Sarah and the Safe Word have some absolute bangers

Yeah pet licenses should definitely be a thing

Folding Ideas is my favorite channel, but since someone else already recommended that, I’ll also recommend Thomas Flight. He’s a film nerd, but its all really beautifully explained and he also puts a lot of effort into highlighting things that he likes. His video “Why do Movies Feel So Different Now” was really enlightening.

Oh hell yeah, we just finished this year’s rewatch last night

Become a politician, then sell out to a corporation

TUNIC is another game that you can only play once. I recommend it to anyone who likes elaborate puzzles

Good on ya. The whole book is like that.

Woah, 3x?

I’m not quite as bad as you, but i do not cry as often as I’d like to, joy or sad. I think I last cried when I took an edible and watched Your Name

I did! But as for estimates of people, you could probably compare total daily users in like, March to total daily users today, and that eould get you most of the way there

This is such a weird change that has happened in the last decade or so. I remember the comments on youtube videos being the absolute worst. There were definitely memes about “Youtube comment section being vile”. I think that an improvement in moderation tools, plus a switch to an engagement model (aside from all of the negatives that brought) really changed the culture of commenting on youtube.

I think this is the video that made it popular

YOUR HOME BED WAS MISSING OR OBSTRUCTED

I spent a summer in Bregenz, basically the western tip of Austria. A beautiful little town on the Bodensee (Lake Constance), with a waterfront opera house and a park that runs along the water to just chill with a döner in hand and look out on the lake. Also, there’s a skylift to ride up one of the nearby mountains and get an even better view. Definitely not one of the most exciting places, but if you ever want a chill day, you can’t do much better.

At this point there are so many bubbles, the question is which one will burst first

Very good analogy. Questioning Tom Bombadil’s role in Middle Earth is the reason Tolkien included him, in my mind at least. The reader sees him as mysterious, mystical, alien, and seemingly detached from the world around him. And we try to fit him into the rest of the world, but not everything fits into nice little boxes. Some aspects of life will always be unknowable. The same goes for history and myth, which Tom seems to be very related to.

Usually a sausage ragu and Brian Lagerstrom’s foccacia. Honestly the foccacia is the real star, I make it for every guest the first time they come over for dinner, even the 2 hour version is delicious. The dough requires a little bit of work but it’s straight forward and I’ve never had a bad result. Main course just needs to be something Italian or Italian adjacent that doesn’t need the oven, since I try to have the bread ready a few minutes before serving. Ragu’s a staple for us because you really just need five ingredients (pasta, crushed tomatoes, onion, garlic and italian sausage) and it’s mostly just sitting around waiting for things to cook, so you have time to talk to your guests.

Podcast character Taako named after tacos. Taako Tuesday references popular phrase plus podcast character

Seconding Technology Connections! That guy really puts a lot of effort into his videos

I wouldn’t be surprised if we start to see instances that are dedicated to individual subs/niche topics as things become more spread out. As the user base grows, it’s just not realistic for a handful of instances to host virtually every popular sub across all of lemmy (or all of the fediverse that’s visible from lemmy).
