Subreddits you are going to miss?

I'm also going to miss r/leopardsatemyface. And my guilty pleasure was lurking on r/shitmomsgroupssay. There was some petty crap there but some real doozies too

After the blackout...
I haven't deleted my reddit account and I'm not sure if I'm going to, but I do not plan on going back or logging back in. Many times I've googled some obscure thing and the only solution to my problem was a 10 year old reddit post. With everyone deleting their accounts all those posts will change to [deleted] and I think that's sad. I've never posted anything that I think would help anyone, but I'm torn between letting my account stay up in the spirit of that and deleting it because fuck reddit.

Subreddits you are going to miss?
I liked r/whatisthis and the other subs for identifying objects and places. I rarely knew what anything was and never posted, but I learned a lot about random items!

Would you rather win the lottery or live twice as long?
Living longer would be cool, but I live in the US with no social net, so in reality it would mean I just get to work and scrounge to pay my rent and try to eat and pray I don't get sick for 150 years until I die instead of working 75 years til I die. I'll take the lottery. Quality over quantity I guess.

Would you rather have the power of flight or invisibility?
Invisibility would be fun. All those times I've wished to be a fly on the wall...
But I think I'd choose flight. To soar like a bird and look down on my problems? Sounds like fun! And what a way to beat the traffic on the commute!

I'm still sort of confused myself, but I think (someone please confirm or deny) a good non internet metaphor would be like a neighborhood or a small town. You move into Smallville, and you live, work, and shop there and become friends with a lot of the people there. That's lemmy.world. It's where you live. But there's nothing stopping you from getting on a bus or in your car and going and visiting TinyTown and shopping or visiting the residents there (ie, interacting with other instances), and they can come to Smallville and interact with you. Beehaw is like Grumpytown, they decided they didn't want to deal with certain people, so they built a wall around their town and blew up the bridges so no one can come visit and also their residents can't get out.

I signed up for lemmy.world because I don't want to write an essay. Shout out to the lazy people.

I have a Beehaw account and an account here (I know I know, sorry, but I like having 2 accounts to keep certain things separate). I think I wrote like 2 sentences and got accepted in 5 minutes.

Yeah no, I'm ethical. I don't interact with myself online, just use to it try to stay anonymous if I use one account to sometimes share more personal things.

What's a common activity other people like that you've no interest in?
Watching television, going to bars, going to parties, sporting events, concerts.
Pretty much anywhere that is loud and crowded is not my thing.
