Considering many male reptiles have hemipenes, not all that surprising I suppose.

I’ll come haunt that bookshop for a nominal fee :D

Nah. A mattress though? You bet!

Me and like two or three other people ARE an entire niche on Lemmy. That’s both the beauty and problem with it.

Coin collecting. When you get your hands on a piece you’ve been after for years, the feeling can only be compared to getting a new toy as a kid. It’s lovely.

Reddit until two years ago, and now Lemmy. That’s honestly it.

Nope. Managed to stay off of it for my entire life so far. Reason for it was that back in '05 or a bit later one of the very first things I learned about the nascent Facebook, was Zuck’s famous “Dumb fucks” remark about his early users. I rightfully concluded that someone with such a mindset would be an absolutely plague on mankind and I would never willingly help them in any way, no matter how insignificant.

I would sooner put my nuts in an iron vice while running 10.000 volts through it and lighting it on fire than provide Facebook with anything at all.

It doesn’t matter if we defeat this one. They’ll just try again and again and again until it sticks.

Damn, Elon’s company town is barely a week old and others are already introducing scrip. I knew it was going to be inevitable but this is way faster than even I anticipated.

Several subs have automods set to autodelete any comments referencing Lemmy or links to it, not to mention the manual deletions by mods. It’s definitely being talked about, despite these attempts.

My favorite fediposter is /u/pugjesus . Strong mix of memes and actual engaging content. Also, focused on modern politics plus history. The kind of people who would’ve created the Alaxamenos graffito two thousand years ago.

My man, I’m over 40 and I have exactly 0 friends outside of my immediate family. I have an SO and child which is enough for me, but I’ve given up trying to maintain friendships outside of coworkers at work for over two decades now. I’ve never had a “best friend” in my entire life, so again, my SO fulfills that niche.

Let’s face it, in this world “acquaintances” is the best we can still hope for. No one has the time or the inclination to sacrifice anything for, well, anyone at this point.

Pros:

-Roof repairs almost finished (but it just started raining dammit)

-Got Tempest Rising & Oblivion remastered, two shadow drops of highly anticipated games

-Ordered a new videocard because my six-year old one can’t chug it no more.

Cons:

-Ran out of weed, will have to wait until next week for a fillup

-Work is boring, as always

All in all, not too shabby.

Store brand is as good or better than A-brands in about 90% of all cases.

Colitis Ulcerosa? My sympathies.

The enshittification/rent seeking continues. Nothing is sacred.

I’ve always hated Discord since the very beginning. At least now I have yet another really good reason.

Never used it, never will. Ventrilo for lyfe.

Just ignore Reddit. Pretend it doesn’t even exist. It’ll go the way of Digg soon enough.

V-coins and ma-shops are reputable and you won’t easily come across fakes there. Just stay away from Ebay and the like. Also, if you go for the affordable types (common denari or late roman bronzes) these are almost never faked since it’s not worth the effort. They cost like 5 bucks for decent pieces, maybe just a bit more if you want a nicer specimen.
