Lemmy is the best social media
  • Hexbear is... I'm just old I guess, I don't understand. My instance is not defederated from them. Whenever I'm reading a post that originates from hexbear, I can always tell. Like it will just hit me and I will look at the source and yep, it's hexbear.

    But I don't exactly understand why. I can't see that they have any particular worldview, they just have a unique (and contrarian) way of expressing... all worldviews, seemingly. It feels like an inside joke that I don't have enough information about to understand.

    Doesn't seem like bots, Russian or otherwise. Too vague. Not enough of a directed agenda. Is it just trolls? They seem to earnest to be trolls.

  • Ready to go get ourselves a piece of the action, Boss.
  • It's a 1954 Chevy COE 5700, but it looks like those only came in flatbed. Pic makes it look like it's been retrofitted with the back end of a 1954 Chevy 3100 panel van. It's probably Photoshop. The panel van's back end doesn't look long enough to do this. It could have been done irl by someone determined enough to make it happen - but then it wouldn't look like it does in the OP.

  • Is there any real physical proof that Jesus christ ever existed?
  • There also is a Wikipedia article which I think is not written that well. And a lot of education material by churches or religious organizations which I did not cite for obvious reasons.

    That's because Christian apologists constantly brigade those articles.

    Edit: lol, and downvote lemmy comments I guess

  • Removed Deleted
    TIL: The last time Paul McCartney and John Lennon spoke was on SNL
  • What the hell is this talking about? A "bet over the phone about the outcome of the show?" McCartney "called during the live broadcast" and this was "the last time the two ex-Beatles communicated?" Says who?

    The real story of April 24, 1976 exists, but the above words bear no resemblance to what actually happened. The story is here, complete with the SNL video here.

  • Old timers know
  • Oh god, I know all of these.

    Also fuck Tim Kosse. Bundled Filezilla with malware and fucked up my machine in 2014. Had to reinstall Windows. I'll never use it again.

    I use WinSCP on Windows and Forklift on MacOS.

  • Trump Turns Bitcoin Into Test of Patriotism
  • Tin-foil hat time but I'd be willing to bet they have mechanisms to do something resembling naked shorting with crypto. I have no idea what that voodoo might be, but they conjure shares out of thin air for shorting stocks, and they've managed to package crypto into ETFs some-fucking-how so why not. I feel like I'm increasingly noticing that nothing really seems to crash anymore.

  • Google Chrome’s plan to limit ad blocking extensions kicks off next week
  • I deleted my original comment before you replied because I am not really in the mood to defend this but the OP was talking about the pain of developing for different browsers and I don't care what is a fork of what, this is a fact: Chrome, Firefox and Safari all render differently and have to be catered to individually.

    Also, Safari, between desktop and mobile, has 30% of the market to Firefox's 8%.

    I don't LIKE it, but there are "effectively" three, not two, rendering engines.

  • "but- But- inflation go brrrr 🥺👉👈"
  • What's bullshit are the cherry-picked numbers on the chart and the jumpy x-axis.

    Edit: Article here quotes McDonalds as stating the Big Mac is up 21% since 2019. Sources elsewhere say the sandwich price is actually down since both 2014 and 2019, so who knows. If anything, I would expect Subway to have a higher point on the graph than it does.

  • Me at age six, at Star Trek: The Experience
  • I went there too. I think you're underselling the transporter. They acted like you were about to get on like a motion sim or something, lined everybody up on those rows in front of the doors, then everything went black, sparkles coming from everywhere, a giant rush of wind upward is what it felt like - very confusing - and then BAM, the lights came on and you were on the bridge of the Enterprise-D.

    Hell of an effect and something I'll never forget.

    And Quark's bar man. It was so cool.

  • Received this in the mail a couple weeks ago
  • Imagine defending a cult that protects child predators, will let its babies die before giving them a life-saving medical procedure, and drives members who quit to suicide by forcing everyone they ever knew to shun them.
