Oh no! What did we do?
Three Body Problem
Trying not to spoil it but this is a plot point in a relatively famous, relatively recent sci-fi book, where the characters need to record a warning that lasts for millennia. They end up carving it into the rock of Pluto since all other data mediums would fail over that timespan.
Looking for new mods! Apply within
I can't spend the time here that this community really needs, so I am looking for another mod or two to add to the team. We've got one other mod right now who is great but another couple to step in and be active in the community would be great. Let me know why you'd make a great mod below!
Is this.... a reasonable take on LinkedIn? wow
hello, mod here! I'm not that active on Lemmy these days so if you want to take over this community and migrate it elsewhere then that would be fine. I keep an eye out for reports etc but I don't really post here anymore.
Given there are already 5k subs here, I would say it makes more sense to add active moderators rather than try and move the community.
I also recall we advertised for more mods recently and didn't get much response, so really what we need is a very active mod willing to build up this community. If moving to another instance is the best way to do that, great.
the reviewers spanked
likely not much of a punishment for these perverts
Is this a microblog post?
French vampires
Catstrey @CatstreyDave
To kill a French Vampire you need to drive a baguette through its heart. Sounds easy but the process is painstaking.

Why do you think they do? Logically think it through.
Market sharen and incumbent advantage. Ease of adoption (or appearance of). Ubiquity and lack of need to retain. Predatory behaviour by MS. Different priorities for users.
Unless you actually consider the real reasons why Windows is so widespread you'll never make a dent in it.

Posting this to make up for accidentally posting a dog whistle earlier. Oops
Small Talk
I will delete this post and replace it with one about the dog whistle.
Small Talk
What the fuck! I thought it was just a cute post about small talk being mostly about boring patterns like the weather and recent sports results.
I didn't miss anything
Unbeelievable
@LegoRacers2
You can't expect me to believe there is a race of creatures living in well-ordered homes who spend all day making candy while their evil counterpart hides out in menacing fortresses that augur only destruction
it's borderline but I think this is allowed
Eating gizzard sounds offal to me
What? Explain yuself
What's your radical opinion?
Populism Updates @PopulismUpdates Tell me your most radical position that cannot be placed on the left-right political spectrum
Admiral Snaccbar @Chris Mench Serving shrimp with the tail still on when it's already mixed into something (pasta, rice, etc) is insane.
Oh that is tasty
Totally agree about the offside rule. It's so boring when attacking play is ruined on a technicality based on a three pixel attacking advantage. Totally misses the point.
Thanks but with two now that is enough! If the community grows we'll come back out for another in the future.
Looking for new mods for this Community
Hey all, I've not been putting as much time into Lemmy as I thought I would, so I'm requesting applications for new mods! There isn't really anything to do in terms of reactive moderation, there's almost never any reports etc, but a proactive approach to growing the community, encouraging posts, and all that sort of thing would be great.
Let me know below if you are interested!
Hey folks, the report button is not a 'mega downvote'
Just a reminder that reporting posts you don't like (or that you disagree with, or that are disagreeing with you) but that do not break any rules is a waste of my time and yours. Downvote and move on. Repeat offenders will be banned.

Disco Inferno

I was told recently about a school that was shamed into changing its school motto.
The motto was "l hear, I see, I learn" Nothing wrong with that per se. Unfortunately the motto was in Latin, and the Latin for "l hear, I see, I learn" is "audio, video, disco

What the f ck that's the best school motto ever change it back

Your yearly reminder that "l learn through suffering" can be translated into Latin as "Disco Inferno"

Installing a bidet at home was life changing but unfortunately it's transformed pooping on company time from a small proletarian victory into yet another grueling humiliation of inadequate working conditions.
Dedicated button

Imagine there being a website so popular that game console manufacturers put a dedicated button on their controllers to take and post screenshots and then you fuck the website up so much that they disable it
