I think most all of us here on Lemmy are people with technical background. Most of my professional contacts remained using Reddit, Twitter and even excited when Threads launched.
If you are non-tech background, please comment and share what you do for life.
If you have tech background, upvote this to help promote this post so that we can find more non-tech users on Lemmy.
Work on/build racecars. Some of it’s very technical, but probably not the type you’re asking about. Also a woman. I’m checking off all the abnormal demographics here. Right?
We should normalize what you do. Woman can build racecars or do any other work a man can. Great work, keep it up!
Yeah the only other abnormal demographic I can think of is being totally normal and well functioning mentally.
But I mean c’mon, this is an internet forum, we are all nuts here haha
That’s an amazing story! I’ve never been out west, but Bonneville would be awesome. Over 400 on salt sounds absolutely nuts.
Did you ever determine what was causing the spins? Aero or mechanical?
Def need an AMA. Or whatever we call it here. What kind of racing?
Ohhh what kind of racecar? I’m actually going after work to the shop to go scale our car. Cross is a bit off keeps getting a little loose at the corner exit.
Also a woman btw
Edit, just saw your other comment were racing very different cars but that’s awesome!
You’re my hero. I always wanted to work on cars. I ended up in IT. I miss repairing shit back in my tech bench days. Using my hands to repair, build, make better. What kind of racecars?
Username is great!
62 years old woman, semi-retired, only work part time now. I was in the travel business. Found Lemmy thru a Reddit comment a few months ago. Felt the need for a change. Currently with Lemmy, Kbin and Mastodon, trying to find my place.
Non tech background here. I work in a steel mill and see social media as entertainment. A time killer.
I’m a substitute teacher, and definitely not technical but my husband is, and he introduced me to Reddit many years ago. It was fun but I only ever used it on the RIF app. When I saw what was happening last month, I read a thread that suggested Lemmy as an alternative so here I am.
I’m a stay at home mom, no professional tech background. I came here to get away from Reddit. I am considered the “tech support” for my family and friends though. :-)
I’m an assembly line worker and have been for about five years now at different factories. Refrigerators, car parts, ag equipment, etc.
There’s a job opening coming up at a plant that offers college benefits though, so hopefully I get to join y’all in tech in a few years. Hopefully working with so many robots and machines will give me an advantage through sheer osmosis lol
I’m non tech.
I just work as essentially an administrative assistant in a real estate-esque office making $20 an hour.
Just a married woman in her 20s who is sick of Reddit’s shit.
I do not have a tech background. I am a baker in my mid 30’s. I became sick of reddits shit, and once RIF was gone I was done.
I really like Lemmy, even though I admit it is a bit confusing at times, but I’ve gotten the jist of it I think.
Am just a poor peasent fastfood worker lol, I joined Lemmy because I was looking for reddits alts and I saw some people saying “don’t try to understand it too much just sign up” so I did.
I’m a biologist, but have always been fairly techy in my own time outside of my work. Definitely not much of a tech person though, I can’t code or anything like that. Can troubleshoot most of my own technical issues though and built a PC.
Therapist. I’m not very techy at all.
Arborist. No real tech background or skills but always been interested in tech trends and issues, so I keep up with those things more than the average person.
Very technical. Technically, I build chairs!!
Non-tech Background. I work for a big union and migrated here from reddit, which was my only social media site I would use.
I work in a bakery. I used to be a nurse. But my husband is in tech otherwise I wouldn’t know about Lemmy more than likely.
