I cringe in horror at the idea of children using stainless steal straws. There’s so much potential for horrible accidents.

Church tithing doesn’t count as donating to charity, IMHO.

I don’t think that’s how it works

That’s a more recent phenomenon. These folk were retiring just as that culture was taking off.

Extraordinary classic fantasy books provided ignition for inspired creativity.

Caveman like enough?

Lol, older millenials never saw the early internet experience. UUCP, FTP, Gopher, Mosaic, et al.

Boomer, here. The fediverse is the first thing I’ve seen that has the potential to replace the old USENET (also a federated system). Unfortunately, Lemmy has similar weaknesses/vulnerabilities to USENET which was destroyed by SPAM, high resource (compute, bandwidth, admin time…), and an influx of newbs (AoL).

Like reddit, Lemmy discourages long lived threads, which is unfortunate. But the longer Lemmy remains the home of linux geeks, the better, IMHO. I don’t have a burning need to see the newest pop culture memes.

Choosing an instance is no more confusing than choosing an email provider. I signed up on several right away. I figured I’d stick with the one I liked best, but since they all run the same software it makes little difference. One instance lost its domain, another is constantly being DOSed. Otherwise it’s simple.

I gotta disagree with you on one point: Facebook was never cool.

Unfortunately, there’s not enough of them even 8f they do disproportionately more harm.

How do you feel about i am actually chatbots?

Yo. Zz-up?

So it’s basically Reddit NFTs.

Nah, it can’t be an NFT with a cringy picture of an anthropomorphic animal and/or Trump attached.

Block chain is still a really cool solution in search of a problem to solve. Money wasn’t it. NFTs isn’t it. What is? Sports betting, maybe?

Are you saying that this doesn’t sound like ??? to you?

The AI was trained of Reddit comments, so what do you expect?

Besides, block chain us yesterday’s fad. Today’s is AI.

Republicans are a dog that loves to chase cars. They finally caught one and now they are getting dragged under its wheels.

People who use internet attached email to send classified information shouldn’t be allowed near classified information.

No wounds, just ask where people might know the answer. You wouldn’t ask people in Seattle what the current weather is in Atlanta.
