Seriously the only episode of the television that can get me to cry EVERY. TIME.
Does it still save in one of the most basic but still GIGANTIC file sizes?
So, i was feeling pretty apocalyptic about this too - until it learned that "micro plastics" include any synthetic fibers like polyester. i mean, of course our clothing lint will get everywhere
TIL about the greek question mark
Tell me, can you tell the difference between these two characters?

Give a man AI and he'll make a meme
teach a man AI and he'll make money making memes
I haven't seen the film or heard much about it, only seen a preview before gaurdians but
How is this film QAnon-adjacent?
(and how is it that anti-pedophilia is now only a right wing thing when the church has been fucking children for decades? dont let em have it....)
Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
i just made this right now, after trembling at my first professional correspondence with an old highschool friend.
i knew accounts were being automatically created and thats why i don't believe the numbers
But, I am looking forward to changing my political views and recontextualizing my reality from a stirring post by CumFartCocktail :(
Did you know that Worf is over 110 years old at the start of TNG? Its true. He started his career as a defense attorney, defending Captain Kirk. He must have been demoted because he was a colonel back then!
Reddit went from the 5th most visited website in the world to the 20th. That's not nothing.
Lemme put on my tin foil hat for a second and say that this degrading of reddit was just in time for it to go public. It could only go up from here.
I can't predict the future, but I think this whole federating thing is good. The internet and its traffic was too localized. The people don't want to keep being sold.
Now if we could somehow get everyone that uses a site like this to actually PAY - say - $1 a YEAR, the internet would be better for it.
Yes, by running your own Lemmy server :P
Unfortunately, there is no way to distribute the work in that way. the @Home projects worked because it could give your computer a hard problem to work on with little traffic to and from the server.
no, unfortunately, the best way for all of us to contribute in those smallest of ways is to run an instance at home. That way, whatever amount of "thinking" (CPU) thats done by Lemmy server would normally have to do, you can do. Its not a lot of processing (CPU) though (compared to @Home), but its a lot of traffic
To quote the first words of the old Dune movie:
"A beginning is a very delicate time."
What we should all take responsibility for is the health and quality of the community. We should be more active citizens, instead of the passive "consumers" we've all been corporately groomed to be.
I think more instances are the answer because this activity can't be cheap. maybe Lemmy.world splits off into 2 or 4 instances. Lemmy1.world etc
This dynamic will have to stabilize in costs. I don't know what that looks like.
memes: easy as F to produce propaganda for the rich of any country to use on the poor of any other country
