Some bloke that likes music, anime, weird interesting things, free media and anything i can put my hands on. Sort-of a jack of all trades (yet master of a few of them)
I like this fediverse thingy, been on and off there since august 2022, but i'm looking to go back there more often as a treat

i wonder what y'all have to say about this
what the fuck is this from what movie is this it's so weird
lol i know it was just a saying
aha yeah, wanted to make it somewhat similar to it's reddit original so any people switching from reddit to lemmy that were frequent users of absoluteunits are familiar to where to find the community

Albums in a Nutshell - Albums shitposts
Here i present [email protected]. It consists of shitposts of albums made up of two things
- a badly drawn verison of the album cover
- funny descriptions of the album track names
for example(s)
This is pretty much it, hope you enjoy shitposting albums
PS: it's a bit empty at the moment, but you can start posting, the premise is simple enough it should be easy to get onto
well absolute units is it's own version, and yeah it's stated in the rules that posting fat people as absolute units is not allowed (except celebrities, but i'm looking to change that rule and making it banned in general)
Absolute Units - things bigger than normally expected
I present to you all [email protected], a community themed around very big things that are bigger than one might expect. An unofficial clone of the subreddit r/AbsoluteUnits. It didn't exist Lemmy surprisingly, so here it is.
Basically, an absolute unit is either an animal, a person, an object or anything else that is bigger than it's usually expected, like a very big vegetable, a very big dog, a very big building and so on, basically anything that can be very big. Here is a more detailed explanation.
Basically if you ever encountered something bigger than normal you can post it there.
Have fun! Hope you like it!
i made my own version, there's not much right now but you can post there if you want!
i did, go take a look
What would this guy's name most likely be
oh okay, thanks for the info!
yeah this, a lot of subreddits i followed didn't have an alternative on lemmy, so i did what others did as well and made my own version of the subreddit here on lemmy. if anything this makes sense, if we want lemmy and the threadiverse in general to be a true alternative to the social media giant that reddit is, we have to recreate the communities which many redditors called home so that it's a lot easier for them to switch there for good, although i don't mean recreating reddit social wise, aka reddit's userbase, but rather the environment and ecosystem of communities that reddit has, and that makes reddit a social hotspot for the world wide web. yeah it sounds impossible, but if enough users get together we might be able to get close to reddit's position, which could be a powerful place to be in
thanks, means a lot ❤
thank you!!!!!
Absolute Units on Lemmy
Yeah you read the title right, i created an unofficial clone of the r/AbsoluteUnits subreddit, in an attempt to make it the home for it in the threadiverse.
The premise is simple: an absolute unit is something, either an animal, person or object, that is really large, way more large than someone would expect. Things like massive dogs, buildings, statues, and the like. Basically, anything that can be bigger than it usually is, is an absolute unit. In the rules there’s a link to a more detailed explanation.
So yeah! it’s pretty simple. If you have a picture or a video of something larger than normal, you can share it there!
Hope you like it!!
but come on, it's not like they're modern videogames or something, they're old stuff from the 80s and 90s that one would never be able to play without access to the original hardware, so even in that case it's about preserving the media, not committing plain copyright infringement to the original game publisher or something
thank you so much, you're doing god's work
saw this at the mall, couldn't believe my fucking eyes
Lemmy version of r/notinteresting
hey everyone, i present to you [email protected], an attempt to recreate the chaos that is r/notinteresting but here on Lemmy.
Basically how it works, you post something that is seemingly uninteresting but you sneak in a tiny little detail that makes it more intriguing, but the point is to act like it's nothing at all, while the people in the comments get weirded out trying to understand what's going on in your image
it's not really an exact explanation since it's very hard to put to words, so if you want a better understanding of what i mean I'd suggest you visit the original subreddit so you understand better what i intend to say.
wanted to try this since it was tried before here on lemmy.world but it never took of, so I'm looking to try my own attempt to make this idea more popular on the threadiverse
hope you like it!
The Internet Archive needs your help, seriously
Yet again the Internet Archiving is suffering big this time, a coalition of major record labels filed a lawsuit against the Internet Archive demanding $700 million for the extensive catalog of 78 rpm records. 78s are sometimes more than a century old at this point and i bet a lot of them are out of copyright, but i suppose for the few that still are majors are hitting it big towards the IA
This lawsuit is pretty much another existential threat to the Internet Archive and everything it preserves, including the Wayback Machine, and we're fucked if we ever lose access to the Wayback Machine.
the original article asked to sign a petition, but i think a more logical way to support is to donate them directly so that they have more money to better defend themselves in court in this and other cases they'll undoubtedly face in the future
I'd say the second one is more correct, it sounds so weird pronouncing the digits singularly
