A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected]. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Being dropped 500 years ago into your ancestors' community.
Being dropped 500 years into the future in your community.

You have a day to source some clothing appropriate to the time period. Unfortunately, that's not enough time to learn a dialect.

I wouldn't make it with the Vikings man. I wouldn't be outed as a time traveler but I would die

Is this like that "the 90s were 10 years ago" effect? The viking age was 1,000 years ago. More, really.

500 years ago the world had been circumnavigated

Oh fuck me I didn't process the 500 year mark when writing this. In that case I'd probably just starve
