A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

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.

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.

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

Your primary residence catches on fire and burns for one hour before the fire gets put out. How much do you lose? (All living beings are safe) (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

There were not enough time to get anything at all, not even your phone, keys, or wallet, you have nothing besides your clothes and any disability aids (like glasses, hearing aids, etc.). Anything that can't sustain one hour of burning will be destroyed. All living beings are safe.

Things to thing about: money, sentimental stuff, journals, books, hard drives / digital data, and all of the time and effort you spend organizing your bedroom.

I think I am paranoid enough that, with everyone safe, nothing too irreplaceable would be lost.

Things are insured and can be replaced. Photos, videos, kids art, I have trouble thinking of anything else not replaceable and these things are digitally backed up to multiple cloud services.

Would it be super annoying? For sure, but with time and effort I feel like nothing is gone forever.

Maybe my Framework laptop that I bought using freight forwarding before they cracked down and stopped us ordering more 😩
