Well, you’ll be pleased to know there are a lot of projects working on indoor vertical farming. Both as a method to spin up food production in heavily populated cities, and as a method for sustainable Mars and Moon bases. Which are effectively just bunkers, in space.

Yeah, I’d be uncomfortable, but immortality is immortality.

Now, if the requirement was a daily barebacking by the ultra-rich engineering their cum to be the elixir of immortality, I’d be a little more conflicted.

People say AI start hallucinating bizarre sentences is a problem, but I’m beginning to wonder if it simply gazed too deeply into the internet abyss.

Yeah, I could see the financial value dropping, with businesses less willing to pay as much for harvested data, but I don’t see a point in time where they don’t attempt harvest every last piece of data on the off chance somebody wants it though. Advertisers paid insane amounts of money for targeted information, but even Google’s seen a huge contraction in their advertising revenue.

Doesn’t mean they aren’t frantically trying to harvest data more aggressively (just recently tried to bake it into the internet itself), just that our data is getting cheaper.

Hang on, hang on… What if we check twice?

I came in here for this comment. When the choices are “criminal fighting the immensity of the ocean”, “guy named for all the cows and famous for shooting/being shot by other cow guys”, and literal nobility, it’s a solid deal. Of all three, one has the lowest chance of death, highest quality of life, and you pretty much got to do whatever you wanted depending on the era. The law that let you kill offending lower classes for twenty days of house arrest was only struck off the books in the mid 19th century.

I mean, if you view clowns as the opposite alignment of goths, in theory big tiddy clown gfs should be just as viable.

Two to hold down the giant bird that still vaguely remembers being a dinosaur, and one to get eviscerated by it’s angry feet when it kicks behind lol.

Pretty sure they just added a bunch of pixels to the side, the rest should still be untouched. Well, as untouched as it ever is.

While I agree, I’ll note that the sequel called for significantly more intoxication compared to the first.

I genuinely loved that movie. Watched it as a kid, got the DVD as I got older, downloaded the torrent when I was in college, watched it with friends for movie nights.

I had no idea it was supposed to be bad! I loved the weird fusion of camp, bizarre situations, and genuine action. Although I did have to chuckle at one of the reviews criticizing its CGI, written twelve years after the movie came out.

Yeah, on the one hand it’s absolutely wild and uses an incredible amount of unique work. On the other hand, it’s absolutely wild and genuinely meets expectations for a portal to hell.

I’d probably want to see the full cut, eventually, but it’d definitely be an event.

Sure, but that’s something for reddit users to do. There are 63k active Lemmy users monthly, and there are 430 million active Reddit users monthly. I dropped Reddit with the app death, but people are vastly overestimating the direct impact that Lemmy could possibly have on Reddit.

Reddit’s not gonna start dying until the population starts migrating in significant amounts to alternatives, which is probably going to be a little cataclysmic for Lemmy.

I’m pretty sure “we’re” not doing the r/place protest. Lemmy has 63k active users per month, per the most recent user stats. Reddit pre-protest had 52 million daily active users and 450 million monthly active users.

I’m sure Reddit’s metrics have probably taken a hit, but it’s going to be the future people leaving Reddit for alternatives that kill it, not Lemmings that have already jumped ship shunning it. One small subreddit could individually take over Lemmy.

I like Lemmy, but it’s pure hubris to think that we would even be noticed by Reddit, outside of being a place to siphon users away to.

The internet scars us all in different ways.

Reddit’s normal traffic is 52 million users a day and 450 million a month. Lemmy has something like 150k active and 500k total users. Contributing to a thousandth of a percent of their activity to spread awareness of Lemmy isn’t going to even be visible unless literally everyone went.

I also stopped using Reddit, but I don’t begrudge people for poking their head back in. Though the Lemmy pixels got wiped out at some point.

Nah, that was it’s purpose. It’s like the pantry getting mad that you keep putting flour in it. That said there was more of a divergence once Reddit started hosting media directly and Imgur essentially gained its independence, so maybe they’re more aggressively anti-hosting content these days.

I guess you could always mark everything private so it only shows up by following the link, but I was already out of touch a decade ago when it came to the Imgur community, so I’m basically just a random bystander at this point.

Canada cursed to never produce a maple leaf. The guillotine replaced by an Ariane rocket. An unnaturally thicc Pikmin. Fuck spez scattered across the world.

Also, DEEPCOCKGALACTIC 😂

It’s a shame Reddit is a mess, because these sort of silly community events are one of the best parts of the internet. Though some fools turned the dick in the DICKS piece into just a normal I. That was art.

As an aside, while staying off Reddit has the greatest impact on the company itself, Lemmy’s population is negligible compared to the number of angry redditors on Reddit itself. Advertising Lemmy as an alternative and guiding more people to join is going to have a much larger long-term impact than being a thousandth of a percent of their engagement numbers. That said, it looks like the Lemmy add disappeared as well.

Mole people! Yeah, at some point the disconnect between the two populations resulted in losing track of history. I just remember browsing the drama and chuckling at the sheer indignation towards Redditors treating Imgur as their personal image hosting site. Redditors got to feel superior after discovering that Imgur existed to serve them, and Imgurians(?) got to experience the horror of learning that the world was not what they thought it was.

There was a surprising amount of confusion on both sides.

It was hilariously bizarre when it was discovered that a population of mole people had been living inside reddit’s image host for some period of time. Especially since they were were getting up in arms about how much reddit content was crowding up the site.

Wonder what life’s like in there these days.
