Look, you get born, you keep your head down, and then you die. If you're lucky.

  • I'd buy one. If I could wag it, I'd happily buy two!

  • Learned them about age 6, up to 12x12. Still know them, and takes a lot less than 1-2 seconds to call them to mind.

    Except 7x6 and 8x6 which, for some reason, I've never been able to learn so I always end up going from 6x6 = 36.

  • I could never understand how people be stupid enough to need to do multiplication or some other shiet.

    I always calculated the result - i remembered some of the combinations naturally from repetition.

    The whole idea of multiplication is stupid af.

    7 x 8? It's 7+7+7+7+7+7+7+7. 12 x 11? It’s 12+12+12+12+12+12+12+12+12+12+12 you dumb fucks.

  • What's a process where you prefer the old way of doing things instead of how it's done now?

  • Driving manual (stick). I have an automatic now only because the model/trim I wanted doesn’t come any other way but if I could have got it in manual I would have. This car has less personality than my last one because I operate it rather than driving it. I literally have less of a connection with it.

    Playing music on a record player. The ritual of removing the record from the sleeve, placing it on the deck, cleaning it, landing the needle. Listening to an album.

    Cooking on gas instead of a halogen hob. Sure halogen is great and super easy to clean but gas is visceral and ‘real’. I also like to cook over charcoal or, even better, wood.

  • A group of us used to meet every week to watch Twin Peaks. We’d unplug the phone, drink coffee, and eat cherry pie (or apple for a bit of variation). Then we’d watch the episode again having just recorded it and try to figure out wtf was going on. Happy days.

  • What is the scariest shit you can think of?

    Jump

  • Burying my kids.

  • Is there a name for the dark-fantasy/pirate genre?

    Jump

  • Came here to say this. Better than the film.

  • How do you not feel lazy at your wfh job?

    Jump

  • Stop feeling guilty. You’re doing what they’re paying you for.

    I suggest with the rest of your time you start a side hustle. Doesn’t even have to be lucrative to start with since you’ve got this easy gig paying the bills.

    Write romance novels, build websites, create music, record ASMR videos, write a cooking blog, write a koi carp blog and monetise it through ads, build an Etsy store where you sell hand-carved cheese, or a Redbubble store where you sell t-shirt designs, an Instagram account where you post photos of the snails outside your window, a Pinterest account that only shares pinned photos of spoons (don’t do this one, I’m already all over it) … anything you can do around your main hustle commitments.

    You have the luxury of time to get something going. Who knows, maybe you’ll hit the motherload and your side hustle will overtake your main gig.

  • I laughed when a guy came in from Doordash and picked up one can of Formula. I thought crazy someone would do that. But he claimed that he once delivered a candy bar. Anyone know if that possible?

  • Be right back, I think my Pringle has arrived…

  • Do you remember what the first kind of alcohol you drank was?

    Jump

  • A can of Tennants lager in Scotland in the 70s, given to me by my maternal grandfather. Probably about 3.2% or 3.6% abv. Tennants cans had a picture of an attractive girl in a swimsuit on every can. A four pack would have four different girls. The one on my first can was called Isabel.

    First alcohol in a pub was from my paternal grandfather. I was fourteen. Grandpa ordered two pints of bitter. The barman asked him how old I was. “Eighteen. Scrawny little bugger in’t he?”

  • What is your absolute favourite track from a video game?

  • Meet the AI vegans. They are refusing to use artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons

    Jump

  • We don't need to invent new terms, like 'AI Vegan', when we have a perfectly good term already: Butlerian Jihadist.

  • What is your favourite video game quote?

    Jump

  • War... war never changes.

  • Well, my parents are dead, but my kids would scold me.

    But obviously it depends on the crime:

    • 33 mph in a 30 mile an hour zone? My kids would scold me, my wife wouldn't care.
    • Smoking a joint? My kids wouldn't know, my wife wouldn't care.
    • Going on a killing spree with a machete? They'd report the shit out of me, and quite right too.

  • Which games made you go into an "addiction phase"?

    Jump

  • I play video games to relax so I often play on easy, but you know I'll do at least one survival runthrough of a Fallout game.

    Ooh, to reinstall or not to reinstall?

  • What community would you like to see more active on Lemmy?

  • Nice, perhaps I'll have a play! Thanks!

  • I hadn't considered going straight for euthenasia gigs but that's an excellent suggestion!

    And you're right, it says in the question I can choose the time of their death so, yes, according to that I can gift virtual immortality.
