Holy shit, this is the first time in Lemmy I've seen someone ask and obscure question and a person in a specialized profession answered. That used to happen on Reddit all the time, but I didn't think Lemmy had a critical mass of users.
I answered one about hospital socks semi recently but I may have deleted it in my most recent bout of muddying my post history.
* non-Linux obscure question
Yeah, that’s the one area that Lemmy excels at. Going to Reddit for Linux advice will be hit-or-miss, but Lemmy will give you the right answer straight away.
Of course.
I know it's a bit more niche here, so I try to chime in when I see airplane stuff. An account I had on a now-defunct instance had a bunch of airplane memes and comments.
We need some Lemmy gold or something, so we can get the “thank you kind stranger” comments lol
