imagine the inflation though!

I scroll Lemmy by ‘new’ and what I see is either interesting or not to me, and I see some really good memes, get a decent overview of news stories, and learn some neat things. There aren’t really local channels active for where I am.

I scroll Reddit by /all and what I see actively annoys me, is paywalled, is a repost, or is ragebait (or EPIC PWN RESPONSES to ragebait). I go to my local subreddits and there’s some value among all the paywalled content, repetitive text posts of whinging (stuff like tipping culture, driving habits, the less fortunate downtown etc.), and an overall domination of obviously AI-generated Alexa-like questions followed by sus answers.

I’d scroll Lemmy by ‘new’ any day over Reddit anything, other than for local news events/stories and for sports live threads.

Probably the most entertaining part of Mortal Engines was a scene from the museum of history where they revealed the Minions to be some kind of revered ancient deity

pretty much the future of every kickstarter product turned business that got skyrocketed to instant fame, with all subsequent investors being predatory VC funds and/or Shark Tank types (that doesn’t get a unicorn buyout from deep pockets)

Original kickstarter from 2013 where 297 backers pledged $307,332 to help bring this project to life

The letter W is both called “double-U” and looks like two letter Us combined (in some curvy fonts at least)

remember when they gave creators a searchable database to see if what you were working on would would result in either a block or a 3rd party monetization? Then they took that away because “it wasn’t used enough”? Great site.
