This world is cruel… in c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world

Any women here who can give insight on why woodworking is attractive? I thought my hands would be too grimy with sharpening grit, everything covered in chips and shavings and my hands covered in scars for it to be considered attractive.

Also do you find power tools or hand tools more attractive?

I use a lot of Japanese woodworking tools and hearing Hitachi outside of the context of steel production is always so confusing. They make some of the finest steels in the world, to be forged into unparalleled blades by master craftsmen and they also make "marital aids".

What is the smallest city in your country that everyone can still instantly recognise the name of? What is it famous for? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Dont live near Pennsylvania at all, but Scranton sounds very familiar .

What side hustles have you personally seen work pretty well? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Knife sharpening. Not hard to learn how to do it decently, and hard to find someone who can do it decently. The equipment is not too expensive either. 40$ for a good coarse stone (you will need one!!!) And 40$ for a decent combo stone of medium and fine. You probably want a good flattening stone too.

DONT use amazon, all of the stones there are scams. A good coarse stone is a Naniwa lobster 220. A good combo stone is the KING KDS 1000/6000.

What is something that you experienced that changed the way you viewed the world? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

"Assholes" imply that its malicious, when people are just very, VERY lazy. Only the "laziest", most energy conserving humans would have survived, exhibiting the least amount of energy required to sustain themselves. Since putting away a cart isn't strictly required, a lot of people just don't care. Only those who know better will.

Is it better to give misinformation or give none at all? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Won't stop AI from scraping it and stating it as fact

Do y'all actually read articles or just the headline? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] weeeeum@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I mostly read the headlines since most articles these days are written to fill a length quota and info is sparse. Most articles are now full of fluff.

A lot of white Germans and nazis, even after the war. Denazification was a toothless affair. Look at how rich Otto Skorzeny was. Many of Hitler's generals were let off the hook, even a lot of the Waffen SS. On top of that you have the executives of arms manufacturers, steel mills, oil refineries, any company vital to the war effort.

Every regime has its cronies.

Is it worth getting into video games? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] weeeeum@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

I would only recommend short games. Ive been gaming my whole life and basically quit recently, because I was playing grindy games that were so exhausting mentally.

Even great games like Terraria, Minecraft and dont starve leave me exhausted. Such huge time sinks. Ive moved onto hobbies that are much more satisfying.

As a young American, how do I motivate myself to work? It feels like the entire system is a scam and it's pointless to even try. in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Not to mention most places are down the same pipeline. Looking at you Germany, Netherlands, Italy and Slovakia, amongst others

Should Ukraine build the bomb? How would you feel if they did? (lemmy.world)
 

Trump has stated he will cut American aid to Ukraine, which makes a majority of total aid. Recently Zelensky stated that if Ukraine's only hope for sovereignty is its own nuclear arsenal, they will build it.

Why on gods green earth do people buy gift cards? (lemmy.world)
 

Utterly stupid little things, its money that is less useful in EVERY situation and expires! Even at the store where you can use it, what do you do with the money that's leftover but too little to spend? Especially at expensive places, you could very well end up with 10-20$ OF YOUR OWN MONEY, that you can't even use!

I was given a dunkin giftcard for volunteering at a repair cafe. First of all I'm on a diet but secondly I stuffed it in my wallet so quickly I completely forgot about it. The day I remember and go through the trouble of attending such a wretched establishment I was told it expired after I finished giving my order! After such bother to try to use this cursed thing I refuse to return fruitless from my endeavors so I paid with my own cash.

It is now, sulking into my hashbrowns and Boston cream do I realize I am now poorer, fatter and fucking miserable. FUCK gift cards.

How to find interesting friends as a young adult. (lemmy.world)
 

I have many interests, if not too many. From cooking, woodwork and computers. Many of my friends are academically very successful but are frankly painfully boring and I sometimes feel isolated around them.

I like to cook when they hang at my house, I'll try to teach them how, some basic tips, etc. As soon as I glanced towards them again I realized they walked off.

This summarizes a lot of our interactions. As we get to a topic I understand and can speak passionately about, they sort of turn off. They talk to each other fine, but it's often internet drama, school drama or sports.

I'm not in college\classes and it seems almost impossible to meet others, especially others that are interesting and curious. I find myself bonding most to adults but it's isolating I can't find others my age.

What's a long standing personal or family mystery that occupies your mind? (lemmy.world)
 

Is there ever something that happened to a family member that you will ever know? Has anyone gone missing under mysterious circumstances? Is the place next to your great grandmother's friend's dad's house totally haunted?

Posts should (almost) never be locked. (lemmy.world)
 

I think that if an outright war is raging in the comments, let it run it's course. All parties are willing participants, free to disengage at any moment.

The exceptions should be when illegal content is being shared or illegal activity is occurring (CP, doxxing, etc).

It's always frustrating when a juicy argument gets locked because it's "unproductive". I was having a great time watching it unfold, both sides hurling both creative and uncreative insults, oblivious to how low they are sinking to. It's great!
