What is something you've done that you believe very few other people have done? Only one caveat: it can't be cool or jealousy-provoking. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'll start. I watched every minute of Francis Ford Coppola's "Megalopolis".

Just finished... it made me think of this topic.

I once hiked onto a mountain barefoot because of a bet with a friend, it took me 3 1/2 hours untl I have reached the summit.

I have been 'interviewed' by the Secret Service 2x in my life.

Both times because I was a young dumbass, and both times I am sure they wrote in my official file: 'harmless dumbass'.

I knew a guy from the US that was also interviewed by some 3 letter agency because his girlfriend was Russian. This was like 20 years ago.

Played the game Me And My Shadow. It's an abandonware open source 2D puzzle platformer for windows that apparently was last updated in 2021, with source package last updated 2 years prior according to the last github nightly build release. Repo was archived January of this year. Not really a cool and exciting game at all compared to other open source games like Mindustry or SuperTuxKart or SRB2.

This is a lame burn, and a crappy post. If you don't like the movie why not just say that instead of a half-assed attempt to be witty? What didn't you like about it?

[–] venotic@kbin.melroy.org 2 points 4 days ago

Yeah it's posts like these that do not offer engagement and we don't really need more of them. This isn't reddit, here, where over there people only write the headline and nothing in the body except two lines, like this one. It's annoying.

Oh com'on, really? You're coming to FFC's rescue? That's nice. Look, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pick on the poor fella, with his own movie studio and all, I know he's got it rough. I liked a lot of his other stuff, if that helps.

It's a real post, and watching that movie was:

a real thing I did that not many other people did, and
I don't think anyone will think is cool or will make them jealous.

Perfect example of the kind of thing I meant. If you don't have one, don't post. I thought I'd hear some funny things people had to say, and maybe some interesting ones as well.

I'm jealous you managed to finish it in a single sitting. I'm still not done, started and stopped three times so far.

I place is squarely in the "It insists upon itself." category of movies.

I didn't say that! I took a one-day intermission.
