  • How close have you ever been to a lightning strike, or related situation caused by a lightning strike?

    Jump

  • My grandparents were asleep when lightning struck a tree perhaps 10 feet< away just on the other side of the wall their headboard was against. I recall that there was a window next to their bed. My grandfather said he thought the house was exploding because of the way everything was illuminated. I was asleep about 20 feet away across the hall. It still feels like the loudest noise I could ever have imagined. I didn’t have a window looking directly at it but the entire house was lit up. Quite the ”shock” being aremovedn from a deep sleep with the combination of lightning & thunder. I remember how much it smelled like ozone as well.

  • If you were forced to play one professional sport as your job until you were 65, which would you pick?

    Jump

  • When you retire, you go play randomly at courses & clean up on friendly wagers. That way you can stay fluid in retirement.

  • What would be interesting to bring to a home made pizza party?

  • The Samurai optometrist provided a nice fitting pair of tortoiseshell frames. Poor little turtle didn’t feel a thing.

  • An authentic Katana sword used by a Shogun warrior for slicing pizza.

  • What's a song in a language you don't speak that still gets you dancing and yelling along hyped?

    Jump

  • Scrolled to find P’ol by Adriano Celetano. Love this song.

  • What websites do you find useful in everyday life?

    Jump

  • Pornhub. It does it for me.

  • Should sneakers with lights in the sole exist for adults?

    Jump

  • Police departments should make it part of the uniform. Because when a foot pursuit ensues, they are flashing red & blue on their own heels.

  • What's an example of something that usually goes unnoticed when done well but very noticeable when done poorly or not done at all?

    Jump

  • Bass players until a wrong note is awkwardly placed into the music.

  • What's a subject you (think) you know more about than the average Lemmy user?

    Jump

  • Marine life in the area I live ( On an Island, within a nature preserve in Puget Sound). My wife also works for the State Parks. Her office overlooks the Sound & the days it isn’t too cloudy, she can’t see Russia but she can see Canada (Vancouver Island). Have also lived in the PNW for nearly forty years.

    Also the history of pro wrestling in the Memphis Mid South territory. Grew up a die hard fan watching live in studio throughout the 70’s & 80’s before relocating to the Seattle area in the mid 80’s.

  • YSK the ELIZA effect: "extremely short exposures to a relatively simple computer program" can "induce powerful delusional thinking in quite normal people"

  • Did you hear my joke about Sodium Bromide? Na Bro.

  • An orange cat crossed my path, what divine portent have I received?

    Jump

  • No Black Cat = You good!

  • What is that one alcohol that you had a bad experience with, that you can’t even stand the smell of now?

    Jump

  • Cutty Sark Scotch.

  • Do you have any uncommon pets?

    Jump

  • We have an odd duck.

  • When did Cash for Chritianity become a thing? When even Jesus the son of god wouldn't stand for it in a church? If they preach why don't they practice from the bible?

    Jump

  • Perhaps reading comprehension isn’t your strongest attribute. I am only devout to breathing, not being late to the dinner table & Football Sundays. I believe you are devout in your commitment to misery. I think religion has been used to manipulate and control people throughout history. This was a learned concept and those that acquired the power & skills paved the way for the shit show we are experiencing in real time. I absolutely could not agree any more with that idea. I’m here to tell you that the nice peace loving hippie folks down at the Unitarian church who are NOT religious nutjobs. They use the church as a way to share and serve in the community. They are not same type of persons as the angry self aggrandizing mean spirited people over at the Megachurch spouting maga bullshit in the name JFC. That is the point I am trying to make. Hopefully I have illustrated this idea. Ima just leave this here.

  • Charlie Kirk's assassin may have been the only person to substantively change Charlie Kirk's mind on any issue

    Jump

  • In his very last act, he finally leaned towards the left on that gun issue. And he can also rest assured that his assassin was no DEI hire. I hope that is comforting to someone. I don’t really care who but I hope that it helps with things.

  • I am not gonna argue with a bot. You are correct. I am a stupid ignorant fool. You win. Are you happy now? I really hope you are. Probably a neckbeard, someone with severe mental issues (perhaps well diagnosed). When one is is severely depressed and unhappy with themselves, they act out in ways that make them feel empowered no matter how sad and bitter they truly are. What a great forum to let it all out. I am so glad that you are enlightened. Is there anything else useful and necessary that you would like to share before I claim this as a W in my book? Seems like someone has some personal issues that haven’t been dealt with. I do hope you get the help you need to overcome such angry and hostile views. I wish you the best and hope you can see that I am a pariah because I am fool enough to believe in grace, hope & even redemption. I don’t support any religion at all. In fact, I am a devout Daoist. It is one of the most woo woo schools of thought out there. It was the Hippieish esoteric anti belief against Confuscius. Somewhat similar but coming from waaay different places. Anyhow, good luck with everything.

  • I don’t identify as Christian. I didn’t make up a sub category. If one does their research, one can understand how the merging of evangelical Christianity and the republican party has been fusing tighter & tighter together for over 50 years. Christian nationalism grew exponentially under Reagan in the 80’s. Unfortunately many of the non evangelical/ nationalist christians are too afraid to separate the wheat from the chaff when it comes to theological differences. I believe blanket statements about something as complex as religion as in the previous comment are indicators of a well groomed ignorant public. Wait a second. It’s a bot. Whatever.

  • What are some small inconstancies in your body that makes you unique?

    Jump

  • I am relieved to know that I am not alone. That said, I need to complain about that old surgery from many years ago. I gotta say, despite all the hazards, the team of surgeons in ‘87 did some absolute bang up job & perhaps several miracles upon moi, yours truly. For this, I am forever grateful and always consider myself quite blessed to be walking slowly but with everyone.
