YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.



Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

It’s only a mild brainwasher.

When's the study coming out about Tetris Attack? Because I feel that would just increase your stress.

So this is why I have trouble recalling the 90s.

We just watch Keeping Up Appearances for half an hour. Nothing could be as traumatic as trying to drink tea from fine bone china with hand painted periwinkles

It's pronounced Bouqeeeeeeet!

Comedy is so essential these days. Much more preferable to horror, there's enough of that in the world already without piping it in via the eyeballs

The other brilliant series to wind down with is Still Game.

Though This Country filled in the gap for a while!

Nah, Post Traumatic Growth is where holy grail of human behavior lies. (Been there, done that)

[–] Unseeliefae@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Downside is, every time you play Tetris to prevent PTSD, it causes you to remember all the traumatic shit that ended up tucked away in the back of your brain from all those previous times you played Tetris to avoid PTSD.

Or have SDAM and not worry about trama.

[–] Poiar@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can't have trauma if you can't remember you have trauma 😎

[–] jasonwaterfalls@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The one plus side of me having SDAM haha

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Is this too do with the focus you get from playing Tetris as well as the Tetris effect that can occur afterwards that'll keep your brain occupied so you don't think about the trauma as much?

I remembered as a bored primary school kid circa 2004 discovering my dad's old OG Game Boy from 1989 and playing the hell out of the bundled Tetris game.
