I wonder if the next president could do something to stop that… seems like the head of DOGE might like it (or not, if that means contrarians disappear and stop “community noting” his posts, and allow for a more echoey chamber)

The invention of .99 cents pricing

Wasn’t that originally to sell newspaper?

When you do things right, people won’t be sure you’ve done anything at all

Definitely Futurama quote most likely word-to-word correct

Shouldn’t sports have categories based on abilities? I see people be like “trans women are stronger than cis women cause, idk, testosterone or something” and I just think, y’know, if that’s a problem, why aren’t categories based on strength or abilities or whatever?

It’s not stealing if you give it back afterwards

I wonder the statistics of programming socks. Like, where did they come from? When? Why? What came first, the programming or the socks? Did they exist, or how popular were they back in, idk, 2000s? 90s? 80s? Actually, what even are programming socks? Maybe I should just research that, and look also into Google’s Trend for programming socks over the years. I mean, I’ve programmed, and wasn’t even aware of programming socks. Been programming in any way, shape, or form, for longer than I knew of programming socks, and I am young. Are they a trans thing? Or a femboy thing? Or are they actually a programmimg thing? How do these connect? What is the connection of factors that lead to programming socks? Are the socks in any way related to programming? What is the connection between the socks and programming? So many questions, so li

Interesting concept: no heaven or hell. The afterlife is living your life all over again, but from the “perspective” of everyone you ever interacted with. Beat up some guy on the streets when you were 23? Guess who will be waiting for you on that faithful day, when you’re 23. On the other hand, if you were beaten up when you were 21, your revenge will come. 21 years after your death, perhaps, but it will come. Same for good experiences. That good thing you did? Shall be done unto you in the afterlife

Is there nothing that can be done about it? Maybe have some sort of community to find smaller communities. Maybe people just don’t know (and maybe don’t look for or find) there’s a community they might like

Is the audience for it not here or does the audience not find smaller communities? I for one just browse whatever loads up on Jerboa, and created an account mainly to have some control over what I see (i.e., blocking stuff I’m not interested in). I don’t know that I’d find smaller communities if they don’t get more popular or popular communities get less active to the point of these smaller communities showing up. I don’t know that I can search for anything but communities (on Jerboa, at least). Is there even a search for general, idk, posts and stuff? Not denying maybe the audience isn’t here. Just think maybe finding smaller communities isn’t as easy (or maybe it’s just me, idk. I’m not even looking for specific communities, tbh. Lemmy is my “eh, I’m not doing nothing right now. Imma just check this app on my phone”)

Can we not create the communities we wish to see on Lemmy ourselves? I know it might not be full of people at first, but if it at least exists, people who want to interact about said topic in said community can find it eventually and do so, and it can grow over time. Or is this not how it works? Is my logic flawed in any way?

I don’t really have much to say on the topic, even as someone with autism myself, but I hope things get better for you! Life has its ups and downs, and I hope brighter days will come for you!

Here, have a tune: https://youtu.be/UFtNhNuUN8Y

I hope it makes you feel a tad better or something. I know I like this song a lot, and this artist is one that I have listened to a lot when feeling more “down.” I hope it might make you feel better, or at least have some positive effect!
