What are commonly used idioms/metaphors that make no sense to anyone who knows about the topic they come from?

Jump

  • Absolutely.

    • Do you run a YouTube channel? Tell us about it

  • I'm not a history buff but I bet my dad would love this channel.

    • What is the oldest thing you own that you still use daily?

    Jump

  • I don't use it daily, more like several times per week - a wooden cutting board I made in school about 44 years ago.

    • What do you believe in?

    Jump

  • Depends on what n is.

  • Every time I hear this song I just shake my head.

    • We always imagine personal defense weapons as a hand held point shoot thingy. If anything was possible what alternatives could you think of?

    Jump

  • Or that guy from Mystery Men who farts.

    • If there was any TV show that was cancelled or cut short that you could see the planned continuation/ending of, which would you choose?

    Jump

  • Fox did the same thing with Firefly. Showed the episodes out of order and cancelled after one season. It also got a movie years later.

  • Waaaaay - Firefly.

    • What's the dumbest way you've sustained an injury, and what was the injury?

    Jump

  • I used to work nights. When I had the next day off, I would usually stay up all day and go to sleep that evening. So, wake up around 2-4pm Friday, go to at 10pm to 6am Saturday and not sleep until Saturday evening.

    This eventually caught up with me. I was riding a bicycle down a hill, just coasting and fell a sleep for a second. Down I went. Need stitches in my head ( I still have a bump), tons of road rash, and banged up my knee.

    I recovered fully except for the bump on my head.

  • That show has been mentioned several times in this thread.

    • Hey Lemmy, what browser do you use and why?

    Jump

  • Laptop is Fedora Workstation. Here I use Brave for logins and LibreWolf+UBO is my main "forgetful" browser.

    Phone is GrapheneOS - I also use Brave for logins. Ironfox is my main browser which comes with UBO preinstalled plus a few extra blocklists which I did add to LibreWolf..

    Librewolf and Ironfox are synced through a Mozilla account.

  • I very glad to see so many Browncoats here.

    • Is there a way to get an AI to read a text in Trump's voice available?

    Jump

  • Years ago, Mark Hamill read some of Trump's tweets in his Joker voice. They still be on youtube.

    • Described yourself in a paragraph

    Jump

  • No. I'm too lazy. :-)

    • If someone gave you 5 billion dollars to improve the world in any way you see fit, what would you do?

    Jump

  • Pay for drone strikes on all the world's dictators.

    • Do you know any android apps to create data tables/sheets?

    Jump

  • I've used Collabora from F-droid. There is an online suite I used to use but can't remember the name. I'll see if I can find it.

    CryptPad is the online one I've used. The docs can be downloaded and edited/viewed offline. CP is far easier to use than Collabora.

    • What do you believe in?

    Jump

  • Only that which has evidence to support it.

    • Without mentioning smartphones or social media, what societal changes have you noticed over the course of your lifetime?

    Jump

  • There are more idiots. Flatearthers, space deniers, antivaxxers. The more information people have access to the less intelligent society seems to get.

    Surveillance Capitalism is getting more out of hand every year. Combined with more data breaches it's not great.

    • How long until someone is allowed to make a safety can opener with a long crank?

    Jump

  • My mother has one of these. She loves it.
