Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

From my perspective, I believe it is true. I'm only late 30s, and I've been filling my time with more "firsts" than ever before, but I can't remember the last time I ever thought "damn, time is really dragging on today".
I've got a relatively new career; I've been trying my hand at politics (was just 150 votes from winning an election this year!); I've been getting involved with volunteer work; I've gotten involved in activism, going to protests, anti-racism rallies, removing stickers, posters and flags placed to cause division and hate; I've been bonding with the most beautiful parrot my fiancée and I rescued; I'm teaching my son to drive; - the list goes on. My schedule is pretty relaxed, but whenever I look at the time of day I think "hell, how did that all go so quick?".
I've been making a few mistakes just this week because my brain has refused to update the fact that we're 5 days into July already and we're no longer in mid June.
I dunno. Maybe it's time perception, maybe I have early onset Alzheimer's, or maybe I have early onset Alzheimer's.
