The bible … or the cartoon? either way, the answer is the same anyway … they’re both made up.
Indigenous Canadian from northern Ontario. Believe in equality, Indigenous rights, minority rights, 2SLGBTQ+, women’s rights and do not support war of any kind.
The bible … or the cartoon? either way, the answer is the same anyway … they’re both made up.
Reposting is like Einstein’s ideas and perspectives of time … it’s all relative.
When you see a meme for the first time, it’s not a repost, it’s something entirely new to you … but to someone who saw the content a long time ago, they may have seen it a hundred times.
As soon as you see it, others will come after you to see it for the first time … to them it is new … to you, you just saw it a second time, a third time, a hundred times, it is now a repost
Just like time in the universe … time moves at a certain rate here but between you and me, we both see it at slightly very tiny differences we would never notice … but jump to a different planet, nearer or further from a star, a neutron star or a black hole and time is a completely different thing for everyone
Reposting is the internet equivalent of relativity
Oh neat, I think I’ll go over to this magAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZZZINNNNNNNNNNNE!!!
It’s always the little details that make these images impressive … anyone can just cut and paste an object into an image and it doesn’t look real
But add in details like lighting, shadows, smoke, mist, water, reflections … and you make all those shadows and reflections plausible and at the appropriate angles … very subtle additions and it makes it very convincing.
It would be more efficient if we shrunk the power of the wealthiest individuals and made everyone fall under a wealthy limit
Why should one person own and control so much wealth when they will never realistically be able to enjoy all of that wealth during their lifetime? Especially if that one person hoarding all that wealth they’ll never use is producing, creating and maintaining so much pollution for one individual.
Wow, Riker must have done the splits in order to do his chair maneuver on the seat he’s on
Willy Wonka looking straight into your eyes: … yes … EVERYTHING
So it would be like taking out all the leaflets, ads, sales flyers and alert sheets from your local newspaper and throwing them in the trash without looking at any of them. In a small way, I always feel bad when I do that to my paper … such a huge waste of paper that only a small fraction of people actually look at.
Does this mean that in ten years we’re going to have a pandemic again?
What is going on here? … is this a time warp? … is this a new thing? … is this an old thing? … is this a thing? … did I just find a time machine?
I remember reading once that eating insects would be more efficient than eating beef or meat from larger animals. We can harvest from large animals about 60 to 70 percent of their mass as protein … if we did the same for insects, over 90 percent of their mass would be protein.
One important key lesson that everyone misses is funding … we have to normalize paying a bit of money through donations or subscriptions to those people that maintain instances and those people who maintain, update and build the software … if we all just keep tell ourselves that we all just keep our heads down, lock the door and don’t bother to pay anyone to keep the door locked … the same problems of the past will always emerge … Owners, developers, programmers, instance maintainers just running out of money and enthusiasm because they have the shoulder the financial costs while everyone ignores them and takes everything for granted.
If we all just keep expecting volunteers to keep everything running for us for free … eventually we will run out of willing volunteers as the community grows and the costs add up over time as instances grow more popular
SUPPORT YOUR INSTANCE … whatever platform it is and whatever amount of money you can give … even if it means we just give a dollar a day, across hundreds or thousands of user, it will protect your instance owner, and ensure that the people running your instance never run into a situation where they have to decide on either ending their work … or selling everything they have to make a bit of money back.
Does Dawson have any lemmy, kbin, mastodon connections we can link to?
I want to connect with his account without reddit and give through patreon or any fundraising he is doing … I dumped reddit but I had been using sync for years and I paid for the lifetime subscription just before going off … after what he did for us for years, I’m more than willing to give funding to him for his work
I once added a bottle of cherry Pepsi to my crock pot when making pulled pork
was that on purpose or by accident?
Reminds me of the story of ‘Fool’s Gold Loaf’
“It consists of a single warmed, hollowed-out loaf of bread filled with the contents of one jar of creamy peanut butter, one jar of grape jelly, and 1 pound (450 g) of bacon.”

As strange as this combination sounds … I will attempt it one day
