[Feature requests] Reopen thread if the app is closed while editing

[Feature requests] Reopen thread if the app is closed while editing - Lemmy.World

Voyager takes after the Apollo app in this regard, where if the app is closed while text is being edited, it’ll bring back the unsaved draft, but it’ll pop that into the next reply window you open, even if it is a different thread entirely. Being able to reopen the same thread and resume editing would make it much easier if you’re switching to another app to look up a reference or a link, and Voyager gets destroyed by the OS. It’d also help refresh your context if you can’t remember what it was you were writing and why.

What happened to Kbin.Social? - Lemmy.World

While kbin.social’s site mentioned that they were migrating to a new provider, and as a result, the site might be experiencing some issues, kbin.social has been serving up a similar HTTP 50x errors, and that migration message for well over a month, if not more. What happened?

How do you ask for a haircut?

How do you ask for a haircut? - Lemmy.World

While ordering a crew cut is easy, since it’s on the menu, what about other kinds? Can you just go “I’d like a men/women’s haircut” and leave it at that, or do you need something more specific, like saying you want a Charlestone done by a No. 3 to the sides, and a 4 up top?

[Ace Attorney] Why are spirit mediums treated as fake, when they are a very real thing?

[Ace Attorney] Why are spirit mediums treated as fake, when they are a very real thing? - Lemmy.World

In our world, the police going to a spirit medium for the DL-6 case, and being ridiculed might be logical, since spirit channelling isn’t a real thing, but in the world of Ace Attorney, it is. Not only is it a known and established practice, with detectable physical effects, but the monarchy of at least one country is specifically sought out for their spirit-channelling powers by other governments, so that they can commune with the dead, and receive advice that way. However, it also seems to be disbelieved, and ridiculed as a pseudoscience, despite that.

What would inorganic species call themselves?

What would inorganic species call themselves? - Lemmy.World

I’ve been using “mechanoid” as a classification (similar to humanoid, etc), but a friend pointed out that it’s both too generic, and that said inorganics might just consider it biology, with organics being the weird outlier.

Why is "Dear X" considered more formal than "To X" in e-mail/writing?

Why is "Dear X" considered more formal than "To X" in e-mail/writing? - Lemmy.World

You wouldn’t start off an e-mail with “My Dear X”, or “Dearest X”, since that would be too personal for a professional email, so “To X” being more impersonal seems like it would make the letter more professional-sounding, compared to “Dear X”.

Why do we castrate animals instead of giving them vasectomies?

Why do we castrate animals instead of giving them vasectomies? - Lemmy.World

In humans, we don’t usually castrate them because it throws their hormones out of whack, and causes all kinds of issues, but wouldn’t that also be the case for some animals, since their hormones systems are fairly similar? Why is it that that we remove the testicles entirely, rather than giving them vasectomies like we do for humans?

[Doctor Who] How do the Doctor's enemies keep track of which Doctor is which?

[Doctor Who] How do the Doctor's enemies keep track of which Doctor is which? - Lemmy.World

Doctor Who zips all the way up and down through time, popping in at any time and place. If you don’t have a time machine to follow them around with, it should be impossible to keep track of which incarnation was where. And yet, the Doctor’s enemies somehow manage to do just that, with the Daleks being accurate enough to determine he was on his last regeneration [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVQSqm5djEo] on Trenzalore.
