We never wash our belts, although they are the first thing we touch when leaving the toilet, even before we wash our hands
You never wash your belt? I bet you never wash the poop-knife either.
Sheesh.

Sign language is just radio communication but on another frequency
Really, radio communication is about creating and transmitting those radio waves. Sign language relies on reflected light waves so it’s actually a form of RADAR 😀

Nuking my 12yr/100k karma Reddit Account.
It’s crazy isn’t it? Six months in and Mastodon still hasn’t clicked for me, but six days here and I know I’m not going back to Reddit.

Why IBM got a reputation of destroying everything they touch?
IBM buys companies because it wants something the company has and it's happy to throw away (sorry, divest) the bits it's not interested in. That's it. The people in the bought company, or their customers, may feel that the things that they valued and that made them precious have been destroyed, but IBM didn't value them enough to preserve them.

Lemmy resembles the old reddit experience so well that they even emulate the old reddit server performance

That’s where join-lemmy really missed out. They should have introduced a set of rules like join-mastodon where instances must have at least two admins, a clear code of conduct, and clear rules as to how they manage closedown. That way users would be reasonably safe in picking an instance at random. But they didn’t so everyone should go to safe choices like lemmy.world.

Does it feel like the fediverse is exclusively used by older tech nerds?
You forgot: uses dark mode.

I've resurrected lemmur, a beautiful flutter app. Coming soon to an instance near you!
Hey Zack, we should probably talk!
I follwed the same route but focused on the iOS side and so I have "Limbo" in TestFlight! Lemmur is such a great base isn't it? It's such a shame that the original devs moved on.
Have a look at my take at https://lemmy.world/c/limbo

Owners destroyed the soul of their own house
The house was horrible enough to start with; a characterless inter-war bungalow with fake timbering and fake leaded glass. The conversion is just differently horrible.
For me it's the destruction of the garden that warrants it being here. I know it's the UK so the sun isn't always available (edit: just seen the Zoopla link, it's Bolton, so change "always" to "ever") , but losing shade and shelter like that is a tragedy in any climate.

The first pig to fly. 1909.
We stayed in Sheerness (where this flight took place), and when my girlfriend saw this she immediately asked “Did pigs fly before women did?”. And the answer turned out to be no, women beat pigs by two weeks: “Sarah Van Deman … was the woman who flew with Wilbur Wright on October 27, 1909” source

Twitter launching what looks like a reddit competitor on the same day third party apps shut down
And on the same day when they fucked up their infrastructure so badly that they had to rate-limit all users. Yeah, okay Elon, you can host my community for me.

Workaround for the performance issue with posting in large communities
At least the "reply" button goes away so I don't end up double- triple- or even duodecuple-posting! Thanks for all the hard work that must be going on behind the scenes right now!
