Oh, a warhammer topic!
Warhammer - people at a local club have told me it is “heresy” to even refer to one page rules - a newish and very innovative wargame. That’s the lifestyle players of course not everyone, the people who paint 20h a week while listening to Warhammer audio books play 8hs a week and do fuck all besides that. I have met loads of cool people in the hobby too, but omg those guys
Celsius energy drinks.
I had a coworker evangelize about them so I decided to try them out. Every time I got one and tried it some complete random would come up ‘Hey! You like Celsius? Have you tried the [whatever] flavors? [Other flavor] is my favorite!’
I found them all gross.
Their sugar free energy packets that you mix in water tasted like jello so I kind of liked those. I haven’t tried the cans though.
Computer Keyboard Enthusiasts
All of them if you delve deep enough
Correct answer, pretty much any group will develop extremists after time.
Buying used panties from onlyfans sites.
To frame them… right?
Only if you’re not a fucking weirdo.
I got the panties from a Drag performance, and then I wrote them on ig asking them for a signature. I’m still procrastinating the job to make them frame in the most baroque frame I can find.
vtubers
following a certain youtuber too. i onced followed some asian youtubers, that i stopped when they msygonistically “attacked an female employee and fired her, and turned super right”. they even have these 2 loser female fans spend 24/7 patrolling thier channels gatekeeping and astroturfing the comment sections. and the rest of the fans are just as bad, it just reeks of incels for thier viewership and fangirl/groupies.
Anyone using Linux, based on 60% of the content on lemmy. Uh… maybe also lemmy.
Have you not heard of our Lord and Savior glorious Debian?
Heresy, the savior is Arch!
Burn the witch! openSUSE is the messiah.
I am not in a cult.
This is not a cult.
By the way since you never asked, can I interest you in a new way to use your computer?
How about Linux on a Thinkpad? DOUBLE CULT!
Hey now, I pirated my Thinkpad thank you very much. Needed to make sure I stuck to my third cult.
I am a puritan, I will not be satisfied until we have open source hardware, like reference RISC-V, to power
the holy wordLinux.Yes I know about MNT Reform or whatever, but the price and still some binary blobs.
Yeah MNTs are expensive but I like supporting OSHW. The rk3588 is good enough to daily drive.
I don’t know whether anyone has mentioned this – gacha games. Like cults, it forces you to pay a lot of money, but never enough to satisfy them. It always leaves you in a state of frustration. Video gaming is supposed to be a hobby, but the level of attention and resources demanded by these games are insane.

Adults going to DisneyWorld as if it was a sacred shrine
i read an article where a guy was going there almost everyday, or every chance because had nothing else to do. i think somewhere in that article mentioned that people were creeped or got suspicious because he is a man with no children at that place frequently.
Lots of people that live locally near Disneyland or Disney World have annual passes. Except for a few “blackout” dates you can go for free everyday. I can’t imagine why you would even go more than, maybe every 6 months.
When I meet a chick in an online dating way, at the first mention of Disney I’m gone. Unmatch, block, whatever’s fastest.
Adults going to Disney without kids.
those are the one’s that I was thinking about
never understood the appeal either lol
Going to Disneyland, buying that doll, having that retro console, collecting all the items in the set, buying that vintage car, getting a fat hog to crank it up with…
Its melancholic nostalgia, having the things we could never have when we were young.
having the things we could never have when we were young
This is why I went through a period of collecting multi-cultural dolls in my 20s. When I was a kid and asked my mom for a black Barbie, she got weird about it and made me feel very uncomfortable. All over wanting a doll that wasn’t white. Fuck that noise, my Barbies span the human rainbow now.
I worked at Disneyland for 8 years. I still go there every year. It’s been over 10 years and I’m still running into people I used to work with and can shoot the shit with them for an hour.
For me, there is something about that place that I took ownership of, cared for people there, and tried to make it better in the small way I could. I see all the effort that so many people have and continue to put in and really appreciate the artistry and care these people have.
It’s a place that I feel comfortable in, and I like to just sit, listen to the music and the sounds of the crowds and people watch.
Went to Disney last year. Never again. Lines are too long, you must use a phone app to get 'fast access’s to rides, but fast access is now just normal access. Standby waits are over an hour for all rides. Some rides had no standby, so no phone app, no going on that one. Oh and the phone app has limited space that I found out is usually gone 5 min after opening at 6 am or some shit.
I had to wait 2 hours for jungle cruise while watching a non stop line of fast pass people just constantly walking on.
It’s too crowded, elbow to elbow people.
Still 20.00 for a crap hamburger.
Tickets were like 380 for 2 of us.
Save your money and leave Disney for the foreign stupid tourists
We foreign stupid tourists have Disney Land Paris, thank you very much.
Still 20.00 for a crap baguette.
the florida disney is mostly visited by canadians
Hard agree on pretty much all of that.
But it’s still my friends and I get in for free, I’ve been literally thousands of times (most of them Disney paid me to be there) and I, maybe, get on one or two rides a day, if I go on any at all.
And do what they told me to do for 8 hours. In return, I got in for free.
I did have the occasional shift that was stress test a new thing so they could train. So riding an attraction that wasn’t open yet for 4 hours was pretty fun.
Yea but Disney makes money off of that passion…
its all those gifts, resorts, hotels and diners/food fees.
Sure, but a lot of those people there are my friends. You can find plenty of posts from me criticizing their management, board, and CEO. I don’t like how the company is run or many of their projects. But a lot of people there are actual friends of mine, and it’s an avenue for a lot of their art to be seen by the world.
I’m a big fan of theme parks and live entertainment. I haven’t seen anywhere that really compares with them on that front. I’m not familiar with anywhere else that does a parade multiple times a day, fireworks practically every night, a dozen small theatrical productions, a large technical fountain show, and an elaborate stage production every single day. Many with people I actually personally know running or working on them.
Disney makes money, and I agree they over charge for everything. But they also do put out a pretty good product for it. For the most part, at least. I have a lot of gripes about some of it because of the standards that I have after working there.
Oh, and I also still utilize friends that I have there to get in for free. I haven’t paid to go to a Disney park in nearly 2 decades.
There are two kinds of people who own a pressure canner - people who enjoy making preserves and fucking crazy people.
Sometimes a person is both.
The only reason I still have any normal friends is that my raspberry jam is freaking amazing. But I use that as an excuse to expound on the class war. It’s how they pay me back for the jam.
What’s the other kind?
Did you know certain pressure canners can be used as makeshift autoclaves, allowing you to make your own home brewed sterile injectable medications?
sounds dangerous
Handy information to have for when all the hospitals close in a few years.
Because who wants a back alley surgery performed by people of questionable education using non sterile medication/implements?
Good to know if I ever need to perform makeshift surgery after the inevitable collapse of society!
Me, looking into pressure canning to preserve soup
I’m in danger!!
Nostr. I think the tech is cool, but the culture seems like some sort of cryptocurrency cult
How does it compare to activityPub?
Linux
Warhammer
Crossfit
And Linux users are evangelical, too.
Ok, but have you used Linux?
I can’t stop using Linux.
My desktop computer? Linux.
My work laptop? Linux.
My phone? Linux.
My robot vacuum? Linux.
Linux. Linux. Linux.
My work laptop? Linux.
I wish
Our safe™ work laptops are bought from a company that runs Linux on them that virtualize Windows
Throw in a Linux VM running under Windows and intensify the Inception noise.
You lucky dog.
Do you have a moment to talk about our lords and saviours, Linus and RMS?
Arch Linux
Pff hater, Arch users are definitely not cultists who are obligatory to share their divine wisdom and forcibly announce that they are part of this cul… Hobby.
I use arch btw
i use arch btw
If you don’t tell people you use Arch, then they come and install Ubuntu on your PC.
If you don’t tell them, how’d they know you’re better than them? Smh
I would say NixOS might be even more cultish. I am a part of that cult.
I wouldn’t know, I’ve never met a person in real life professing to using arch BTW. I see it everywhere online though, but that might just be eight guys with a ton of sock puppet accounts for all I know.
Is arch linux even a thing, like Hanna Montana and Justin Bieber Linux is a thing?
Only to people who haven’t been inducted to the cult of gentoo
I can’t read “gentoo” without hearing the Weezer song “Getchoo” in my head.
Gentoo, uh huh. Gentoo, uh huh. Gentoo, uh huh. Gentoo, Gentoo, Gentoo… ooh hoo
Can’t spell anarchy without arch 🏴
It’s absolutely crazy to me that there are unironically people recommending Arch to newbies.
One hell of a deep end. Sometimes that’s the right choice for the right kind of person, but most people… Yeah maybe stick to something easier. If you want, mess with arch in a VM. Maybe switch down the line.
What about EndeavorOS?
Depends on the person. If it’s just someone that uses a PC for the browser and doesn’t want to learn anything something like popOS or mint would do. If they are ok with learning some Linux/Arch basics, BTRFS + EndeavorOS + KDE is hard to beat and would be my first recommendation
Unironically a neat clean system
If I knew how to get it
