HEY @[email protected] IS JUST HOLDING HIS WEENER

Snail Wigs [Heathcliff] in c/comicstrips

This is so stupid and pointless (as a heathcliff comic at least) that I go from hating all the way back around to loving it

Patient gamers, what is your favorite Prince of Persia game and why? in c/[email protected]

The rewind mechanic was great! I like that it made it kind of “easier”, but only as much as you wanted to use it. I also love the framing mechanic of it being a story. Like if you miss a jump and die… “wait, that’s not what happened”

Doing my first oil-pulling today (swishing coconut oil in my mouth for 15 minutes to gradually whiten them), any tips? in c/asklemmy

I’m sorry. I know US healthcare sucks. However, your best bet for healthy teeth is to brush and floss regularly, not to use unscientific home remedies.

What is the smallest city in your country that everyone can still instantly recognise the name of? What is it famous for? in c/[email protected]

It was popular, but I think most folks who played it remember dying of dysentery, not the cities 😆

I’m in the US and I can’t say I’d heard of Oregon City before this post…

Whats a slappin' or "bitchin!'" song to listen to whilst high? in c/asklemmy

[–] fjordbasa 4 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I love Acid Rain so much! Not that I don’t like other stuff by Lorn, but I wish I could find other music like that song in particular. The closest I’ve found is amphetamine by mnqn

I’m aware of that, I just wanted to share where he got some of the imagery!

There are a significant amount of questions here that do not follow the criteria in the sidebar, especially “1. Open-ended question” and “5. An actual topic of discussion”. It seems some folks want others to do research for them, or to troubleshoot some random issue.

This bugs me. Of course, I can ignore and/or downvote those posts, and I do. However, I’m wondering if anyone else feels the same way. I’m don’t want to stifle content and discussion on such a burgeoning platform, but could we do something about this?

Perhaps we could “tag” posts in some way (I know tags aren’t officially supported yet) or maybe we could redirect folks to a sister community for non-discussion questions. Or something else?

Just throwin’ it out there. If I’m alone in this, I’ll take my lumps and quietly sit back down.

EDIT: Already seeing good points in the replies! makes sense- probably a bit too early to be sticklers about topics.

EDIT 2: Really appreciate the responses and discussion! I appreciate the discourse and also not being downvoted to oblivion 😄

FINAL EDIT: Thanks to all who commented. It’s nice to know I’m not alone, but I do accept what most (including mods) have said- cracking down on the types of questions is not a priority when the community is still growing.
