Hey these are great suggestions, I'll get child custody for today
You won't see this in a red state I can assure you
I really feel being somewhat neuro divergent when my first though was, 'wtf Is that font', it's like someone made comic sans worse.

So refreshing seeing those words actually used in a public setting. Suicide instead of "self unaliving", rape instead of "grape", etc. Maybe I really am chronically online
Even "chronically online" seems a bit euphemistic... it's like we're all living under oppressive technofascism.
Maybe I really am chronically online
Perhaps. It is kind of nice to know that a lot of the drivel we read on these forums doesn't necessarily translate to how people behave in the real world.
I've gotten way better at identifying users whose brains are "shot" from spending too much time on social media. At some point, I've realized I may as well not be discussing with a human; they're walking memes.
We don't deserve librarians
what exactly do these numbers mean?
Dewey decimal system for finding books on the shelves.
yeah multiple people have answered it by now
Conan the Librarian:
Ah Lemmy, downvoting an honest question. Daddy Reddit would be proud.
Upvoted to offset the stupidity.
People were seriously downvoting this? People need to be more aware that what used to be common knowledge is not so common in either younger generations or other parts of the world. We should not discourage people from asking genuine questions.
38 upvotes 1 downvote. Theres always going to be people who downvote things. Could be someone who doesn't realize that system isn't used everywhere, or maybe their app uses a swipe feature they haven't turned off. Sometimes when I scroll down I'll accidentally have it slide left or right and up/downvote something without me ever really noticing it happened. I wouldn't hate on all of Lemmy because 1 downvote though, seems overzealous

Where to find the books, shelves are indexed.
books have category numbers and libraries sort their books by this
Federal library funding is under threat--- So go support one of the last remaining public spaces. It's an outdated idea, somewhere a human can exist without having to spend money.
I took my young kid to a recent library event - the first time I've been to a library in several years, to be honest - and overheard the organizer (or leader or whatever) of the event saying "that's why we're here: to give people somewhere safe they can have entertainment for free."
I didn't have much in the way of an opinion on that person prior to that, positive or negative, but I respected the hell out of them after hearing them say that.
Good now trump knows exactly which books to ban
I don't anyone in the Trump administration can understand the library categorization system so I think we're okay.
I love this! It's a really thoughtful thing to do
