This is a pretty fun rabbit hole to dive down. The para-biblical book Jubilees retells a lot of the Hebrew Bible stories with added details including naming the patriarchs’ wives. A more interesting reading is that because they are omitted in the Genesis account, quite possibly a lot more people were also not mentioned. This led to the “pre-Adamite” doctrine, that Adam and Eve were not the first humans. Of course there’s also the Talmudic account of Lilith which has gained a lot of popularity recently.

Everyone would ask them about what was going on behind the scenes and if Spez is as short-sighted as he seems. They’d reply they signed NDAs about most of the questions being asked and quickly regret creating a spontaneous AMA and then never log in under that username again.

Someone made a post that said, “I heard people on Lemmy will upvote anything, let’s see if that’s true.” It was a can of beans and did indeed get upvoted. Then everyone just ran with it and made memes.

I hate that posting into the void feeling. I blame that more on the microblog format more than any particular platform.

I noticed posting from lemmy.world is really buggy. I started composing in another app as a failsafe. Kbin doesn’t seem to have this issue, and maybe other Lemmy instances don’t either.

Given how ruthless the FCC is, the best we can hope for at this point is a deathbed confession.

My aunt still does separate loads for reds+yellows and blues+greens. Boomers don’t know dyes and detergents have come a long way in the last few decades.

Networked, autonomous local communities.

Haven’t been proven wrong so far. I’d love it for the human race to get it together and take its existential threats seriously, but it seems world leaders would rather have pointless wars over territory and argue about cultural issues.

I’m weary of people who make this mistake.

That’s what you get for selling out to Mews Corp.

Many years ago I posted a true story on r/nosleep or r/letsnotmeet (forget which) bc I didn’t realize most of those stories are fake. It was frustrating to realize my weird situation that I wanted other people to know about and empathize with me about (bc the cops did nothing) was largely ignored.

The main subs I follow are more or less back to normal or never protested to begin with. Two tiny subs I mod have been getting hammered with Temu spam and because the built-in moderation tools don’t seem to help I set them to restricted.

The big difference is on /all. Some popular subs have been largely replaced like r/AITA -> r/AITAH & r/TwoHotTakes. But a lot of the usual content is completely missing and in their place are the food delivery and selfie subs.

It’s possible. Roman concrete is still superior to modern concrete in some ways and we haven’t rediscovered the formula.

I’m also Buddhist-ish. I have done zazen for many years. I have taken some Vajrayana empowerments. And I like to study Buddhist philosophy. Yet I am not really convinced about Buddhist soteriology, so I can’t earnestly take refuge.

Wasn’t that debunked a long time ago?

I saw a post that automatically grabbed a NSFW furry thumbnail pic from somewhere but it wasn’t in the linked article, nor did it show up on Lemmy.

I hate it when articles undercut their own clickbait titles.

In humid climates, shorts should be acceptable work attite.
