Soda water. That I get from my tap and fizz in my Sodastream machine.

Right now, two entirely different beverage gatekeeping factions are gasping and clutching their pearls. Suck it, pearl-clutchers. Or don't, because this one's mine.

Some loud people on the internet hate it when someone drinks soda water. Others, tap water.

Pizza chefs of Lemmy, is a job as a pizza chef a physically demanding job?

Subbed!

What mundane things of our era could be seen as beautiful or admirable in the future?

For example, buildings and houses more than a hundred years old keep getting more and more rare, and often have an aesthetic that stands out, more ornate or with a particular style that most people can't afford today or that is not financially convenient etc. But back in the day, that's how things were built and most people...

My wife is a facilitator at a stamp collector club for kids. According to her, we're already at the stage where stamps are a historical artefact and some people get surprised when they're reminded that they have a purpose.

I used to hear a lot of transplants complain about my city too. Now they're only hanging on by their fingernails in our housing market, they don't.

    From my time in IT - that issue that's been really bugging you? The one you still haven't logged a ticket for? Not my job to look at it.

    Never expected to see those things together. Unless one of the activities is virus scan and password update day.

    One of my co-workers went for that whole hog. I remember him telling me there was no need to brush any more - just swirl oil around your mouth for ten minutes. I don't know if it works, but brushing only takes two minutes...

    I was with my mother when she died. If I'd been five minutes quicker, I would have been with my father when he died. In both cases it was expected. There wasn't anything particular profound about it. Life went on.

    I don't know about hopeful, but I've always thought it was human-empowering. When I was getting into scifi there were a lot of post-apocalyptic novels (yes, even for children) and in most cases the world was in the state it was because of our choices, for good or bad.

    Love and Thunder. The humour felt misplaced.

    Americans, how do you feel about being stored in a database by government agencies like the NSA?

    Every search you make, email you send, text message, voice chat, location, and most likely the conversations you have in your own home are monitored and stored in a database for whoever knows how long (probably forever). When I hear land of the free, I immediately think bullshit. We are slowly losing our freedoms, what can we do...

    If a useful brain-computer interface was available sometimes in your lifetime (and secure and safe) would you get one?

    Background to this slightly weird question: I found one of my old an English exams on science fiction and dystopian literature from the 11th grade in North-Rhine Westphalia, Germany (ca. 2004) and found a similar question. The idea back then was to discuss the pro- and cons of a BCI (and I objectively did not do to well back...

    Me.

    My org used to use label printers that would often fail because of one cheap plastic cog that got worn down over time. Replacing the cog meant taking the whole printer apart. My co-workers would send them back to the vendor to have it done, but I enjoyed the work and used to disassemble printers myself to swap the cog.
