Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️


An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! πŸ‡΅πŸ‡­


Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

Today’s Ask PHlemmy: What could you talk for 30 minutes about with no preparation?

[–] cottonmon 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Fallout 2 content including the restoration project mod. Alternately, why duterte was obviously the worst candidate in the 2016 elections

Lore ng Dark Souls or kwento ng relationship namin ng ex ko mga pinag gagawa namin sa buhay

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Kung paano gumawa ng sabon.

Saka kung gaano na ko kapagod sa pang araw-araw na buhay. 'Lam mo yung paubos na yung Cheez Whiz tapos pipilitin mo pa ring takpan yung buong slice ng tasty ng palaman, masabi lang na covered lahat ng spots. That's me, I'm the Cheez Whiz.

Numbers.

Just count until the 30 mins. are up.

EDIT: Since you have to talk about it pala. Talk about a number and a thing (i.e. 1 ballpen, did you know that my first panda ballpen was blue? Blue is the warmest color, but why is it warm? How do you think it is warm? Then drone on from there. NOTE: People might beat you up for wasting their 30 minutes though.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (8 children)

Hey, Vsauce here! One is the loneliest number, or is it? HAHAHAHAHAH!

Hmm, I can talk about the entire Cold War. From the Acheson-Lilienthal Plan which led to the Baruch Plan whose rejection sparked the Cold War arms race to the 1970s detente to Reagan's "MR. GORBACHEV, TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!", I can talk about it with only minor stops. Oh, isama na din yung more obscure proxy wars during the period such as the chess wars (Soviet school of chess, Karpov, Kasparov, Fischer) and yung Transfermium Wars (Dubna Institute, UCLA-Berkeley, CERN)

I was once asked, at a party, what my course is actually about. It ended up being a back-and-forth between me and the person who asked me about what my course is all about, and why it is a course that's being taught in university.

I started by drawing parallels between people's misconceptions about certain college courses (IT/Comp Sci = taga-ayos ng computer; Fine Arts = taga-drawing, magaling sa photoshop) versus what they're actually about. Then proceeded to give an overview of what my course is actually all about, as well as the different specialties within it as well as the different career choices available after graduating. I also talked about the different kinds of institutions graduates of my course might handle, and what the differences between them are. I also touched on some of the related, albeit "more esoteric," fields.

I ended up summarizing an entire 101 course in a span of around an hour.

We only realized that we've been at it for far too long when we noticed that the rest of the people at our table have already left us alone.

Late 90s to early 00s internet - I can tell you about Webdog, Dino Ignacio, EdsaMail, dial-up internet, and so on, for hours.

I can also talk about obscure cinema and make recommendations about horror and other genres you've (likely) never heard of. Obscure and indie music as well, such as post-rock and math rock. I know like a bunch of the former.

Mechanical keyboards too, but I feel like I'm less updated on switches and entry-level boards now that I don't consider myself knowledgeable on the scene as I used to.

Basketball pa pala. My in-law was surprised I was able to answer his question on who was the early 00s UP mens college coach (who's apparently a close colleague of his now) in just a second, lol.

my favorite table tennis players, and their respective styles and strengths.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I wouldn't say I'm a fan, but I've watched a few videos of Ma Lin, Waldner, and Ma Long. Nakakaaliw tignan specifically yung Ghost Serve ni Ma Lin. Was a really mind blown moment to see high level Table Tennis plays sa YT. Tabletennis is fascinating!

I don't get the Starlink hype. I mean yeah, if you're in a place that couldn't get decent internet, I can see the excitement. But if you have fiber in your area, I don't think satellite internet could hold a candle to it.

Either we have some irrational Elon Musk stans (which is sad lol) or a bad case of FOMO.

Ang weird lang na mag expect ng respect yung mga religious folks habang iniignore nila yung kawalan nila ng respeto sa human rights ng mga namarginalize dahil sa religion.

Ito ung weather na gusto mo lang sa bahay at matulog.

Also hot chocolate. Unpopular Opinion, I like Ovaltine more than Milo.

[–] bcjin 9 points 1 year ago

Milo < Ovaltine < Ricoa

[–] Periwinkledot 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Bakit unpopular opinion, mas masarap naman talaga ang Ovaltine.

[–] decadentrebel 5 points 1 year ago

They have so much faith in their product they have Ovaltinees. Milo doesn't.

Love the pixel art by Paul Sabado. Checked their IG, awesome photos as well.

Good call by the mod team to tap local artists. Unlocks a rabit hole to look at (and maybe purchase prints).

[–] Under_enrage 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

ito ang ayoko magyari kapag umuulan, basa ang mediyas sa sapatos.

Edit: Not viewable in Liftoff. Same with superscripts, lmao.

Nalingat lang ako nasa VVL na agad si Dr. Hook. Yun na ba yung entrance niya, naglalakad ng slow mo sa command center ng Camp Big Falcon? Yun pa naman inaabangan ko, lumilipad kasi siya sa anime.

She's older than Hayley Williams and Mitski but looks about the same age as Clairo or Maisie Peters. It's insane how she ages in reverse.

Edit: That video was 9 years ago, but point still remains because this is how she looks like in 2023. LOL.

Nood daw kami ng Barbie sa Baguio. First of all, why? There are perfectly good cinemas around here.

Second, I'm not really a fan of cold places unless I'm going hiking and I will just have to accept that is that. The cold will just have to seep into my bones.

Third, I don't exactly have good memories there. I do like the strawberries and food there tho.

I mean...if we were to take a detour around the haunted places there I can scrap all of those three reasons I just stated and just be like, ok, why didn't you say that earlier? Let's go.

Pero kung manonood lang talaga, sis sayang lang pamasahe in my perspective. Nag beach na lang sana uli ako πŸ–οΈ

[–] bcjin 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Another real question, why Barbie?

Yeah if movie lang di worth. Tho less traffic now since elementary and high school classes are done. As for diplomat, the surrounding area is open but you can't go inside anymore. The old haunted house is now a fine dining resto.

Emmy nominations

Grabe naman yung Succession and Last of Us. Ang daming categories na puros mga actors lang nila nandun, haha.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I would be disappointed if Emmys snubbed Better Call Saul again.

[–] decadentrebel 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Rhea Seehorn has a good shot at her category unlike Odenkirk. Outstanding Drama is stacked too, but I won't be surprised if BCS takes it (series finale and all, and a better one than Succession's).
