Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What skills did almost everybody have 50 years ago, but few people have today?

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do people pronounce ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) like it's a word?
6·2 months agoSo, you now learned that human behaviour is often silly when observed without context

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do people pronounce ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) like it's a word?
5·2 months agoBecause it is a word, or it’s easier to say, or funnier.
It’s definitely not the only case. NATO comes to mind, or GOAT, NIMBY. Yesterday I heard someone say (in a tv series episode) ‘fudney’ for FDNY
What it ‘actually’ is does not matter.
It’s ICE, as in: cold as

Dungeons and Dragons@lemmy.world•How it feels to come back to Dungeons and Dragons after 20 years.
6·2 months agoI played in a university gaming club from 1984-1989. Then nothing, but it kept popping up in my life. I just had nobody to play with anymore. Then 2016 arrived, and I did some internet searching. I found (after some false starts) a group, that I still play with every Thursday night.
Yes, for me it also feels like home.
I hope your—and mine—d&d journey keeps on giving!
This is like one of our cats
Our other cat is much better at communication – she calls for attention, then guides us to the place where she wants us to do something (open a door, fill the food cups, or give scratches)
Good question. So, perform an experiment: put an ice cube without air bubbles in a glass containing a mixture of ice and cold water. The temperature should become 0°C (just before it freezes), measure it.
Your hypothesis: ice is heavier than water, so it will sink
Execute the test several times, preferably 10 times or more. More is better.
Please share your experiment results. Interesting data to know for each test would include:
- sequence number of the test
- temperature of the mixture before and after you put the ice cube in
- method of ice cube creation
- volume of the ice cube
- volume of water/ice mixture
- depth of the water/ice mixture (should be > size of the ice cube)
- type of water used (tap, bottled, …)
- did the ice cube sink
- if no, what volume of the cube remained above the surface level
please also share your conclusion.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•People who live in the Netherlands, how is it there?
15·2 months agoMost of us Dutchies are more or less fluent in English (over 90% of the population), and yes, many will switch to English quickly, even if you start the conversation in Dutch but are not a native speaker.
German and Dutch are closely related, but most Dutch people are not fluent in German — speaking German here is usually limited to “hallo, wie geht’s?” and ordering meals or drinks.
The Netherlands is generally very LGBTQ positive, but exceptions exist.
Immigration depends on where you’re from and if you have a job here. Visiting as a tourist is easy if you are already living in Germany - just remember to bring your passport (often it’s not checked, but there are exceptions). We love friendly tourists!

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•THIS is a real test of how old you are. If you score 20 your future is short

AOL never was available in my country. Check books? I’ve never even seen someone actually using one, I think.I will never get to 20, yay!

You roll it, it drops off the table and stops 15

Insight check! I think they’re just trying to deceive us, that this actually is an attempt to LFG.
Some great mind took hours to break this password. Hours!
Spoiler: the pony survived!
Jon and Bodhi are also playing their part as Group Patrons in the official 5e (published by WotC on dmsguild) book “Minsc and Boo’s Journal of Villainy”
Including quests, stat blocks, lore, and special group perks.
Applying real world logic to game rules never works out.
Also, you forget to take into account the weapon’s mass, form, structural integrity, the commoner’s reaction time, probability to fumble, the force of the wind, and probably a few dozen other factors that have an effect in the real world.
Just don’t. It’s a game.

Programming@programming.dev•Can you suggest any online typing game for measuring the speed and accuracy of kids in real time ? It's preferable that it's in the form of graphics like video games, which the kids enjoy playing

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Sign language interpretters would probably be great at spelling bees

RPGMemes @ttrpg.network•Because of some comments I got under my last post…
91·5 months agoIf you look up the definition for an Object, it specifies that it is “a nonliving, distinct thing” — such as a corpse.
However, the definition of Creature does not say it must be living. So, a corpse is both a creature and an object.
There are even creatures that have never been living — such as constructs — and thus are also objects.




Nitpicky, but 2 out of 3 core rulebooks of the 2024 version were released in 2024, not just one.
Using year labeling of your product is generally a bad idea, imho, because it makes it appear outdated really quick.
