I hope you know how lucky you are <3

It's 2023/2024 and Steve Buscemi is now more attractive than Mickey Rourke

"Dark Histories" has some disturbing ones, as it is usually about strange events or Indeed murders, but the descriptions of the episodes allow you to weed through it, and leave those ones out.

I really enjoyed the ones about "Gef the mongoose" or the disappearance of the man who invented the first moving pictures. It goes deep into the history and times surrounding the stories which is very cool, so its main focus is history and society.

Why does this have so many down votes? Am I missing something?

Denmark checking in

I really mistrust any picture I see online now. It's scary I think. I'm still not convinced about this one.

It's the "hee, hee" I am pretty sure. I also automatically read it in a MJ singing voice.

The flower duet. Used in countless movies: https://youtu.be/8Qx2lMaMsl8?feature=shared

On my long commute I usually listen to:

We can be weirdos: Dan Schreiber from "No such thing as a fish" interviews some interesting people about their odd (and often supernatural) experiences.

Dark Histories: A very thorough dive into a specific crime case or strange event from history. The host really goes deep into the subject which is cool.

No such thing as a fish: most people know it I assume.

Loremen: a little like Dark Histories, but on the funny side, about folklore and history.

My mate bought a toaster: people getting interviewed about their Amazon purchase history. It's pretty funny.

The only real answer for me as well.

Oh my god, I loved Connections! It really was a great show.

But it's not really comparable though, is it? I also happen to live in Germany. I work 8 hours, have to pay for my own 30 minute lunch break and have about 3 hours of transport a day, 1,5 hours each way, the days I go into the office. That makes a day of 11,5 hours only spend on work, not counting the hour getting ready before I leave, which I don't really count as free time. There are no other breaks included in the day. I'm not saying that school isn't hard, but when I went to e.g university I had a heck of a lot more time to explore my own interests than I do now. When I get home I have to make dinner for the family, empty the dishwasher, do the laundry etc. (and I share these talks with my partner) and I maybe have a good two hours of doing nothing before going to bed on weekdays. I would take school, with all the exams and what not, any day.

I never went to school from 7 to 19. Where do you go to school?

They were "shh" back in the day, but with time they have become more of a place for activity for the community. When I was a kid in the 80s and early 90s they were definitely more strict with keeping quiet, especially in the reading halls. Library history is actually quite interesting, and the whole development of the library as a key element in building and supporting democracy and community, is worth looking into.

I think he's just a poorly drawn pickle :(

Interesting question, I hadn't thought about that. I assume they mean dingos.

"Australia’s Indigenous community has had a long relationship with dogs, dating back to the dog’s ancestor, the dingo. Dingo fossils in Australia date back thousands of years, and the first British settlers in 1788 recorded dingoes living with Indigenous Australians"

And dingos are a dog breed

I haven't found anything like that on Lemmy. I recently got into meetup.com though.

I pulled up to the house about seven or eight And I yelled to the cabbie, "Yo holmes, smell ya later" I looked at my kingdom I was finally there

Only to realize that the crisis in Europe was just as bad as there.

The same for me (but 8 hour workday). Honestly, I couldn't do the job if the working non-stop days were the default. I am wasted after such a high-stress day, so I need it to fluctuate. I also don't feel bad on days where I do less, because I know I do a 110% on the other days. A workday is simply too long to be productive the whole time and the workload usually varies.

Am I the only one who thinks there haven't been big 'mistakes" in their life, just, you know, life? I mean, sure, there are things I would do differently given the chance, but not something I would call big mistakes. I would definitely go for the money - I would even pay money not to have to go though my teens again lol
