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.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Fishing. I taught my 5 year old how to fish aswell. Its makes for a nice relaxing day even if the bite is slow
Semantic sidestep: Is gratification a necessary consequence of doing something for the love of it?
Because if so, there's validation of a sort from within.
And if not, that's an interesting thing to ponder.
Take my canoe out on the nearby lake.
Write little web apps that no one but me uses.
I knit because I find the process enjoyable and because I can make exactly what I want or need. There's no recognition in it, and it doesn't save time or money, but I find it satisfying.
I make music as a hobby. It's one of the few things that I enjoy doing and have been consistent with. I like to hear how my sound has changed over the years, I started with making trap beats now I'm into bass production. There is soo much depth to the art, there is essentially an infinite amount of knowledge and skill to obtain.
Another thing is house plants. I like how beautiful they are, and seeing them grow, and taking propagations. I've also grown trees from seeds, in fact I just picked up a bunch of maple seeds this week that I'm going to plant, now I'm waiting for some acorns to drop.
Staying alive, apparently.
playing piano, painting
Write fantasy TTRPG content. I've yet to make a cent from it in 10 years. You basically can't if you aren't a big publisher.
whistling. singing to myself. walking around. usually with my dog so sorta a reason but I decide where to go (somewhat). video games. consuming media (meh not sure love fits there. kinda a background or filler acitivity)
