  • Did they ban a sub related to it, or more of the same bullshit by reckoning removing mods?

    What's your hidden talent?
  • Only a double handful of people have ever heard it (and known it was me), but I do a passable kargyra, the deep version of tuvan throat singing. Watched Genghis Blues many years ago and tried to do it. Surprisingly, I got it after maybe ten minutes of trying. I can do the other forms as well, but not quite as reliably.

    It's strangely satisfying to do. But it's some I really only do for my own pleasure, so it's rare for me to do it when other people are around because they get all curious about it, which ends up as an interruption.

    However! I did do a song with a band where I did it on a self written verse. Local band, they do their own records and such. But I did two songs with them, that one where I did the kargyra and the chorus in metal growl, then another with just the growl.

    So, people have heard it, but don't realize that it's me. I'm credited as "background vocals" (under my real name, so I can't/don't disclose the band lol). They've sold maybe a thousand discs and downloads of that album total.

    They usually play my part as a recorded track at shows (the one with the kargyra is a highly requested track among their tiny fan base), but they did a local show a little while ago and my buddy that fronts the band called in a favor I owed him to get me to do both at the show. So I got all dressed up in black, braided my beard, did corpse paint, and wore a fucking cowl and did it!

    I hate crowds. PTSD and such. But it was almost fun okay, the performing was fun, but I was kinda shaking by the end of the night from too many people. I dunno if anyone was fooled (im kinda distinctive looking overall), but nobody has said anything if they weren't.

    What are your favorite sublemmys?
  • You don't. We live in the wonderful age of keyboard predictions where you type. Comm and community and communities both pop up as options. You'd have to take extra steps to get it any shorter.

    Unless, like anyone with sense, you just type c/ or c/s and have done with it :)

    Can we cut down the reddit died meta circlejerk, and finally start contributing news links, articles, guides and written posts to Lemmy's instances?
  • Can we cut down on the bitching about posts about reddit dying? I get it, nerds are angry. But it isn't a big deal, they have only been here three weeks. *THEY NEED TO HAVE TIME TO GRIEVE, WHICH INCLUDES META CIRCKEJERKS AND SERVE A CONSTRUCTIVE PURPOSE BY LIMITING THE BITCHING MOSTLY TO THOSE POSTS.

    What are some seemingly innocent but really BAD pet names?
  • Well, years and years ago, my neighbor had a little black-furred mutt.

    Wanna guess its name? It rhymes with bigger.

    Now, you wanna hear the hilarious part? My neighbor was African American. She named it that because, "ain't like white folk don't call black dogs that, at least she'll know to come when someone says it, and she can bite their ass."

    Miss Margaret was awesome.

    Many moons ago could either mean a long time ago or a week ago.
  • Nope, a "moon" was a single cycle of the moon through its phases, which is closest to a month out of the units we use currently.

    While you can ignore that and use the word however you want, and it's definitely possible that people have done so as a form of word play to indicate shorter units of time, it does have a usage that's been around for a least a couple hundred years in English, and way longer in other languages.

    The word month comes from moon, and in other languages, the words for month are usually also derived from their words for moon.

    In English, the way the word evolved, a it was the period of time from one "new" moon to the next.

    Many moons, as a phrase, came from a native American term that was used to express "a long, but undetermined time ago". It isn't exclusive to any specific peoples, nor only to native Americans, but the English idiom version came from a translation from a native speaker

    Trade is, however, a similar term for "a long time" that's used almost exclusively an an exaggeration, "a month of Sundays". In a literal sense, that would mean approximately 30 Sundays, obviously, which isn't even a full year, but it's almost always used to express a much longer, but unspecified, time frame.

  • I gotta be honest, that sounds like crap. It's a recipe for a race to the bottom

    And, if it isn't maintained, it might as well not exist. Trying to fuck around with it would just take the lemmy team's time away from their progress as they move forward with their intended plans.

    What from reddit do you hope to never see on lemmy?
  • I ran into offline back in the early 2ks, then in chat rooms.

    But it didn't go viral until reddit, that's for sure.
