Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️


An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! πŸ‡΅πŸ‡­


Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

Today’s Ask PHlemmy: What is the stupidest thing you’ve heard someone say that they were 100% serious about?

in comes to health madami eh,

  • "hindi namamatay ang coronavirus kahit sa alcohol, heat, soap"
  • "coronavirus ay hindi sipon lang"(actually pde ka magkasipon lang tlga gawa ng coronavirus, I'm not talking about being asymptomatic, I'm talking about actually contracting cold due to coronavirus)
  • "tinatawag na coronavirus ang COVID-19"(bruh SARS and MERS left the chat)
  • "treating vitamins and minerals as a cure"(sinisipon ka? inom ka lemon mataas sa vitamin c yan!)
  • "Ang immune system ay nasa tiyan kaya dapat kumain ka ng kumain"(they treat lamina propria as the immune god, actually hindi tumitigil ang immune response sa tyan at dahil dito mas tone down ang immune system dito, kasi kung hindi chronic inflammation ang aabutin nito so mas mahina ang immune system sa tyan kesa sa for example sa balat pag nasugatan ka kaya nga may gut bacteria eh makakasurvive ba yon kung sobrang lakas ng immune system sa tyan)
  • "treating common cold during flu season as allergy"(flu season nga eh viruses ang talamak, hindi allergens)
  • "antibiotic for viral infection"(antivirals left the chat)
  • "mas maasim mas marami vitamin c"(this misinfo is even taught to elementary schools, 5 calamansi for making calamansi drink > 1 lemon for making lemonade)
  • "pag mataba mas malusog"(fattier the better, actually mas bad kasi fat cells are easily stimulated to produce inflammatory cytokines)
  • "underestimating immune system"(Immune system can kill you in 15 minutes if it turn against you, ebola can kill you in 6 days)

I remember a guy stating that duterte not disclosing his SALNs was a 4d chess move to force congress to make a law making filing your SALNs mandatory.

My dad once told me when I was young na pag naholdap ka raw sabihin mo "Hindi tayo talo" at guaranteed na papabayaan ka. I'm glad I was never in that situation malamang na-gripuhan ako.

Interesting road junction that I found on Google Streetview. Behind the camera (east) is Cagayan, to the left (south) is Kalinga, and to the right (north) is Apayao.

in a few hours, mawawala na rin ang boost for reddit. the official app is stupid at yun lang ung pinaka ok na alternative. it made me learn more about reddit and helped me stumble upon the RDs that became a safe haven during the pandemic. i also learned about the old legends from other subs, and that recent ph history thread only proved that there was a thriving community in that site. sad to see a lot of redditors leave (and/or limit their usage). taena kasi ni spez eh haha napasenti tuloy ng wala sa oras bwiset dhjdjd

Just found out about YouTube's plan to disable video playback for viewers who are using ad blockers.

From the article:

The company has confirmed to The Verge that it’s currently running β€œa small experiment globally that urges viewers with ad blockers enabled to allow ads on YouTube or try YouTube Premium.”

The statement comes after some people began noticing a new prompt warning that video playback could be cut off if YouTube detects repeated use of ad blocking tools. Android Authority earlier reported on those tests, which prevent viewers from watching more than three videos when an ad blocker is active.

I'm pretty much concerned about how it'd affect people who use ReVanced. With Manifest V3 crippling adblocker capabilities, Google going after entities such as Invidious and Vanced (I thinkβ€Œ ReVanced is next, if not already being attacked), I think Google's drive to make their primary business: advertising, unblockable is getting very serious.

I could probably start watching YT a lot less, do something productive with my time. At the same time, I just feel irritated enough that want to watch YT in any other way other than Google's way.

Meanwhile, in Cordon, Isabela, this sign feels ominous and threatening to me. Like are you taking me to a mysterious place that doesn't exist?

Ang mahal na ng sine ngayon, halos 400 na? Yeesh.

[–] yeontura@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Siguro kailangang bumawi sa mga lugi noong pandemya.

Pero mas mabuti na rin ito para hindi na mag-sine nang mag-isa, dahil mga bading lang daw ang gumagawa noon.

Tang-ina mo pa rin Aldrin.

Me spending PHP600+ on a Large Format or IMAX cinema:

Of course, depende sa movie kung ginawa gamit large format o IMAX camera. Kung hindi naka-IMAX o large format, panoorin na lang sa regular 2D.

And been watching movies in theater alone since 2017. Sometimes ako o 2-3 audiences sa loob. Around February this year after watching Babylon, may couple na naguusap na sana ganito palagi para walang sagabal, at tatlo lang kami nun. That movie was exhausting and exciting at the same time, three hours well spent.

Help ya girl out pls! What happens if you send an ultra long text to an Android phone? On iPhone, it gets converted to an MMS I think? Basically the first few lines are displayed then ends with β€œβ€¦β€ then you have to click on the text so it would lead to the whole message in like another page. Is that what happens to Android phones too? As far as I know hindi rin ganun kabago phone niya. Pls help kailangan ko ng closure with the knowledge na nabasa β€˜yun lahat haha

Baby, I’m yours

And I’ll be yours until the stars fall from the sky

Yours until the rivers all run dry

In other words, until I die

Nakita daw ni friend yung naka-date ko dati sa bumble. Yung physical description ni friend sa kanya was not very nice πŸ˜” now, don't be mean.

Wala naman akong naramdamang kakaiba. Okay, good for him.

I am on a journey of trying to figure out what I want to study more in the future and overcoming the slight fear of rejection na di pa naman dumadating pero anticipated ko na πŸ˜†

I've been watching diving accidents that could happen and how you can die, just to see if it will scare me away. I think I would be sadder if I don't ever try learning diving. So, tuloy tayo because knowledge is power.

My last thoughts would probably be, "Well, fuck me. I'd like to be reincarnated as a biofluorescent jellyfish in the deep sea or a villainess that's not really a villain. Or a mermaid. Hmmmm.." glob glob glob

My instance upgraded to the latest version but I'm still going to use the 3rd party app Thunder because of the simplicity.
