I don’t agree with this network access take. A lot of endangered cultures are simply being assimilated.

I was in a casual quiz in Hong Kong recently and one of the questions required us to know a language with less than 100 speakers. The default answer the quizzers had expected was Macanese Patuá. That sort of regional dialect existed in such a restricted set of conditions and between two different pressures to remove it (between Cantonese and Portuguese), that globalization simply drowned it out.

Hmmmm…

Nothing wrong here.

I find PvP games with unlockables and grindables to be the opposite of a good time.

Literally any doomer mentality is generally considered unpopular the more you elaborate on it. Even if it starts popular.

For example: I would like to explain why I think we need less people. That sounds agreeable. We need less people urgently tho. It’s the fundamental, foundational reason behind a large part of the world’s problems. That is still… somewhat… agreeable, But… But. But but… solving it? And there we go, because see, there’s only three methods to actually achieve it, and every single one of them will get people mad about this thing called “human rights” if we deem any of method worth trying.

So yeah, we’re doomed. Humanity is going to land on a critical point of failure in 300 years.

What’s with the boomer humor tier jokes?

The joke is literally wifebad. That’s 60’s newspaper novelty. People have lived whole lives and died since these jokes were new.

There’s a slight gotcha here:

I’m in Asia and a lot of traditional chinese medicine you can buy is just regular medicine with a marketing disguise hiding the fact. Why yes, this is a box of whatever the fuck extract, very interesting, old northern recipe to cure the shit, let me just check what’s written on this paper, and, yep, there it is, it’s just Loperamide but with an additive to make it taste like Ginseng. Got it.

Which one do you abide by? Maybe the mozilla one or perhaps caniuse?

Seriously, 10 years ago, the best way to find any info on a video game was to go on gamefaqs, ign guides, the steam community or a dedicated wiki.

Nowadays, it objectively still is the exact same, but google will give results for NONE OF THEM unless if you specify. There’s a truckload of those SEO garbage.

I’m over 40 and finding wands in Noita fills me with joy.

“So, this one homes on enemies, has triple cast and delayed explosions… Hmmm, but what does orbital and bouncy do together?”

*shoots near beehive*

>Entire screen explodes

And I just restart the game with a grin. I feel like that game made what actual magic would be. Starting the game by silently teaching us about the dangers of fire was a stroke of genius. It’s always fire with magic, just weirder, bigger and wilder types of fire, and both me and my enemies don’t command it, we simply live in a world with it. Nothing but a video game could make me experience this. Nothing but a video game could generate near endless amounts of endlessly unlearnable amounts of raging wildfires to be amused by.

This is just another reminder that reddit didn’t start its life with comments. Reddit was just the links at first, comments came later, and yes, the first comment was complaining about there being comments and how the site would be ruined.

He deserves Musk.

We literally split the atom and with it, came up with the cleanest and cheapest way to support a large chunk of our energetic needs.

Then some people did a big boom with it, and then a cartoon decided to draw it as green rods of evil energy, and there, the entire world decided to stop using it. And we’ve not started doing it again properly for several decades, all while we uproot carbon off the biosphere and the ground and into the air so we can boil ourselves to a climatic disaster.

Aliens would find nothing worth respecting.

It is quite a weird thread. I’m seeing a lot of people saying Sync is the best, and honestly, it might be, but the logic that the others are outright bad doesn’t fly. The only app that is outright bad is Jerboa, and the only reason to use Jerboa was if you were on here since BEFORE reddit even started the API thing, when it was the only option. We have a TON of options right now. Everyone actually focusing on Jerboa feels like they’re not an actual Lemmy user.

Voyager has an app that respects navigation panes, UI refreshes and haptic system gestures now, so all those “but it doesn’t FEEL native” complaints have been put to the ground to begin with.

Holy shit I see them.

A LOT more Twitter ragebait, but not an astronomical amount more than what the site already had. /r/all was largely just many clones of /r/funny wearing a mask, or clonea of WhitePeopleTwitter (ragebait central) wearing a mask.

Sad to see AccidentalRennaissance also joined the ranks as yet another /r/funny clone.

I read that this was stated entirely as a joke, and I read that 2 months ago in the middle of people looking for pathetic excuses to not stop using reddit.

I thought Lemmy would have stopped propagating it without a source.
