It's in beta but it's been out since september of last year and all I can think is WHY DIDN'T ANYBODY TELL ME THIS?

I've been using desmos for years now and always wished they had one. I'm gonna spend the evening plotting random surfaces to see what they look like.

The song (by Sabaton) came on as I was heading to work this Thursday, and I found myself tearing up. It's the first time in a few years that I heard it and it hit differently. I've got relatives and friends of friends in active duty.

Not anyone I'm in touch with, but I've met them, and I hear of them. The price of a mile is the suffering and lives of them, their friends, and so many other young men.

One of my bubbles has been burst by what's happening in Ukraine & Israel. War is no longer history, news and reports. It has become a lot more real to me, and it's something I could end up being a part of.

This feels like a rather serious topic for a community called casual conversation, but feel free to share your thoughts on this, or a "bubble bursting" moment of your own.

This is not a comprehensive list by any means, and is why I'm featuring this post and leaving it open to comments. I may update this as people make suggestions, and I encourage others to make their own variations on this list in the comments or in their respective versions of this community.

Also to clarify some terms here, by active I'm aiming for at least some commenting on recent-ish posts, not merely recent posts, and by the topic names...I'll let the linked communities serve as examples.

Hope this helps any newcomers find some different communities to join and participate in!

p.s. although it's now out of date, as some instances are no longer around (RIP Lemmy.film), this post is still a pretty useful resource for a broader range of communities than those listed here.

I just want forums to chat about current events, argue about stupid fandoms, and bicker with internet trolls. Reddit used to be that, and I had hopes for Lemmy, but everything here is choked to death by over moderation that has nothing to do with keeping healthy communities. It's just thinly veiled echo chambers that don't want to admit what their community is about.

This is coming off a ban over disagreeing with vegans calling dietary disagreements the same as racism. The dude literally said different species were similar to humans having different races. I called that 1800s slave owning theory racism if I've ever seen it lmao.

I know people dont care for internet drama, I just wanted to rant. The internet of tomorrow fucking sucks.

For people interested in discussions about movies and TV shows, !movies@lemm.ee is a dedicated community

Today marked the third time my spouse has lost their battle with the garage door opener.
We have historically been used to a smaller car. But upgrading to a new EV crossover (a year ago) has brought with it its own challenges.

The first time it happened, the lift gate was up when the door button was pressed. Minor scratch to the plastic covering the light bar.

The second time, a few months ago, a scratch in the back metal that is somewhat noticeable. They said they were tired after a long day and the washer door was open so it seemed like they needed more space and weren't thinking enough when they closed it.

The third time, tonight, they were also tired. No washer this time. Noticeable small dent in the metal panel accompanied with a scratch that went thru to the metal underneath.

I have gone ahead and finished putting up the tennis ball on a string as a guide. I started the idea after incident #2 but procrastinated on putting it up as I thought that was the end of it. I learned we needed it.

I have let them know that accidents can happen, but that they can be responsible for getting it fixed. It's ok. We just need to keep this car now until it dies.

Back in the not so distant beforetimes, I was a part of a community which occasionally hosted goofy "karaoke" nights. Basically, we'd all just use vocaroo or whatever service and upload ourselves singing whatever, or trying to pronounce words from one another's languages/dialects/accents.

I recorded a parody of Baby Got Back(yt tracker removed, re-uploaded from an archived capture) based on someone else's parody verse, the Aussies would all come in and say g'day and Mell-bern, we'd all try to speak Swedish, and it was a pretty good time.

Showing you guys that song may get me kicked out of that community, but I hope not.

If anyone here is from there by chance, tell TMW I said the anniversary of the retirement of his space helmet is coming up. I wanna say August 19.

And tell Airport I said sup.

Good morning.

I am 31 and I scrolled through the pics on facebook from ten years ago and looking at current pictures of people I have no or barely contact to these days and I gotta say I am glad I hopped off that boat a few years ago.

Most of the people I know and hang out with back then were in the "Turbojugend", kind of a fanclub of Turbonegro and all they (and I) did was get wasted to punk music. Looking back it was fun and don't regret my early 20s but I am so glad I am not that person anymore.

I still have contact to a few of them and most of them are now 35+ year olds and still drink, party the same way they(we) did ten years ago.

It seems like they are having a blast but I noticed nothing changed. They are the same people they were ten years ago. I noticed it this weekend when I decided to go out to party again and oh man it was enough. I left four hours into the party. Since I don't think the whole experience was wack. Drunk people yelling in my ear "REMEMBER BACK THEN? THOSE WERE THE YEARS" etc. some dude licking my cheeks smelling like he puked 20 minutes ago (he did) and other people yelling they got erection (song from Turbonegro).

If I look at the pictures they post every weekend I see exhausted people and emptyness. It's actually so sad.... dunno I don't want to shame them, they are enjoying their lives.

It's just crazy what alcohol does and the thing is, in this group "Turbojugend" alcohol is so normal. It's really crazy.
