Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is there anything you're into that no one or basically nobody is into?
2·2 months agoFair, but you can still post about it in the more general cars communities, no?
Even Reddit didn’t start with all these specialized subs. It started without subs at all, actually. And then the big general subs were born, and only later the niche subs were born because the signal to noise ratio in the big ones got too bad. Post your content here in the general communities until the signal to noise ratio warrants a dedicated offshoot.
This advice generalizes. There aren’t enough fans of each sports team here yet to have team specific communities, but there are enough fans of each sport to have general communities for that sport. Branch later.

13·2 months ago“space music” – I played Mass Effect 1 long ago and got hooked on the idea of musicians trying (and often failing) to make music for futuristic settings. This is like Star Trek episodes that reference classical music but some person has to predict what classical music will sound like in 2300. So they go with with future retro stuff and it just tickles me. So I seek out these sorts of experimental musical pre-trend predictions cause they’re often hilarious.

2·2 months agoThere are dedicated communities on Lemmy to these things – and they’re pretty quiet. Post new content there and engage in conversations and be the change you want to see.

I think it is a common high school shop class project. Or similar.
I don’t know what 86° is in science units, but it sounds warm. It was +27°C today and the plants were loving it.

I’m a big fan of The North East ;)
Manitoba should invade down that highway – see how the rest of Canada feels when the Riel Rebellion …
Ah nevermind, let bygones be bygones.
Or logging, or farming. There’s a bunch of reasons to have low population density road networks.

7·2 months agoSaw (or rather heard) a few at a football game recently. They’re still here, but at least it isn’t a stadium full.
Instead we use cowbells like God and nature intended ;)
Epic answer haha. My other half grew up in a Soviet apartment block, so I get stories from her about that on occasion. Mostly about not owning any of it except their contents. Definitely a “poor but housed” situation – don’t look behind the curtains. I’m not sure it’s a good idea either. During the collapse of the Soviet Union when the power and heat shut off, they were burning furniture in there – but I guess that’s a testament too a solid construction haha.
Anyway, fun reply! :)
Was in Regina for the weekend (I’m a Bomber fan, don’t hate me) and had a nice time! We were looking up real estate and comparing against Winnipeg and it seemed similar ish. But that doesn’t tell us about the rental market which sometimes has weird emergent phenomena.
If you were benevolent dictator of Canadastan, how would you fix it?
Yeah, and the east coast, excluding Halifax.
Prairie cities, except Calgary, doing alright too.
Or the opposite – you wake up with the cat sleeping on your chest, nose three inches from yours, and you’re like: “I just want to roll over and now I can’t!”









Probably not. Reddit post from four years ago has this image, and that’s from before AI was good enough to do fingers. https://www.reddit.com/r/sbubby/comments/kgjoai/my_neighbor_baphomet/
