What's a short, snappy way of explaining why feminism is important?
  • Because women/girls deserve equal rights, opportunities, and representation. We are 50% of the population but men are so often considered the default human and in many positions are taken more seriously than women, even if the women are far more qualified

  • Music Monday - what have you been listening to?
  • Keith Thompson - Not Enough Loving (Smack Dub Mix) I recognize a sample that was used in Ecco The Dolphin music! (or sounds very close to it, I hear it at 0:39...) Love the vocals and the 1980's-esque sound starting at 1:53

  • Which programs and apps do you avoid updating?
  • Paint Tool Sai. I'm still using the 1.1.0 version that released in 2008 and I have no intention of updating to Sai 2

  • What's your favourite late night snack?
  • Probably gonna sound boring but cornflakes and rice krispies!

  • What's your favourite late night snack?
  • I had a dream about hot sauce last night and now you've put a new craving into my head LMAO

  • More of an informal poll, but do you cover your mouth when you yawn when you're alone at home?
  • I do, same with coughing, it's like an automatic reflex I'll lift my arm up so I cough into my elbow!

  • What is fediverse basically ? How does it work ?
  • Hi!

    Since you're on Lemmy, I'll explain the part of the fediverse that I know best. The best way I can articulate it based on what I know is this... it's a bunch of different sites, using the same software, known as Lemmy. Each site using the Lemmy software is called an instance, and these instances are able to correspond in a way that is pretty seamless as if it's all one big site! Although you never actually leave your native instance, it doesn't feel that way because when you post to an instance that isn't your native one, it's like sending a request to that instance to push your post forward. In no time, your post appears on the remote instance!

    One of the best things about this is each instance is independently operated, so you don't have to worry about a rogue admin making unfavourable changes. For instance (hehe) I'm on the lemm.ee instance, but I'm posting to Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world via this page! lemm.ee/post/62441272

  • If the Guiness book of work records was started from scratch, what record do you think you could set?
  • Fastest time to get over a cold. Colds for me only last a few days and I recently got over one in 4. The person I caught it from still has congestion and a cough

  • What's something people use the internet for that can be done just as easily offline?
  • For me it's ordering takeout. I never order takeout online, I always call up the place with my phone πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ much easier to customize an order this way too

  • What's your most unusual achievement?
  • I beat Pikmin 1 in 7 in-game days, which is very close to the fastest it can be beaten at 6

  • What's the best part of your life right now?
  • My condolences to your friend and those affected. Motorcycles (along with helicopters) honestly freak me out which is why I'd avoid riding on either

  • AI will never be able to write like me.
  • "Piss on carpet" will now be my catchphrase whenever I leave a room.

  • Creative Wednesday... how have you been creative this week?
  • Aw thanks so much again! That really means a lot to me! ❀️

    I recently got over a cold and I had a headache so I was just doodling to try and take my mind off of it, then I had in my head this idea of something that was like halfway between a pegasus and a biblically accurate angel and just had to draw it because I really vibed with the idea! I finished the sketch, then I thought "hey, I saw lots of low poly art on Tumblr the other day, so why don't I try it?" and that's how it got here!

  • What are your favorite summer nail styles?
  • Pretty much anything green or turquoise and tropical! Example:

  • Creative Wednesday... how have you been creative this week?
  • Making a low poly PS1-style 3D model of a peculiar biblically accurate angel friend!

    Currently the amount of tris is around 800 excluding the signature, I aim to keep it below 1000 and this is my first time making anything low poly, so bear with me! πŸ˜… I had a lot of fun with the alpha textures. The legs look a little weird because I've yet to properly texture those

  • What's a personal "Damned if you do damned if you don't"?
  • Contrast. As in, the balance of values in my drawings. My eyes seem to be simultaneously contrast-sensitive and quick to desensitize if I keep looking at the picture, so I end up in this weird state of feeling like a picture has either got too much contrast or too little...

  • If you could have dinner with any celebrity, who would it be?
  • Keanu Reeves seems like such a nice guy! I haven't heard a single bad thing about him!

  • What games have you played lately?

    I'm playing San Andreas: Definitive Edition, it's actually my very first exposure to GTA San Andreas and I'm enjoying it a lot so far! πŸ˜ƒ What games have you been playing lately?

    Are there any other artists here? What are your favourite pieces of art that you've made? πŸ˜ƒ

    Hi! I've been looking to discover new artists a lot lately, which inspired this thread! I think every artist has at least a few pieces that are their favourite. I'll go with some of mine!

    No AI is used in my process, progress pics are here!

    Also, are there any pieces of art that you initially weren't a big fan of when you finished them, but later warmed up to them?

    Does anyone else just absolutely love flying? Which countries/locations are at the top of your list?

    One of my goals for this year is to fly more, and fly further. I've got Mauritius, Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea at the top of my list.

    I know some people find airports to be stressful or a chore, but there's something about just sitting in an airport cafe in the early hours of a sunny morning that gives this vibe I can't really articulate. I just love it. I'm still like a little kid whenever the plane is taking off, and even in cruise I just can't get over the fact that we're travelling in a metal tube so high above the Earth at incredible speeds, and we could be on the other side of the world in less than a day! Getting a window seat is a must!

    It makes me feel really proud to live in an era where it's possible for us to fly to one continent to the next within hours...

    What are your earworms?

    Earworm - the experience of a song stuck in the brain. I find myself getting earworms so often haha. My latest one is this song, I Want To Be In Fabric by Todd Edwards, particularly the part starting at 2:28. Gives me massive Freezepop vibes omg!

    What are some songs that have been stuck in your head lately that you'd like to share? πŸ˜ƒ

    Made a quickie 3D model of Pucky from the Hartford Whalers hockey team!

    > > > It's a quickie, but I think it turned out cute! My friend recently got a Hartford Whalers jersey and when I saw this little friend I couldn't help but make him into a little 3D model! I hope you all enjoy!

    What's something you enjoy eating that other people think is super weird?

    I don't think I've made a post on here about food, so here goes! πŸ˜ƒ

    I'll go first...I just love eating uncooked pasta. It has such a satisfying crunch and the tomato pasta and wholewheat pasta are my faves! This has been a habit that I've had ever since I've had teeth and people are always surprised that I haven't damaged my teeth doing this. I enjoy pasta cooked too!

    Am I the only one who finds it frustrating how sites seem to be prioritizing mobile users over PC users?

    I tried looking at the reviews for a monitor, and when I clicked "see more reviews" I got redirected to a page asking me to login and to provide my mobile phone number (which I didn't do for privacy reasons).

    On Instagram I was confused at everyone else mentioning Instagram stories because I only have the option of uploading pictures and videos. Then I found out that it's something you can only do if you use Instagram on a phone... I swear I've came across a few sites that wouldn't even let you sign up if you were using a PC

    I only ever browse social media on a PC and that's the way it will always be. Sometimes I can't help but feel like desktop/computer users are becoming an afterthought. Anyone else have similar feelings? 🫠

    I like angels, fish, and pasta, so I combined all three for this drawing to make this fishy friend!

    I've been experimenting lately with combining my older style (which was heavily inspired by Rayman 1's character art) with my newer one, so while it is still an airbrushy style it's not TOO airbrushy, and it's a little messier. I had an absolute blast drawing this one, though I did start to get a little hungry while I was painting the tomato sauce!

    Progress pictures and full resolution drawing are here!

    Are there any words that you pronounce in a way that seems weird to most people?

    I've always pronounced the word "Southern" to rhyme with howthurn. I know most people say it like "suthurn" instead. I didn't realize that the way I pronounce it is considered weird until recently!

    Timelapse of me drawing my goofy lil character (link to timelapse in description!)

    Timelapse is HERE!

    I felt like drawing something quick for a personal keychain charm and recording it. So I did! She says as she laughs in sleep-deprived brain

    Drew a celebration thingy featuring my slobbering biblically accurate angel character Goodie!

    Celebration card thingy I doodled up for another site. I really do enjoy drawing teeth and mouths way too much haha. Felt a little refreshing to draw in this lined style again since I love using different line thickness. I hope you all enjoy! πŸ˜ƒ

    I drew my biblically accurate angel character Goodie eating an unrealistically giant burger! πŸ”

    *No AI is used in my process. Progress pictures and the Paint Tool SAI file associated with this drawing are here!

    After a nearly unanimous verdict on Tumblr, I've decided to give the grown-up form of Goodie tattoos! I had a lot of fun with this drawing. Even though the burger kind of makes him look kinda small. The lore accurate sizing I have for him is that he's around 2.2 meters (7.2 feet) in length with his head alone making up half of that length. So the burger is actually massive! But that's angel magic for you eh?

    I've been playing Super Mario Sunshine a lot lately, and it also made me want to draw something bright and colourful. I surprise myself sometimes with how much whatever game I'm currently invested with at the time can influence my style haha. I hope you all enjoy! πŸ˜ƒ
