I don’t care what people say, the most important historical event in my lifetime was the discovery and release of the lost Steely Dan tape containing The Second Arrangement

  • The perspective of a map does not change how the cardinal directions relate to each other. You may be confused about how in slang, “south” may mean below and “north” may mean “above”, but that slang usage does not apply with geography where these terms are rigidly defined. The South Pole is categorically the southernmost point* — there is no location more south than the South Pole. The South Pole is located within Antarctica; ergo, there is no location more south than Antarctica.

    *it’s beside the point to distinguish between the Magnetic South Pole and the True South Pole for this discussion but I figured I’d mention it

    So many of OP’s post titles (including on their apparent alts) are weird generic questions that are fishing for engagement. They don’t seem to even “get” all the jokes they share. I’m not quite sure what their objective is, apart from maybe posting content for the sake of content to grow Lemmy/communities. It feels a lot like Facebook pages spamming generic content to grow an audience and then shifting to advertising a product and/or pushing propaganda.






  • I joined after Reddit’s API changes with that site’s willful negligence of its bot infestation on my mind. If the bar for “this account looks like a human” is raised by human users individualizing themselves more, then that requires more effort on bot makers to disguise their bots as people. Accounts look less bot-like with personalities, particularly those which are neither stereotypically normal nor a caricature of a few base traits. With my “The Son of Man” profile picture, as well as my profile description that is all three of esoteric, farcical, and personal, I wanted to be just the right amount of weird while also subtly (and perhaps subconsciously) commentating on the potentiality of Lemmy eventually falling victim to bot plagues as it grows. Despite all of this, I’ve since come across another user with the same profile picture (with a different level of zoom) who also happened to have the same cake day.
