Electricity is this world's version of magic complete with arcane symbols and codexes only understood by wizards.

Electron

In the Standard Model of particle physics, electrons belong to the group of subatomic particles called leptons, which are believed to be fundamental or elementary particles. Electrons have the lowest mass of any charged lepton (or electrically charged particle of any type) and belong to the first-generation of fundamental particles. The second and third generation contain charged leptons, the muon and the tau, which are identical to the electron in charge, spin and interactions, but are more massive. Leptons differ from the other basic constituent of matter, the quarks, by their lack of strong interaction. All members of the lepton group are fermions because they all have half-odd integer spin; the electron has spin 1/2.

Yeah that shit is cool! I can make a super magnet out of electricity! How? Let me explain with imaginary numbers! Like what?? Electricity is cool!

I used to work for a guy who was super religious. He often said if it weren't for inheriting his father's small business he would have become a Catholic priest. I was worried being an atheist would bother him but it didn't. He actually seemed really intrigued and loved to have religious and philosophical discussions with me.

We were driving past a mosque that was letting out one day and he made a comment about how many people were attending. He said "You know, I don't believe what they believe, but I truly respect how devoted they are." I gave him a weird look. I said they believe in the same God, they believe in Adam and Eve, they believe in the 10 commandments, they believe Jesus existed and spoke the word of God, they believe all of that and I don't! He had way more beliefs in common with a Muslim than he did with me!

He said "I meant...culturally." I would come to learn when my boss brought up "culture" he was about to say something racist. He didn't care if they had similar religious, social, and political beliefs. They had a different skin colour, spoke a different language, and ate different food! They just had too many "cultural" differences to see eye to eye!

If you're into electrical engineering, the one on the right is still pretty cool

I've been on the rice, beans, pasta, and veggies diet for years. I used to brag my grocery bill was never higher than $50 a week. I now spend about $80 a week. I know that's still nothing compared to my friends and family but I'm still pissed that even the poor people food hasn't been spared by the price hike.

Lemmy has a fairly small userbase so there aren't enough users for anything remotely niche. You'll want to subscribe to the biggest movie communities you can find rather than communities specifically for horror movies.

Note that there are often different versions of the same communities on different instances. That's by design but often throws new users off. Subscribe to them all.

A scientist is studying a group of nomadic hunters when he notices there aren't any women in the group. He asks a hunter if they ever miss romantic companionship. The hunter replies "when we get lonely, we use our horses". The scientist is shocked by this at first, but as the weeks go by, his desires grow and he begins to look at the horses differently. One night, when the desire was too strong to ignore, he leaves his tent to mount one of the horses. It was awkward and difficult but he eventually manages. The next day, he tells the hunter he used one of the horses for relief, but not without a lot of difficulty. He asks if they had developed any special techniques to make things easier. The hunter says "we normally just ride them to the nearest village."

"Women be shopping!"

She definitely had some underwear go missing

Actual code!? Most of us have to settle for fixing a grammatical error in the documentation
