Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES (updated 01/22/25)

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
  4. Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
  5. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
  6. Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

If you really have time, find a research project on Zooniverse and help out.

Good luck! Hope you get better soon. Have a blurry photo of a cat for companionship. Cat

Maybe that worked. I'm not so good with uploading in comments.

[–] strawberry@kbin.earth 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

tell the kitty I said hi please

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

She did the slow squish eye blink, so pretty sure she is happy with the hello!

[–] strawberry@kbin.earth 6 points 1 week ago

best thing to happen to me all day

[–] toomanypancakes@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If you've already done the daily wordle you could try sedecordle. It's sixteen wordles at once!

[–] strawberry@kbin.earth 5 points 1 week ago

I forgot those existed

[–] GiantChickDicks@beehaw.org 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is your bum going to be salvageable?

[–] strawberry@kbin.earth 5 points 1 week ago

I was so confused, I forgot what I said I was in for

yeah, it'll be alright I think

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You can download a stop animation app to your phone and then make a little movie with whatever you have on you hospital table.

You're welcome.

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 4 points 1 week ago

Play balatro

Or stardew valley

Thank me later

[–] callouscomic@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is what Steam Deck is for.

[–] strawberry@kbin.earth 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

not everyone has $500 to drop on a game console

[–] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

You mentioned having your phone in a another comment, so I'll suggest you look into emulation. SNES and Gameboy (various generations) work pretty well if you can get used to not having physical buttons.

  1. So, um, how’s it going?
  2. What would you normally be doing right now?
  3. What hobbies do you have?
  4. How long are you going to be the hospital?
  5. Any cute nurses you can throw my way?
[–] ZDL@ttrpg.network 3 points 1 week ago

Pick up a new language. A whole language in the course of a normal hospital stage is not really plausible, so narrow the goals. Like only learn how to swear in another language, say. Or learn how to say all the sexual acts you can think of in another language fluently.

[–] hyena@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Read a book!

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

There's a dailygames community.

ETA- i think there's a random Wikipedia community.

Check out the AFIs to 100 movies.

Learn a skill- duolingo or ukelele.

Lean about blackjack or craps and play online for free.

Build a model.

[–] vk6flab@lemmy.radio 2 points 1 week ago
  • squaredle
  • sudoku on extreme mode
  • read an article you've been putting off
  • sleep
  • learn something you're interested in
  • write a diary
  • investigate what you're going to do next
[–] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Try reading manga using kotatsu. You lose nothing, very simple to get started, should be fun

[–] Ludrol@szmer.info 2 points 1 week ago

What is your funniest story as a Tire and Lube tech?

[–] Fungah@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I once got 46 pages into an erotic STNG fan fiction thing. It's one s x scene away from being done. I've been told it's very hot, and that is very confusing. It also features brief interludes with a panel hosted by Canadian hockey legend Don Cherry, Mario Lopez, and Kristen Whig for some reason.

I can send it to you and you can finish it for me.

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

What was your dream job as a kid?

What is it now? (Assuming you are not a kid)

[–] strawberry@kbin.earth 3 points 1 week ago

i wanted to be am astronaut, then train conductor, or maybe the other way around

now I'm a tire and lube tech

super happy, making more money than ever, doing stuff I (mostly) enjoy

[–] Zentron@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You could always do some math equasions , i love doing some for fun from time to time .. good for the brain excercise too

[–] Vex_Detrause@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Where do you get math equations? I used to love doing algebra but I haven't in decades

[–] Zentron@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

I got a few old textbooks from highschool that are 300+ pages of math stuff , but i think you could find some good ones around the internet

[–] ZDL@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Pick up a solo RPG and start playing when you get bored.

[–] strawberry@kbin.earth 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

reccomendations? mobile only

[–] ZDL@ttrpg.network 0 points 1 week ago

No, I meant real RPGs, not the computerized abominations. Pencil, paper, optionally a randomizer, and imagination.

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee -2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Do you have access to any games?

[–] strawberry@kbin.earth 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)
