Just happened to me today

I feel the meme

At least they help me to beat my Reddit addiction, thanks Reddit

They literally cut away their own ad revenue from me using their website, but hey - I can live with that. I'm definitely not creating an account over there, so Lemmy it is!

I second the noise canceling device; for me personally, I got the QuietOn 4, which are basically glorified earplugs with ANC for 200€. I use them for sleep, but together with my overear ANC headphones I can make my surrounding world genuinely quiet. The baby crying in the train is like a whisper, the car driving by isn't really noticeable, and regular talking gets blended out almost completely. I managed to sleep in a bus with a combination of these two; while one ANC layer on their own isn't really enough, if you combine two I can create a quietness bubble around me. Absolutely 100% worth it, it is really as amazing as it sounds.

Just sitting in a psychology lecture about autism. I relate, wayyyy too many people and sounds here ://

Absolutely, and I really, really hate that. Admittedly I'm also autistic, so I probably take rules a bit more serious than many people. But still I am heavily confused by the concept that we live by laws every day which most of us never heard or read about. Especially in Germany, where I live, we have a lot of laws for everything, and 90% of them aren't really enforced, but it still is theoretically expected of me to abide by them.

Just a strange concept overall.

Electrolytes!

Reading, or creative writing yourself! Literally only takes a pen and paper :)

Fall of the Roman Empire for me. Edward Gibbons wrote 'The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire' in the late 18th century, so yes, I could've studied it before that.
