What kind of things do you think movies are most dishonest about? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Suppressed weapons. Shit is still loud, anyone anywhere near it will hear it. Also, when a bullet hits a person or any other surface the impact sound is loud as well.

Hitting people with beer bottles. You take a beer bottle to the head and you're probably done for.

Haha hard to say, I'd hope they finish it before I'm dead but there's no guarantee there. I think they've made a lot of good progress lately though, I'm hoping that trend continues.

Lots of sweet overnight oats comments in here. Give savory overnight oats a try! 3/4 cup oats, 3/4 cup chicken broth/bone broth/etc. Throw some chili crisp in with some green onions, maybe even a fried egg. Can't go wrong.

Children who grew up teaching themselves because nobody had time to teach them often become adults who are extraordinarily competent and quietly resentful in c/mentalhealth@lemmy.world

There have been a ton of studies over the last several years that show that venting doesn't work, and can sometimes even make things worse. Not trying to invalidate your own experience, but this probably isn't the best advice for everyone.

This one definitely drives me nuts, but these days I don't see how else to keep systems safe. It would be nice and probably be pretty effective if you could just prove to your IT team that you're not a moron to get reduced restrictions though. Most people I imagine would fail or not even make the effort, so you could be reasonably sure the risk was minimized this way.

What's the worst change made in a movie adaptation of a book? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[–] SimpleMachine@sh.itjust.works 24 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Literally every single detail of the Eragon movie. God I hope someone actually adapts it well some day. Not that it's the world's best prose or anything but I truly believe it would be a great series with the proper director and cast. You know, where literally any of them had read and appreciated the source material.
