I know there are some good memorisation techniques for remembering small sets of thing, like the memory palace method. But I don't think that's suitable for remembering lots of words.

I have a few use-cases:

1. Remembering lots of celebrity names, for trivia
2. Remembering lyrics for songs while singing
3. General vocabulary building, for rhyme writing.

Are there any techniques that might work for any of these? In general, I'm less worried about remembering a small number of things well, and more interested in learning a lot of things, so I have more to reach for in the moment.

Would anyone else be interested in a "making hip-hop" community?

Considering how small Lemmy still is, I reckon it would be best to include multiple aspects - music production, rapping, freestyling, turntablism/scratching, beatboxing. Could always split some of those out into separate communities later if needed.

I would see it as a complement to the !hiphopheads@sopuli.xyz community, but more focused on how to make, rather than sharing cool stuff others have made.

If you're not middle aged, pick a younger age, IDK

I often come across ideas for new communities (sometimes I even have them myself), but I'm not always sure whether they would get traction.

How about a "suggest a community" community, where people can post suggestions, and get feedback on the idea, maybe tweak it a bit to be more useful, and also look for co-moderators?

It could act in parallel to !newcommunities@lemmy.world

Anyone have any ideas for how this could work better? Anyone want to co-moderate one?

A few observations about this community:

• Most posts are economics-related news posts
• not many (recent) posts about actual economics (though I haven't read many of the news posts, I'm guessing most don't go into much depth on the economic implications)
• No description in the sidebar
• No mods

I'd be pretty keen on a more theoretical economics community. Would it make sense to have a separate economic_theory community? Or would it be better to make a separate economic_news community?

Does anyone want to mod this community? Perhaps @MicroWave@lemmy.world or @cm0002@lemmy.world , since you two post a lot?

I wouldn't usually post a tele article, but this one's pretty funny.

I'm generally a fan of pretty shit beer (XXXX is my day-to-day). But even I have my limits.

Back in the day, it was clearly Tooheys Red Bitter, but I think these even Red is getting a run for it's money, e.g. from Byron Bay Premium Lager, which is something like James Boags but with all the soul sucked out through the nostrils. Obviously Foster's fucking sucks too, but I don't think you can even buy their lager in Australia, the only place I ever drank it was on a Singapore airlines flight out of the country, and once in Paris. Though I just realised that "light ice" was theirs too, and my Grandparents somehow always had one bottle of that in their fridge in the 90s, and it was shit too.

Anyway, there's about a million types of beer produced in australia these days, and heaps of them suck, but I want to know if Red has been knocked off it's podium for the worst beer ever.

Red drinkers: fite me.

This post was deleted from !asklemmy@lemmy.world in the last few hours: https://lemmy.world/post/26997415

I can tell, because I have this in my inbox:

(the *Permanently Deleted* bit still has the link to the URL).

The post title was "what's your favourite book" or something similar.

But there's nothing in the modlog that shows this. How come?

I would like to manage plugins in the lowest-touch way possible, and ideally one that's easy to migrate to other machines.

I like the idea of the internal plugin manager, but that generally means that I need to manually all the git repos on all machines. It also makes tracking plugins that I'm testing a bit annoying.

The alternative seems to be vundle or vim-plug, which do the git management, but don't use the internal plugin system.

Are there other options? What's the easiest these days?
