I'll start.

Two weeks ago I started using Trakt. It's a website/app designed to keep track of shows and movies you've watched, and gives you a list of which episode is available to watch next which updates as new episodes are released.

A lot of other similar websites I tried don't have everything cataloged (some done have anime, while sites like Letterboxd only do movies).

Recommendations function is pretty horrible though and they lock basic filtering functionality behind a subscription, but it's still pretty good for what I need it for.

It also gives you stats for your total watch time. Which is now 192 days.. Not including reruns.. So maybe it's double that. I don't know whether to be disappointed in myself or proud.

I recommended this in another thread, but Merlin is a really cool/free Cornell app for your phone that allows you to identify birds with your mic or camera, then keep a record of what you've seen/heard. It works really well, and I scramble for my phone every time I hear a bird now.

Been trying to figure out which bird I keep seeing on my balcony, I'm gonna try this out!

It's almost like a "Pokemon Go"-type app in that it naturally encourages you to be outside more, like a constant little treasure hunt.

I recently became a monthly donator to our national bird protection services so this app is a great addition to the magazines I now receive.

I don't need an app to tell me what's a tit and what's a booby

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've never seen either in real life. :(

[–] Zozano@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

For now, these pics of tits and boobys will have to do

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

God damn. Luscious. Did not disappoint.

iNaturalist is a similar non-profit run app and identifies all living things: trees, flowers, bugs, birds etc.
