What is it actually going to take to put this fucker in jail? Does he need to intimidate 20 witnesses first? I hate that the justice system feels they need to walk on eggshells around this wanna-be dictator cry baby.

In addition to our ability to throw shit, humans also have some of the best endurance that mammals have to offer. An example of this is the Human V Horse race in Wales. The race is a 22-mile / 35-kilometer marathon that takes place in mountainous terrain. Normally, a horse would beat a human in a race without a problem. But in a marathon, humans actually stand a chance with an occasional victor in this specific annual race. All due to our exceptional endurance.
Put the projectiles and endurance together, and we make for a terrifying hunter. Imagine you're some other animal out in the wild. Maybe you're really fast or really strong. But if a determined human really wants to try and kill you, there's no out-running it. It'll catch up eventually. And if you choose to fight the human, they'll get the first blow.
It looks like the data comes from Statista. After a quick google, they look to be credible. Though, they require a business solutions license to see the source, which is a cool $490.
On January 12, 2007, KDND's morning show, the Morning Rave, held an on-air contest entitled Hold Your Wee for a Wii, in which contestants were asked to drink as much water as they could without urinating... A 28-year-old contestant, Jennifer Strange, died of water intoxication hours after taking part in the contest....
Unfortunate but inevitable given the API changes. I only used teddit for a short time to check on a few subreddits during the protest/blackout period. This really marks the end of me visiting reddit in any form or fashion now.
I don't want to sound too impatient, after all I am very grateful for Indie Stone and the massive amount of work they've put into delivering this amazing gem for us. I've also been around since 2015, so I'm no stranger to long wait times between amazing updates....

NCD was one of my absolute favorite subbreddits, and one of the few communities I was truly sad to leave behind. It looks like it may be destroyed anyway. Hopefully this means more users from the NCD community will move to federated communities like the one I'm familiar with on sh.itjust.works.
Throughout the recent record-breaking and deadly heat wave that affected millions across Texas and other parts of the Southwest, major TV networks largely failed to report on the links between climate change and the extreme heat. Over a two-week period from June 15-29, an analysis by Media Matters found: Only 5% of the 310...
Can't piss off the boomers by mentioning climate change, that would alienate 80% of a TV audience. There's still watchtime to be gained and sales to be had before the world ends.
I was holding onto my account as well. That was until just a few minutes ago. I was browsing /r/all to see if there was any remaining discussion on the API shutting down. I only came across a couple of threads, all of which, to varying degrees, misrepresented what is going on. Comments making lite of the impact of 3rd party apps dying, and completely ignoring the fact that the owner of Reddit is acting with complete disrespect towards those who made the platform what it is today.
At that moment, I didn't give a shit about my account anymore. Are there bots astroturfing the comment section? Maybe. Are there users who are acting a little smug because they don't feel negatively impacted at all yet? Probably. Whatever. They can have whatever is left of the site.
I'm not going to stand for this. It feels like in life, there are so many bad things that happen that we have no control over. This is something I have 100% control over. It's so simple, just never go on Reddit again.
It was never about Reddit in the first place. It was just about hopping onto a forum and talking about games, current events, memes, comics, art, cats, etc. If /u/Spez and his ilk are going to be so disrespectful towards those who want to facilitate said forum, then I'll find another one immediately.
I've had the hiccups for ~8 of the last ~13 hrs. The usual remedies have failed. I've accepted my fate.
As an aside, anybody remember the children's show Rolly Polly Olly? I remember seeing it as a little kid, and I'm always reminded of the episode on hiccups when I'm afflicted.
That's it! A nice thing about Lemmy is you don't really need to be logged in to use it. Since the focus is communities rather than personal feeds you can just click around logged out until you want to comment.
@mcc Hello from Kbin! I think this is pretty neat too. I migrated to Kbin after Reddit announced their API changes. I never had a twitter account, so it's blowing my mind right now that I'm able to interface with platforms like Mastadon easily from Kbin.
