Monopoly was originally called “The Landlord’s Game” and it was invented by a woman in 1903.
It was meant to illustrate the dangers of unchecked capitalism.
Then it was stolen by a man and turned into the game we know today.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Would snail/slug slime make a good "intimate" lube?
4·7 days agoIt has been shown to reduce wrinkles and fade acne scars and such.
I’m not sure about it’s effects when used on a mucus membrane like the vaginal walls.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Would snail/slug slime make a good "intimate" lube?
8·7 days agoNo, snail mucin is very expensive and mostly used for skincare. It would be idiotic to pay that amount of money just for lube.

6·8 days agoI somehow missed all news about Life by You. Yikes at some of those screenshots of development. The art style was…oof.
This genre desperately needs more competition and I’m happy Paralives has survived to see the light of day. I remember learning about it a long time ago and was very hopeful then. The dev team seems really responsive to what the fan base wants as well!

It looks like they’ve implemented a Storyteller type feature similar to Rimworld to help guide storylines. I’m def intrigued and hopeful!

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What a good Lenny community to talk about teaching kids at home?
2·8 days agoI don’t yell at my kids, but they seem conditioned to only respond to being yelled at. getting them to do things they aren’t inclined to takes a lot of effort on my part and being consistent in that effort while working full time, cooking ,shopping and driving them to activities is more than I have managed so far. I have read how important consistently is but just have not achieved it yet.
I feel you SO HARD on this, truly. It’s really difficult to juggle everything and still be a “perfect” parent. I lose my shit sometimes as well, it’s inevitable.
The library is a great idea! It sets a good tone for learning and it’s not as distracting as being at home where all the cool stuff is lol

7·8 days agoNo, not at all! The early release got pushed back, but it’s really going to happen this upcoming Monday.
Been in development for about 7 years now. It’s a really dedicated, if small, team.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What a good Lenny community to talk about teaching kids at home?
4·8 days agoReading is non-negotiable in my house. His teacher this year also required 20 minutes of daily reading as homework, so it was easy enough to keep it up. I don’t care what my kid reads as long as he’s reading - that means it can be Dogman or Captain Underpants books or whatever he wants to read for those 30 minutes. Sometimes he chooses to write something for that time because he’s found a love of writing recently.
Outings are our family time. The experience itself is enough for me, I don’t push the educational angle a lot. We just talk about the stuff we’re seeing and it leads to deeper conversations about the world or him or whatever he wants to talk about.
This is just to help inspire you for the summer, sorry I don’t have more recommendations for workbooks and the like. We just don’t use them outside of school because his classroom is already so structured.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What a good Lenny community to talk about teaching kids at home?
8·8 days agoFor summer, I usually enforce 30 minutes of reading a day and otherwise take local trips for hands-on type education. Last summer, we hit tidepools and the history museum and did some kid-friendly science experiments.
You could look for workbooks or something similar for more targeted subjects.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•high heel Brand that is walkable and doesnt break after 0.8 uses???
2·8 days agoBe sure to store your shoes in a dry, dark place. Time and moisture can cause shoes to literally disintegrate.

10·8 days agoinstead of brands, look for heels that are wedges, have a platform, or are kitten heels. Those are going to be more comfortable than something like a stiletto.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does anybody else feel like everything is off lately? What have you noticed is different?
17·9 days agoIt’s not just you. Majority of Americans don’t have even $1,000 in savings. The Iran war has been dragging for weeks and weeks and gas and groceries are only getting higher. People are feeling the pinch.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's up with all the captions on short form videos?
212·9 days agoProbably AI.
On the subject, my millennial ass hates watching videos with the sound on. I’d rather read captions so if this is a real trend picking up and it’s not AI, then great.
