This reminds me of Inconstant Moon by Larry Niven! Time for a reread.

[Migrated, see pinned post] Casual Conversation @lemm.ee•I think I have tinnitusEnglish
16·1 year agoMy tinnitus sounds like the insects I could hear at night when I was younger in the tropics.
I don’t live there anymore and the tinnitus feels comforting because of it. It doesn’t distress me at all.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•This is a thought experiment "Ball on a Table" for detecting whether someone has Aphantasia. What do you see when you perform this experiment?
1·1 year agoAll these details were present from only reading the title:
A very large and heavy marble that you’d need to pick up with both hands to hold. A man was already there keeping a hand on the marble, to prevent it from rolling on the wooden table. The table is simple, square and has 4 legs. I know what the marble would sound like if it were to roll, bumping over the little imperfections. This is happening indoors, but there’s some natural light coming through. The table is relatively close to the edge of a room but you can still approach the table from all sides. The room is mostly undefined besides that. The man is not too detailed, I have a vague awareness of what he is like, but more like a gestalt of him.
After reading the prompt: The man rolled the ball with a soft push. It produced the expected sound and then he stopped it again before it fell. I felt anxiety when the ball rolled, and was relieved when it was stopped. I want to put it on soft cloth so that we can stop worrying about it rolling off the table. There’s soft cloth nearby, and it’s purple felt.
I have hyperfantasia.

Technology@lemmy.world•"Would U.S. tech workers join a union?" survey average: 67% likelyEnglish
11·1 year agoFunny, seeing them at the top gave me a favorable impression of them, but seems to have caused the opposite for you. My impression was probably due to, like someone else said, feeling like maybe they’re not being drilled with as much anti-union propaganda.
But I’m from a place where you have to go out of your way not to be part of a union.

Relationship Memes@lemmyis.fun•Married people, where do you land?
9·1 year agoSo I gather this not about the hobbies themselves being attractive but about what’s attractive for a partner to have as a hobby, or even specifically a male partner? What was the question exactly?

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•I think I am socially ostrasized, what should I do?
21·1 year agoA quick test for this is, are you good at making a good first impression or short time of friendship and then it kinda falls off with time? If yes, masking is likely in play.
Can confirm. This is my entire life.

Comic Strips@lemmy.world•Aging Millennial Humor [Sarah Anderson]
33·1 year agoLucky me, I’ve never been ‘with it’.
I’m groaning so hard while feeling really happy at the same time, it hurts. Thanks.
My problem has always been that I find breathing too boring to ever manage to focus on it for any length of time.
Where I live the dog shampoo costs more than the human shampoo.
Or you mean the conditioner?
The avocados I was used to in South America were really flavorful and I ate them raw. Now I’m in Europe and they’re tiny and bland, though I still eat them raw.

Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•This Ancient Technology Is Helping Millions Stay Cool3·1 year agoI wanted to try that in my home town in the tropics but I observed that anything underground fills with water immediately and even overground structures end up suffering water damage that’s very resistant to most measures I’ve seen.
Still wondering what’s best for those kind of climates.

26·1 year agoMom did this to me also. On the same day of her radical mastectomy. I had no idea she had breast cancer.
The surgery went ok at least.
