Trees are air roots.
It is fascinating how the crown is a universal symbol of authority and power, almost all cultures had coronation ceremonies despite some of them never having had contact with the rest of the world.
Paywalls aren’t a new thing for journalism. Newspaper delivery fees were a paywall.
The point of the book is that Frankenstein IS the monster.
I'm so conditioned by ads on social media that I automatically inspect Lemmy posts when I'm browsing.
I’m getting better at it though.
The main difference I've noted so far between lemming and Reddit is that in lemming people seem to know when to write it's or its.
If you ask someone "why?" enough about a subject you don't agree on, eventually both of you will come to a conclusion
Many hold strong beliefs and opinions, however not many know the roots of their belief. If a person agrees to explore it, both of you will learn something new and fascinating. The problem is finding someone who wants to think and ask the questions. This goes for both. Many want to “convince” someone, but how much do you...
"You're almost completely covered" can mean two very different things at the doctor's office.
(Assuming you have shitty American insurance, anyway)
I think I would take monarchy over whatever this corpo hellscape is. At least a monarch can be overthrown. How can you overthrow a multi-national corporation?
Biblically, each generation is respected less and less
So, I had a really weird train of thought....
when you smell something, that thing is slowly dissolving
Like a very slow alka-seltzer
due to the curvature of the Earth a really long building can't have walls that are both parallel and level.
Aparently, I’ve conflated Level with Plumb, the walls cannot be parallel and plumb. Due to the curve, the center of gravity for the walls would require them to angle in slightly together or not be plumb.
Hopping and running are the same thing. Except alternating feet.
Imagine Lemmy becoming so popular it drives Reddit to support ActivityPub or go extinct
Reddit would become compatible with Lemmy essentially making it it’s own “instance”, and suddenly 3rd party apps work with Reddit again....
A corn dog and a hot dog are just American versions of taco and burrito.
We should start saying "Thanks /u/spez" from now on as reddits bad practices made us move to lemmy
Title said it all
When Reddit gives you lemons, make Lemmynade
When Threads eventually will not federate, the same people that urged to deferderate in advance, and thus remove the point of being ActivityPub compatible, will be the same to complain.
I wonder how often Gary Gygax just rolled a D20 to make life decisions (lemmy.world)
Giving money to gypsies results in supporting their business model and strategy
In DBZ, Frieza is never shown with a butthole even though he’s always shown without clothes
Start saying "tock-tick-tock-tick" repeatedly and you somehow end up saying "tick-tock-tick-tock"
You have an unique perspective of your feet.
There are different types of showers…
Normal...
