How did I just notice that the upside-down version of “up” is “dn” which could be seen as an abbreviation of “down”?

No, it’s an edited shitpost of the neo-Nazi’s comic. He did not coin the term.

Remember: this didn’t happen.

Damn, and you almost picked the cool, not tankie kind of communism too.

Veganism. I went vegetarian and stayed there for a long time, and I assumed taking the extra step to being vegan would be too difficult relative to what I thought at the time was a marginal benefit. A couple years back, I watched the documentary Dominion (NSFL) and realized pretty quickly that I’d been mistaken. Of course it was more than just Dominion, but it’s such an acutely traumatizing kick in the teeth that it was definitely the last straw.

Is there such a community here? Maybe you could start one.

Haha, yup, you’re right; had a brain fart.

Parents killing reaping their zombie children was a favorite one of mine.

SingStar Splenic Flexure

inb4 one of these gets improperly installed and gives someone an existential crisis (still looks pretty and useful for the directionally challenged, though!)

Who’s manually wiping with this when they could be using the attachment that pokes the brush out and then rotates it?

Only $10,000 more until the trash build quality sort of matches the price.

Hey, listen here, we don’t allow this kind of dangerous, abusive advice on this platform, and I’ve reported this comment. A cat is an obligate beanitarian, and by feeding it a diet of bananas, you’re slowly killing it, despite claiming to care about the wellbeing of animals and non-banana plants. If you have an ethical problem with beans, don’t own a cat; it’s that simple.

From now on, we at /c/vegan will promote a strictly banana-based diet in humans. Fruitarians will be tolerated, but only to the extent that they take steps toward removing other fruits from their diet. /s

Not really. In terms of engaging with posts, oh my god, absolutely it’s worse. Twitter and its clones suck when it comes to engaging with things people post (but Mastodon at least makes it a bit better by increasing the character limit). But there’s just something different about following a hashtag versus following a Lemmy community. Like for example, when it comes to getting highly detailed, up-to-the-minute news about things, Mastodon beats Lemmy every time. Additionally, I can see people’s random, one-off takes that wouldn’t really warrant a post on Lemmy.

I would argue too that it’s not even true that you should just be focused on following hashtags, but rather that you should be trying to do both.

To me, Lemmy is the type of place I could kill two hours; for Mastodon, it’s maybe 15 minutes, but that doesn’t make it inferior, just a different use-case. It’s pretty apples-to-oranges.

Quick, someone post “Cascade” from Homestuck and bring down the entire fediverse.

Absolutely! And what I ran down is just the extent of the features I personally interact with; there are a fair few more, including one that aims to combat clickbait by changing clickbaity titles.

FYI, SponsorBlock isn’t just for skipping sponsored segments. SB gives you granular control over the sorts of sections you can skip, and it only auto-skips sponsors by default. However:

• There are several categories of section, including intro animation/intermission (“an interval without actual content”), preview (i.e. where the information already exists later in the video), sponsor (a segment made in return for payment from a third party), unpaid/self-promotion (e.g. “buy my merch”), interaction reminder (e.g. “remember to like and subscribe”), and endcards/credits. (There’s also “filler tangent/jokes”, but I haven’t tried this one.)
• For each of these categories, you can choose to disable altogether, show in the seek bar, prompt to manually skip, or auto skip.

So even if you would never want to skip a sponsored segment in your life, the extension still saves a ton of time if you have no/limited interest in watching even just one of the above-listed categories.

I was definitely pretty blown away by the brilliance of the 15 straight minutes of dialog on the ethics of sentient AI child soldiers between Reasonable Blackman and Hot Coldman in the Peace Walker DLC.
