A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions


Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have funDoxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].


5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.


6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online


7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.


Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

there are 8.2 billion humans on the planet, but you instantly know...

[–] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 32 points 1 week ago (2 children)

And the fact that it's not Putin says something.

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)
  1. Putin
  2. Trump
  3. Netanyahu
  4. Kim Yong Un
  5. Xi

Top 5 dictators the world should be freed of.

  1. Hun Sen
  2. Erdogan
  3. Mohammed bin Salman

Any more?

[–] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Seems like plenty of death fantasies for one person.

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sad reality of the world that we have so many evil leaders that the world would be better without.

[–] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Hoping that them dying solves the issue assumes they'll get replaced by someone less evil, which isn't always the case. Death doesn't fix the broken system that got us those leaders in the first place. It only satisfies the primitive human desire for vengeance.

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Nah it absolutely creates change. If you take a look at history when a despot dies change follows. Not always for the better but it creates an opportunity for justice and sometimes opportunity is all you need.

[–] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You say "nah" but I don't see you disagreeing with anything I said.

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I guess you're right. I might have misread your comment a bit sorry.

I showed the site to my wife. She chuckled.

And Cloudflare protection on it as well, that surprised me

Kids copying a funny idea poorly. The original version was this site that tracks whether Abe Vigoda is dead:

As long as you know that Finviz sells a story, and not the truth then that's good.

The stock market is a casino, and the house always wins

Lemmy (App). RSS otherwise. Websites suck for Daily checking

[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 3 points 1 week ago

RSS are so underrated nowadays. They're the best way to keep up with all the news and the people you follow.

I still blame Google on the demise of the RSS feeds (when they killed Google Reader).

Didn't know about this community; checking it out! Thanks :)

[–] catboy_slim@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

Be warned. It's a productivity sink. I had to block it because it was too distracting.

Depending on time of year: nhc.noaa.gov

wunderground. Can filter down to the zip code to see the weather in your area, and it’s more accurate than most other sites (looking at you Apple weather).

[–] Erusset@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 week ago

My neighbor even has a small station in the system too. Very local.

Yep, it's accessible through the UI when you're viewing a community's feed, to the right of the sort type chooser.

Hack a Day, Metafilter, used to be Boing Boing but they started a lot of advertising sadly
