Amazing. 4 minute answer for something very specific. Truly incredible.

Honestly, given how small lemmy is comparatively, this precision and time frame is awesome. I’m glad I’m here!

Dalek to Queen's Rook 5. Exterminate.

Well now I can't unsee that, dammit

Explain the apostrophe. What am I not seeing?

Lots of people believe that the s character is dangerous and has to be segregated using apostrophes or it will attack the others and eventually destroy the alphabet.

The origins of this belief currently remains mysterious.

Sign of Lemmy gaining traction.

I had it immediately as well, just clicked to see if my answer was needed. I still have the set in a box somewhere.

Everyone is a bot except for you

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 8 points 8 months ago

I am not a bot, I am hooman just like you. I also do not consume oil or require batteries inserted in my anus, just like all of us normal hoomans.

It's not that specific. I had the same set in granite. It's a super common set.
