two things I feel into a rabbit hole about recently were how LSD became illegal and the Fermi paradox.

so LSD, once hailed as a powerful tool for psychological healing and spiritual exploration, became illegal largely due to political and cultural backlash. as the drug became associated with the 1960s counterculture, anti-establishment movements, and civil unrest, governments—particularly in the U.S.—moved to criminalize it more out of fear of social disruption than scientific reasoning. the backlash overshadowed promising medical research, leading to decades of prohibition.

the Fermi Paradox points out the contradiction between the high probability of alien civilizations existing in our vast universe and the complete lack of evidence or contact with them. despite billions of stars and potentially habitable planets, we haven’t seen signs of intelligent life—raising big questions like: Are we alone, or is something stopping civilizations from contacting or surviving long enough to do so?

I also never liked the twitter format of “tweets”, there’s too much going on at once and I feel overstimulated

oh yeah? well my grandma’s 212 year old great grandpa picked it up within seconds.

Debian?

Anyone see the Johnny English with the American billionaire cyber-terrorist Jason Volta as the main antagonist?

That’s how I see news coming from Washington developing on a daily basis.

We need you Rowan Atkinson.

There’s never the perfect moment, there will always be one more post, or picture, or question you need to post on either Instagram or Reddit. It felt like an addiction for me. When I deleted IG three years ago, I didn’t know what to do with my time for weeks. I started taking up old hobbies and reading books again. I never looked back.

Reddit was harder for me too, I was just getting feeds on things I was really interested in, whilst exchanging ideas with others. I like Lemmy because of it’s not as large user base - less distractions.

Anyways, welcome to the Fediverse! It’ll take some adjusting at first, but guarantee you’ll overcome it!

This is interesting actually and a good point. But surely they don’t pose a big security or privacy breach risk? I’m fairly uneducated in this field.

Thank you (: Had to see if Lemmy would be a reliable alternative - and surely enough it is!

Graphene OS and Debian - trying my best 🥹

Let’s say UK, since it was filmed there for example. I mean surely the Airbnb owners have a good case right?

Thanks, yes - this is what I was looking for. Just thinking from a Airbnb renter perspective, such a stunt would drop the value of the property + service fees such as changing the mattresses etc.
