The first frame looks like the tunnel leading to the treasure beneath a pyramid in Terraria.

What weird false belief did you have as a kid? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

I used to think that hair grew when it was watered - like a plant - and therefore showering was what allowed your hair to grow. No one ever told me that, I just assumed it to be true at a young age.

When was the last time you felt guilt about something, as in that emotional pit you noticeably feel in your stomach when you have done something wrong towards someone? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Forgot my best friend's birthday. We don't normally get each other anything, or celebrate in any way, so it slipped my mind. Felt awful and wanted to turn back time so bad.

If Reddit users are Redditors, are Lemmy users Lemurs? in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

Ah, I didn't enjoy that fall. I think I'll go for the premium fall next time.

Same here, I think I would enjoy it.

I was thinking more along the lines of getting started on my taxes etc.

Got any good open source Android games? (lemmy.world)
 

Most mobile games nowadays seem to be crap. Got any good mobile games that are open source and fun to play (for more than a few days)?

Which carbonated soft drink is the best? (lemmy.world)
 

The age old question. Coke? Pepsi? Store brand? Any other?

I'm personally a Dr Pepper guy myself.

Most "simulation" games aren't simulators (lemmy.world)
 

I was just browsing the Google Play Store and I am getting frustrated seeing games being tagged with the genre, but aren't actually simulating anything. E.g. Idle Miner/Mining Tycoon (can't remember name). Nothing in the game is accurate or even tries to represent real life. It even has cartoon graphics. Now I'm not getting mad about the games themselves, just the fact that they are being labelled as sims. Anyone else annoyed by this?

Watch history required for recommendations now on Youtube/Alternative to youtube. (lemmy.world)
 

In order to get recommendations on your homepage you need to enable your Youtube history in order for videos to be "tailored for you". This is complete BS, as recommendations were perfectly fine before, and I have never had history enabled. This is just a stunt to get people to give their personal data to google. Now I know google has always been bad but this is what really gave me the wake up call, the final straw if you will.

This has prompted me to look for an alternative, specifically an open source alternative. Unfortunately, there are no suitable candidates to my knowledge. However, there is a small, open source alternative which is federated (similarly to Lemmy) called PeerTube. I believe with enough users it could potentially become a viable alternative. Please consider reading more about it. I have not joined yet but I will research more tomorrow. Thanks for hearing me out, just wanted to spread awareness.

Leaving pointless answers/reviews on websites (lemmy.world)

I'm not sure if this is just me, but it drives me nuts when I see someone answer a question (for example in the questions section on an amazon product page) to just say that they don't know or they give an unrelated answer.

For example:

Q: Do these headphones support bluetooth and wired connections?

A: I'm not sure, but my grandson loves these!

The same goes for posts which ask a question on other sites or reviews complaining about a product, despite it doing exactly as advertised. Idk, maybe I should have posted this on unpopular opinion.
