Imagine if they did their national divorce bullshit. California, New York, Washington. Some serious economies (Silicon Valley, Wall Street, Redmond (Microsoft) and Amazon. All our tax dollars subsidizing the funding of their welfare programs would be gone and they'd whither and get taken over by Mexico.

Took a 2h road trip to go whale watching and observed tons of Georgia, Texas, Ohio license plates at the hotel. Why they would drive across the country to hang out with us commie satanists is completely beyond me. I wanted to tell them to get tf out of my state.

“Once again, California is trying to enact a policy that negatively impacts the rest of the country. If California goes unchecked, consumers will be forced to pay more for basic necessities,” Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers, who led the coalition, said in a news release.

Once again, we will drag you into the future because we're the fourth largest economy in the world and laws that we pass force compliance in other states. You can thank us for regulating the market ahead of the rest of the country. And backwater red states can suffer the progress inflicted upon them while allowing Elon to poison their constituents with gas powered generators and disenfranchising voters.

You're fucking welcome.

Insanity. Those are all things I want to look at later.

Sexually assaulting, murdering children, taking selfies in ladies' lingerie like a bunch of perverts.

Flying toasters.

Yeah, but I'm glad we're not burning electricity on those anymore. Screensavers were fun at the time, but putting the displays to sleep is the better practice.

Because reddit cutoff API access to third-party apps.

When Trump said that Oakland was "like living in hell" in 2020, I researched and wrote a scathing rebuke and defense of my beautiful city in a super angry email to friends and family. Buddy suggested removing the vulgarities (I was super angry) and submitting it to a local paper. I have my dopey op-ed framed above my desk and sent copies of the paper to each of the people who I'd emailed to begin with. Very proud of my tiny achievement.

My asshole mother lives in Kansas and voted to make those kids hungry. Our relationship ended because of it. Fucking shitheaded fox news voter.

I think Pringles' original intention was to make tennis balls... but on the day the rubber was supposed to show up, a truckload of potatoes came. Pringles is a laid-back company, so they just said "Fuck it, cut em up!"

I hope this is the right place to ask:

My inbox was reset to 9 months ago. I had a ton of unread messages that are gone. Are settings that I applied (subscribing to channels, blocking trolls (almost never cause I disagree with blocking), other customization) before the site went offline lost / need manual updates?

Let's go, Lemmy SDF!

So happy we're back! (self.sdfpubnix)

I just randomly kept trying this site whenever I thought of it. I'm so happy it's back. I paused / gave up on Lemmy cause I didn't want to create a new profile on an instance that blocks others or otherwise isn't open. I love you, SDF!

 

Contributed to the storage fund. After a couple of weeks, I genuinely thought the site wouldn't come back. I'm so happy!

  • my instance went offline last month due to storage issues. i've been off lemmy because i'm instance-loyal (sounds stupid, but i like where i am and i don't like decisions some other instances made)

I can't find a community that feels like the right place to say this, so forgive me. I'm winging it.

It's amazing to me that we can still find new heavenly bodies within our own solar system in 2025. Not to mention the possibility that we have data that suggests there might be yet another beyond Pluto, but that's still speculative.

Science: one of the only topics that doesn't suck in 2025.

Mark Rober is the Glitter Bomb guy. This has potential.

“What's really interesting about humans and their ancestors is we're a technologically dependent species,” Finestone said. “We rely on tools. We're obligate tool users. We don't do it opportunistically or occasionally the way that a lot of other animals use tools. It's really become ingrained in our way of life, in our survival, and our foraging strategies across all people and all cultures.”

The study of early hominins (our cousins) and the many branches in the path of our evolution is easily my favorite area of science. This topic is evergreen, with new discoveries every year that frequently upend our understanding of the landscape. Dinos and the like are fave number two.
