One of my boyfriends is in the middle of forcing me to watch all of Naruto, and honestly I hate it so far? Once you're a couple seasons into Shipuden they interrupt every single episode of actual progress with like 5 episodes of unnecessary flashbacks. Also the message is terrible, it's misogynistic as hell and damn near fascistic.

For the One Piece fans here, I'm getting the impression that it's like almost exactly the opposite. Is that true? If so we're watching that next for sure.

A confederation of autonomous zones run horizontally under anarchist principles, a la Rojava, the Makhnovshchina, Catalonia, etc etc. Presumably for many types of collapse, there'd be a gradual period where the government just cuts off services to increasingly populated areas and abandons them. Autonomous zones like these could spring up to fill the void, and eventually be better than what they're replacing.

Coconut and honey? Oh no, that one TikTok lady is gonna be so sad...

Why are people afraid of house centipedes? They already ARE cute! It'd be one thing if they were at least somewhat willing to bite you, like some spiders, but they won't. They've got the best eyesight of any centipede, which inadvertently gives them really cute little eyes too.

I use it fairly frequently and enjoy it! My instance is Pxlmo but it hardly matters, federation doing its thing and all. The official app is quite buggy atm, but not unusably so, and it's fun to watch the updates slowly improve things. I do follow a lot of people who are actually on mastodon but only ones who mostly post pictures anyway, so they fit better in my pixelfed feed.

EDIT: Oh, I forgot to mention! I also kinda use it as image hosting for other apps! Only for pictures worth posting though, not trying to clutter it up. All my picture posts on Lemmy are stored there. If you put the direct link to the pic in the Lemmy image field, it shows up just as if you'd uploaded it directly to the post, no click-through necessary.

At least the subscribed timeline looks nothing like this at all, but to be fair I did put a lot of time and effort into curating mine

I use this all the time, real filament saver! For the overwhelming majority of real world use cases, the strength of a part has much more to do with the walls than the interior, so it shouldn't really be any weaker. Just make sure your walls are thick enough.

There actually is a fediverse TikTok equivalent being developed! I'm not sure what the current status of it is, but it does already have rudimentary functionality. I bet the developer(s) might appreciate some help working on it, if anyone has the time/coding skills/money/etc to contribute. Somebody else mentioned Tumblr, and that exists too! So many cool projects being worked on, I regularly check this list to see what's new, and it's really heartwarming to see all the work people are putting into making the fediverse such a awesome place. There's even a Tinder-esque dating app!

Personally, equivalents I would love to see include:

• Archive of Our Own
• RPC/F-List/roleplay platform
  • (I'm actually trying to work on one of these myself, but I'm an amateur so don't get your hopes up lol)
• Etsy
• Ravelry
• A search engine
  • (And not just a metasearch using the same index as Google/Bing/etc)

One possibility is that, any of these jars that were vacuum sealed in the first place, they can easily be re-vacuum sealed with a cheap vacuum chamber/hand pump combo. it's not an appropriate preservation method for all the kinds of things that originally came in the jars, but will keep dry goods from oxidizing/etc.

Yes, obviously.

I have zero training in that stuff, but I'm occasionally called upon to do it for my library's digitization service. It's kinda fun! Anyway, if you DO have some kinda certification in that, your local public library needs you.

I gave up both, problem solved lol
