  • This is a full book and not just the cover for fun and giggles!

    In The Stray Shopping Carts of Eastern North America author Julian Montague has created an elaborate classification system of abandoned shopping carts, accompanied by photographic documentation of actual stray cart sightings. These sightings include bucolically littered locations such as the Niagara River Gorge (where many a cart has been pushed to its untimely death) and mundane settings that look suspiciously like a suburb near you.

    Working in the naturalist’s tradition, the photographs depict the diversity of the phenomenon and carry a surprising emotional charge; readers inevitably begin to see these carts as human, at times poignant in their abandoned, decrepit state, hilariously incapacitated, or ingeniously co-opted. The result is at once rigorous and absurd, enabling the layperson to identify and classify their own cart spottings based on the situation in which they were found.
















  • When you think about it with 3 instances, it’s fun and strange.

    Imagine 3 instances. lemmy.world / beehaw.org / lemmy.dbzer0.com.
    Now call them A, B and C.

    Now A and B defederates.
    Accounts on A can’t see content published on B anymore. And can’t publish on these “forums” (communities/magazines…)
    And accounts on B can’t see content published on A anymore. And can’t publish on these forums.

    However, an account on C can see everything and publish anywhere !

    You should consider your account as a passport. The instance/country delivering you the passport is important, since it gives you permissions/visas. If everyone in your instance is behaving like shit, your instance will be defederated and you’ll loose permissions/visas to be able to browse other instances.
