Fun idea, I think I’d need to add a like bit of sweetener to make it more palatable. How did you find it?

I get it. I think it would have been more convincing if they pulled headlines from the same sources for the left and the right columns.


I’m far more active on Lemmy, I’d say 10x, than I was on Reddit.
Why is that? I think it’s because I feel like the few communities i’m part of here are places for actually sharing and learning from each other, with the same folks that you know you’ll see again. Not just random spraying of posts and replies everywhere in numbers so huge that everyone kind of disappears in the ether.


ODDTAXI is an excellent short decent anime and the opening is legendary. With just the right riff to end it.
You should also watch the anime don’t think it’s a cutesy animal story. It’s about a walrus who drives a taxi in present day Tokyo, and has some of the best dialogue I’ve read in any anime. Highly recommend subtitles not the dub.


My neighborhood museum had a special exhibit about this a few years back. It was fascinating. Have you read about this? https://news.artnet.com/art-world/enheduanna-first-author-mesopotamian-women-morgan-library-2208775


Mostly free time to meet in person. Busy professional looking for busy professional gets difficult.

Developed nation can be like that when those in power want the masses to be gullible and compliant.
Texas GOP 2012 plank on education:
We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) (values clarification), critical thinking skills and similar programs that are simply a relabeling of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) (mastery learning) which focus on behavior modification and have the purpose of challenging the student’s fixed beliefs and undermining parental authority.

Excuse me, that’s Sandy Cheeks

MAGA doesn’t learn.


It’s all Monopoly money for him.
By which I mean he made all this money with his monopoly.
I only know it exists because it was in a Strongbad Email and he enjoyed saying Murfreesboro.


I think of Grenda from Gravity Falls. But she’s still a girl, in the process of figuring out how to be as confident in herself as Alice.
So Fat, she ate the 68k executable and had the PPC one for dessert!
But you didn’t bring a meme for us? 🥺

He didn’t say that, really, did he?


Spirited debates in bars probably end in fist fights 🙃
NYC Transit Museum! It’s a sleeper but it’s very cool. If you can still get the tickets, the NYC Tenement Museum, which is in an actual tenement from like a hundred years ago.
Find someone who does in person cooking classes for something you’d like to make, and learn it together.
Friday nights my friend hosts this thing at her place Artsclub which I’ve done a few times and it’s fun. I always meet interesting people there, learn about some art history, and I’ve gotten some art that’s good enough that it’s hanging in my apartment lol. Unfortunately the next event is in September. https://www.artsclubstudios.com/east-village-events


New York native fella here. Three days is a short trip, and it’s a very big city. There are plenty of guides out there for the big stuff - pick the things you want from there. If you have some niche interests share them, and maybe some Lemmy people will have ideas.

The Low$ Diabetes (Type II) speedrun will never be the same.


You can calculate how long a pencil can stand on its tip before falling using quantum physics.
Basically a version of this was on our freshman accelerated physics final, and no one got it right so our professor happily explained it to us the next day.
It was pretty much the same as is described here.
