What are your favorite examples of 'media within media' (e.g., shows, stories, or movies inside of other shows or books)?

    • "I'd buy that for a dollar." in RoboCop.

  • If you could time travel, what would you change ?
  • I prefer to rewind time with me along, be young again, that kind of time travel. Of course with my knowledge and memories of up to before my "time travel", be retained. I could only remember what I could any way. The future would surely not happen exactly as the same before. Live a new younger life, a seemingly fresh restart at an early point in my life.

  • Are garlic, onion as plants; human urine as fertilizer; compatible with isopods, sow bugs?
  • Thanks for the quick reply. So maybe indeed urine was the culprit of the sow bug's demise after all. I thought they were robust enough for both feces and urine, as I have seen some internet pics of pill bugs feasting on I think dog poop, although those are big pill bugs and not the small sow bugs in mine, and of course those using isopods as clean up crews in tanks, hence I arrived to the wrong conclusion. Interestingly, the small pinhead-sized beetles are not affected.

    Just when I thought I got endless supply of fertilizer for almost per day. I was even dreaming of having a new raised enclosure just for the urine to be buried regularly (along with scraps) and thinking to have the sow bugs to have a feast, hence to have ready-to-use soil for pots. Before the appearance of these sow bugs, the last I've seen them were decades ago.

    Luckily I still have surviving numbers from the Papaya pot which I must take care to remultiply. Back quite a while, I remember whenever I scoop the soil from the raised bed, there were immediately numerous sow bugs but none today anymore. I'm glad back some months I scooped some and put in the papaya pot.

    Also glad that both onion and garlic plants have no effect on them as I remember reading they have antibacterial or something properties.

    Thanks again, my friend. 👍

  • Are garlic, onion as plants; human urine as fertilizer; compatible with isopods, sow bugs?

    Hello. Any of you who have robust experience for the compatibility of the three: garlic, onion, and human urine, to isopods in garden and pot soil?

    Maybe for 2 years I've been burying scraps into my small raised garden of about 1m long x 0.25m wide x 0.3m tall, located just under our front living room windows, for the hope to lure earthworms, but the isopods and beetles manifested instead. Beetles are only the size of silver pin heads, while the isopods have tinge of red, and adult size is about the length of a mung bean seed, of course not as thick. They're really small and delicate.

    After 2 years I got enticed to use human urine (our own) as fertilizer. I don't really dilute it, I just dig a hole then pour the liquid and wait for it to fully settle down then re-cover with the dug soil.

    Lately I noticed the population of the isopods really went down after less than a year. In fact I don't see them anymore when I dig soil anywhere there. But I don't really know if the urine affected them as my dig sites are often the same 2 locations since there are already existing plants. I only started to really see them again after I transplanted a Papaya from its pot to a bigger pot yesterday, which delighted me of their surviving small numbers there.

    Still I don't really know if the urine affected the bugs or if their population simply dwindled on its own. The urine surely would not spread across the entirety of my raised garden as those are 2 same locations, and so the bugs have way larger safe areas to go to.

    My adult chili pepper plant in a separate big pot also died, and my suspect was the urine because I didn't dilute it much, but I'm not really sure too, because that chili plant had been producing fruits continuously for maybe 3 months straight, and I don't know if that chili pepper plant was in fact really a perennial because I got it from the wet market. So my 2 suspects are the urine and the true lifespan of the plant.

    Then how about garlic and onion plants, are they compatible with the isopods? Right now I have on the table 2 garlic bulbs, 1 red onion, and 1 white onion with sprouts already so I placed it on water in a small cup.

    Now after researching, I think my bugs are sow bugs because they don't form a ball.

    I really want the isopods to prosper because I noticed the buried materials were gone way, way faster.

    Thanks in advance for any enlightenment.

    Andrew Garfield Shuts Down Rumors of Joining ‘Spider-Man 4’: ‘People Will Just Say Anything to Get Clicks’
  • Just wondering, why does Sony not re-utilize Andrew's own Peter Parker and Spidey in their own film universe, especially after the success of No Way Home and the revitalization of his character there?

    [challenge] How would the Predators and Aliens do, progress in the MCU Void?

    !

    [Challenge]

    Say whole planets, even whole timelines were pruned and sent to the MCU Void.

    All possible variants of the Aliens / Xenomorps and Predators, including bosses like Queens, Newborn (Ripley's), Predalien, Ultimate/Upgrade Pred (giant), etc.

    • R1 - Only Alien franchise is pruned.
    • R2 - Only Predator franchise is pruned.
    • R3 - Both are pruned simultaneously.

    Would any of the species prosper, or get eliminated? Could any representative of the species escape the Void?

    Facebook: Can Friends & Followers know what you Share in a Group Chat?

    Your personal FB Profile has some Friends and Followers. Then that same personal Profile of yours is a member of a certain Group Chat (not Group), but the Friends and Followers are not members of that Group Chat.

    So if you use the Share function of FB and share a post, a reel, a pic (from the FB platform itself) to that Group Chat, would your Friends and Followers know that in fact you shared something to that Group Chat, or even just a general something, like say "John Doe has shared this \<reel\> to a Group Chat". Would such appear on their feed, notification, or somewhere else in FB?

    I'm thinking of creating a separate Page, and then use that Page to share stuff (from the FB platform itself) to a Group Chat, to maintain my privacy from my Friends and Followers regarding that Group Chat. But I don't know if a Page is even allowed to join a Group Chat. Again "Group Chat" and not "Group", which are not the same. If this is allowed, please let me know too.

    Thanks in advance.

  • When I Post using video's URL like YouTube's, the leftside square Thumbnail is always the generic one?

    Hello. When I Post by putting the video's URL, say from YouTube, the leftside square thumbnail preview is always the generic one provided by Lemmy World, the one with the the link arrow in the middle. So I simply put the URL of the thumbnail instead (eg. maxresdefault, sddefault, etc.) It's been like such since I joined.

    Then just lately, I found out existing Posts in other YouTube-related Communities, the leftside square preview thumbnails do in fact show, and with the link arrow on the top-right corner instead. And I think the Body automatically inherits the existing Title and Description from the YouTube video. Both youtu.be and www.youtube.com video links work in those Communities.

    Examples of YouTube-related Communities with showing Thumbnails are:

    • c/youtubehaiku
    • c/youtube

    Here is my latest Post as example (which I have never edited yet), and I posted it via a raw Chromium profile, so no add-ons at all if they would interfere just in case:

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    2015 Fury Road: Could Nux have survived in the end of the film?
    • When Nux crashed on the War Rig, he and Max survived intact, no injuries at all. Although Nux was unconscious for quite a time. Note that Nux was driving only a car back then, and even Max was tied as his blood bag outside, and yet they they were both perfectly fine, unbelievably especially Max who I remember got thrown. Nobody should have survived that, even leave unscathed, but they both did.

    • Then when Nux purposefully crashed the War Rig to block the path, even after the Doof Wagon eventually rammed it, both big trucks were seemingly intact after the collision. No explosion, no final Nux body nor even the sequence of his body's demise unlike Rictus'.

    • What do you guys think? Possible that Nux survived? The War Rig's cabin was in fact fully intact too, only the wheels came off IIRC. And it was Nicholas Hoult too after all.

    • Would Nux be worthy of one or a few extra adventures before his cancer finally end him?

    ----

    • Then IIRC, Nux and Capable (the redhead of "Immortan Joe's Wives") seemed to liked each other back then, showing more character development than any other War Boy. So if any WB who would probably break the tradition / programming, it could be Nux. When he uttered his final "Witness me", it could very well not for Immortan Joe (nor even for Valhalla too) anymore but for the survival of Capable and the party. So any tertiary character to have a comic, short film, short story, etc., it could be him, don't you think?

    Official Poster for 'Hellboy: The Crooked Man'
  • Can't wait. I have eyesight problems with the accompanying headache, dizziness and nausea, and the last Hellboy with Harbour, I don't remember any too much camera shaking, so I was able to really enjoy it this stage in my life. I did see the first two films too, but those were many years ago.

    Classic 1966 Batman & Robin: Adam West and Burt Ward, among my favorite iterations of the dynamic duo.

    Burt Ward: "There are several fine actors who have portrayed Batman in films. In my eyes, there was only one real Batman. That is and always will be Adam West. He was truly the Bright Knight."
