I wanted to represent science, math and engineering with those.

Couldn’t nicely put pngs with transparent backgrounds in there for these two, so they both got white backgrounds and put next to each other.

Don’t know, I’ve never been to the US.
- Comment on Which one and why? 2 months ago:
I’d definitely pick 3.
First of all, if you can only eat with one spoon, you might as well pick a cool-looking one. Imagine being at a social event and people are handing out spoons to eat soup or whatever, and you’re like “no thanks, I always eat with this spoon I brought from home”. That would be kinda cringe and weird if you pick a spoon with a boring basic design. But if you pick the third one with it’s interesting demon handle, it’s gonna make you look mysterious. People are going to wonder and ask you about the story behind the spoon. Women will giggle at you and ask if you’d share the spoon with them.
Secondly, it has the most generally useful shape. Being smaller than the others can be very useful for eating from some containers. It has corners instead of being perfectly round, which allows a bit of scraping. But because the corners are rounded, you don’t have to worry about leaving scratches or carving microplastics out of plastic containers.

You can hide it in a shoebox in your attic and repost it in ten years. Reality is often mundane, but it’s up to us to turn our stories into reality ❤

That’s what niche internet communities are for. Save it, it’s all yours my friend.

Great post
- Comment on 4th dimension doesn't exist because even 1D or 2D themselves are not real. 3 months ago:
1D and 2D are just mathematical abstractions.
So are all dimensions. The number of dimensions is just an attribute of a vector space, and vector spaces are just models we humans define to describe natural phenomenona. You can claim that some of these models are more useful than others. But at no point does it make sense to claim that a model “exists” or not. There would be no meaning to such a statement, it would contain no information. Not wrong, just nonsensical.
- Comment on It's weird that we "take a shit". I don't know what other people are doing, but i definitely leave a shit, not take it 3 months ago:
I don’t know what kinds of allegations you’re trying to insinuate here. This isn’t about me anyway.
- Comment on It's weird that we "take a shit". I don't know what other people are doing, but i definitely leave a shit, not take it 3 months ago:
That’s irrelevant. But if someone leaves it, someone else will have to take it, is what I’m saying. Like in general.

So what do you think happens to all the shit you leave around? Someone’s gotta take it.

- Comment on What if memes aren't better than TikTok for your brain? 3 months ago:
The well-documented symptoms of various mental illnesses are a clear sign for needing help. Believing that psychologists, or at least those psychologists one has access to, don’t have the competence to help is no such symptom.
- Comment on What if memes aren't better than TikTok for your brain? 3 months ago:
I actually agree that they have similar effects if consumed similarly. Avoiding the mass consumption of short-form, attention-grabbing content is a great choice when you notice a decline in your ability to focus. I’ve occasionally done the same thing in my life, sometimes even cutting internet usage more radically than that, and it always created strongly noticeable improvements (or rather noticeable returns to my more natural state of mind).
That being said, I still browse lemmy memes and think it’s somewhat different from similar media for several reasons (these are broad generalizations, of course there are exceptions):
- Memes are more honest as they’re mainly aimed at making you laugh, and you can easily verify yourself whether you found them funny or not. Short-form videos will often contain stories, advice, or information, the value or danger of which you cannot verify so easily.
- At least if you’re looking in the right communities, memes are from the community members itself, not some slop by some influencer trying to get clicks at any price.
- I can browse through top of the day of my lemmy meme communities in a relatively short amount of time, get some enjoyment out of it, and then just move on with my life. I don’t think there is an equivalent platform for short videos. They want to keep you scrolling endlessly.
