That's because you're just far too old, and not down with the zoomers and their extremely flurgid memes. Or possibly you're not a paleontology enjoyer.

Sea stars? Is this a new name for starfish?

  • JackGreenEarth,

    Yeah, that makes sense, it’s just one I’ve never heard before.

    IMongoose,

    Same with jellyfish, crawfish, and to a lesser extent sea gulls. Now jellies, crawdads, gulls (they are not all by the sea).

    A ton of birds are about to be renamed too, they are renaming all birds named after people.

    psud,

    Yes, it is another name for a starfish

    I’m getting spork vibes. Nothing is new. This too shall come to pass.

    On a road trip through Ontario one year we met a couple of teenagers at a country gas station near Ottawa with pupils in the shape of a cat … a vertical almond shape. I freaked out when I saw the girl first and jumped back. She was used to the reaction and said she just looked like that and it wasn’t a trick. She then said her brother had the same thing and he came to see us.

    This was about 25 years ago before novelty contact lenses were around … they may have been around but I had never heard of them at the time.

    It’s a weird thing to see just these tiny differences to the human anatomy … it immediately makes you think that something is wrong or not right. It makes you realize just how easily prejudices are born.

    The two people were really nice small town people and we had a good conversation and we even left them a tip before we never saw them again.

    Then again that is the special thing about differences though … I’ve seen so many 'normal looking" people in my life and none of them stand out, but I can still picture these two and I’ll never forget them.

    Cort,

    Fwiw, 25 yrs ago was 1999, and I remember seeing these for sale at my eye doctor even before that. These kids may have been fucking with you…

    Spzi, in seastars!

    Romantically speaking, aren’t we all just genitals with attached life support?

    rekabis,

    You are technically correct, the best kind of correct!

    The fact that I understand everything in this scares and comforts me at the same time.

    I am quite fond of bugs. Concerningly fond.

    I like that the lawyer avoids saying “Duck Tape” because it’s trademarked.

    Are images from mander.xyz broken for anyone else?

    @Sal@mander.xyz avatar

    Yes, sorry. It is a problem that started over the weekend. I thought I had patched it by doubling the server’s RAM and adding a core, but that was not enough. Some process is causing the RAM use to spike and the image backend is crashing because of that.

    @Sal@mander.xyz Another whack-a-mole.

    Thanks. I noticed and reset the server a few minutes ago.

    Something has been off recently. The CPU is spiking and the RAM gets used up, which crashes the pict-rs container. The pict-rs won’t reconnect until I reset the lemmy Docker container.

    I doubled the RAM and added one core, but that was not enough to stop this problem, which means that whatever is causing these spikes is unconstrained. I need to look more deeply into Docker memory management to see if I can limit RAM usage such that the crash can be avoided while remaining functional.

    Goodluck, comrade.

    Thanks. I have looked into it a bit more and I think that it is the postgres database grabbing all the memory it can. I have set a hard limit for the postgres container. Hopefully this resolves the problem!

    But surely everyone greets you by saying “Dr. Fossilesque, I presume?”.

    That alone has got to be worth the overqualification issues.

    Finishing up my thesis but, god I hope not. Those people are insufferable.

    AntY,

    I called an associate professor by a common nickname derived from his actual name, thing is that it draws the thought to some drug addict from the 70’s. When I got my phd, he took to calling me by my title as a revenge.

    A_Very_Big_Fan,

    Better than people who insist on being called “Dr.”

    That’s what I was referring to. 😅

    Idk how much the original gif weighted, but a gif that’s thousand more than that would be an absolute pain to load.
