Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What would you personally consider a "shitpost"?
9·4 days agoSomething deliberately unserious.
Even if OP is trying to piss off someone or make a statement of some sort, done is a way that’s some combination of hyperbole, satire, and polemic. But the point is that it’s unserious.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•(This is a really stupid question) How do you know that you are not stuck in a time loop unable to wake up?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you respond to "hey, how are you" when you feel like garbage?
14·6 days ago“Eh, been better.”
I feel like that response is real without oversharing, and invites someone to respond however they want. If they care, they can ask what’s up, or they can just say, “aw bummer man, hope it gets better for you,” or whatever.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Parents, if your teen/young-adult child is making songs/poems that have negative verses/lyrics, would it seem like just artistic expression, or would you think they're suicidal?
3·6 days agoAh, I see you’re back for your periodic dose of Your-Mom-Is-Full-Of-Shit.
Reminds me of my own mom. When I was younger and started writing my own stuff, she’d similarly complain that what I wrote was too negative. So I demanded she supply me with a topic she’d approve of, and she came back with - and I’m seriously not making this up - “Making children happy at Christmas!”
Yeah, I never wrote that song.
You do you bro. Write whatever dark shit is in you to write. I don’t have to tell you why it’s a good thing - you already innately know why. Don’t show it to your mom because she doesn’t get it and stop pretending she will.
I’m the kind of acidic fuck who’d say something like, “Mom, you know why I’m so negative? Because it was your job to raise me as a positive kid and you failed. And it’s a failure you’ll never be able to atone for.”

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you think about using LLM to help understand complex non-fictional books? Like philosophy, sociology and psychology?
3·6 days agoWhat people are trying to warn you about here is the danger of relying too much on an external source to feed you understanding of a thing without showing you how to come to that understanding in your own.
Consider the “teach a man to fish,” analogy. You use an LLM to spoon-feed you the meaning of a book, well, okay, you now have a greater understanding of that book. The LLM did not teach you how to better understand books in general. That’s going to take much more intellectual effort, which is better done talking to other people with expertise in analyzing literature, and trust me, it’s worth that effort.
This is what people are getting at when they use terms like “outsourcing your thinking.” We owe it to ourselves to resist that temptation to take the path of least intellectual resistance.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•For those of you with a living room or multiple rooms; do you have a TV in your bedroom? Why or why not?
1·7 days agoI have a cheap tv in my bedroom but I hardly ever use it. Anything I want to watch I would rather use my main TV in the living room, and even that’s rare these days. I pretty much only put on the bedroom tv when I’m folding clothes.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you carry in your pockets or with you daily?
6·8 days agoThe unrelenting dread and fear of something horrifying and terrible happening to the ones I love.
The lingering resentment and intense loathing towards an ex spouse who abused me daily for almost 15 years.
Dead Tamagotchi from 1998 to remind myself of my failures as a caregiver.
The ever-evolving concept for a music album that perfectly encapsulates my life experiences, from the good to the awful, and what they’ve taught me about myself.

Still relevant.
Edit: Posting a runner-up, The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner by Randall Jarrell
From my mother’s sleep I fell into the State,
And I hunched in its belly till my wet fur froze.
Six miles from earth, loosed from its dream of life,
I woke to black flak and the nightmare fighters.
When I died they washed me out of the turret with a hose.


Just pour it over the engine. Make sure you give it a good thorough coat. It’ll work its way in.
