The information would probably be delivered raw into our minds. We’d just know what time it is, what the weather will be, who’s calling us and what the news are saying, without having to process the information.

Self hosted instances
I am considering creating my own lemmy instance as my current instance (lemmy.world) is often down, and I enjoy this kind of a project.

They Cloned Tyrone is amazing
The trailer sold me so much I went to purchase a Netflix sub which is something I don’t do because I think Netflix sucks, but I wanted to support what I believed was to be great. And it really is great. I wish Netflix enabled purchase per-item so I could just buy what I want to clearly signal to them what to invest into....

Anyone have experience with buying on eBay?
I bought a “Buy It Now” item, payment went through. Two days later, I got an email saying I got a refund. I looked at the order and I looks like I indeed got a full refund. There are no notes or messages from the seller, so I’m not really sure what happened. Should I message the seller? Report that I haven’t received the...
