This one, that I just started.

The commenter after me ties their shoelaces very well, and I’m jealous.

[-] actionjbone@sh.itjust.works 29 points 1 year ago

Thank you very much. It took a lot of practice to learn to do it so well.

[-] Nunya@lemdro.id 18 points 1 year ago

I initially joined this conversation to say that there would be no way for anyone to deserve such a great shoe tying complement, but after researching your abilities I must say that I stand corrected. Bravo on your fantastic ability.

Folks, he’s not kidding. They really have a knack for lacing foot apparel. I’m in awe.

Narrator: "They did."

i learned a new shoe-tying technique and try to share it with others when they’re game

[-] Extrasvhx9he@lemmy.today 8 points 1 year ago

I'm all ears. I usually just tie mine like a regular square knot

[-] metaStatic@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

do the final cross in the opposite direction and they will never accidentally come undone

I’ve used this for years but I have a pretty high rate of asymmetry. It’s still a lot quicker to just quickly fix that than do it the way I was taught so I keep doing it.

Maybe I should practice doing it symmetrically instead of assuming I will always lopside it though

Ian's Shoelace Site, baby!! I was doing granny knots for years before I found him.

[-] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago

There's actual a great, short TED talk on tying shoes and the strong form of the typical knot used.

People seemed to appreciate the conversation in this thread about balancing privacy with the realities of wedding business marketing: https://lemmy.ml/post/7435311

[-] actionjbone@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

Styleforum has plenty. For example, people congratulating each other on thrift store finds or helping each other learn about shoe care.

[-] Danterious@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

Do you have a link to a specific post that you think shows this well?

[-] actionjbone@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Not a specific post, but if you browse around there, you'll find one pretty early.

I had this one the other day, and it was even political

Not my comment history i spend a lot of time arguing with people.

I do have to say the person responding to me has an excellent taste in lemmy comments.

I'd say even arguing, so long as it's in good faith is healthy online conversation.

What makes a conversation unhealthy exactly? I'd say mostly things like

  • not arguing in good faith (common from the right wing)

  • not respecting other commenters perspectives

  • insulting others

  • calling them liars without evidence

  • tribalism and group think

  • getting unnecessarily heated

  • needing the last word

  • ganging up on people

[-] muntedcrocodile@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I have a tendancy to call people cunts. Idk why the americans get so mad abt it for me its just a common greeting.

Ur wrong and smelly.

And you're slower than a glass of molasses in the middle of a Canadian winter.

[-] z00s@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Why, OP? What do you need them for?

Actually, a lot of conversations here are quite healthy imho. Outside of meme-communities that is. Sometimes I’m on Reddit because on here there’s not really a flashlight 🔦 community. ~~People~~ comments over there used to be constructive, sometimes obviously satirical - now there’s just trolls and mean people.

Edit: made the ~ to ~~

[-] thanks_shakey_snake@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Double tilde (~~) for strikethrough, friend.

~People~ vs. ~~People~~

[-] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 2 points 1 year ago

I see posts on 'all' from a flashlight community fairly regularly on here, but I just lurk because I don't think my Lepro is up to their standards.

These are just some random threads I saved. As others have pointed out, niche communities are (usually) the least toxic. Applies to any site or chatroom.

[-] actual_patience@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !bestoflemmy@lemmy.world
