I swear I learn more about LOTR from comment sections under memes than anywhere else.

Could be a plane dragging a banner!

It’s like reading a news article and seeing horribly constructed sentences and typos. Like, this is your main job! I know there are a lot of English majors out there who would love to find work.

Omg, thanks! I noticed that it had hit a million recently, and I was thinking about writing up a post to commemorate it and maybe share some thoughts about my experience posting like a madman on the fediverse for 6-7 months so far. If I do, it’ll probably be on the c/fediverse community, unless anyone can think of a more fitting one.

I’m also surprised it’s still visible! My instance upgraded to 0.19 recently, which supposedly takes away the upvote count from your profile view. I was secretly hoping to make it to one million before the upgrade happened… Lol

(Edit: also glad to hear you got into TNG!)

I’ve noticed that some people do use other filters than “Hot” or they scroll back in smaller communities, because I’ll occasionally get comment replies to posts I made months ago. It’s cool to see.

Does the Active feed work this way?

God, can you imagine if we had to go to some sort of DMV-like building to wait in person for Comcast customer support?

People would starve.

Turns out the city doesn’t have flamboyantly dressed supervillains at all. Batman is just running around Gotham, sleep deprived as hell, grabbing confused commuters by the shoulders and accusing them of being The Penguin.

Isn’t ‘quarter of’ 10:15?

(I always use “quarter to” or “quarter til”, but never “quarter of”)

Is there more to life?

Duct tape?! That"s a wild home remedy.

It was a near immediate campaign to convince people not to believe their lying eyes and ears. I think deep down, the spin doctors know that they’re lying though.

It made the world weird - especially politics. I still attribute the extreme polarization that we see today to the aftermath of 9/11.

Don’t get me wrong, I know people had strong opinions before 2001, but it didn’t seem like political party was as significant a part of the average person’s identity like it is now.

Sorry I may have some pent up anger.

Nothing a good night of sleep can’t solve!

I’m going to send you so much garlic

You’re not supposed to notice such things.

Anti-skip?

It’s honestly pretty rare for places to not have one in the US unless you’re in the downtown part of a major city. Sometimes when walking downtown, it feels like every shop’s bathrooms are staff-only.

It’s really disappointing how much of our space is privatized.
