I have 4 tv’s , all dumb. One in the bedroom , one in the living room and two on ice. I’ve got a stack of dvd / blue ray players and a region free DVD player with a 3k+ dvd collection and an antenna I made myself. Fuck all that smart TV bullshit. I’ll fix them all if I have too, the info is all available on YT like you say and the parts are cheap.

I’ve had 4 or 5 opportunities to get free OLED (or what ever trash is out now) tv’s for free and I turn them all down. People that aren’t the least bit paranoid about all these connected devices bug me out. Facebook freaks and Amazombies

I love it when someone replaces manhole covers upside down or the lines in the road painted on the cover are off kilter

Wow that is freaky. It’s hard to say what goes on in other galaxies I’m sure there are worlds like that with all the given possibilities. I read an interesting brain candy type book called “Easy Journey to Other Planets” (it was by AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada so it may be a bit far fetched for some people, I try to keep an open mind personally 😄). It explains that we are not always reborn here and there are places that are beyond anything we can comprehend.

There was a period of time when I was interested in meditation and when I could let my mind go for brief periods I saw some very bizarre, unexplainable scenes unfold. None of them made any sense at all. It would be a glimpse of some way of life where the beings were machine like and the inspiration for 1950’s automobiles and kitchen ware, all avocado green and gold chrome 🤣(I don’t know any other way to explain).

It was a harsh and unfathomable world that looked nothing like anything we would recognize

Yes, I’m sure this current stage of human evolution would be beyond the understanding of a human from 25k years ago. It’s fun to think about sometimes.

Onward to utopia 🖖

Considering the price of yarn, this is probably as big of a crocheted couch as most people could afford.

Tell me those cats didn’t have to spend more than $200 on the yarn for their couches and blankets

At least I can read . I’m just here to add to the echo chamber my friend

I had a crazy dream about 8 years ago where I was born and lived a whole life into the future to an age of ~ 27 years old if I remember. It was pretty much just more of everything. All the new shit was slick as hell, old homes still were right where they were but new high rise buildings were hundreds of stories tall filled with technology we cant wrap our heads around currently ( no teleportation or anything like that). Poverty seemed to be non existent. Everyone was wealthy but not in a monetary sense ,it seemed like civilization moved beyond that , the ego was dead on a global scale. There was apparently some sort of “miracle” that happened when I was an infant so I wasn’t amazed by it; in the same way a child born today wouldn’t be amazed by a cell phone or computer.

Way less hardship everything was really chill (there was no war or even any reason to lie ). Entertainment was more in the form of symposiums/ live performances at various types of meeting places with interaction between the speakers and the public, they were an almost daily occurrence and a large part of every day life. They were everywhere from parks , amphitheaters, behind store fronts in ally ways etc. Lots of public transportation, full carbon bikes (or who knows what material but they were feather weight and cheap, everybody had one The porn was absolutely crazy.

It was clean utopian skylines and you didn’t need to wear a paper gown with your ass hanging out if you went to the hospital because there was no need for surgery.

Anyway it was just a dream I wish I never woke up from. Were probably going to get the ashes and smoke, some “Dinosauria We” shit

I don’t understand any of that shit. Nerd

I do read hardcopys of 2600 though

Makes sense

Of course not but some may do free workshops just because they feel it may help their community.

I don’t work for free either but if my neighbor needs a new alternator or cabinet door fixed I will help/ show them how to fix it.

Well then they are idiots and I wish them the best

Ha yeah all the niche stuff isn’t here yet but with reddit really fucking shit up on the reg its going to get better.

Lemmy is just cooler. When those communities get going they will be better over here.

Because I like pit bulls and deisel VW’s. Nobody here likes them enough to post every day …or even once a month …or even once every 6 months…maybe once a year

But I’m confident they will one day ! Viva la Pit Bulls !!! Viva La Lemmy!!!

I help friends and family with minor plumbing repairs and they will tell me:

oh I had “x” company come and they did that

" well it’s all wrong "

They charged me a lot of money for that!

" why on earth would you have called them"

Because I saw their advertisement on TV. I thought they were good

" nah they’re crooks"

Dang it

Not Saucony Jazz they have no marketing no celebrity spokesperson but they are my official shoe. The cheapest most comfortable foot ware. An old school runner that gives me ( a fat man ) a jump on the pigs even in my old age

🏃‍♂️ 🚓

An old steel rod car antenna is the ultimate. All you have to do is slice the air a few times and the sound alone will keep everyone away

Alcohol < Drugs

Always found it amazing how Vegas hits those spreads dead nuts across all the games every week.it is truly an amazing feat.

The last 10 years they toss a flag then “go to new york” for the call and sometimes they just pick the flag up and say “oh it was nothing, back to our regularly scheduled programming”

We tried our best but we couldn’t stop them and they outplayed us now we’re looking forward to next week and we’re not going to focus on this loss our defense just needs to make more stops and our offense needs to put more points on the board we’ve got such a great group of guys and this loss is going to make us work harder and we’ll see if we can’t get a win next week

One thing to do is link people on reddit to lemmy. That’s how I found out about this place. Most people have no idea it exists

I personally cant watch NFL after being a lifelong fan. Seems like the games are being manipulated. Seems a little glitchy with some weird calls being made these days. Became unwatchable for me but …Go Ravens !!!
