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 was the "dumbest" thing you were scared of as a kid?

[–] heliosef 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Probably quicksand.

I vaguely remember watching a lot of shows in the 90s that had a quicksand scene and it seemed really terrifying.

Took me growing up a little to realize that quicksand isn't something I should expect to encounter on a daily basis.

I wasn't afraid of the dark, nor was I afraid of aswangs, manananggal, etc.

No, my young dumbass was afraid of this (first 5 seconds pa lang tangina I was scared shitless (literally would cry sa first 5 seconds pa lang ng music). Never stayed to finish the intro, never even waited to find out what the hell this game was... until like I was 16 (ish).

I was really furious to find out SEVERAL YEARS LATER that this was not even remotely close to a horror game, but a fucking Mahjong game (Dragon's Eye Plus Shanghai 3). Really glad that no one really remembered from my circle of friends, or else they would have NEVER, ever let me live this shit down LMAO.

This was my #KidsAreFuckingStupid moment.

My cousin was afraid of those Chinese ornamental fortune cats that wave it's paw up and down. πŸ˜‚

As for me, I get creeps from those knee height pale dress up dolls.

Takot ako sa pulis nung bata ako. Now, I think they are just one if the dumbest, kaya nakakatakot pa din, in a way.

[–] akantha 3 points 1 year ago

Camera flash. You can take photos of me just fine without flash (or if we're outside and the flash isn't as noticeable), but as soon as it's indoors and you need flash, I'll be out.

Good morning Phlemmies.

sa mga nagpopost ng videos, baka pwede idaan sa piped or one of the invidious instances instead na youtube link. example: palitan ng yewtu.be and youtu.be sa url. would really appreciate this, nagtatry kasi ako iwasan ang youtube.

sa comments kasi, i can copy the video url and edit it after pasting sa safari. pero sa post, i cant copy the url, nago-automatic play sa youtube.

(hindi ko napapansin kapag nasa android ako because of newpipe. am trying out ios apps at the moment and unfortunately, walang newpipe equivalent)

maraming salamat.

Dahil bwisit na bwisit ako sa acting ni Rami Malek while watching Oppenheimer:

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait this dude still acts? Never thought he was a good actor from the little I saw him.

[–] decadentrebel 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Loved him in Mr. Robot. But for some reason he won an award for Bohemian Rhapsody and keeps getting projects with the same stilted one-dimensional acting. And yes, he does the same thing in Oppenheimer. First scene niya pa lang he does the face.

[–] clintoy23 4 points 1 year ago

Bradley Cooper got robbed bigtime by Rami Malek back then btw. Cooper took piano, guitar, and voice lessons for more than a year to make his own character, while Rami Malek lip synced to impersonate a vocalist that everyone already knew.

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

Manonood na lang siguro ako, may trauma pa ako from last year mula sa mga Latin American streamer/griefers smh

I got a gift from a person na tinurn down ko a few months ago. It makes me awkward kasi I don't want to receive things from them. Hindi talaga ako interesado.

Sabi ko sa friends ko, balak kong ibalik yung regalo. Ang harsh ko daw. Ang bad daw ng gagawin ko.

I'm like??? Dude, I turned this person gently before. I was clear and direct. Naiinis ako kasi bakit parang trabaho kong maging sensitive kahit matagal ko nang sinabing ayaw ko nga.

TIL Windows can install apps with just command prompts using winget

Ang tagal ko na gumagamit ng Windows, ngayon ko lang nalaman. lol

[–] theyawner 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's default software on Windows 10/Windows 11 22H2. I started using it once they made it available on Github a couple years back and it's pretty neat. You can upgrade your apps with just winget upgrade --all, search if an app is available on their pseudo-repository with winget search . You can also export/import a list of your installed applications if you say, want to make an easy migration from system to another.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

This is pretty neat. Probably a safer and secure way to install applications, just like I initially did with Linux Mint earlier this year.

Gen Z daw doesn't like using capitalization. Personally sumasakit ulo ko kapag lahat lowercase. Feeling ko kaya ko na mang-identify kung gen z sila base sa typings pa lang, and that's exactly why I don't engage. Yung kapatid ko lang ang tanggap ko sa ganyan, kasi wala eh, kapatid ko siya.

Especially if it's a whole ass paragraph tapos wala talagang capitalization. Parang ayaw ko na basahin yung post for that sole reason alone.

Tapos kapag nakakita ako ng pa-survey or formal-ish document / interaction or whatnot and may pa-cute emojis na biglang naka-singit. Napapa da fuq is that ako. Tanggalin mo nga yan. I'm all for cute emojis tho, paki-lugar lang lol.

Is it a petty pet peeve? Maybe. Siguro tumatanda na nga ako. sigh

[–] Periwinkledot 3 points 1 year ago

I also used to do that ages ago, nagpapa-cute lang haha

Nagulat ako na gusto panoodin ng partner ko. Wala ako interest but it can be a fun watch I suppose.

[–] decadentrebel 3 points 1 year ago

I didn't care much for it myself, but it's made by Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach (writer for most of Wes Anderson's films) so I'm curious to see the output.

[–] monknonoke 4 points 1 year ago

First time rollerskating. Nag faceplant ako sa umpisa pero di naman ganun kalala, ok pa ang mukha ko. I think na-gets ko siya after 3 hours of trying.

I am very sore tho, spent like 6 hours there. Before that naka 2 hour walk pa ako due to circumstances πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈI'm sure it going to be worse tomorrow 😩 may lakad pa naman ako.

It's a good workout/hobby if I'm not going outdoors, and I'd say affordable yung rates. I shall add this to the list of things I can do when I can't afford to beach or anything lol.

Feeling ko lang naman lumalaki yung hita at pwet ko or something. It might be a good thing or not but in terms of vanity actually gusto ko siya lumiit 😭 baka feeling lang naman hahaha. I'm so tired πŸ’€

Bakit ang laki ng thumbnail ng youtube? Kahapon hindi ganito. Ganon ba sila ka desperado na makuha ang iyong attention? May alam ba kayo kung anong extension sa firefox para tanggalin ang shorts?

edit* Nahanap ko na https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-shorts-block/

What's with Filipinos (non-government employees, ordinaries) not accepting digital driver's license as valid ID? Nakakapanlumo na kahit gaano ko pinaliwanag nang mas hindi komplikado o digestable na paliwanag, plastic talaga ang orihinal. Kasama na rito ang ePhilID. Paano kaya nila malalaman kung orihinal at galing mismo sa ahensiya ang plastic IDs?

Kakapesbok niyo yan, wala na kayong makukuhang matino.

By the way, I'm using Catima to store all my loyalty cards, bank and e-wallet's QRPH, and digital IDs.
