Generally the fediverse on lemmy, piefed and mastodon for me … lots more out there and it’s fun to explore new branches and directions of the fediverse and the communities of people they attract.
It’s daunting, challenging, confusing and complex … but that’s the beauty of it … it feels like wandering around and exploring the early social media internet from the early 2000s and this strange feeling that its going to become a whole lot more as time goes on.
There are still plenty of websites and even news websites that either avoid this or break reader mode to prevent people from using it.
If all you want is to read 5000 words of something you were looking for … just display those 5000 words and nothing else.
We don’t need graphics, pictures, images, blocking, ads, pop-ups, videos or any other suggestions … just give us the content, it’s all we want sometimes.
Of all the people in the world that need or should have it mandatory to have round the clock public surveillance … it should be our political leaders
They claim to be working for the people … yet the people never really know what the fuck these leaders are doing
We did a little tour on our own into Germany one spring, about 20 years ago. It was only a few days, we didn’t have much money and we absolutely didn’t know what we were doing. We rented a car and just started wandering. It was just at the point of technology where GPS was still new. We didn’t have any so we just started driving with a shitty map and no clue.
We had done some traveling in other countries before and we had met several famously obnoxious German tourists. We had partly expected to meet equally arrogant Germans in their home country.
Instead we met the most open, kind hearted, brilliant people ever. Everywhere we stopped, we’d meet three or four locals who were more than happy to give directions, recommend restaurants, bars, tea shops and sites to see.
At one point we met a truck driver who gave us a ton of information and showed us a driving route on a big format ringed binder map book. When he was done talking, he left the book. We told him he was forgetting his book and he said we could have it as it had detailed updated map info of the entire country. It was an expensive book and I knew it, so I told him not to give it away. He insisted and said he didn’t mind.
I still have that map book on my shelf and whenever I see it, I think of that trip and all those people we met.
Totally loved Germany after that.
Guy in the bathroom stall: … I use Mac!
Guys and gals pissing in the hallway, lobby, parking lot, bushes, behind the building and inside the office: … we use windows 11!
My favorite part to that is to discover something for the first time, fall in love with it, think it’s the most amazing thing ever … then realize that it’s ten years old and everyone got excited about it a long time ago.
But it also means I don’t give a shit anymore and I just enjoy watching things that make me happy and interest me, instead of trying to chase after the latest fad.

Here’s a condensed version of all the books …
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
It’s a good thing people don’t act like that any more /s
You should try … ‘Oh Yeah’ by Yello
The logo for the community … CIRCLEJERK
Don’t know … I can’t afford internet credits in order to access a connection.
9/10 for your grandma … Looks like a dual boot setup … a modern fast core system with multiple speed settings on top … and an older OS that is manually operated that can be revealed from underneath (although once the power goes out, you’d have to lose the LEDs)
It sounds like you’ll fit right in … great to have you here … have fun!
I was making light of your question … partly to have a bit of fun … and partly to show that the community enjoys sharing these silly little bits of movie quotes that act like memes. The one I was using is from the movie “The Naked Gun” (the original film from 1988 with Leslie Nielson)
A lot of the meme communities enjoy old slapstick movie content as there is a lot of memeable content there … films like ‘The Naked Gun’ series, Hot Shots, any of the Mel Brooks films and Monty Python.
Don’t be afraid to test your boundaries, comment as you like but with an open mind and kind heart … people will let you know if you’ve said or implied anything negative or positive. Don’t be discouraged if you get no response either … it’s not a popularity contest. The longer you stay, the more you comment, the more you get to know people and the more they get to know you and eventually you become a regular part of the community.
Welcome to Lemmy and welcome to the fediverse.
Just you wait another few more years and I’m gonna vote so hard it’ll make your head spin
