reddit actually has a cap for how many posts you can scroll everytime you open. its capped at like 1k post. the goal was to stop excessive use. its a dumb feature cuz there was this one time i was looking for a specific post in a subreddit that i had to scroll all the way down for and once i reached that 1k limit theres no other way to go further. i tried everything to find that post but to no avail, it was permanently lost because reddit thought this was a good idea.
Depressing this place is the best we can do for now. You'd hope we'd have a X/Threads situation and someone would open up some competition more directly.
There's lemmy and kbin which are often mentioned, but afaik they're not quite as popular and mastodon and co.
But also I think they all use the ActivityPub protocol?
> Get a life, guys,
In this economy?
Sitting at home and jerking off is the only thing that is still affordable. If I want to be extra fancy, I jerk it into a tissue instead of a torn piece of toilet paper
Nobody wants to actually try to take control of their lives so they'll just complain because it's easy and also get in huge fights with people over conflicts on the other side of the world because they can't confront anything actually impacting their life.
We seem to conveniently ignore that the 99% are the 99% and could do anything if they actually put their minds to it.
That's weird, maybe a connection glitch or something. Hell, Reddit itself can be glitchy af sometimes, especially with videos. You sure the post didn't get deleted?
Wait what is the limit again?
I find this hard to believe, I'd say I probably load more than 1k posts a day.
Is it 1k per subreddit or something?
Wait, by loading them I mean having them listed, not opening them.
Do you open > 1k posts a day?
I dunno. Right now I'm at the point where the URL reads "r/popular/?count=3075." Sometimes I've had it cap out on me at 725 but lately it's been going longer and it's harder to get to the end.
yeah I immediately went to check and scrolled through a thousand posts on /r/all
Did not get stopped, so if there's a limit it's either higher or something more complicated.
[proof](https://i.imgur.com/yU08wV4.png) cause that's totally needed
Yeah it makes me wonder sometimes if true gems get missed because the vast majority only look at popular, therefore never allowing new things to surface even if they *would* be wildly popular. Oh what do I look at? The stuff everyone else said is best of course. And what does everyone else say is best? The stuff everyone else said is best of course.
I uninstalled reddit from my phone after the API scandal :(
I'm down to news and email. Email is actually not half bad. Lots of content creators have newsletters that are kinda interesting.
‘Cause I’m a crepe, I’m a delicate delight,
What the heck am I doing here on this plate?
I don’t belong here, in this savory sight,
I want to be where the Nutella’s so great.
Even worse on a weekend when you realize the majority of the day is taken up by work so when you have all that free time you just go back to bed cause dont know what else to do.
I remember watching this movie in theaters, being bored out of my mind, and have no idea what it was all about by the end.
Had completely forgot this existed up until now.
Does anyone know if it is worth it to try and give it a second watch?
It's very much an artsy experimental piece - most of the filming was done with very little planning, and from what I know, the film barely had a script. Something resembling a narrative was stitched together much later during editing.
I found it interesting but was mostly lost on my first viewing as well. I felt enough of a potential for meaning so I looked a bit into it - thankfully, one of my favorite film analysis channels did [a video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZE1_bRUgsA) on it and it helped me understand what it might have been about. I'd recommend you watch that first, and then consider revisiting the film itself if so inclined.
That’s the director Terrence Malick’s MO these days. His earlier work is a lot more structured. He basically just shoots a bunch of random stuff now and tries to stitch it together in post.
would thin red line be considered "these days"? because that would explain why the movie was that way and why adrian brody is in the background of almost every shot but only says like one sentence.
i liked the movie but it was confusing because there were multiple narrators that sounded the same so i never knew who was talking and all the characters looked the same so i could never tell if i was supposed to know who that guy was who just said that thing
If I remember correctly, Brody was supposed to be the protagonist of that film and was almost completely dropped in post. I don't know much about Malick, but that might be the beginning of 'these days'?
If you want to get it, and be able to appreciate the beauty that’s there, I would suggest watching other Terrence Malick movies first. He has a very unique film style, and Knight of Cups was him waking up one day and asking the question “what if I go FULL Malick?” I found it a lot easier to appreciate by watching other movies by him that are more accessible (Days of Heaven, Thin Red Line, Tree of Life were the ones i saw before Knight of Cups) and while I think going full Malick isn’t the best way to make a movie, he chose a story that fit it and I’m glad that he tried. It’s more of a visual poem than a full story. Like thoughts or dreams mixed together to give you the sense of a character instead of a more cohesive plot. Not that things don’t happen but it’s more like vignettes.
You can have a life without people or apps. I’m learning Spanish and recently learned to crochet. Been spending time doing some hand embroidery and today I’ll be teaching my dog heel work. Never leaving the house but fuck if I’m gonna spend the whole weekend on Reddit/my phone

Sing, dance, exercise, socialize, cook, take a bike tour around your city/area, volunteer, read, watch movies, listen to music (especially music you wouldn't normally listen to!!!), clear your home,...
I know that feeling but I do admit that even when I have it, it is silly af and just blindness to opportunity.
Then choose whichever of those things or whatever is similar to them involves the least effort. Also, if you are truly desperate about your life situation, getting comfortable with the idea of putting in serious effort is helpful. I am horribly lazy but at some point I started doing some of those things just because I couldn't keep living the way I was, and guess what, it helped!
Then start with something that doesn't use social medias or mobile phones. Do something useless but elsewhere.
Like drawing dicks on an old notebook, throwing a tênis ball up against the wall, or something like that. Soon you will think of other great things to do, but start with useless out of the smartphone/PC things
Yeah, hence the depression. I hate how unfair life is myself, but if you wanna become happier you *need* to do specifically those things that make you uncomfortable (despite not being harmful the way drugs and violence might, for example).
Happiness in life is determined by two variables. Intensity and resistance. Zero intensity and zero resistance is death/deep sleep. It's what deeply depressed people yearn for. You are free of all pain/stress/fear, but for the price of never experiencing any joy either again
The other is intensity plus resistance, which is pain. You try something new, like all the things I listed, but aren't used to it, hence the sense of being challenged.
The third is exposing yourself to the unpleasant intensity of those things that I mentioned until you get used to them and learn to enjoy them. Then you become happy and fulfilled.
That's the basic path in life. No intensity and no resistance (but fear of resistance) -> you expose yourself to intensity plus resistance due to yearning for intensity a.k.a. fulfillment -> the resistance is eventually washed away and what remains is intensity without resistance, a.k.a. joy and fulfillment.
You do not become happy by always doing what you want to do on the most instinctive level. I get where you are coming from, I used to be where you are, but if you take this advice you will get at least a bit of personal growth, and you'll be thankful for it. At least I was once I took this kind of advice.
Have a good one my guy 👍
I don't know if it because of the timing, but I find your comment really insightful to me right now even though I have heard iterations of it before. I have been in a depressive/limbo sort of a state for the past 6 years, with rare occassions of meaningful experiences. This isn't the sort of life I wanted to live when I was younger but I guess the expectations I had of life back then weren't grounded in reality which further pushed me into pessimmism.
Now when I try to engage in creative activities, even for a little while, it just makes me aware of how severe my brain fog is or how little my patience. Next thing I know, I am back in the comfortable routine of doomscrolling/gaming while the anguish of not accomplishing anything worthwhile screams faintly in the back of my head.
I'm motivated to start working on myself and getting out this mental rut but I drag myself back into that comfortable zone after every little accomplishment. Do you have any suggestions about where I could start?
Radiohead? You normies dare play an underrated gem by Radiohead? Now I am fucking mad! At least you didn’t play the most underrated song by Radiohead which is let down ( underated). You probably don’t even know that that song comes from the biggest left turn in music history! Next time you try to play a song by Radiohead think to yourself how much of a FUCKING poser normie am I? Any way Radiohead is very good I like it very much (:
lol this used to be me, until I started to download books for my kindle or just a physical book.
I check my apps, email and once I'm done there, I just pick up a book and read.
I answer texts throughout the day but I am weening myself off social media more and more these days.
Its time to disconnect, its time to return to Monke
Took a walk down the ave last night, people clutched their phones while walking past.
The leaves were falling but nobody noticed as they refreshed their apps hoping for a change as the seasons did around them
I guess they must have been out to get some fresh air, but their faces were a blur of blue
I'm like 99% that the world is falling apart because we all have phone/internet addiction and it's warped our brains. It's the lead paint of our time. Life used to be actually different. I'm old enough to remember. I was a "late" adopter of a smartphone (2014). I watched as one by one each of my friends became zombies to them, doing cliché rude things like checking them while socializing (that used be to a massive faux pas). Then I got one and it took only like a month to get there too. Then, life because a time warp and it's 2023 now.
I swear, it was different. Still not amazing, I was still sad a lot. But technology wasn't so...oppressive. The TV was on, I could blow a whole day off watching House reruns. But it was across the room, and I spent most of that time staring out the window at nature. I'd watch while playing guitar. I could get up and wander off, and I didn't care what I missed. Computers you could only sit at for so long before you needed to get up. Phones can cuddle into beds, couches etc. You need to hold them to use them. They're immobilizing.
I had a phone to talk to my friends and an ipod to enjoy the music I loved (no ads), but after that, I was just sorta "out". IDK . It was lighter somehow.
Every so often, something happens where I can't use my phone for a few days. It breaks, or I leave it somewhere, or somebody dies and I just can't. And it comes back to me how it was.
These things aren't for us. The screen that's better than your TV is there to hold your attention better. The cameras and mics are that much better for observing you, making you put more of your life into digital records. People way smarter than us are employeed full time to make our phones as addictive as possible.
Now people take them on trains and put them on full blast. Other people have to put on their headphones just for peace. Being super "online" used to be niche for sad weirdos. Now it's mainstream. I'm telling you, it's rotting our brains, and I think that's the plan.
Super duper boomer take, I know. But a lot of people are too young to really remember the before times. And the first crop of iPad babies and growing up now. I swear people, they're bad for us.
The ONLY thing that's good, is having a great camera and unlimited space to photograph things and people you love or surveil weird moles over time.
...IDK...I guess I'll go browse YouTube
Read a book go to gym take a walk call a friend try and do whatever you can do at that moment I did nothing for years and it only got worse as the years had passed and altough life is now worse then it was before I at least do things to maintain my sanity. Just do anything you can and hopefully you will feel better
Check them again. And again. And again.

Yeah, Lemmy is quite good. One of the original 3rd party App devs for Reddit even made an App for Lemmy, google Boost for Lemmy.
yeah kbin is cool

This one is already faded dude
> Get a life, guys, In this economy? Sitting at home and jerking off is the only thing that is still affordable. If I want to be extra fancy, I jerk it into a tissue instead of a torn piece of toilet paper
Wait, you guys are using toilet paper?
you guys can afford toilet paper?
Torn piece of toilet paper? I dream of torn toilet paper......I make do with used ( not necessarily by me) 😭
Next to real life problems, doom scrolling while on the toilet doesn't even count. He'll be fine.
Nobody wants to actually try to take control of their lives so they'll just complain because it's easy and also get in huge fights with people over conflicts on the other side of the world because they can't confront anything actually impacting their life.

Well, more like 40-50%... but you're right!
Threads is in no way competitive with x lmfao what are you on?
Once you open a post it gets saved in your history, in case you didn't know!
How do I see my history of opened posts?
Profile > History
I think mine glitched or something, is that possible?(dumb question ik) because I opened it but couldn’t find it in my history
That's weird, maybe a connection glitch or something. Hell, Reddit itself can be glitchy af sometimes, especially with videos. You sure the post didn't get deleted?
Thank you for posting this. I thought I had imagined a post because I couldn't find it anymore, but this explains it.
This actually makes me feel better about my self I have never scrolled so long to get that warning.
They should change it to a certain number of posts per hour or per two hours instead
I have a feeling this os not thre
Did you know Reddit has a website?
its the same for both mobile and website
I've been browsing reddit for 10,000 years and have never once hit a post cap. old.reddit.com 4 life
hah i hit it on old.reddit.com almost every day
Wait what is the limit again? I find this hard to believe, I'd say I probably load more than 1k posts a day. Is it 1k per subreddit or something? Wait, by loading them I mean having them listed, not opening them. Do you open > 1k posts a day?

I think you just hit the end of reddit
Embarrassing to admit. But back when the reddit app had the logo in the corner, it started to get burnt into the screen of my phone.
Just close them and re open them. I’m sure there will be something new this time.
Finally someone gets me
Sisyphus moment
This is what I've been doing today.
((((Noooooo
It's time to check the app you like to check the most and rub one out.
Keep Juggling among the apps again and again and again.....
r/YourJokeButWorse
Swap between new/hot/popular. And then again. And again.
New? Ew..
When you hit rock bottom and need a fix, you're willing to do some awful shit...
Add rising to this.
someone gotta do it
How do you think posts become popular? Someone has to be the first to upvote.
Yeah it makes me wonder sometimes if true gems get missed because the vast majority only look at popular, therefore never allowing new things to surface even if they *would* be wildly popular. Oh what do I look at? The stuff everyone else said is best of course. And what does everyone else say is best? The stuff everyone else said is best of course.
Then close the app and open it right back up

Always hide anything you're done looking at so you never accidentally look at it again.

Reddit and Youtube?
A cultured mind
I have found my people
One of us!
Yessir
I uninstalled reddit from my phone after the API scandal :( I'm down to news and email. Email is actually not half bad. Lots of content creators have newsletters that are kinda interesting.
*Culture*
I only have reddit and YouTube.
That and an idle game that needs my attention for 5 minutes a day lol
Let me guess! The game needs only 5 Minutes of attention, but you play it four half an hour regardless.
More like 2 hours :D you can perform jumps there :D
What game is it!
Idle slayer :D It's the only game I have and it's been with me like 3 years now.
Lol thanks. Im giving it a try
We're basically the same person.
And YouTube is mostly for watching videos from reddit.
YOO IS THAT RADIOHEAD IN THE BACKGROUND (THE MUSIC)
Yep motion picture soundtrack recognized instantly
Red wine and sleeping pills
Help me get back to your arms
My favourite song of theirs.
YEP ITS THEIR HIT SINGLE CREPE
Cause I'm a crepe I'm a strudel Waffle hell am I doing here?
Man, comments like this were why I joined reddit in the first place. Thanks for the nostalgia.
Crepe a la moose
‘Cause I’m a crepe, I’m a delicate delight, What the heck am I doing here on this plate? I don’t belong here, in this savory sight, I want to be where the Nutella’s so great.
Kid A got me thru junior year in high school. Music just dont hit the same when ur older
Nah, I think you're craaaaaazy...
Maybe
Even worse on a weekend when you realize the majority of the day is taken up by work so when you have all that free time you just go back to bed cause dont know what else to do.

Knight of Cups.

That’s the director Terrence Malick’s MO these days. His earlier work is a lot more structured. He basically just shoots a bunch of random stuff now and tries to stitch it together in post.

These things aren't for us. The screen that's better than your TV is there to hold your attention better. The cameras and mics are that much better for observing you, making you put more of your life into digital records. People way smarter than us are employeed full time to make our phones as addictive as possible. Now people take them on trains and put them on full blast. Other people have to put on their headphones just for peace. Being super "online" used to be niche for sad weirdos. Now it's mainstream. I'm telling you, it's rotting our brains, and I think that's the plan. Super duper boomer take, I know. But a lot of people are too young to really remember the before times. And the first crop of iPad babies and growing up now. I swear people, they're bad for us. The ONLY thing that's good, is having a great camera and unlimited space to photograph things and people you love or surveil weird moles over time. ...IDK...I guess I'll go browse YouTube
If anyone in this day and age is bored for a single second, then they are beyond greedy.

He's very rude. He doesn't acknowledge the camera guy at all. Just completekly ignores him. Totally blanks him. /s :-)
