I find it so frustrating you’re being downvoted for a sane opinion.

I want Lemmy to succeed, but the userbase can be so mean :(

It’s just a tv show. I went to watch parties for Legend of Korra, anime, movies, and board game nights.

I’m not sure there’s much more to get

A watch party for people that like the television show and fandom surrounding My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

My wife and I are huge nerds

I met her at my university’s Brony club. I sat next to her because she had a sketchbook open. I brought out my own sketchbook and struck up a conversation.

We had a two-year courtship and have been married for 6 years now.

You know how hand sanitizer kills 99.7% of germs?

The current strain of tumblr user that survived the porn ban leans more aromantic/asexual. With less competition this new strain has thrived, and can solely focus on its main food source: fandoms for obscure media.

The English language is missing a gender neutral term for a cow/bull.

Cows are female

Bulls are male

Steers are castrated bulls

Cattle - the term for multiple cows and/or bulls and/or steers

It’s odd because every other animal with gendered language has a gender neutral term. Take chicken for example.

Hens are female

Roosters (or Cocks) are male

Capons are castrated roosters

It’s so nice to have a word like chicken to describe all these animals. But no word for that exists for cow/bull in English.

The writer of the tumblr post above either didn’t know the right word to use would be “Bull,” or the writer wanted to make sure they were understood so used the word Cow. Which… linguistically at this point may have become the gender neutral term for this animal because people need one.

Cow is such a common word, and bull is so uncommon that to be understood by everyone, cow might just be the best word.

Though anyone with knowledge of animal husbandry would be baffled because by the strict definition cows are always female.

I’m sorry you had to learn this nightmare language.

Yeeeeesssss!!!

This is up there with Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear for chillest Isekai. I love me some chill isekai.

This sounds likely. I’d have to imagine at that stage of life the very concept of learning how to learn something for the first time is monumental.

What they’re learning isn’t as important as learning something for the first time. Since animals are so interesting, it sounds like a reasonable thing to start with.

I imagine it also has to do with establishing and reinforcing the concept that “things make noises and so can you”

I still don’t feel comfortable here. Lemmy feels too much like an echochamber of the same opinions. The lack of diversity makes me feel more comfortable on tumblr than Lemmy at the moment.

It’s frustrating when I do need to check Reddit for any niche things. I love forums, but find chatrooms like Discord anxiety inducing. Sometimes the only forum for a niche topic is a subreddit :/

It’d be cool if CGPGrey remade his “What is Reddit” video, but exchanged it for: “What is Lemmy”

He unlisted that video, so I don’t think he has that popular of an opinion of Reddit these days.

Celebrities like him joining would be a big help.

That space is for their thoughts to slide right off

I know “User Research” is a subset of design. But I think they hold the most important job of making sure the thing being built is actually what users want.
