Englanninkielisen Wikipedian mukaan Supolla (sillä toisella) oli joskus tämmönen tunnus käytössä.

This is some high quality trivia; it's kind of amazing that this knowledge even exists.

Communities generally spawn on whatever general purpose instance, and I'm fine with it because the only other option is usually nothing at all. Maintaining an instance takes hard work and money.

Sometimes there is enough will to spawn a specific instance. For example, rimmers have their own mbin instance. That's the exception, though.

The only encouraging thing I can say here is Be the change you wish to see. If you want an instance to exist, run it yourself!

Bad menu, had no food on it. Well, not unless you're an ai crawler.

 

The word menu translates to valikko in Finnish - valita ("to choose, select") +‎ -kko

The word menu translates to ruokalista in Finnish - ruoka (“food”) +‎ lista (“list”)

Yes, Google Maps literally calls the sidebar menu "Food List"

We have enough memes and politics and definitely US politics for three lifetimes.

Here's a bunch that I enjoyed, or wish for, or just found by browsing the community list:

I thought I had done it, but I have only played it since after it was made impossible. I guess I didn't

Big tech always caters to the lowest common denominator

 
 

I went outside to grab more wood. It was a little past midnight and so dark I couldn't see at all without my phone's flashlight. The third one from the pile buzzed very loudly in my hand. After the split second it took for me to realize I'm waving half a wasp nest on a stick while naked, I dropped everything and ran. I later investigated the other half of the hive still stuck on the wall; it was about 15 cm in diameter.
