Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES (updated 01/22/25)

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
  4. Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
  5. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
  6. Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Lock screen is just a picture I saw that I liked i don't know who made it

Background is from torment: tides of numenera the changing god looking out at earth year circa 1 million from his space station before the game starts and it gets destroyed with you falling to earth.

Lock screen

Took it in 2019, and it's been my background since then.

A picture of the beach in a neighbourhood I want to move to in 3 years.

I went abroad to earn money and build a life for myself, I'm looking forward to moving back to my home country one day and having a house in a nice neighbourhood near family

My bubby crossed the rainbow bridge recently and this was a really good snap of him

On my phone. I lose out on the edges of the image due to the resolution, but oh well.

I changed the wallpaper once in a blue moon every time I set up a new device, these two from 4 years ago when I first bought the phone.

I always just search "Oled wallpaper" and it usually return somekind of astronout just because of the black element.

My current wallpaper is Hornet from Hollow Knight, but it cycles between around 150 pictures

My favorite is this fanart of Phos from Land of the Lustrous

SHAW !

I always found it amusing every time the HK fandom imploded when Team Cherry failed to show anything on a hyped showcase.

Don't get me wrong, I too would disappear from civilization for a while when Silksong launched, but god they're passionate aren't they

I managed to fat finger wrong reply to two different comments in this thread, fml

Wish I could actually delete these comments so there wasn't a permanent reminder of my incompetence

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

But hey, at least I got a reply

Hex 222e45.

I don't see it very much these days, as I'm using a tiling environment.

The default. It rotates around.

The first one is a drawing of women kissing, because I love lesbianism and art. The one on my homescreen is my old room.

I took a hike up Mission Peak (Fremont, CA, US) some number of years ago and had to stop 3/4 the way up as it was too muddy, but I got a good shot of the bay and have been using it on my phone since. It also has this weird feature where the lighting on it also makes it look bright but cloudy to dark and stormy depending on screen brightness.

This is my current mobile wallpaper and this is my current desktop wallpaper! Although this reminds me that it's about time to pick a new wallpaper for my desktop since it's been a few months.

Picture of what used to be my cat, Henk, sitting upright in a window still looking at the camera mad as hell because he can no longer stretch there due to the new plants.

I found this on Reddit on either r/bunnies or r/rabbits a few years ago, can't remember who posted.

My desktop wallpaper is the default Windows 10 wallpaper, and occasionally something on Wallpaper Engine.
