3x / week is the minimum-threshold to sustain a yt-channel

Eh? There are excellent popular YouTube channels that post way less frequently than that.

I think it would be a mistake to try and draw any clear comparison between a YouTube channel and a Lemmy community. But for YouTube, I’d say weekly is really the minimum of where you want to be while trying to grow.

fitness-workout-threshold: 3x / week sustains our health, 4x / week brings us closer to our optimal health

I ran a 3:15 marathon on 7 runs per fortnight, and a sub-18 min 5k on roughly 3 runs per week. On the other hand, I wouldn’t dare try a triathlon, even a relatively modest goal of 2:30:00 Olympic distance, on fewer than 2 runs, 2 rides, and 1 swim per week, for 5 total workouts minimum.

Exercise is even harder to compare to Lemmy than YouTube is, in my opinion. Because with exercise, the length, intensity, and variety of that exercise plays such an enormous factor.

there was an old redditism that the best way to get off with murder is to use your car

Not a redditism. An urbinist-ism. Reddit had a healthy contingent of urbanists, but you’ll find us here on Lemmy too, over at !fuckcars@lemmy.world, or !urbanism@slrpnk.net. (Or, frankly, because it’s a movement with significant overlap to anticapitalism, just all around the threadiverse.)

And it’s completely true, too. I can easily think of half a dozen cases where someone killed someone else with a car and got away scott-free in my country alone (in fact: with just one exception, the ones that come to my mind are all in my city alone). And only one of those cases even went to court as far as I know.

This is ridiculous. There’s no way a client calls a dolly a “pan”.

That’s obviously zooming.

I wanna see something like this for other accents. The gimmick in this sentence doesn’t work at all in my accent because they all use different vowels (apart from earned and urn). What’s the Australian equivalent to this? RP? Scottish? I reckon the Kiwi version would be pretty funny.
