Man behind viral dress to stand trial charged with trying to kill wife
I feel like we should put a rest to the term “breaking the internet.”
Am I the only one here completely out of the loop?

Idris Elba: Actors in video games like Phantom Liberty is 'sign of the times'
Kristen Bell was in Assassin's Creed II and that was 14 years ago... Fuck I feel old.

Take the high road: the man who visited every country in the world – without boarding a plane
It’s good to see Torbjørn returning home. I remember his AMA on Reddit back in like 2013 and followed him since. I still would pop in his website and check where he was at.
He used to pop in on Reddit around that time, but he had some issue with them at some point. And they didn’t let him do more AMAs anymore. Not sure what happened.
He got totally fucked by COVID, because he was in Hong Kong when it hit and was there for two years. He could’ve flown home and given up, but by that time he was 7 years into it. I remember him also having a lot of trouble crossing land borders in Central Africa because of corrupt border guards and arbitrary visa issues.
Last I checked he was in Maldives! Good to read that he made it back safe. He always seem like a nice, wholesome guy. I always wondered how’d he adapt to being back home.

Why you might not want to use whatsapp anymore
As someone from Latin America. FUCK!
It’s literally what everyone uses for business, family/friends groups. Don’t know if any country around here is an exception, but we started using it because greedy telecoms were charging so much money for SMS at the time. So, it was a great way to circumvent that.
Then Facebook bought it when it was already established, so it’s improbable that people will move away from it.

Americans, what is something that Europeans have/do that makes no sense to you?
I belong to neither of these groups. But here goes it.
Europe: when ordering water, I have to specify for it not to have gas (non-carbonated). Also in places like Germany, people drink those before playing football. I don’t understand how you do it or even like it that way.
People in electric scooters are out of control. Specially in Spain. They’re the most egregious when it comes to disrespecting pedestrian crosswalks, dangerous overtaking in bike lanes and all around assholeness. You shouldn’t ride your fucking patinete in a train station crowded with people.

People from the US: Your tipping culture is out of control. It’s good for outstanding service on certain scenarios. But not for handing me takeout or pulling out a foamy beer from a cooler.
Also , don’t tell newly-aquatinted people from the south that you’re not religious. They’ll try to tell you it’s their duty to save your soul and try to make you go to their religious services, which antagonizes them if you try to set boundaries on your personal beliefs.
Btw. I still like you both.

Reddit's Traffic is Down 3.36% Month-Over-Month, According to SimilarWeb
If it wasn’t for my photography, I’d delete instagram. Holy shit is it pay-to-play a cesspool. And I’m being targeted for ads for all kinds of ponzi schemes and crypto and FOREX scams. Probably from watching Coffeezilla videos.
We’ll see how Lemmy picks up. I’m really liking it, thus far. Right now we’re looking at Reddit like a former, toxic partner that we want to spite. Lately I was just going on the World News, Ukraine war mega thread.

They know it’s a money pit, yet necessary to participate in society. It’s like they almost see the problem with that, but instead try to conjure up Bird-Law to be exempt from these costs.
PS: Bird-Law doesn’t work like that!

Joe Rogan Praises ‘No-Nonsense’ Tucker Carlson, Predicts ‘He Could Win’ The Presidency in 2028
If you listen to the Knowledge Fight podcast, you’ll hear Alex Jones literally bragging about radicalizing Joe Rogan. Alex Jones claims to be constantly in contact with him. So this is just the knuckle-dragger going further deep.

Seeing this made me feel so cozy in my little instance. 😆
Fuckerberg should just send that Muskrat a poop emoji.
We should just start inciting for them to have a no-holds-bar, hell-in-a-cell, ladder, hardcore cage fight to the death. Then, when its over, we just don't open the cage.

6 Ways You Didn't Realize Ronald Reagan Ruined The Country
I remember seeing frat boys / sorority girls in the southern US wear Reagan-Bush ‘84 shirts in like the mid 2010s, as if it were a retro-fashion statement. So I guess the flavor-aid was that strong, or their inheritances will be substantial and they will still have that hegemonic reign in that region. In a sense, they’ll be the millennials/Gen zers who will become the neo-boomers down the line.

Reddit Is a Hookup App Now
You all were hooking up?
I thought those were people pushing OF content. Or if it was happening, it was only in really big cities.

Lemmy Just Reached 1 Million Posts

I posted one yesterday on a major Subreddit. It did get a bit of hate. Couple of people signed up. Some of that hate seems to be bots, complaining that there’s no mobile app, and that it looks like old Reddit.
I’ll keep monitoring, to see if it gets shadow removed. I bet a lot of the major subreddits are running on skeleton crews, so they can’t get everything.
