Sex toys aside, that's a great logo and I'd be proud of any graphic designer that made that

Seems like a good way to get smited, naming random (probably evil) energy that came from nowhere space (but not the sun) after the head goddess of Shintoism. Maybe Susanoo or Orochi would have kept the theme while not angering a top tier god.

The epic of Gilgamesh was written in Akkadian like 2000bc. Old English would be more like Beowulf.

Jesus was a carpenter so he might start building a house.

Besides that, in Jewish culture life starts at first breath and the bible literally has a recipe for abortion in it (not a very good one and it's around wildly sexist context but it is there)

Tangentially related, but I've been feeling like perhaps we've been jumping the gun with Lemmy and Kbin...

Maybe it would have made more sense, at least from an interoperability statepoint, to make an activitypub User protocol that can be selfhosted easily. So instead of making a new account for each Lemmy or Kbin instance someone has, you can instead connect your activitypub account to it.

Additionally as I know hosting has been an increasing problem around here, perhaps it would have been better to make instances single focused message boards ( i.e. just political humor, just animemes, just 196 etc.) So that the instance host can more easily manage moderation and hosting costs without ballooning things they might not necessarily care about to also be hosted by them.

This is just idle musings though, I'm not sure of how the community would be receptive to such thoughts.

Bit flips occur when a posse of electrons loses an intimidation check to the sun.

I find this hilarious.

The more that climate change continues we will see more and more extremes of weather. So cold places might get colder and hot places hotter, as well as more extreme/frequent storms. It's not a super great time for the environment

I was thinking about it more as the "sword of dieting" because it should tell you when you're actually hungry, not just bored or whatever, and will stop glowing when your hunger has been properly satiated so you know when to stop eating!

This also applies to coding! And I'm not currently dreading the fact I keep thinking of more and more convoluted solutions to my problem at work at all!

Is this some new lingo that's streets ahead?
