I mod a worryingly growing list of communities. Ask away if you have any questions or issues with any of the communities.

I also run the hobby and nerd interest website scratch-that.org.

Me personally? I’m going to back away slowly without giving him my name.

You get almost no comments but I wanted to say I always appreciate reading these. Thanks for all the daily posts.

Hungarian revolutionary holds a captured AK rifle in 1956. (lemmy.world)

The 1956 Hungarian revolution was the first major armed conflict that featured the AK rifle, and the first conflict in which it was used by both sides. The photo above shows an anti-Soviet Hungarian revolutionary named József Tibor Fejes with a captured AK....

Mockups created in 1944 by the US government about how Hitler may have looked in disguise. (lemmy.world)

Excerpt: Towards the end of World War II, U.S. intelligence officials were afraid that the German dictator would flee Germany by assuming a disguise. By 1944 the world identified the man largely by his trademark toothbrush mustache and oily side-slicked hair, so they ordered his portrait to be cloned....

The redundancy is somewhat the point. While one instance may have a dominant version of a community which is visited by people of numerous instances, other instances having local versions promotes decentralization, and helps smaller instance form their own culture.

The decentralization is good because it ensures a single power mod, cabal of mods, or crooked admin situation can not unilaterally ruin everything. Users can just jump ship to a different community that is run by different admins and mods.

Smaller instances having spaces where their own memes and in-jokes is good to create a culture for that instance to help give some different flavor and helps that specific instance grow. This feeds into supporting the variety of smaller communities on that instance, allowing them a chance at traction rather than existing in a void.

If you want both communities, just subscribe to them both and let them appear on your feed.

A warning. Those who speak too deeply and become engrossed in conversations too long will fall prey to the machinations of dimensional altering creatures. Beware the conversationalist, for they are an agent of gibbering star madness.

My 100th creation. Also terrible.

I was purposefully trained wrong. As a joke.

There is no singular zombie lore. The brain eating entered pop culture with “Return Of The Living Dead”. That movie and the associated Living Dead series exists as a result of an IP fight between John Russo and George Romero. It is not canon with the George Romero zombie movies (Night Of The Living Dead, Dawn Of The Dead, Day Of The Dead, Land Of The Dead, and the lesser following low budget movies).

In Romero’s movies the zombies do not go after brains, they don’t say “brains”. Their hunger for human flesh is discussed by characters but nobody really knows for sure why zombies attack or eat people.

In many other zombie series, there are often theorized reasons for their behavior, but rarely a solid answer, and very few series have zombies that explicitly want brains to eat.
