This one’s done to death, but kCups.

Also, plastic water bottles.

A more novel pick would be those plastic ez floss picks.

It’s hard to pin an exact number, but throughout western Kansas’s ~400 mi slog to Colorado, I was forced to view semi trailers with trump’s visage printed on the side, hilariously corny White Jesus signs, and Anti-Abortion signs approximately every ten miles.

I found it so disheartening, knowing that someone went through the effort of painting a semi trailer with Trump’s face on it and planting it right next to the interstate.

What does this accomplish? Who’s vote is being swayed by this garish tribute?

I have seen endless discussions online about Trump fans being culty, but this (apart from the coal rollers with flags) is the first time I’ve seen this type of undying loyalty in the wild.

The Jesus and anti-abortion signs are painful, but nowhere near as painful as these Trump shrines.

I am interested in the opinions of anybody, regardless of political affiliation. What do you think of this?

Also, I’m sorry I didn’t get a picture. I feel like the guy that claims he saw a UFO but has nothing to show for it. If anyone is driving through Kansas on their way to Colorado or vice Versa, PLEASE try and snag a picture of these Jesus signs and Trump trailers, so that people can properly contextualize this post.

This is huge, is it not? No loss in potential energy means that I could have an infinitely floating coffee cup without the use of power, no?

The cases that turn your phone into a sharp-edged rectangular prism are dumb as hell!

According to my rural-raised coworker, that submersible implosion was apparently a conspiracy.

According to him, The people aboard the sub came up with a plan to escape their debt. There was nobody aboard the submarine, and it was designed to implode as a permanent diversion.

I just wish the feed’s algorithm was a bit better.

My front page is constantly inundated with memes. I love memes, but I’m here for conversation!

I know I could just block/unsub from these communities, but I’d much rather have a healthy ratio between memes, news, and discussions.

Does playing devils advocate really make you an asshole?

You can say just about anything with the correct phrasing and it can come off polite.

When camping, late at night, a buddy told another one of my buddies:

“If you can see my face, I can’t see anything”.

I thought it was hilarious and concise and it still sticks with me. If your flashlight is illuminating someone’s face, they are being blinded!

How did this breach happen?

What information was compromised?

Are admins present 24/7, or are they lumped into specific time zones?

What steps will be taken in the future to prevent breaches such as this?

It would still be up to the admins/devs to introduce those features to their respective instances. There is nothing preventing the integration of innovative features whilst still keeping the instances entirely separate.

87

If this is the case, I urge EVERY instance admin across all currently federated apps to blacklist threads.

If threads is allowed to federate with these apps, it will outweigh all contributions to these apps, and when Meta eventually defederates (which they will), the vast majority of the community will be lost.

PLEASE HEED THIS WARNING!

Personally, I think the grammar bots fit right into Reddit culture.

Everyone is a smarty-pants on Reddit!

I do hope that people respect the instance hosts and go easy on the trivial bots when it comes to Lemmy though.

Prove me wrong, I dare you!

I cannot recall the last time I was swayed by an advertisement.

Say hello to Navi! She has an unhealthy obsession with plastic and broccoli. I have broccoli all over my apartment, because every time I chop it she NEEDS to snag a piece.
