I only know of the version I’ve heard on Audible, and that’s the Sound Booth Theater one (autocorrect butchered the studio name in my comment. Fixed)
Oh no, you!

Your list of audio books is very similar to how I started. I stumbled across a torrent with a bunch of Hugo winners, and those were included.
Some recommendations off the top of my head:
- Project Hail Mary (Weir).
- Snow Crash. (Stephenson).
- Cryptonomicon (Stephenson. Not sci-fi, but I highly recommend it anyway).
- The End of Eternity (Asimov. His only time travel book).
And of more recent date, the “Dungeon Crawler Carl” series as released by sound booth Theater is pretty much the gold standard in Audio book production. Seems pretty shallow at first, but the sci-fi element becomes more and more prevalent with time, and it weaves a pretty interesting story. On top of being hilarious. I cannot recommend this series enough.
In addition to those, Discworld makes for some great audio books as well.

I now challenge anyone who haven’t seen it to deduce the rest of the plot, based only on my description.

neidu3@sh.itjust.worksMto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How many wolves could kill a tiger?English9·23 hours agoDisclaimer: I’m neither a tigerologist or a wolfonomer, and I’m generally basing this on guesswork.
For starters tigers are huge. But wolves are pretty huge too, larger than most people think. I believe they are only slightly smaller than Tigers (at least the tigers I saw as a kid in a Danish zoo).
And I imagine a tiger would have a hard time defending against multiple simultaneous attackers, something I believe wolves like to do, being pack animals.
So my guess is 2 wolves could take down a tiger. Maybe 3.

neidu3@sh.itjust.worksMto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why is blocking so common nowadays?English15·23 hours agoAnother aspect of this that I’ve found is that engaging in benevolent smalltalk with someone here on Lemmy somehow sometimes results in them treating it as an argument.
No, I will not concede to whatever point you’re trying to make; I was making conversation, you were trying to win an argument. I don’t care if you’re convinced your particular approach to a particular problem is better than mine.
And if they then don’t realize that I’m not interested in engaging, and keep the “debate me bro” attitude, they usually end up on my blocklist, or at the very least they end up with a red tag behind their name.
Thyme. Not that often, but whenever I use it, I use loads.
