Don’t forget to pick up your free thoughts and prayers. Now, nearly all of them are 100% made in the US. Looking good, the United States of America. We’re number one in another thing that’s horrible to be ranked high in, around the world.

Please don’t encourage the Christian Nationalists. They’re already making it challenging as it is.

You deserve this for your comment.

It sadly does not. IIRC: lemmy.world devs removed this function a few updates ago because it was using up a lot of server CPU. I’d like for them to resolve it in the next update.

It relates to the video that OP shared here. It’s the thumbnail of the video.

I’d like to see more videos posted with their thumbnails on Lemmy. So I periodically comment on videos that don’t have them yet.

I’m just using whatever vidIQ sees was used on Youtube. Sorry.

Here is the video’s thumbnail.

I use an Extension called vidIQ to find and use the video thumbnail easily. The current thumbnail will be shown just below the video view count.

…? … Oooooohhh. Haha that’s some fine gallows humor.

I mean… You’re not exactly wrong.

Dude! I told you in confidence not to share that info.

I guess I have no choice but to share that @spittingimage@lemmy.world has the world’s biggest human anus. It’s been a scientific mystery about how it got to be so big.

To be fair, I purposely didn’t do a deep dive on xkcd so that whenever I did see a related post in the comments, it was almost always fresh to me. I figured this was true of a lot of people online.

*Except Nazis. Those people can fuck right off.

How old were you when you watched it?

Cheesus Ricest dude! I watched it as a 30 something year old and I felt disturbed with scenes in the third act.

Now you have to fill us in. Did you have nightmares and for how long?

In no particular order as to why I left Reddit to join Lemmy:

• Reddit became a chore just to see good content. (This is even after the fact of filtering out unrelated or unwanted subreddits in my feed.)
• The comment sections on Reddit became worse and worse with more joke/meme comments than actually related comments, low effort comments, bot spam, and the burial of your comment for no one to see, (or care to reply to,) if you were to comment on a post or comment more than 24 hours after it’s original posting. (Most of the time it felt like you had maybe 8 hours before it seemed to be a waste to comment.) Why would anyone stick around to comment or reply if nearly no one is going to engage?
• (Like many others have mentioned in the comments,) if you mentioned or talked about anything that wasn’t considered good, you were often blasted with downvotes and/or comments.
• How often you saw rinse and repeat content, questions, and sometimes comments. (I’ll admit. I took part in the rinse and repeat content ‘sharing’ and I wish I hadn’t done it for so long. The karma whoring was real for me.)
• Concerns (then later the reality check,) about how much Reddit is an echo chamber.
• /u/Spez showing us who he really is.
• Not liking the direction Reddit was heading. Writing on the wall when they fired Victoria Taylor
• The API fiasco.
• Movement towards IPO.

Lemmy doesn’t have any of these problems that I’ve experienced. Lemmy feels very much like a grass roots movement and I like that. I wish the communities that I am a part of had more active users, but that will more likely come with time.

No worries. The attempt to recall a memory was good enough.

Happy New Year.

I’d like to give a shoutout to all of the Wikipedia editors who created, edited, and updated obscure Wikipedia pages. The sure number of interesting things I wouldn’t have learned about if it wasn’t for you would be quite limited.

(FYI: There is a community on here for Wikipedia pages worth sharing.)
