There were experiments a few years ago that attempted to see if some primates could learn the concept of money. A coin could be used in exchange for a piece of fruit. Some primates were able to understand that the coin represented fruit.

Those primates discovered prostitution soon after.

It isn't. The full name, including everything after the @ is the name of the community. They act differently and should be treated different.

To put it another way using email as an example, we wouldn't treat [email protected] as the same as [email protected].

I'm talking about implementation.

A lot of people come into Lemmy assuming that the federation is uniform when it isn't. There are two different groups of people between .world and .ml, let alone more specialized instances.

Just because the community name is the same doesn't mean the community is the same.

It wasn't a hodgepodge; it was a system designed to the requirements of the day. Every town setting their own clocks to the local high noon wasn't a bad idea for a while. Hell, the ability to transfer the knowledge of time from another part of the world only came about a few generations before.

It wasn't until the railroads started operating where it became important for different cities to have the same time down to the minute. Until then, local noon worked well enough.

Probably not.

Even if you're going into things like dub con hetero omegaverse content, the men are still written in a way that is attractive to women.

Flash and Silverlight follow what I said. They were ubiquitous until the costs, being a bloated platform that couldn't be ported to smartphones, caused the industry to shift to an open model.

And messaging is a very old use of the Internet. IRC was created in 1988; Discord shouldn't be a thing based on what you've said.

So which sickfuck CEO is trying to figure out how to make an AI feel pain?

An idea is worth its weight in gold.

How much does an idea weigh?

It probably wasn't written to the quantity it is today, but it doesn't mean it wasn't used.

Mass literacy wasn't a thing until the past 100 years, so a lot of people didn't even write anything down about their lives.

Even once mass literacy was adopted, the written word was generally sent to specific places. Outside of combat messengers, letters generally went to specific places where people would pick them up. If you were able to read the written message, you were probably in a known location to the sender.

It isn't until cellular text messaging or Internet chat where it became common to not know where a person was when you were talking to them.

Having watched the interview, his personality matches his look.

Americans would likely use the term "small town" over "village" in most of the country.

Also the physical layout of a small town would likely be different and much more car dependent.

I'm used to the usual "remember me" text messages, but is there a reason they are trying to include the metro area in the message as well?

They are supposed to be grown from spores, so what use are ork nipples?

Forums are social media (self.unpopularopinion)
submitted 9 months ago by HobbitFoot to c/[email protected]

People here like to say "I don't use social media; I use forums" like there is a difference between the two. There isn't.

Forums are places where people post and comment on user generated content, other comments themselves.
