  • Lol aw man I’m definitely getting old; I remember when Skrillex came out and kinda ruined the genre tbh, it was so totally different when it first emerged, it actually sounded like dub. So I’m not familiar with any of those guys, they were after my time.

    I think it probably depends on the listener but yeah, if I try to listen to most mid 80s hip hop, it’s so rudimentary that it’s really hard for me to a tuslly get into. Like Run DMC, or NWA. I can get into NWA but the novelty runs out quickly so I can only listen to them very rarely. But there are a lot of newer bands that I hear and say “I’ve already heard x y and z do this better” so it’s hard to get excited about new stuff too. If you are a really avid music listener I think it has to take something exceptional coming out to really get impressed by













  • Well it used to be slipknot/KoRn/Limp Bizkit etc etc, but now nu metal is cool with all the zoomers, so I’m no longer embarrassed of being a nu metal kid. It’s been pretty cool to reconnect with that stuff without fear! Tbh there are a lot of KoRn tracks that slap, and you can hear their influence in a lot of the underground metal music I listen to. The band chat pile that’s pretty popular right now cites KoRn as an influence. Limp Bizkit is still preeeeeetty fuckin bad though. I fuck with some tracks off of 3 Dollar Bill Y’all$, but so much of it is just corny as hell. System of a Down was always considered dope so they don’t count


  • I haven’t really noticed that, but I also haven’t dug into the comments too much recently. But, of course if thousands upon thousands of redditors jump onto this platform it’s going to change the culture. Maybe try beehaw.org. they are.known for blocking a ton of instances but i think it’s heavily moderated towards people being trolls.

    It’s my hope that a lot of the people who want to turn lemmy into reddit will get bored and leave since the interface isn’t as convenient as reddit



  • What exactly are you concerned about? Like are there any particular outcomes that scare you? I doubt that anything you take would make a huge, substantial, permanent change that you would notice, but again this is all just my assumption but I’ve taken reishi, kava, ginseng, all kinds of tea etc and I haven’t noticed drastic changes after my body metabolizes it


  • I signed up with beehaw first, but realized that they were defederated from lemmygrad, which I wanted access to. As I became more acquainted with lemmy and started looking into the “flavors” of the different instances, I joined lemmy.ml because they are unapologetic communists and won’t defederate with lemmygrad.

    As an aside, it’s fucking insane to me that lemmygrad is so controversial yet there’s crickets about exploding-heads and people are happy to be on instances that don’t block them. Cool


  • Dang that’s cool, I’ll have to try some! Yeah, I mean they do affect how your brain functions in the moment, similar to coffee, green tea, alcohol, etc. But it seems that there may be more long term changes, if we look at the lions mane example. Sounds like a super interesting thing to do a deep dive on, though! Idk if there is a whole lot of scientific literature on them but I like to find peer reviewed scientific articles. If you read just the abstract and the conclusion you usually are able to get the info you’re looking for
