A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

How are you different from the stereotypical "average person" in your country? (lemm.ee)

Feel free to define "average" how you see fit. This isn't about debating what is average person. Comparisons to the averages in your age / friend group are fine too.

I haven't posted anything to my personal social media accounts in half a decade.

Similarly, with the popularity of short form video booming, I basically don't consume any of it and instead find myself watching 1h+ video essays about some old piece of equipment from 40 years ago.

I'm a lot more left-wing than most people I talk to.

I'm tall enough to bang my head on some door frames.

What kind of old equipment videos do you watch? I found that I like old computers after watching Dave Plummer's pdp11 video's
