TITLE OF SOME SORT

hey no worries lol that just hurt my feelings forever

are bots making communities now??? some of the ones i get recommended feel like it

can you imagine you wake up one day in a dark room chained to a radiator with your phone at 1% and you unlock it and find that you've been added to this community

The first thing you do in that situation is open Tumblr?

Where the hell else would I post about being chained to a radiator, fucking Bluesky?

idk if this is an usamerican thing or not but it always blows my mind as a small european country resident that yall have many names and types of apples???? what do you mean its not just red yellow or green??? why is it so complicated??? who is granny smith????

'whats your favorite apple' 'red' 'no i mean like what type' '??????' actual conversatiom i've had with a mutual from usa

the world is so big and beautiful

i think avoiding everything is going to save me for real this time

This is also likely the single biggest cause of declining fertility rates: when you have a very high chance of seeing your children reach adulthood you have less of a reason to have large numbers of them. There are probably other things that have pushed fertility below replacement rates in developed countries, but declining child mortality can definitely explain the drop from 7+ kids to approximately 2-3 kids per woman.

"I learned a lot from making this" is artist talk for "making this sucked ass and I'm not entirely happy with the result."

the space race may be the funniest point in history period and i'll stand by that. the US is like "yes whoever gets into space first will prove once and for all that our economic model is superior and that we are, in general, the superior country of superior and smarter people." then the soviets just went and did it and the US freaked out and needed to cover their ass so were like "WE MEAN THE MOON, WE MEAN THE FIRST TO LAND ON THE MOON."

yeah its cus walking on the moon was cool as hell and all this other boring shit sucked ass

This social media ban for under 16s and restriction for 16-17 year olds is absolutely dystopian by the way, and nobody asked for this. I'm all for reducing screentime and increasing safety but that is an individual responsibility and all this law is going to do is isolate teenagers, push them to less safe corners on the internet (e.g. unregulated forums,) and prevent them from accessing vital information on topics such as current events and mental health. Who on earth thought this would be a good idea

Firefox users, when you right-click to copy a URL, it will give you the option to "copy clean link" which does what prev describes for you automatically. 10/10.

it is of course easier to performatively ban children from social media than to do things like "actually challenge and regulate the abusive tactics tech companies use to extract people's data and money via social media" but if we did the second thing we wouldn't have any excuse to force people to use digital ID :(
