- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

Solid 1. Reading a book is like watching a movie to me.
My boyfriend used to say that he would never read a book more than once, because he already thoroughly pictured the whole thing. But when watching a movie, he would catch new things on every rewatch. I never understood until now.
I can watch a movie in my head on demand. I thought this was something everyone can do!
Unfortunately doesnt work for movies I haven't seen ;)
Same. And when I think back about an old book I read, I remember the visuals rather than the words.
I couldn't tell you the names of all the characters in a book I read 10 years ago, but I can describe the 'scenes'. All the places they went to, things they saw, and the things I saw them do.
