Them Hardly Boys are at it again

  • Alternate title: The Box that Fell from the Low-Flying Plane.

    • You might as well go for it

  • My other trick was, at a party, to sit in a big easy chair and slowly fall asleep while looking at someone I liked. it's a trick I learned from a cat.

    • [solved] Do you know about the upcoming February 5th event ?

  • your neighbors wouldn’t appreciate the smell of chicken poo wafting into their yards,

    market it as "good fresh country air!" and it'll drive up property values

    • You might check on your trump supporting relatives. It's been eight years since the start of this and when it started most of them were already on the mental decline.

    • Building lore

  • "So... uh... we're all rotting lumps of flesh caught in the gravity well of a floating rock in space. Wanna hang out?"

    Most the people I dated would have thought that was cool, til around the end of college age.

    • How much of this conversation is just hallucination?

    Jump

  • Cognition has emotion and memory components, so yeah that's kind of what happens.

    • Is there a mmo equivalent of the fediverse?

    Jump

  • Oh wow are you talking about OpenSimulator and hypergrids like OSGrid? I haven't thought about those in years, I had to look them up again.

    As I recall: people reverse-engineered the Second Life communication protocol to make a library to interact with it. Then they made their own viewers/interfaces. Then they made their own second-life-like servers/worlds. Then they made it possible to connect those worlds in grids. This was all open source. I haven't been following them for a while though.

    • Dansup is looking to fund working on fediverse projects full time

  • ikr Lemmy had and still has some weirdnesses but frankly so do the corporate platforms.

  • Your question is related to a very difficult interdisciplinary research problem: "how does 'meaning' occur in human conversations?" You can approach it from e.g. philosophical, psychological, linguistic, or sociological disciplines, and fields as diverse as literary critical theory, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence also have a lot to say about it.

    So to answer your question: nobody knows for sure, but if you're interested in academic pursuits you're headed in a great direction.

    • Just don't do it!

  • Plus conversation about the inevitable calamities.

    • January is finally over!

    • David Bowie has been dead for almost a decade.

  • Lemmy from Motorhead died around the same time. I know bc my BFF died around then too.

    • Doctor tells you you have exactly 31 days left until you drop dead, what do you do?

    Jump

  • Same, except I'd skip the funeral, and on the last day I'd find a remote tree and tie myself there so I could be naturally excarnated:

    The Moriori people of the Chatham Islands placed their dead in a sitting position ... strapped to young trees in the forest. In time, the tree grew into and through the bones, making them one.

    • Cool cat

    Jump

  • Be careful, kitty! You're gonna suffocate if you get stuck there when they go outta town!
