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?

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.

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.

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.

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

I know it’s a joke and I appreciate the meaning of the original comment, but I don’t think you need to constantly challenge yourself to enjoy life. Sometimes it’s ok to sit back and enjoy what you have and what you know. Just as long as you don’t settle and forget to be open to new things that could enrich that life.

Oh this is a great one. I was once in a job, where we were introduced to a new system that was designed to count successes. The problem was, that it was a job where we worked with people and everything we did couldn’t be quantified. The new system only put value on what could be counted so 80% of our work became invisible and “worthless”. Great times.

Yeah, I mean, I’m not the most active, but I made a sublemmy (I’m still not sure about the naming convention here lol) and that’s something I never did on Reddit, because everything was usually already there in some form. I also did it to contribute, because I know that us being active actually counts for something. On Reddit I could go months without posting or commenting. So yes, I’m definitely more active and it feels like you are actually engaging with other people and not just consuming content.
