is… is that Matt Parker!? Since when is he a meme?

Latest variant is NSFL

I’m sorry to say it, but I think you’ll find the world is upset with Americans as a whole. You really shit the proverbial bed on this one. A few people that know you personally probably isn’t a good indication of the welcome you’re going to receive en mass, especially in countries that are being explicitly targeted, like Canada. I’m not saying it’s right, I’m just saying maybe temper your expectations.

Gotta remember that line from MIB: “A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals”

I always thought it was a pluralisation of “new” as in what are the new things I should know about, or what are the “news”

“internet parents” is wholly unsearchable without some kind of proximity syntax.

If anybody is looking for a side project, build something that allows you to use advanced search syntax to search the fediverse. Please?

I’ll just leave this and this here…

Any trans person trying to get to the states right now needs to strongly reconsider.

Detecting multiple leviathan class lifeforms in the region. Are you certain whatever you’re doing is worth it?

Right now because I read this. And then I realised that I jumped a few days ago because my partner and I were talking about our floorboards, and by pure chance I jumped in the same place and it triggered that memory. But I wouldn’t have remembered it if I hadn’t read this and jumped now.

My brain: Uncomfortable image of slamming the lid shut

No no, you’re not reading it in the right tone of voice, it’s Long Live the King

Ah yes. Who hasn’t dropped a tab after a long day of work to unwind and rela…

sigh all I’m hearing is prices for every fucking thing are going to skyrocket… globally…

Do we have an equivalent of r/thattotallyhappened or whatever that sub was called?

What? I respectfully disagree. The reason I struggled to stay on Pixelfed, and recently Loops too, is because as a new user all I was seeing was classical art, and landscapes (and the odd weirdo) but nothing actually entertaining. Loops at least has people copying stuff from TikTok. I’m not condoning that behaviour, I’m just saying as a casual new user, that was pretty much the most compelling content.

Maybe I was doing it wrong, but IMHO the content creators are the core of any social media. Pixelfed and Loops will both live or die by the creators they attract

ETA: I love weirdos by the way, that wasn’t meant as a negative. If anything, more please!

We’ll figure that out later. In the mean time, lets just keep them concentrated in one place, like a resort… or camp

Unfortunately that’s not going to happen. They’re something people have become accustomed and addicted to. There’s no going back now. The only hope for combating them is to come up with something at least as compelling, but hopefully less harmful. Like vaping is to smoking. What that is though, I have no idea.

And this is why I went back to an iPod classic

I sometimes feel like that IS their plan
