  • What’s the craziest or most outrageous (maybe even NSFW) incident that led to someone being fired from your workplace?

    Jump

  • I'm guessing this wine's vintage is some time last week?

  • It's them got dang vidya games, I tell ya whut.

    Jump

  • In highschool I had a friend who thought he was effective at using violence because he was good at videogames. It was hilarious watching him learn he was wrong.

  • A sorcerer appears and states that they will erase any one song from existence - which song would you choose?

    Jump

  • Praise You by Fatboy Slim. I hate that song so much I have to turn it off whenever I happen to come across it. It's the drawn-out repetitive tones.

  • what is the worst idea you ever had?

    Jump

  • Drive-thru surgery.

  • What's the mayoral scene where you live like?

    Jump

  • The mayor's job is to co-ordinate public information and make press releases during an emergency. He's an authoritative source. Better for people to get info from him than from rumours and hearsay.

  • What's the mayoral scene where you live like?

    Jump

  • Our current mayor complained bitterly because voters expected him to be at his office during a flooding emergency that affected swathes of the city, even though he had a tennis match scheduled. Pretty sure he's not getting a second term.

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

    Jump

  • The process of choosing government officials at random is called sortition. It's certainly not the worst method.

  • Is driving a car this awful all the time?

    Jump

  • It starts out feeling like you're driving a two-tonne weapon in a world full of drunk people driving two-tonne weapons. You're nervous and hypervigilant.

    After a while your driving instincts develop and becomes less of a problem. And on days when the sun is shining and your favourite song is playing, it begins to seem like driving isn't so bad after all.

  • Voyager takes a wrong wormhole at Albuquerque: Part 2

  • 😆 The grand master's dialogue is perfect!

  • And someone to write to. That might actually be the most important component.

  • Once I went on leave and the fella who filled in for me got a few complaints that he was slow. He said it was because I hadn't labelled my store room properly. I added a few dymo labels around the place. The next time I went on leave he got a few more complaints and gave the same explanation, so I added a few more. After the third time I left the room looking like this picture and he shut up.

  • In the doghouse [Clearly Confused]

  • Did you enjoy the joke?

    What was your last refund? Why did you get your last refund?

    Jump

  • I bought a power supply for a second hand monitor and found that the 90-degree angle on the plug meant it couldn't actually go into the socket. I took it back to the shop and the owner offered to solder a straight plug onto the adaptor for me - but couldn't find one to use, so he gave me my money back.

  • What's the closest you've ever come to having a crush on someone on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Probably the closest I've come is recognising the same user name from one thread to the next. So I guess... not very close at all.

  • What music do you use for concentration?

    Jump

  • None. I've tried everything from Mozart to Metallica, and any kind of music playing while I'm trying to concentrate is more of a distraction than a help.

  • How do you eat kiwifruits?

    Jump

  • I cut 'em in half, then scoop the flesh out with a spoon. I've tried biting through the skin, but I don't like the fuzz.

  • If you were the boss of a group of intergalactic explorers, what would you use as the "North" on the space compasses?

    Jump

  • If they’re intergalactic explorers, why would they care about the plane of our ordinary galaxy?

    Because it's a convenient navigational system. If everything outside your home is arbitrary, may as well keep using landmarks you're familiar with.

  • What do you block people for?

    Jump

  • Being unnecessarily rude, or arguing in bad faith. Got about a dozen people on my block list.

  • What's the most polarizing thing you've ever done or said?

    Jump

  • I'm Gen X and I agree with OP.
