Rob T Firefly@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•You get new speakers or you start your music library from scratch. Which is the first song/album you play?English11·6 days agoProbably A Night at the Opera by Queen, which was the first album I ever bought with my own money. A ton of classic tracks, lots of tonal range, weirdass spatial effects from early-era screwing around with stereophonic production, and a hell of a good time any day of the week.
The era of remote work has presented new opportunities for many.
Rob T Firefly@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which hobby is considered a cult or has cult-like tendencies?English5·6 days agoThe best thing about badminton is saying the word “shuttlecock.”
Rob T Firefly@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which hobby is considered a cult or has cult-like tendencies?English3·6 days agoThrow in a Linux VM running under Windows and intensify the Inception noise.

The pageants are the parents’ hobby. The kids are whisked into it at a vulnerable stage of development in which they don’t have the agency to decide any of it for themselves.
Rob T Firefly@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What big budget movie had absolutely no buisness getting made?English3·6 days agoThe trouble with something like that is we already have the 90s Mario movie, and the actors’ performances (visual as well as voice) and the delightfully bonkers direction and production design are the best things about it. There’d be absolutely no benefit to throwing everything but the soundtrack out and redoing it line-by-prerecorded-line as a cartoon, when if you want a Mario cartoon which looks like the games you can more easily just make a new cartoon (which is what they did.)
Rob T Firefly@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Some reasons, not all reasons.English2·7 days agoI get it, I was swamped that day too.
Okay, I’ll get fucked for $350 or you can submit your best offer.
Rob T Firefly@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•What sort of grill needs a firmware update lolEnglish2·8 days agoFor this you could have a timer on the thing you set when you start it up and can then walk away from. You don’t need the damn net to have a clock in the appliance.
Rob T Firefly@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•My son got Nikes so he doesn't get teased.English6·8 days agoSame. The principal and vice principals at the last high school I attended were also the football coaches. Going to them about how the jocks were kicking the shit out of me for being too nerdy and queer for their tastes got me that same “just keep a lower profile” bullshit from the highest authority figures in that dump.
Rob T Firefly@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Breaking the generational barriersEnglish11·9 days agoYes, Popeye will eat his spinach and rescue her.
Because my country’s egg supply chain makes them require refrigeration.
I’ll try my best to not be venuarable, then.
Rob T Firefly@lemmy.worldto TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name@lemmy.world•[Car Talk with Martok] Jesus Christ, it's a Straight Line!English4·13 days agoRule 1 is “No bigotry,” and trying to force rules and speech limitations imposed by your own religion onto those who don’t share them seems like a pretty bigoted thing to do.
Careful, they might be those Legend of Zelda chickens that’ll mess you up real bad.
Rob T Firefly@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Morning break out of my pond for a butt and a coffeeEnglish11·14 days agoAn easy way to tell whether it’s an alligator or a crocodile is by noting whether you see it later, or in a while.
The vast majority of delivery workers in New York City use ebikes, motorbikes, or plain-ass pedal bikes. Very few NYC delivery workers want to have to find parking for a car when they can just roll a bike up onto the sidewalk.
