GrayBackgroundMusic@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What was something that you thought was overhyped that actually lived up to the hype?3·7 days agoThe US. In my dad’s time it was percolator brewed (the literal worst way to brew) or with low grade, super roasted. I drink medium roast or lighter and drip brew or pour over. Vast vast difference.
GrayBackgroundMusic@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What was something that you thought was overhyped that actually lived up to the hype?44·8 days agoCoffee. My dad was in the navy in the 70s and you could tell by the tar he drank. Never got into it. Early 20s I got hired as a delivery boy for a coffee shop. A perk was that it came with free coffee drinks. Turns out I didn’t hate coffee, I hated the swill my father brewed. Good coffee was quite good.
GrayBackgroundMusic@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What was something that you thought was overhyped that actually lived up to the hype?2·8 days agoUgh. I’m the opposite. I hate mine. It’s a middling mattress that can’t hold its edge shape. Mine is now a slope. Also moving them is somehow worse than moving a spring mattress which is already terrible!
GrayBackgroundMusic@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is something you never understood the hype for?35·8 days agoVtubers. I get the cute anime girl thing and I like fan art of them as I do other anime. But the models move wayyyyyy to exaggerated. It hits uncanny valley for me.
Also I don’t get the parasocial relationship of chatting in a huge room of other followers. The chat is scrolling by at a hundred miles an hour and you’re competing with everyone else for their attention.
GrayBackgroundMusic@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What brings you joy and happiness or, what are you passionate about?4·8 days agoMaking anything. All of my hobbies are making. Making pickles or beer or bread or dried snacks or canned jams. Designing and 3d printing my own widgets. Organizing and cleaning. Structure.
GrayBackgroundMusic@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the Holy Grail item in your hobby?6·10 days agoGasp. The things I felt seeing this image.

I’m very interested in this. I’m kinda stunned that lemmy doesn’t do this natively.
GrayBackgroundMusic@lemmy.zipto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do gamers make irl money? if at all?55·13 days agoDon’t ruin a hobby with money. You will lose all enjoyment of it. Something changes when you get paid for it.
GrayBackgroundMusic@lemmy.zipto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does anyone struggle with spending money foolishly on prostitutes?9·16 days agoActually never been in a relationship before
You need to be bad at something before you’re good at something, in almost every thing in life. You have to go thru bad relationships before you’ll understand what’s a good one. Just be willing to learn and end things when it’s time.
GrayBackgroundMusic@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What product or service do you use less as a result of their marketing?9·16 days agoAnything advertised on youtube or a local sports radio station.
GrayBackgroundMusic@lemmy.zipto Fediverse@lemmy.world•so... dubvee and dubvee tesseract shut down.English4·20 days agoThanks!
GrayBackgroundMusic@lemmy.zipto Fediverse@lemmy.world•so... dubvee and dubvee tesseract shut down.English12·20 days agoi know you’ve all heard it before
Nope. Seriously, no idea what you’re taking about.
GrayBackgroundMusic@lemmy.zipto Fediverse@lemmy.world•I totally missed the point when PeerTube got so goodEnglish5·21 days agoYep, agree. That’s why I don’t personally use it.
GrayBackgroundMusic@lemmy.zipto Fediverse@lemmy.world•I totally missed the point when PeerTube got so goodEnglish74·21 days agoYou’re right, but they take actual thought and effort. People who use chat gpt don’t wanna do that.
GrayBackgroundMusic@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's something you wish you did/didn't do when you were a child, but wouldn't change you much even if that was the case?1·21 days agoIdk. I’ve forgotten anything that really answers this question. I only remember the really good or bad stuff. I find that interesting in of itself. I would only change the traumas or my responses but then that violates the “doesn’t change much” part.
GrayBackgroundMusic@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's something people incorrectly assume about your line of work and/or hobby?101·21 days agoWork - that I do math and science and stuff all the time. Reality - I do that some times. The rest of the time is investigating why an operator put toilet paper into the gear box or other oddities. People are weird.
Hobby - that 3d printing can make anything and it’s better bc it’s printed. Reality - it’s just another tool, does some things well, others not. 3d printed houses are, in general, stupid PR stunts.
GrayBackgroundMusic@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What app/program do you wish existed and what does it do that you've not found elsewhere?4·21 days agoNavigation app the prioritizes things important to me. I’ll got an extra distance if I turn less or I right turn only or I have no speed bumps.
GrayBackgroundMusic@lemmy.zipto Fediverse@lemmy.world•I totally missed the point when PeerTube got so goodEnglish127·21 days agoHonest answer? It’s easy and it won’t judge you for asking stupid questions.
Edit - people are replying as if I said I do this. I’m sorry for the confusion. I don’t. This is why I see other people do it. When it comes to the general population, most people don’t care, they just want easy.
Waiting so long to cut off a toxic parent. Not spending more time with a good parent. Not going to therapy sooner.
