This explanation has pictures, and I learned me a thing or two from it!
Here's a (grainy, blurry) screenshot, if you don't feel like clicking away to read the comment in its original glory:
Is that why they use tú for God?
Sidenote: I hate when people refer to women by their first names and men by their lasts. Would it be so difficult to call it the Harris campaign?
It would be great if it could become a virtually universal social media eventually, but for its quirks to be understood by everyone, some critical mass of first adopters must understand the fediverse. So I think the fediverse will self-select for technically knowledgeable people at first before eventually becoming accessible to the public, not by any fault of its own but by virtue of having been around long enough and grown enough of a community to attract the average person from traditional social media.
I also think there are different instances and communities for people with different priorities. People interested in the ideas behind the fediverse can congregate on lemmy.ml (because that's where Lemmy's developers are, right?) and in FLOSS communities, etc., while people looking for a social network that won't use them for profit can flock to region-specific instances, etc.

Why would you ~~pipe~~ edit: redirect neofetch into your .bashrc?
Don't mess around with partitions on your disk when it's past midnight, you're extremely stressed, and you don't have (easily accessible) backups.
Off the top of my head, I think something in traditional European beliefs said that the soul was at risk of flying out of the nose when one sneezed. Hence people would say "bless you" in case you died and were at risk of otherwise falling into hell.
(Edit:) This vaguely supports my memory: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_bless_you#Origins_and_legends
Yeah, it was attempted cultural genocide. Some of the older generations have a Japanese name from when parents were forced to give their babies Japanese names and not speak Korean.
By feel I can identify 20 lb, 24 lb, 28 lb, 65 lb cover, 110 lb cover, and 12 pt matte paper. I'm increasingly impressed by people's business cards as a result, as it is often much, much heavier than 12 pt matte.
Using comparison I can distinguish 80 lb semi-gloss cover, 100 lb semi-gloss cover, 8 pt gloss, 10 pt gloss, and 12 pt gloss. (But then again, most people could, given multiple choices rather than a free-response question.)
How would people function without knowing this?? Maybe I'm just young, but this has been a thing as far back as I can remember (maybe 2010 or so), on all browsers I've used (Safari, Chrome, Firefox).
It's not a good idea to put any sort of identity on your car since people don't generally think nice things about the drivers they see on the road with them. One of my friends refuses to put a Jesus fish bumper sticker in case she cuts someone off or something and they get mad at God.
