So there’s a chain of police-themed donut shops in mid-Michigan, run by retired cops, where patrons “can even pose for a mugshot, or a picture behind bars”…
@civicDetroitDan lol what the actual? why the hell would want to pose for being busted? that's just begging for something to go awry. and just also wtf? LOL WOWZA how do you find these things?
@Skovheks LOL yeah, "space visitors" aka astronauts. Often complain: on one hand they'd get horny af in space because of gravity and just being human. Assuming they figure out a way to commence docking procedures. The males parts would veer wildly between stiff and flexable. but womens not so much. And similarly the assembly process for a new kid...well stuff goes sideways pretty quickly from mutated workers on the way to mums factory (eggs, and etc) ok so now kiddo is in the building phase now what: well prepare for one of the weirdest looking most mal adjusted humans ever. I think NASA and chinase equivilant fairly well now think they'd have potential for be a smart effer though: turns out rotating as fast as the earth (weightlessness). meens the head could (theortically) be comfortable enormous same for the brain etc. the rest of the body would, well like you said: go to utter ass though.
@Skovheks When I was a yute I loved the living crap out of jupitor. I'd read book after book on the topic. Well when I was in gradeschool, we had to make a science project that, if built, would work. I naturally decided to make a model of a workable place to live on jupitor. And what a native alien might be like their. What I came up with for a native ended up looking like a cool look pretty large jellfish+elf like humanoid. And guessed (theorized) : as long as they stayed close to the upper bits in very compact, floating homes and cities. they could live their just fine. I think I even devised, a travel system that'd use very compressed gas to go flying around place to place.
lol now many years latter we now know: IF their is humanoidish life proper their: it'd look mostly like a bunch tightly compressed seed pods, and would avoid the redspot like the plague or would die, just about instantly, and no way in hell would it breath oxygen. methane maybe, but basically every gas that deletes human entrails is in it's atmosphere.
“DeSantis currently has a net approval rating of negative 19 points….with 55 percent of respondents disapproving of him, compared with 36 percent who have a favorable view….”
It's wild to me that there's currently so much panic & fear about what #AImight do to "destroy" humanity, yet - at the same time - so little attention to the way that human behaviors are already, knowingly, putting billions of people & global biodiversity at tremendous risk. 🌍 #climatechange
#Lemmy now has 135,369 accounts. That is tracking with my expectations.
But while #Kbin had ~7,000 accounts yesterday, it’s just shot up to 30,930 accounts today.
While Lemmy is the 5th most used server software on the Fediverse, Kbin is now in 10th place and it’s growing at a faster rate than Lemmy.
A few days ago, I predicted that the #RedditMigration would result in 150,000-300,000 new accounts being created on the Fediverse. That expectation has already been met.
This #RedditMigration is fundamentally changing the course of the Fediverse. It’s moved the Fediverse from being primarily about microblogging to having more eclectic use cases.
While the #TwitterMigration validated that decentralized social media can appeal to millions of people, the #RedditMigration has validated that decentralized social media has man varied applications – both in the software and use case sense.
@atomicpoet what i'm reading is a "better" social media platform, is, for some reason getting slashdotted. lol. I just wish the common names for stuff wasn't sassbackwards. And the UI wasn't fugly on a stick over at lemmy. but Lemmy know how it's going.
This might be a loaded question given my audience. But what are you all considering the ‘best’ general purpose desktop Linux distribution at the moment?
I’d like for a moment, if we can, to drop the tribalism, the evangelism etc. and try to be as objective as possible. Even if it pains you to say X distro has some really nice features that your current favourite doesn’t.
I run Windows, MacOS, Ubuntu, SUSE, Debian, Solaris, and RHEL frequently. I once ran a distro per week for a whole year, so I’ve seen some things. I have no horse in this race.

lol well floridman might give florida a slight lead for being being better, because the sheer stupidity required makes his exploits funny for a second. Ted Cruz is just a mentally incompetent turd blossom
