I’ve been there, but you can definitely find hobbies that cost nothing.

Hiking/walking/running is free and good for your mental and physical health (although if you dont have appropriate footwear, I’d stick to walking).

Music production is free (if you already own a computer) with free DAWs and free plugins. This is a great way to be creative, learning music theory is also free but not super necessary

Writing is free, this can include fiction, as well as journaling. I enjoy journaling but

Software hacking is free with ghidra and x64dbg, I’ve been working through crackers, which are pieces of software written specifically to be cracked.

Programming is free and the resources to learn programming are free. If you have no experience python is super easy to jump into.

3D modelling is fun to learn and again, free. Fusion360 will give you a free license for personal use, or there are other free options. I learnt this to 3D custom designs, and your local library probably has a 3D printer to use if you want to go that route.

Your city almost certainly has a free art gallery, I love spending days at the art gallery with headphones listening to beautiful music and looking at beautiful art.

Cooking can be a fun hobby, and although not free, it’s money you were hopefully going to spend anyway, it can be fun to find new recipes and try them. And if you plan correctly and buy in bulk, you can save money this way.

Contribute to open street maps, this is free and helps the community.

Of course the more fun hobbies, and more traditional hobbies do cost money, and can get very expensive very quickly so I do understand your frustration, but finding free cheap hobbies was key to getting out of my depression and I urge you to find something, these suggestions may not be right for you but it just shows there are options

No and no

there are many apps that will let you do this. I use an app called IP Webcam

The guy gave you a very valid answer. You asked what people do when the Internet goes out, not how they access passwords. No need to be rude

Amazon. Fuck Amazon.

Because you’ve purchased the movies ya dingus

That’s why I hate money and the setup of the world, is plain satanic if you ask me.

Don’t drag satan into this, the world is overwhelmingly more christian than satanic.

There’s a pretty distinct difference between eating eggs, and egg being an ingredient

you have great taste don’t let anyone tell you otherwise

I’ve never understood exactly what people get out of Twitter, and don’t understand why you’d need an alternative? Why not just use Lemmy as your alternative?

Check 1337

Why would I use other platforms?

“pretty small”, it’s like 2 Canada’s.

It definitely is a good choice for some people, I wouldn’t give my mother in law an Android device.

But the iphone as a platform is inferior because it can do less (although Android is definitely headed in a similar direction)

You know those Irwin quick clamps that are very popular, blue and yellow quick release clamps. I have a bunch of them and they’re fine.

I also have a bunch of “craftright” clamps. Same thing, but the clamping force feels so much higher, the Irwin clamps are what I use if I’ve run out of my cheap knockoff clamps

these platforms have the know how to deal with spam and they will be incentivised to share that tech with other federated instances.

Based on what? These private companies aren’t going to share anything because they owe it to their shareholders not to.

I dont think any of your points are wrong, it’s just the association with Facebook people are anti. The fediverse has a great reputation for being completely removed from profit motive driven mega corporations. Facebook joining is gonna make people question the fediverse is my understanding.

As an adult I’m only gaining more and more friends tbh. Sure some old ones are lost but a partner is no replacement for a few good friendship circles. If you’re putting all your social needs on one person, that’s a lot of pressure and they are unlikely to be able to fulfill that role, nor are you for them.

Your partner can be your best friend, but they shouldn’t be your only friend

There was the guy that wanted to know how to go 3 days without pooping

Maybe an unpopular opinion but having a name for a Lemmy user is cringe.

What are you gonna ask someone at a party if they’re a lemming? They’re gonna look at you like wtf are you talking about.

It has big “the narwhal bacons at midnight” vibes.

Unpopular opinion, but having a name for someone who uses Lemmy is pretty cringe. under what context could you possibly use it and not sound like an idiot? At a party are you asking someone if they are a lemming/lemmon? They’re gonna look at you like wtf are you talking about.
