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.

Yep I prefer saying 'goes in tight'.
Automotive racing is a sport.
I feel like that's a pretty common opinion, I've never heard of anyone railing against motorsports not being a sport.
Yeah, I've seen a lot more hot takes on the topic, but none of them seem to be here today.
Things aren't actually all that bad. Seriously, in the grand scheme of things, yo, we doing OK. Antibiotics. Hot water. Sunscreen. Whiskey. Coffee. Shit, we're frying things with the air now, man. As a species, we're doing kinda OK. We could be doing better, but we're learning. Some of us, anyway. There's a lot to love out there in the world, and every day something beautiful can happen to you. Yes, even you, you crabby-ass bitch.
Most Mac 'n' cheese from scratch is poorly made and not good. You have to make a goddamned cream sauce base first. It's not hard, it just takes giving a shit.
I agree with this sentiment. Life is actually a-okay. Mostly.
Anyone can become an addict, it is not a genetic trait. If you use any additive substance long enough you will being addicted, there is no if, its just a matter of when.
This includes alcohol and more people are addicted to alcohol then they want to admit.
People and groups generally are not inherently evil, and if you pay a little bit of attention, their actions are almost always logical to them (even if they are evil actions).
A lot of people might think they agree with that...but start naming people and groups and they will call you names pretty quickly.
Papyrus is actually a well-fitting font for Avatar and also perfectly fine as a font.
So is Comic Sans for anything related to comics or comic-like things.
"The Beatles are overrated"
Not only is it untrue, but even if you don't like their music you're an idiot if you can't see their influence.
I see more influence from Jazz, and other genres of black origin, than anything the Beatles have come up with.
That's because you refuse to see their influence.

Quentin Tarantino is a pretty good director. Not great, not terrible, just pretty good.
