Since I'm a vegetarian, a common question I've been asked since I was a kid was "If you were trapped on an island and the only food was meat, would you eat it?"

Or something to that effect. It's been asked dozens of times to me before and every time it's asked, the person asking acts like it's some novel thought experiment I haven't considered before.

Not only is a situation like that extremely unlikely to ever happen, but if it does, the answer isn't any more complicated than a yes/no

Another question I hate are all of those "Would you do for X sum of money? No? Then what if we upped the money? What's the minimum sum you'd do it for?"

The most common example of "repulsive thing" is usually incest. And it's just an annoying question that isn't even entertaining to answer.

On the contrary, I find it to be pretty honest about the article's contents. Clickbait implies it misrepresents the content behind it, or adds noise to it that exaggerates what the content entails.

The article itself is persuasive in nature and quite literally is intended to convince the reader to adopt some new product or service- in this case, Nobara. The author is of the opinion that the reader will benefit by switching over. The title reflects that.

“look at me, I’m using this and that and you must use it as well because everyone does and you’re missing out”

It doesn't say you "must" use some alternative. Necessity isn't implied anywhere in the title. And the fomo? Nowhere does it say everyone is using Nobara and you should adopt it so you don't miss out. The article lists and elaborates on the arguments Nathan makes, which aren't just an appeal to majority, and the title reflects that.

If you're going to throw a fit over a title of an article be honest about how persuasive the content is and what the actual article is about, then that's just childish.

The Super Mario Galaxy duology has the best overall OST in my opinion. The orchestral music is amazing for so many of the tracks.

For any individual song, however. It would be Weight of the World from Nier Automata. For context:

spoilerit's the very emotional song that plays during the credits scene of the game, after you complete all 5 of the main endings

EDIT: I want to give an honorable mention to the Ace Attorney OST, across all of their games. A lot of people may know the Pursuit - Cornered theme, but every game in that series has banger tracks. Not as widely praised, and very underrated imo, hence the honorable mention.

I just stick a single line of HTML in the address bar and use that as a text editor. It's just a giant test field taking up the page with a dark background and white text.

Useful if I just want to write text without any need to format it.

Having studied history of world leaders as a bit of a hobby, I'm more biased in that regard

But I'd go with Lester Pearson

Been listening to more of them recently, and songs like Dark Necessities have been stuck in my head lmao

Coldplay is among my favorite bands, absolutely agree there

A lot of people criticize the direction they've taken recently, and while I don't keep up with their newest releases, Viva la Vida is still one of my favorite songs. And other tracks like Paradise, Sky Full of Stars, etc. will always be fun for me to listen to as well

I didn't know Duran Duran was even disliked lmao

Been listening to Rio by DD as inspiration for a writing piece, and it's a pretty good song imo

Going through the Red Rising series, which some of my friends praise immensely. Lightbringer just came out, though I'm only just finished Morning Star, book 3/6 in the series. Going to be starting Iron Gold soon. But until them, I'm reading 1984, which I just acquired a nice hardcover copy of.

And even with the apps, you're still able to pay for premium versions, like Reddit Premium for instance Could be that despite the app costing 0 euros up front, it can't be labelled truly free because micro-transactions exist

Probably to express that a social media app that is largely unheard of managed to make it onto Austrian top 200 list when Reddit, a far more popular platform, could not.

 
 
 

I'm a huge fan of the Jerboa app, and it's the closest experience I've gotten to RiF from any of the Lemmy apps. It's been a pleasure to use despite the occasional hiccups, but one thing that I thought I could personally contribute to was the icon for the app itself. I thought I'd share them with the community, in case if anyone wanted to download them to use for themselves :)

The above Google Drive link contains the five icons featured in the post, and if you guys have any ideas, suggestions, or specific assets you want, feel free to let me know and I can add them to the folder or reply with it in a comment. Things like color changes don't take much time at all, so don't hesitate to ask for something custom!

 
 

Coincidentally enough, I saw another user make a post about cookies. Reminded me of a Reddit post I made 4 years ago that'd be fitting to share!
