Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Almost any single thing about movies or shows. I don't consume either and literally could not care less about any of it. Double whammy with superhero stuff.
What entertainment do you consume if you avoid all movies and shows? I don't watch much myself either, but I still do on occasion
Maybe they just watch shows passively, like my grandmother does. She watches Murder She Wrote, Judge Judy, Jeopardy, but she doesn't really care about any of those shows and doesn't really absorb what she watches.
Or maybe they mainly read books or play video games or just don't consume entertainment at all
It's the second one, video games. I much prefer to play something than watch something, unless I am actively doing something where I cannot play a game, such as eating. But then it's Youtube over any sort of Hollywood thing.
Video games. I would much rather control what I am viewing on screen. It's not even about actively engaging my mind, I just much prefer to play something than watch something. I do watch things while I eat, but that is solely YouTube and mostly from creators who seem like normal people rather than anything with a big budget.
Similarly, I absolutely will not sit there and watch a Twitch stream either. I much prefer to play my own thing.
