Are we so certain that it is not a toilet paper roll? :-P

Let’s see what is left to cover…

You guys have whole entire inches from the wall to spare?

Wait… you guys have bathrooms?!

What’s this “until” crap? Now back to work you lazy fuck! :-P

Boss makes a (million) dollar, I make a dime tenth of a penny, that’s why I let crows eat my entrails on company time. :-P

You:

Google’s response:

What I replied to though said this:

That’s not really a tag though, you’d have the same search result just searching for “school”, right?

So it seems relevant to me that the search results are not identical?

Beyond that, it would find many more instances if people started using it, ofc, but the manner in which people use it may still facilitate easier searching - e.g. instead of casually bantering around with “school”, “college”, “education”, “edumacashiun”, if you knew that a specific term was used like “#school”, then you could still find it easier.

Anyway, I am not here to defend using hashtags - I have no skin in that game and truly don’t care one way or another. I just did not want OP to feel attacked like we are a bunch of Karens asking to speak to the manager about their choice of language:-P. Lemmy has little enough content as it is - we want moar content creators, not to turn away people offering us free stuff to distract us from the pain of existence enjoy!?:-)

Having just tried it, no. There are many instances of the word “school”, but I only saw a single one with “#school”.

I often want to use the search to find things, but cannot due to the deluge of irrelevant crap. Also the terms seem broken in that while some work 100% of the time, others 100% of the time fail to function as stated - e.g. asking for “all” results from the last “top 6 hours” ago returns MANY comments from 10 months in the past, though no posts prior to 6 hours ago, so it functions only halfway i.e. it does not work at all if my aim was to find a particular thing.

So if OP wants to use hashtags, and they help, why try to restrict them? We are supposed to be the welcoming Fediverse here!!? :-)

While not automated, typing those terms into the search bar does function to retrieve posts with those hashtag terms. So OP is not confused - rather, they are taking us all #backtoschool:-).

Show us what you got!?

How do we know though that that is not how they calmly & casually just say “hello” in their world? :-P

The Eldritchen horrors that we saw are not the reason that… uh I mean, there is no such thing as… uh I mean it was a technical glitch, I swear!

Finally - now I can enjoy truly vegetarian foods, knowing that my food cried before it died! :-P (\s)

Too soon?

We probably need content labels on Lemmy, but I figure that we are mostly all adults here.

While 99% of the news media at this point is clickbait, this one at least adds new information: “Enshittification… has been named 2023’s Digital Word of the Year.” The original article did not say that:-).

Also, yes there are ads, but also it’s not blocked by a paywall so… checks and balances. Whereas X is basically just fully trash at this point, now that Musk has cancelled Twitter:-P.
