Confusing… My instance is .world, and I similarly subscribe to communities regardless of instance. So seeing a .ml link had me go 🚨 tankie instance for a second, conveniently failing to notice that A: that post is in .world, but seem from .ml; and B: this post is in .ml.

My bad 😅

Though I would suggest OP to see if they can fix the link to one that changes the specific link based on the visitor’s instance

I once saw a video report on bullshit jobs, where they also interviewed a researcher into how much value is gained or destroyed by various professions.

They said that for every £1 (the researchers worked in the UK) given to marketing executives, that society suffered £11 in lost value.

ETA: The video in question (Dutch, with a few local English bits)

There’s a city in France - Toulouse, IIRC EDIT: Correction: it is Grenoble - where the mayor ran on a promise that “if you elect me, I’ll remove all the billboards.” Turns out that was really popular, so now that city does not have any billboards.

ETA: A video about it. (Dutch, but it has (auto-generated) English subtitles)

Especially given that the above link points to lemmy.ml, an instance notorious for harbouring tankies & amplifying pro-authoritarian talking points.

The link is .ml but points to a thread in .world. My bad 😅

How to admit you’re in an unhappy marriage without saying you’re in an unhappy marriage, much?

*badum...* Y’know, no, this is so terrible, I will not finish the rimshot.

I’ve blocked one page that’s posting mostly in Russian, one page that’s posting mostly in Croatian, and beyond that a number of overrepresented, locally US centric ones. About stuff like the NFL or the Bay Area.

That would mean that instead of an engine, you’re lugging around a battery pack, which is just as heavy while giving you a fraction of the range of an engine. Not to forget that battery cells have only a finite lifespan.

Meanwhile, OHLE gives you infinite range and room for major weight savings. Plus you can keep running the same power system for decades.

WAR! HOO!
What is it good for?! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING MAKING FRIES TASTY!

Tbh, I prefer Special, which is just the mayo, onions and curry sauce or ketchup.

Shoarma or döner kebab, cheese, garlic sauce, a bit of sriracha or sambal, and some greens.

Or if I’m feeling simple, mayo and a bit of mustard.

May all animals you try to pet run away from you in fear.

Because you made a seemingly insightful response to what I’m pretty sure is sketch comedy.

… Are you sure I am the one you wanted to make this response to?

Hell if I know, but it came from The Hole^TM

My daily rn is a laptop running Win 10.

I have the parts for a new rig, I’m thinking of running Mint on that.

I was today years old when I learned that that is a feature in my phone keyboard (⁠✷⁠‿⁠✷⁠)

Thanks, kind stranger

Fair. Iron Maiden was low-hanging fruit that I had ready in my mind. Some bands can go quite a lot more gruesome, from even more deathly scenes to… Well… THAT Black Metal album cover.

The first example that popped to my mind:

My mind immediately goes to gruesome metal album covers. Iron Maiden has some stuff with decaying flesh, exposed bones, and a ton of other stuff that makes the faint of heart go:

But those on the inside to go “heck yeah 🤘”
