I think we still rank pretty far behind even Lemmy Koopa in the search results.

Drop some Mentos in it.

The “Fediverse” (capital F) refers to the social media platforms utilizing ActivityPub, specifically. I don’t believe there’s any agreed-upon name for such a network on ATProto, since Bluesky is the only platform actively using it.

I’ve heard this before, but I never understood how people find this easier. It’s still the exact same maze, you just swap the “start” and “goal” labels.

Wake up babe, new cat color just dropped.

Just use the calendar on your phone. Set an event for a year from now titled “Go back and see if I was right” with a link to the comment in the description.

Food delivery scammers will often do this and blur out their whole street. That way, when they report to their Uber Eats that they never got their order, the support team can’t compare the driver’s delivery photo to anything and will usually refund the meal because of it.

This is my thought on it, too. I don’t disagree with any of the point OP is making, but I think a larger issue is people misusing ActivityPub platforms and trying to make them into something they’re not. It’s not meant to be a messenger, it’s not meant for privacy. Everything being public and transparent is part of the core design of the Fediverse. The idea of private groups/posts on the Fediverse seems counterintuitive to me.

Japan.

I think it’s fascinating. I don’t think it holds the same reverence as man-made art by any means, but I still find it impressive.

The word off is a zombie doing the Thriller.

That post is from 2021. Is there a more recent udpate?

Yeah, probably a lot of Rittenhouse wannabes out there who wanna test the limits of castle doctrine.

Sweat*

Yeah, I was going to suggest a data export, as this will often give you a handful of files, most importantly would be a CSV containing all your posts. It would probably be relatively easy to automate the process with that file.

Rick & Morty for me. I thought it’s a funny show, at least the first couple seasons I watched of it. I stopped watching it because of how obnoxious the fans are, actually ruining the show for me. It got to a point where I’d watch an episode, hear a joke get repeated, and think to myself “Oh great, this will be the line that I hear everybody saying for the next six months”, to the extent that I get distracted by my own annoyance. Now I have this mental association with the show and the fans and I just can’t stand to watch it anymore.

This was all before the shit with Roiland came out, for what it’s worth. But that’s another reason I struggle to enjoy the show anymore.

A plane can’t stop flying without hitting the ground

Totally unrelated to the thread, but this reminded me of Special To Hollywood, a really interesting short radio play from the 40s, about a plane that mysteriously becomes suspended in the air while the passengers and crew freak out trying to comprehend what’s happening. It’s a sort of surrealist horror story that I think was actually pretty ahead of its time.

Somehow, as a kid I ended up with a collection of cassette tapes of these Lights Out radio shows. They were all pretty basic, Twilight Zone-y stories, but this one always stood out to me. You made me remember that, so I just wanted to share this weird little story.

Dude, I don’t even want to fly on a fully-manned flight with the way these planes are dropping out of the sky these days.

OP acting like he seriously doesn’t own a shirt with a logo on it.

It’s a kind of “side” mode in The Finals, which is an FPS game. In Power Shift, 2 teams of 5 try to push a floating platform from the center of the arena into their opponent’s base, in a sort of reverse tug-of-war battle. As the platform traverses the arena, it effortlessly demolishes all structures in its path, so the destruction and chaos are cranked to 11.

It’s sort of similar to “payload” type objectives in some other FPS games like Overwatch or TF2, but instead of teams taking turns, they’re both pushing against each other with the same payload. It’s a ton of fun!
