A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected]

Rules: (interactive)

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 ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected]. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

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.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

My mom never registered to vote "because I don't want to be picked for jury duty!" (stupid boomer face)

[–] shyguyblue 34 points 4 months ago (1 children)

WTF?! In some states, your registered for jury duty when you get a driver's license...

[–] jordanlund 29 points 4 months ago

That's what I told her!

[–] njm1314 10 points 4 months ago

Wow so she was a bad citizen in two ways.

Jury duty wasn't fun (child abuse case), but it was one hell of an education. I'm still greatful to have had such smart fellow jurors so we could really consider everything. You get to see how the world works.

don’t pick me for jury duty because always guilty 100% idgaf

I maliciously complied with Jury Duty. I went. I sat in the room 8 hours a day for a week reading a conspicuously large copy of "Atlas Shrugged".

Weird, they didn't pick me... :)
