You can also think of it this way. Clock turns clockwise = time goes forward. Steam deck turns clockwise = webpage moves forward. Forward on a webpage is down because of reading direction.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down.English
2·2 months agoIn my 20s, I worked in a place primarily staffed by women. As in it was just me and one other guy on the floor and we didn’t work the same shift. I intentionally left the seat up, waiting for a day to get spoken to about it. Somehow in my young mind, I thought I might be able to sue for discrimination. Yeah, I was kinda dumb. Nobody ever spoke to me, so I never had the opportunity to test that.
Currently, I try to put the seat down when I’m done, even though it’s one sitter and three standers in my home. My thought is that it doesn’t inconvenience me to put it down, so I do it.

13·2 months agoNot communism! I’m afraid of it threatening trade, free elections, and my individual freedoms.
Certainly unchecked capitalism will save us!

My trailer trash neighbor hates the new folks across the street because they’re from out of state. “This ain’t New York!” It’s not even racially motivated, everybody is white. I swear he purposely does annoying shit to bother them.
And before anyone judges me for calling them trailer trash, their Wi-Fi is “Trailer Trash.”

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Can you please explain the last joke you made that you're sure no one got?English
3·3 months agoI don’t have any examples of my own, but here is my favorite over explained joke from Scott Pilgrim vs The World.
Todd: Tell it to the cleaning lady on Monday.
Scott: What?
Todd: Because you’ll be dust by Monday… because you’ll be pulverized in two seconds. The cleaning lady? She cleans up… dust. She dusts.
Scott: So, what’s on Monday?
Todd: 'Cause… it’s Friday now, she’s got the weekends off, so… Monday, right?"
My boss loves it and keeps suggesting we try it. Luckily, there isn’t much use for it in our line of work.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are mundane actions we get to do everyday with technology that would be a superpower to people from before say.. the 1600s?English
19·3 months agoThis is a poor interpretation of average life expectancy numbers. Plenty of people lived into their 60s+, but due to high infant mortality, the average gets pulled way down.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•If you enjoy napping, you're basically time traveling to a future where you're less tired.English
2·3 months ago20-30 minute naps are ideal. When I lie down, I set an alarm for 35 minutes. It gives me 15 minutes to fall asleep and if I don’t fall asleep in that 15 minutes, then I realize it’s not happening and get up.
I’m sure they’ll be fired up.

The most amazing part of this is that Florida is shown to be a part of the Appalachian Mountains. Meanwhile, its highest point is only 345 feet (105 meters), which is the lowest state high point of all 50 states.
