Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are your tricks for falling asleep when you can't but you really need to?
6·16 hours agoThink about the fact that you have to wake up later and how much you’ll want to stay in bed
Then, remember where you are right now, and start to realize how good it feels to be in bed
No responsibilities, no distractions, no obligations, just the rest you’ve been waiting for. All time is frozen, nothing matters until tomorrow

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Doctors pull knife from man's eye that went through his brain with minimal damage
2·21 hours agoHey, if it goes well… report back and lmk exactly what angle you did it at. I’ll then make a calculated attempt to replicate your success

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK Gen Z the First Generation Less Intelligent Than MillennialsEnglish
5·2 days agoA sentiment in my fictional story that I hope reaches the hearts of my audience is that no matter who’s objectively more “smart,” more intelligent, (shown through 4th dimensional beings that demonstrate hubris and malice) ALL life has something that they can teach and something that they can learn from another, no matter what those kinds of differences are

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK Gen Z the First Generation Less Intelligent Than MillennialsEnglish
161·2 days agoYeah, the thing that we’re not focusing on is WHY Gen Z might be experiencing issues with mental health. How we can fix that
A great way to start would be not forcing them to foot the bill for the spendings of pedophiles and war criminals, while telling them that anything they do to resist it is either hateful, a crime, or both

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK Gen Z the First Generation Less Intelligent Than MillennialsEnglish
271·2 days agoYou mean the generation that was raised entirely on phones, that gets less sleep due to increased rates of depression (a known serious mental health condition that shrinks your brain), and is subjected to doomer mindsets daily is declining intellectually?? Color me shocked
Btw I’m gen Z so everything that I just said was okay

Comic Strips@lemmy.world•The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older...
41·2 days agoI regret to cite the Dalai Lama as a source of wisdom after what we now know about him, but back in high school what really resonated with me was what he said about how owning more possessions can add unnecessary responsibilities to your life that contribute to making it more stressful
Like, DGMW my materialistic ass would be devastated if I lost my collection of Nausicaa figures and Gashapon insect models, but at the same time I can recognize that I’d probably be a lot happier if I never even had to worry about having them
Additionally, the government banning something that it has no business banning just makes us less likely to hate it. The “no pomegranates” approach basically
Anything but coverage on what’s going on in Gaza, Sudan, or Congo
Very telling and insulting that this pointless bullshit is what they choose to publish, out of all things

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•NYC got me feeling like a kid in a candy store

General Grievous is more like one of those pre-1948 Zionist terrorist leaders fighting the U.S.
On the outside it looks like he’s overthrowing the corrupt institution, but really he’s working for its secret government so that he can contribute to its total compromise and make it even more corrupt
If Grievous really functioned as a meaningful freedom fighter who sought to dismantle the oppression of governments, then he’d never target the vulnerable at the advantage of the Sith
If they were slaves rather than employees who could simply quit their jobs, I’d be more willing to hear your argument

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Government-regulated wish worker VS back-alley wish quack
1·3 days ago“I wish I had a newly-discovered incurable disease that will make my quality of life harder”
“Granted, you have a new kind of arthritis that causes gold coins to grow inside your joints and fly out of you like popcorn. Your quality of life will suck and there will be constant pain indeed, but riches will be yours”

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•This is my supervillain idea. Stunning I know
1·3 days agoHis evil plan is to lock you inside a fancy dressing room and give you the FANCIEST menswear ever (so MAGICALLY, demonically fancy, that you drop your jaw from how much it changes your image)
In fact it’s so fancy, that even WOMEN and NONBINARY people immediately try it on, regardless of how they present their own genders. That’s just how powerful his haberdashery is
You will have such a hard time making up your mind picking the most dashing combination of hundreds of trousers, jackets, hats, ties, shoes and undershirts, that you’ll exhaust yourself to death until your life energy is fully depleted
By the time he’s done, his victims turn into very fashionable-looking skeletons that he can then use his magic hat to re-animate into undead gentleminions
It is a very genius plan, idk why you’re hating
Maybe the joke is that if you pretend to be able to read it by not acting confused by the weird gibberish, then anyone can tell that you can’t read
When you’re too high to even realize that the words are in that order, so you just say “Hi, I’m doing pretty good! How about you?”

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Gonna plaster this flier around town. What funny bullshit should I put in the QR code for the RSVP?

While the title is technically true, it’s incredibly misleading to people who don’t read carefully, which unfortunately makes up a huge part of the internet
We’re gonna get a bunch of dumbasses thinking that the Iran war is somehow good for the environment
