Ask Lemmy

Following on from https://alex.lemmy.ca/lemmy.ca/comment/16014727

In almost every scifi-action movie of the 90s, there appears an exercise machine (?) with three concentric rings, and you strap into the middle and spin around in all directions. IIRC the outside ring is immobile and upright, while the inner two move on different axes, so the user can spin any which way.

Universal Soldier, Fortress, Drive and a bunch more had it, but I don't have screenshots.

So I've posted my terrible attempt at drawing what I mean. (Either that or the logo for my new political movement.)

Anyone know what it's called?

And whatever happened to it? It's the future now, why aren't we all spinning around in every direction, in between sessions on our hoverboards and flying cars?

I've been meaning to ask this for a while. I saw a comment a month or so ago. Person said they keep their thermostat at like 65 in the winter and 78 in the summer. 78 seems fucking insane to me. That's too damn hot for inside. How do you sleep at 78 degrees?

Are they a lizard person or am I a baby?

Edit 1: I love all the comments on this! Never thought this post would create such discussion. Looking at the comments vs upvotes it honestly seems 50/50ish that 78 is hot for the indoors. Can lemmy do polls?

Posting this because I can’t really talk to my family or whatever. I have one main friend but I don’t think she cares on a deeper level so it always just feels like I’m alone. Who do you guys turn to for help? It’s always been a struggle for me, it’s like no one is really there. It feels like I’m living the same day over and over again and I’m not contempt with my own thoughts and it’s hard for me to get over it. I’m not sure if I’m just depressed and I’m so good at hiding it or I’m just so numb to everything. I forget so much of my past and it’s so hard for me to sit with myself and figure out what the fuck is wrong with me. I just lost something so good in my life because I made a big mistake and that’s also something I won’t get over. I can’t win things back and it’s sad to accept reality of things. Sorry for this depressing as post but I don’t have anyone to really talk to

You can choose a new sound or sound(s) to make when you fart. The sound can't be quieter than your fart would otherwise be. Nor can it be shorter than your fart would otherwise be.

What would be your farttone?

Some of my ideas Owen Wilson's "Wow". The scream from that one disturbed song. The entire audio of the Bee movie.
