HidingCat, in How did Ikea's Blajah became the symbol of the trans community ?

I didn't even know this was a thing! Is it a pretty universal symbol now?

WalrusDragonOnABike,

I've seen it quite often. Both on Reddit and twitch at least.

DarthRedLeader, in I need to survive for 3 days without pooping, and eating as little as possible. I can pee, but not very often. It can't take up too much space. What food do I pack?

Tbf, there's a difference between knowing instinctively that someone poops and being first-hand witness to the godawful stench of post-chipotle bowel movement in an area with poor air circulation (AC aside).

Crush is definitely involved though.

Don't drink coffee then.

I was here for this glorious moment, we have to solve the puzzle and guess why he is doing this

It's not a rat, it's a Lemming.

Reddit is a play on words "I read it -> on reddit"

Pretty sure it is supposed to be a lemming.

SoNick, in Why is the Lemmy maskot/Logo a rat?

It's a lemming

I think the name Lemmy comes from lemmings, a kind of rodent, aand, that probably answer both your questions right? That's what i think it is

So no connection with Motörhead…

Dirk,
@Dirk@lemmy.ml avatar

It’s literally the first in the list of meaning.

Why’s it called Lemmy?

  • Lead singer from Motörhead.
  • The old school video game.
  • The Koopa from Super Mario.
  • The furry rodents.

szczur, in Why does Lemmy feel so fresh compared to Reddit?

Fediverse denizens are really active.

Heimchen,

Yea, I became more active on lemmy than ever was on Reddit

SrEstegosaurio,

Yeah, engagement is in the Fediverse is colosal in comparison.

Jon-H558, in Some posts show they have more comments than I can see

Is the thread. on your local instance or a nother (e

You are on kbin.social looking at lemmy.world thread) it may be the thread is federated wider than your instance federates

Get some mana or soilent, stuff like that.

You need to eat it before your journey as your bowels need to adapt, once it is good you will have one poop per week as there is not a lot of fibers in it.

It is cheap also. You got everything you need to be well.

kiwifoxtrot, in What are some good forums that you enjoy?
@kiwifoxtrot@lemmy.world avatar

Sailing Anarchy for all things related to sailing. There's a small subset of folks on there that are very toxic, but it is the best place for extremely technical content.

Ivyy_LemmyW, in What do you feel like life will be like on earth in 100 years?
@Ivyy_LemmyW@lemmy.world avatar

The way the world is going, it will easily be Cyberpunk.

Saigonauticon,

I live in Asia. It already is like that here.

No room to live, and no room to die. Hell is a kettle with a concrete sky.

dotslashme,

Damn that is a bleak sentence, but poetically put.

Some arid wasteland after societal collapse caused by climate changes

Lifecoach5000,

It’s supposed to be 108° F a few days soon in my area 🔥

Chainweasel,

Don't forget irradiated by the climate wars

entropicdrift,
@entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Not to mention the areas that would have been OK after climate change are devastated by mass migration of tens of millions more people than they could've sustainably supported

potterman28wxcv, in Why does Lemmy feel so fresh compared to Reddit?

One key difference I found is the lack of user karma. You have no incentive to post something "just to get karma" because there is no global karma on your profile.

This encourages to post what you want to post instead of posting something that someone posted years ago because it's easy free karma

PizzasDontWearCapes,

I just noticed that thanks to your comment. I hope it stays that way on Lemmie - karma farming leads to a lot of low quality content, including bot reposts

floofloof,

If Lemmy accounts with a plausible history ever become valuable like Reddit accounts are, we could see the same behaviour without karma just to build up a history. But for now that seems a long way off.

Send_me_nude_girls,

I got to agree. The first thing I did was looking for my karma on my profile but then noticed quickly that it actually doesn't matter. But has it the same addiction like effect in the long run? At least I can still see people enjoying a well though out comment, which is most of the joy.

Obi,
@Obi@sopuli.xyz avatar

I won't lie my first reaction when I figured that out was negative (oh my god but then how will I keep track of how much people love my comments..) but the more I think about it and use Lemmy the more I like it, like a weight lifted off my shoulders.

And what you said, no point to being a karma fiend when there's no counting, so a lot less easy karma grabs going around.
