Because I’m trying to avoid devoting mind space to things that only make me angry, I’d like to ask, is it worth looking them up? Or will they just make me lose slightly more faith in humanity?

Disregarding everything else, what’s a pod bro? Like vape pod? A fan of the dolphins? Ugly storage enthusiast?

This is potentially the grimmest perspective I’ve ever read. I don’t think you’re wrong, either.

Tony hawk gazes upon the mountains before him. The pale mountains of Switzerland, in the multilingual country of Switzerland, located near the center of Europe. The peaks before him, Swiss mountains of the country of Switzerland in a region predominantly speaking German, beckoned him. He loaded his skateboard underneath his arm and ambled toward the mass of earth that he would make his.

The journey was long and rife with Italian and German-speaking Swiss pointing out his appearance, but he broke free of their eyes and ankles and climbed to the summit. As he slid the skateboard out from beneath his sensuous arm, he awakened. In one fluid motion, he dropped and mounted the board, riding down the mountain like a man in fire, breaking the language barrier as he shrieked affirmations of his identity in hypoxic confusion. Each of his limbs were found in separate lingual regions, leading the world to posthumously dub him “Switzerland’s Exodia.”

You can’t discount the selfish and hateful as stupid as even the most vile people can be cunning. I’d agree that the median conservative would be less intelligent than the median liberal, but that discludes the folks looking to take from others their money, freedom, and time in order to enrich themselves monetarily or psychologically. Not everything can be Hanlon’s razor’d, sometimes people just enjoy sucking.

TIL worldstar is still running. Huh.

I remember my first experience with voat being a poll discussing whether they should ban child porn. The split was ~90% in favor of banning, 10% against. 10% is concerningly high.

Some context links go to entirely different comment chains as well.

It’s a safe space in the literal sense. They defederated to keep out hate speech cross contamination.

Political stability is reasonable, economy’s unstable, seems uneasy. I get curious every few years and read up.

Seems pretty usable overall, great for midsize loads and the overwhelming majority of personal projects. Given the ubiquity of untouched ultra-capacity vanity trucks, this is an actual reasonable daily driver.

Bots are ubiquitous in all of the pixel placers. Also swastikas.

Say what you want about good faith debate, which lemmy is absolutely overflowing with, but if you can’t recognize trolling then you’re wasting everyone’s time by fiddling with the hook. Naivety breeds naivety. Pointing out trolls keeps this place from descending into the Reddit fiction anthology cesspit of relationshipadvice and amitheasshole. Thank you for your post.

I can agree to see the cuteness in most things, as long as people and pets aren’t unknowingly in danger. Just trying to keep all the good boys and girls safe with, essentially, a Snapple fact.

I dunno, I get a sort of schadenfreude when Reddit fucks up bigly but I can’t say that I care enough to want to see it fail. When they screw up, the feeling isn’t so much malicious gratification but more relief at finding something better before Huffman Musked it up. Given that there’s a full community devoted to gleefully watching reddit burn, my opinion is probably in the minority. Still, glad that lemmy’s so great.

Seals are mean and dirty buggers. I still don’t know if that dog’s in danger, though.

Sincere question, is it difficult to create harvest methane from animals? Most livestock basically never sees the sun so it’s not like there’s an interminable area to harvest from, and stories of farmyard methane fires aren’t exactly uncommon so the concentration is there.

You mention downvotes? Believe it or not, reduce. You mention upvotes, also reduce. We have the best comments in the world because of reduce.

That dog is potentially standing inches away from a painful death so I’m gauging whether I should be angry.

Does anyone know how long it takes for sea lions to develop a deadly oral microbiome? Are they born with the ability to kill with a bacteria-laden nip or does it develop much later?
