  • So... you're essentially carrying around a power bank on the back of your phone all the time? Seems like a gimmick at best.

    Honestly, fast charging has turned this into such a non-issue that you'll be hard pressed to find a more convenient solution.

  • Sometimes our emotional batteries run low and we feel like mouthing off (like this guy is doing) instead of being sympathetic. Most people don't, but we can have a bit of a laugh relating to feeling like depicted in the comic. This helps us let out some of our negative emotions without anybody having to put up with them which in turn allows helps us to keep being emotionally supportive to those we care about.

  • Ooh yeah that one is a classic

  • My own answer is what got me thinking of the question.

    People cheering for, happily celebrating or laughing at death or people dying.

    At least to me, death is dark, serious, grim and horrible on a very fundamental level. Even if it is deserved or necessary it just isn't something to be elated about. Human beings dying don't combine with happy feelings.

    I find it literally sickening. Usually it's been in the context of people behaving horribly (for instance suicide encouragement, terrorism etc.) but todays lemmy feed also brought it out, and really made me think about why it made me feel that way.

  • This is a genuine effect well known in commerce - people are more likely to enter when there are already customers.

  • Whilst I agree that some mods may be overzealous and that the fediverse has a serious slant, you also seem to have behaved very uncivilly.

    In any case, unlike reddit, there are many options. When lemmy.ml/c/world bans me for criticizing genocides comitted by the USSR & CCP I can still post to lemmy.world/c/world or even create my own community for world news elsewhere.

  • On mobile i use mutify, which simply mutes audio whenever an ad starts. Dead simple and works like a charm!

  • Not sure if it's my favourite, but I definitely haven't seen it mentioned on the internet: Kai Chronicles!

    It's an app with the entire lone wolf saga CYOA books in digital format, for free, no ads.

    Definitely would recommend.

  • 90% of the time if I ask for help on forums the answer will be one of three things:

    • Completely absent
    • Just google it scrub lmao (nevermind the fact that search has gone to shit)
    • Doesn't actually answer the question
