Lengthy analytical comment debates in every trending thread. I'm not saying it's absent, of course, but there is a distinct lack of detailed high-level discourse.

To be fair, the same has plummeted on Reddit in recent years, but that's the major drawcard that Lemmy will take years itself to emulate.

Lemmy is crushing Reddit in the memes department.

“Trans-exclusionary radical feminist” for those who don’t know

I assumed this was happening for years

The scary thing is she probably has zero regrets and would do it again.

If you have an issue with Reuters, you have an issue with free press. Motherfucker's a free speech ablutionist.

I have so many questions. But I'm not sure I want to know the answers.

Of course it would have been impossible. One in four climbers on K2 does not make it back. This is a non-story, as tragic as the loss of life may be. 25% mortality rate. You have better odds rolling a die for your life. Punintended.

(I'm not saying they shouldn't have stopped to help; only that the likelihood of him surviving was near-zero.)

DEATHS ON K2

K2 is considered one of the most difficult climbs. For every four climbers attempting to summit K2, one climber dies. In comparison one in every 20 attempting to climb Mount Everest dies. As of June 2018, only 367 people have completed the ascent of K2 and 86 had died trying. As of 1995 113 people reached the summit of K2 and 48 died. In 1995 seven people were killed in brutal storm that raged for nine days. Thirty kilometers away a rock climber froze to death in a hanging tent. In August 2008, eleven climbers died over two days (See Below), In a 1953 attempt, Art Gilkey was killed, either in an avalanche or in a deliberate attempt to avoid burdening his companions.

Also, there's only so much- "he shot himself three times in the back of the head and fell out of a window" and "I also choose this guy's dead wife" and "if you owe the bank $1000 it's your problem and if you owe the bank $1m it's their problem" and "banana for scale" and "take my poor man's gold" ...ad nauseam, ad infinitum.

I've tried going back. I loved Reddit. But it's a recycling dump at this stage.

I think the point is that the cover is never guaranteed to accurately represent the book.

Quality of cover =/= quality of book

Is that a Roman numeral joke?

That’s the creepiest thing I’ve read online today. Gross.
