  • What are the chances of two separate gender reveal parties happening simultaneously using the same exact means of displaying blue/pink in the same apartment building exactly one apartment directly above the other?

    Also, it bothers me way more than it should that on the middle one, the arrow goes from the movie frame to the window and the other two are the other way around.



  • One could make a community named “Anon Posting” or something, lock it so only a mod can post, and then make the sole mod a bot that would post anything it got via DM (probably after automoding, rate limiting, etc) to said community.

    I do think it’s a good idea for the bot to keep a log in case it gets abused for sufficiently evil purposes. One could add some extra functionality to the bot that would give identifying information about the poster to instance admins on demand (via DM), but I think instance admins would have pretty easy access to all DMs made to the bot, along with identifying information anyway. (Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong on that.)

    Also, the bot could totally delete its logs and with them the identities of all posters after a while. Maybe a month?

    And, of course, this wouldn’t be ironclad anonymity. But it would keep identities secret from anyone but the bot maintainer and instance admins.

    Yeah, sounds like a pretty cool concept. Not volunteering to write such a bot (at least any time soon) or anything, but I support it.




  • Last time I remember getting shit for using it, I was streaming on Twitch and randomly forgot the word “cliff”. Heh.

    The viewers (all two of them, lol) responded with "indubitibly"s and the “like a sir” rage faces. Lol.

    That was probably… 3 years ago? I’m sure I’ve used it at least a few times since then, but I can’t remember a specific time aside from talking about the aforementioned incident.





  • At my place of work, one project we worked on involved a lot of contractors from a place based in China. (The project was an absolute cluster-fuck all the way from soup to nuts, but that’s a story for another day.) When the project concluded, they sent our office a thank-you gift box of various Chinese snacks.

    One of the snacks was a… dried… meat… “candy”… I guess? The taste wasn’t “sweet” so much. It tasted like it had been dipped in perfume. And the texture of the meat was hard to describe. Not chewy like jerky, and it didn’t have that highly-processed Slim Jim sort of texture to it. Maybe it was sortof freeze-dried or something? I also couldn’t identify what animal the meat might have come from. (And I couldn’t read the text on the packaging.)

    I’m not sure whether it was just an acquired taste or rather a practical joke by the folks at the Chinese company. Lol.





  • Saying this as nicely as I can, you’re well out of touch with consensus reality in a way that caused unwanted disruption in the technology community. The mods took action (specifically the action of banning you) to maintain a harassment-free environment.

    And no, you don’t have any sort of sixth sense about porn addiction. Do you need help?


  • You were pushing porn addiction propaganda on people who said nothing about being addicted to anything in particular, let alone porn.

    You used to be able to say pretty much whatever you wanted on Lemmy.

    • I sense an implicit “and not be banned for it” in your statement
    • it’s not true
    • I doubt it’s been true literally anywhere ever, particularly online
    • had it been true here, it wouldn’t have been a good thing
