The shortest war in history occurred between the countries of Britain and Zanzibar in 1896. The war lasted only 38 minutes, ending with Zanzibar's surrender. (lemmy.world)

After the death of Sultan Khalid, the British supported the appointment of Sultan Hamad bin Thuwaini as his successor. However, Khalid’s cousin, Sultan Khalid bin Barghash, declared himself the new sultan and refused to step down. The British, having significant military presence in the region, issued an ultimatum demanding...

MindfuckRocketship,

Here’s the Wikipedia page about the war. Interesting read.

MindfuckRocketship,

Thanks for sharing. Congrats in advance on two years.

MindfuckRocketship,

HA. HAHA.

HAHAHAHAHA.

That is all. That’s the comment.

MindfuckRocketship,

What species are these? They’re super adorable.

MindfuckRocketship,

Fucking yikes. Now this is yet another reason to protest en masse. God speed, French folk.

MindfuckRocketship,

Zero surprise. Most people are living life on autopilot. They will continue to ignore major issues—like politics, climate change, and corporations mistreating people—to our collective long-term detriment. Anecdotally, I have friends who don’t give two fucks about such important things. Instead, they focus almost purely on MMA, reality TV, and stand-up comedy.

I mean, we all have hobbies but damn, pay attention and take a stand on serious issues that affect us all.

MindfuckRocketship,

Welcome aboard! There’s now over 400,000 of us! (Source).

MindfuckRocketship,

Sure, that’s fair; there’s certainly a balance to be had.

MindfuckRocketship,

Thought I had YouTube or some other streaming app open in the background when I viewed the image.

Glory to the Heroes!

Trying to Learn Ukrainian? I Really Like Verba's Videos! (www.youtube.com)

Howdy, folks! I’ve recently started taking learning Ukrainian more seriously and in the process I found Verba on YouTube. As far as her video explaining the alphabet, it’s the best video on the topic I’ve been able to find. If you’re looking to learn Ukrainian too, hopefully this will help!...

MindfuckRocketship,

Bookmarked. Thank you!

On adding moderators

So it’s probably time to add some moderators, not necessarily because things are out of hand or anything, but because I’d like someone to actually nurture this community like I don’t have time to. I’m talking about, for example, having regular pinned conversational live update threads, forming rules, all sorts of...

MindfuckRocketship,

I have been following the World News live threads religiously since mid-February 2022 and I’m really looking forward to something similar here in the Fediverse.

I don’t have a ton of modding experience but I did mod at r/Moscow for about a week in August 2022. A pro-Ukrainian Polish lad who used to live in Moscow forgot he was a mod there years ago. As it turned out, he was now the most senior mod so he banned all other mods and replaced them with pro-Ukrainian people, turning it into an anti-Putin sub. A subreddit coup, if you will. He said he aimed to use the sub as a way to lift the voices of all the Eastern Europe nations victimized by Russia over the years.

I flaired up to let the Muscovites know an American army vet was now a Moscow mod, permitting a flood of pro-UKR memes while removing pro-RU-invasion posts and comments. Russian jimmies were thoroughly rustled.

Reddit admins eventually received enough orc complaints to give the sub back to them. All good things must come to an end.

Anyway, despite my dearth of modding experience I’d like to help out as a mod. Cheers from Alaska.

MindfuckRocketship,

Likewise!

MindfuckRocketship,

Probably for the best.

I may use Reddit through the browser on occasion while googling (but without logging in). My Reddit activity has dropped 99%. The 1% is lurking the World News thread to follow Ukraine war updates while logged out.

Upvotes are still getting rejected. Replies hang so I cancel out and it turns out they did post.

That said, browsing is pretty snappy and smooth. I know the kinks will get worked out eventually. Thanks for the update.

Edit: This now appears resolved minutes later. All smooth on my end.

MindfuckRocketship,

I’ve since successfully upvoted some comments and made replies without it hanging with the spinning circle. Not sure what the issue was but it all seems to be running smoothly now. Thanks.

MindfuckRocketship,

The party of idiocracy and authoritarian traitors.

Gaggia Classic Evo Pro In-Depth Overview: Upgrades, Performance Tests, How To Use (vlemmy.net)

The Gaggia Classic Pro Evo is out! Click here for a full review. This is a 2023 revision on the much loved Gaggia Classic Pro which also punched far above its price class. The Evo is around $500. If you’re looking for a deal, now might be a good time to snatch up a refurbished unit of the older model. I found one for $375 with...

I didn’t know Tony Danza was doing infomercials.

MindfuckRocketship,

That’s a beauty. Cheers.

MindfuckRocketship,

Congrats in advance on the baby. They’re a lot of work but usually worth it in the long run.

Precious kitty.
