You don't want to embarrass yourself at the farm.
  • This sounds likely. I’d have to imagine at that stage of life the very concept of learning how to learn something for the first time is monumental.

    What they’re learning isn’t as important as learning something for the first time. Since animals are so interesting, it sounds like a reasonable thing to start with.

    I imagine it also has to do with establishing and reinforcing the concept that “things make noises and so can you”

  • Your journey with Lemmy: When and why did you join? When did you leave and come back? Are you finally settled?
  • I still don’t feel comfortable here. Lemmy feels too much like an echochamber of the same opinions. The lack of diversity makes me feel more comfortable on tumblr than Lemmy at the moment.

    It’s frustrating when I do need to check Reddit for any niche things. I love forums, but find chatrooms like Discord anxiety inducing. Sometimes the only forum for a niche topic is a subreddit :/

  • What do you think it would take for people to drop Twitter & Reddit and move to the Fediverse?
  • It’d be cool if CGPGrey remade his “What is Reddit” video, but exchanged it for: “What is Lemmy”

    He unlisted that video, so I don’t think he has that popular of an opinion of Reddit these days.

    Celebrities like him joining would be a big help.

  • Monopoly Go Devs Spent More On Marketing Than It Cost To Develop The Last Of Us 2
  • I suspect you aren’t the target audience.

    Most mobile game marketing is done with ads in other free-to-play mobile games. Unless you play those types of games regularly, you’re unlikely to come across it.

    I don’t touch any game I can’t pay for in full once and be done. So I know I’m not the target audience.

  • Secret Kindness Man
  • Is it because it’s strangers asking? And you feel you have to pretend to be “fine?”

    If so, I get that. Strangers and even acquaintances can be scary.

    I love being asked how my day is by my partner though.

  • Vaccination Dramatically Lowers Long Covid Risk
  • a single dose of the COVID vaccine reduced the likelihood of long COVID by 30 percent.

    people who’d had three doses of the COVID vaccine were 68.7 percent less likely to develop long COVID

    I’m so happy I got my fourth booster a while back.

  • Anon wants to start a journal
  • In all seriousness, yes.

    For me, my most valuable journaling has been stream-of-conscious thoughts as they come in. Good. Bad. Whatever. It all gets written down. This ain’t archival biography writing. In fact, it’s super liberating to throw out old journals sometimes. They’re all just thoughts.

    Journaling has been the single most valuable tool in my mental health journey. It’s baffling how bad a day can be when I haven’t had my morning brain dump.

  • A Psychologist Describes A New Phobia On The Rise: ‘Nomophobia’
  • As someone with an absurdly bad sense of direction, I would be unable to go anywhere without the GPS in my phone.

    I just don’t get lost anymore. Ever.

    I would absolutely panic if I was outside my house and didn’t have my phone.

  • I never learn my lesson
  • I’ve had the opposite experience. But then again I don’t really watch media without interacting and falling in love with the fandom first.

    I wouldn’t have watched Star Trek without Trekkies being awesome.
