What thing do you love that you can never get anyone else to check out? (lemmy.world)

Kind of a hard question to word, but is there anything in your life you have recommended to other people but no one's ever gotten into?

I love podcasts and have friends who still thank me for getting them into this one or that one. But I've never gotten anyone to listen to My Brother, My Brother and Me. I don't know if the name is unappealing or the concept but people seem to bounce off immediately.

So what can't you get people into and why should we check it out?

I think the thigh high socks requirement scares people away 😓

The uniform used to be knee-high socks, cargo pants, scraggly beard and bald spot. It's still evolving.

I try to be prepared for the next wave by just using Linux naked.

If you shave your head and upgrade the beard, it at least looks like you meant to do it. Or that's my theory, anyway.

I do. And the operating environment
