sanguinepar , to Ask Lemmy in Sleepers of lemmy, do you have your cell phone in your dreams?
@sanguinepar@lemmy.world avatar

Yep. I have on several occasions had dreams about my phone having been taken over by malware or similar, the homescreen being changed to be full of junk apps, and being unable to uninstall them or take back control of the phone. Not pleasant at all.

sanguinepar , to No Stupid Questions in Why are fake laughs added to sitcoms?
@sanguinepar@lemmy.world avatar

I'm not saying this is what they or other shows do, but just saying it was filmed before a live audience does not necessarily mean that it's the sound of that live audience that makes it to the broadcast product. Easy enough to add a laugh track to augment or even completely replace the sound of a live audience.

EDIT - in fact there's even a name for it - Sweetening

sanguinepar , to Ask Lemmy in How have your opinions on media you once enjoyed changed over time? Are there movies or shows you used to find funny but no longer do?
@sanguinepar@lemmy.world avatar

I'm not that knowledgeable on either, but if I remember rightly you also have the choice of watching the TV Show as it was broadcast in the USA or as it was broadcast in the UK (and maybe elsewhere) - the main difference being that the USA one has a laugh track added.

I may have some of the details wrong, but just FYI.

@sanguinepar@lemmy.world avatar

That's what I thought, but really? Of all the cities in the world, the top two are 50 miles apart in central Scotland?

@sanguinepar@lemmy.world avatar

What does it mean by most addicted? And why are Glasgow and Edinburgh right up top?

@sanguinepar@lemmy.world avatar

Oh, is THAT what it is? Thanks, I couldn't figure it out at all! 👍

@sanguinepar@lemmy.world avatar

This is more of a fix than a feature, but I find that sometimes when I'm in my inbox, I can't get back to my home screen. It's inconsistent but it happens a lot, and I usually have to open a comment reply, then go to the thread, then the community, and then I can use the home button again.

It's something that happened with Sync for Reddit too, so it's not a new issue. I can't seem to work out a pattern of circumstances though, it just seems to happen randomly.

It was a shame how he carried on.

sanguinepar , to Ask Lemmy in Lemons(?) of Lemmy, what is something that feels so obvious to you that you just get lowkey pissed at the world for not knowing?
@sanguinepar@lemmy.world avatar

Holy shit. Remind me never to drive in the US if we are an example of courtesy and self-awareness.

Ooh, I must remember that, that's a good one. Some of my clients could do with learning it.

I've seen people use till, when they mean 'til, but never seen tell. That's just weird.

sanguinepar , to Today I Learned in TIL Hunter S. Thomson got an early honorable discharge from the air force in part because, "Sometimes his rebel and superior attitude seems to rub off on other airmen staff members."
@sanguinepar@lemmy.world avatar

His books of letters from that time are well worth reading if you're interested in that time in his life, very interesting.

sanguinepar , to Ask Lemmy in If human skin was sometimes completely patterned (eg. spots, stripes, etc.), what pattern (if any) would you want to have?
@sanguinepar@lemmy.world avatar

Black and white stripes to match my football ⚽ team.

sanguinepar , to Ask Lemmy in What is your favourite poem, and why?
@sanguinepar@lemmy.world avatar

I really like the Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Coleridge. I first encountered it as a result of reading Douglas Adams' Dirk Gently novels, but one day I saw the original in the library and just read it from start to finish. It's fantastic, so weird, so compelling.

I also like his Kubla Khan, the imagery of the "caverns measureless to man" and the "sunless sea" have always stuck with me.
