Being downright evil is the secret ingredient to becoming rich. It doesn't work for everyone, but all the richest people are evil.

    It is a sound financial advice, but also a morally terrible one. It's your call which of these is more important to you.

  • How serious are you guys when you talk about punching nazis?

    Jump

  • For all I care nazis could be hunted for sport. The problem is, neither I nor other people should decide who 'deserves' violence and who doesn't. I'm not holding it against anyone to punch nazis, but I'd only do it to defend myself or others.

  • They very much are for a lot of people. Lines goes up, you can give yourself a nice bonus payout and if things come crashing down you leave. With your golden parachute of course.

  • You have 3 wishes

    Jump

  • Doesn't work, since they are fulfilled sequentially.

    Do the opposite of my next wish. -> Fulfilled, he is set to do the opposite next.

    Don't fulfill my 3rd wish. -> Fulfilled, the wish does effectively nothing and he's got one left that will be fulfilled. All instructions from the first wish are done with and discarded.

    Ignore my first wish. -> Fulfilled, there is nothing left to be ignored about his first wish anymore since it's already done. The wish does nothing and he successfully wasted all 3 by trying to be a smart ass.
