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.

Taking this in another direction, Aziz Ansari did a comedy set at my college nearly 20 years ago; he was hysterical. He did tons of crowd work and had everyone in stitches. Then, about an hour into his performance he says “oh, by the way, I haven’t even started my regular set yet”. He went at least another 45 minutes after that.
As for my favorite concert, it’d have to be seeing Coheed and Cambria play In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth 3 in its totality on an anniversary tour. I was with my college roommates and we all love that album so much so it made the show extra meaningful as we belted out song after song together.
Aziz Ansari is incredible at improv humor. I remember the first time I noticed it was one of the Comedy Central Roasts (the James Franco one, I believe) where his set was just roasting things other comedians said during their time at the mic. Most people show up with practiced roasts ready to go. He just winged it on the spot, and I think he was better than most everyone else at that roast.
