A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity 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 !askusa@discuss.online

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Terfs

I have a trans pride flag and a baseball bat next to my front door

Remember to keep your bat dressed with a long sock, so if someone grabs it, their hold will just slip away along with the sock

Good point, time to order some trans pride programming socks

[–] match@pawb.social 12 points 2 months ago

dress the bat in a series of pride socks so it cycles through them all if they keep grabbing the bat

Also it might make sense to have a baseball/softball glove nearby for plausible deniability reasons.

That's what the barbed wire and nails are for!

I don't think a game of baseball will solve anything. :P

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

Well, it's a good thing OP is willing to try an innocent sports game, and not anything premeditated

There's a chance it could bore the attacker into leaving.
