Kind of like how it took decades for us to figure out to put wheels on luggage. I’m sure there are tons of things waiting to be invented that people will look back on us eventually and wondering what took us so long to figure out something so obvious.

Not gonna lie, it brought a smile to my face when you were sitting in your house on a cool spring day, reading a somewhat plausible but lengthy story about a captivating subject. Then you got a slight suspicion that this story almost seemed too good. Too perfect for the situation. How could this random person on the Internet have such a great story about being a snake charmer, a stunt pilot, or whatever. Then it hits you just like when back in nineteen ninety eight the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.

Do you have the problem where it doesn’t mark posts as read? I started having that 8 months ago and haven’t been able to use it since. It drives me insane!

I’ve been on sh.itjust.works for the last couple of years. The admins are cool as hell. Highly recommend.

You don’t look in your neighbor’s bowl to see if you have as much beans as them. The only time you should look in your neighbor’s bowl is to make sure that they have enough beans.

I know right?!

I actually didn’t mind paying a monthly subscription to Sync for Lemmy, just to support the developer. He was super responsive at first and immediately fixed a comment sorting issue that I reported in his community.

Then he ghosted for a while and came back with a slew of updates. So I had hope that he would do the same again. Eventually after not being able to use Sync for a few months, I canceled my subscription. Would be glad to take it up again if he ever comes back and fixes it!

Nah, actually I did because 4chan was my replacement for the interim (-_-⁠メ⁠)

Glad you survived.

my neighbors are trekkies and Linux, as a fan of windows and star wars

Made this a couple weeks ago for you

Glad to be of assistance, homie

Lol one of the comments was:

first day on lemmy, and this is the shit i see right off the bat. I found my reddit replacement.

I felt exactly the same way

Lack of sports content is a bit of a rough spot for Lemmy. This is one of the few places where Linux memes get substantially more engagement than a super bowl thread.

Side note, the superb owl community here is pretty great.

Sync for Lemmy is ok, but the dev stopped responding about 8 months ago and it’s got a bug that makes it completely unusable for many people.

Lol relevant user name

Lol same here. Jesus that whole site is atrocious now.

Lol pretty much

In 2013, the crater’s flame intensity and temperatures were at its recorded peak. At the same time, renowned Canadian explorer, George Kourounis, became the first – and only – person to enter the crater wearing a full heat-reflective Kevlar/Nomex suit and a firefighter’s Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) to provide oxygen. He descended to the 752 °F (400 °C) crater floor and retrieved soil samples. Scientists later found extremophile bacteria living in the scorched earth samples Kourounis provided.

Wtf that’s the craziest part of this story!
