Got_Bent , to interestingasfuck in Liquid blood from 10,000-year-old mammoth (2013)

Best I can do for your mammoth blood is five bucks.

I’ve got to get it into a decorative vial, then I’ve got to store it until I find a buyer, and the market is super niche. If you had come in fifteen years ago when True Blood was all the rage, and the vampires were still out in the open, it would be a different story.

Got_Bent , to technology in Reddit enrages users again by ditching thank-you coins and awards

Lemmy should make its own awards.

Award #1 – Blackjack

Aware #2 – Hookers

Got_Bent , to youshouldknow in YSK: You can use Libreddit instead of Reddit for more privacy and no ads (and no traffic/views for Reddit)

I appreciate the concept, but I don’t even want to give Reddit page views anymore.

I’ve moved on from various platforms before, but I’ve never done so feeling so thoroughly pissed off at the platform itself. (I never had a Twitter account, or that would likely be neighbors with Reddit in this category)

Got_Bent , to world in Switzerland to become a net importer of cheese this year for the first time

This hypothesis of a Swiss cheese crisis seems to have a lot of holes in it.

Got_Bent , to fediverse in Lemmy's active users (content creators) see impressive 35% growth so far in July

So far so good but I haven’t found the blackjack and hookers yet.

Got_Bent , to workreform in Millennial and Gen Z employees are rejecting assignments, turning down offers, and seeking purpose. Here's what they expect of their employers, according to Deloitte’s latest survey

Without naming the firm, I’m a refugee from public accounting.

Back when I was a staff accountant, and we were all making roughly $60k a year, they brought us all into a meeting in the middle of busy season to discuss work/life balance and mental health.

The solution they offered?

Simply hire a full-time live in housekeeper who does laundry and cooks!

That was it. That was the meeting.

Got_Bent , to retrogaming in Ever regret selling a console? This one is my regret.

Assuming it would still work after all these years, I regret selling my Apple IIc back in the eighties. I miss those simple games and emulators just aren’t the same.

Reality is that it wouldn’t still work and all those bottom shelf floppies that I used to liberate games would have long since degraded.

Got_Bent , to nostupidquestions in Reddit users lost?

I mean it’s dead to me

Exactly. Whether or not Facebook or Reddit or Netflix or Twitter survive, thrive, or perish is irrelevant to me.

What matters is that they won’t profit off my data, they won’t sell any ads from my activity, and they won’t get a penny more of subscription money out of me.

If others wish to continue diving down those rabbit holes, that’s on them.

Got_Bent , to world in New record set for world's hottest day - as scientist warns milestone is a 'death sentence'

I particularly enjoyed this:

Outer space is a lot higher up than Niagara Falls,[citation needed]

Got_Bent , to RedditMigration in Reddit braces for life after API changes

I think what pisses me off the most is that no matter what happens, Spez will somehow walk away with enough of that sweet, sweet CEO money to fund my life several generations over and will probably get another sweet, sweet CEO position somewhere else to destroy another company because he’s got “experience”.

Got_Bent , to mildlyinfuriating in Thanks, I hate it! (image description inside)

I destroyed thirteen years of comment and post history. Is there any reason I should further maintain my account? I’m asking because if there’s something more I can do to screw with their site via my account, I’m all ears.

Got_Bent , to showerthoughts in I see Reddit going down the same path as Facebook. A ad-ridden platform without the young and savvy, full of boomers posting bad memes and politics.

I’m GenX and find myself slowing migrating away from the internet entirely as it relates to social interaction and entertainment.

I still need it for bill paying and whatnot, but I’ve grown exhausted from the ubiquitous hate and vitriol of users and the ever increasing greed and attempts at overall control of my existence from the platforms.

I’m starting to feel like some crazy anti government prepper, but towards the Internet and corporations rather than the government.

Got_Bent , to fediverse in Done with Twitter and Reddit

I got on here at some point last week and the content has already increased like crazy. The first couple days it was the same five posts talking about Reddit.

Now I’m seeing a lot of content in a lot of different communities.

Got_Bent , to mildlyinfuriating in The price of a cinema ticket in this day and age. No wonder people aren't going to the cinema anymore.

The last time I went to a movie was whatever year Once Upon a Time in Hollywood came out. I honestly don’t even know where or if a theater is located anymore.

I’m glad my daughter is an adult because we still had the second run dollar theaters when she was little. So… Many… Animated… Movies

I’m about to go completely devoid of simulation. I cut cable in 2009, just cancelled Netflix, will not renew Amazon Prime (there appears to be an all or nothing refund for cancelling mid-year and I’m in the morning category), just left Reddit, deleted Facebook years ago, never had Instagram, Twitter, tic-tac, or any other social media.

The only thing that’s still worth anything to me is Spotify, and I won’t be surprised if they pull some shitty shenanigans in the near future.
