I'm a blacksmith

I agree with both of those examples

I think it's both

When I worked in an office, the amount of people who would demand that the heating was cranked up as they were sat there in a cotton t-shirt instead of layering up.

The amount of people I know who have every light turned on in their house, the heating on all day throughout the winter, don't bother with basically insulation, don't turn things off at night, drive to places that are easily in walking distance etc.

I could keep going on forever with a list of small and basic changes such as products purchased, recycling, waste etc but I'd be here forever.

As individuals we can try, but the average population is too selfish and isn't going to stop until it's too late

Between the likes of pollution, deforestation, wars, extinction of species to name a few...the only thing that could save this planet is humanity somehow becoming infertile.

By definition, yes.

But let's be honest, you know exactly what I meant.

OP isn't wrong, it's the reason I came off social media years ago & I've been so happy since

Browsing social media gave this false illusion that people were constantly out having the time of their lives, every single day.

I just constantly felt like I had to try and do the same, that my life was boring and miserable. The reality is that I was doing and having more fun than most people based on conversation, social media was just painting a very false picture of people's day to day lives.

Shut down as in 'that's a terrible idea for the fediverse'

If it was public & randomly sorted to the fediverse Lemmy servers, I don't see how it would be an issue

I've suggested something similar before and got shur down. Just sort people into a Lemmy server either based off their interests or location

"Nationality France = Lemmy France Server"

Or

"What are your interests? Gaming = Gaming Lemmy server"

As somebody who mostly plays WoW Classic & Diablo, plus ARPG like PoE and Grim Dawn - would I likely run into issues?

I've always wanted to try switching, though I would like to wait for HDR. I know that I could partition the OS, but tbh I just want to keep it simple with one OS

Yup, he's craving attention

I think the issue is that there's choice. People want the simplest, most streamlined route.

If there was one signup that in the background picked your Lemmy World based on signup questions (IE location and Subs you are interested in), plus a main app to go with it, then it would be more tempting.

Also, Lemmy also looks identical to Reddit which is great for people who want to decentralise. But to the majority of users...it's just a Reddit clone with a smaller userbase. Why switch?

Keep it simple, whilst introducing something fresh

I have big hands and loved my Samsung Galaxy Flip 4 for this reason, plus it would fit comfortably in my pockets (especially when leaning/bending forwards)

Notice the past tense? Despite taking very good care of it, the hinges didn't last long. Rip

Would it though?

Firstly, the general population is stretched so financially thin that a 10 day strike is unaffordable for most

Now, ten days to bring everything to a halt sounds great. But unless it's coordinated in certain areas, then there's just a freeze on everything. Remember the COVID pandemic? Even if only certain areas strike, the situation is so bad that alot of jobs would be covered.

Secondly, do you honestly believe that the general population is selfless enough to not place any e-commerce, online services or any sort of digital product purchases within that 10 days? No.

Lastly, what happens after those 10 days? The whip comes out, there's catching up to do.

I'm the same age

I found that stone was used for weight commonly up until recent times. I've been asked in person and one form what my weight is in kg (I think maybe health insurance?)

Same with Lbs and pints, but also milk. Every standard plastic milk carton is measured in pints, usually with ml/l printed on them these days. Smallest carton? 1 pint. Most common? 4. Giant carton 6 etc

UK here - never used stone, LBs or pints as a measurement

If I was measuring bodyweight, I would use KG. Grams for anything light.

The only time I see Milk measured in pints, is bottles or cartons of standard dairy milk in supermarkets. Any other milk is litres, including dairy such as Jersey / Cream top milk
