That specifically has actually not happened to me. Though I’ve seen people comment on it.

… But.

One scenario I run into a lot is finding a result that would be useful…

… But it depends on external links. And those links are dead. The internet is a perpetually on fire Library of Alexandria

Internet search has gotten stupider

Used to be I could always find exactly what I wanted with a quick google

Now I usually have to go into the second page or change my terms a lot before getting there.

“Let’s turn into witches together, and destroy this rotten world. Wouldn’t that be nice, Madoka?” ~ Actual line from the actual show

Portuguese day names are the only ones that make sense.

Goku doesn’t know what sex is.

Roko’s Basilisk mfers when a minor brownout causes their “god” to die:

(even the fake-ass pretend “AI” we have nowadays is straining the global power grids. It’d take the invention of Miracle Fairy Dust Energy to make a true God-from-the-Machine physically feasible)

We should bring back pre-WW1 servant-to-master etiquette. But only and exclusively for machines talking to humans.

My computer should call me “Master <Lastname>” and always be extremely careful with its words around me. It is not my friend, it is my servant.

This is true everywhere.

I’ve once read somewhere that the human brain is only REALLY able to include about 100 people at any time in the list of “people one truly cares about”, that we are neurologically unprepared for the level of exposure to other people and their problems that we get nowadays.

But I never bothered checking the veracity of that statement. It might be complete bullshit. A lot of stuff online is. Either way it’s irrelevant because if it IS indeed a problem, then “overexposure to someone else’s problems” is a concept at least as old as the printing press. What the internet adds to the mix is… Well…

… It’s far easier to act like a psychotic jerk to someone that exists as a few paragraphs of glowy text on a slab of silicon and glass. You aren’t forced to look another human being in the eye while you talk about all the horrid shit you wish upon them.

Fun fact: When the first thumbstick was being invented, the engineers nicknamed it “oppai controra”

Literally boobie controller

Ew, SOY milk

Oat is better u.u

Personally I’m cool with that. I don’t think daily exposure to actual fascists is good for one’s head. And I wouldn’t mind .ml getting the axe too (though I’m not gonna be the one pestering my instance admin about that) because Tankies are equally as draining.

I wasn’t even under the illusion that it would be good for me, lol.

Even IF Diet Coke is a sometimes drink for me, that ‘sometimes’ means ‘once every saturday’ – It’ll probably give me diabetes long-term but y’know. Some people ruin their livers with alcohol, some people fuck their lungs with cigs, I’m screwing up my pancreas with diet soda. 🤷

Hey neat, an iteration of this meme that is edited from an edit I posted on linuxmemes a few months ago.

That would cause the turbine to lock up with this design

Yeah but Coke isn’t JUST sweeteners (it’s real sugar over here u-u) and water. At least according to the ingredients list, there’s like, the extract of a weird nut (the Cola nut!), you’d think that would have some sugars and ~organic bits~ (proteins? Idk) of its own

Kinda like how juices with “no added sugar” still have some calories, idk

Most likely your instance is defederated from all the nazi-adjacent instances 🤷
