The First Social-Media Babies Are Growing Up—And They’re Horrified
  • There are no communities for young people in my town. No communities in general except for church, and even they hold online services. Social media is all we have so trying to cut it out means isolation

  • Sorting by new on Lemmy isn’t a dumpster fire experience like it is on Reddit
  • LPT: You should brush your teeth every day

    1st comment: You should be using toothpaste!

    Reply to 1st comment: The real LPT is always in the comments

    Reply to reply to 1st comment: an essay about how their grandmother used to always brush her teeth everyday before tragically passing away

  • TIL many US companies in the late 1800s-1938 would pay their employees in company scrip, a currency issued by the employer and can only be used in company owned stores where they upcharged exorbita...
  • Elon wants to build a city from scratch in Texas, basically a Tesla company town. He's reportedly purchased 6,000 acres 35 miles from Austin and already there's a factory and some cheap housing plopped down in "Snailbrook, TX"

    edit for additional context, the land is in Bastrop county, which is between Austin and Houston (but much closer to Austin). I35 from San Antonio to Austin to Dallas is quickly becoming one giant strip of consumerism, and Austin to Houston will eventually go the same way. He's getting rural land just outside booming Austin and 1.5 hours from Katy in the Houston metroplex. Unfortunately it looks like an amazing business move

  • Part of the Social Security website (ssa.gov) only works during certain hours

  • What would be a good billionarie fight?

    I'm talking gladiator style: to the death. Obviously Dick Suckerberg is gonna thwomp Elon, but which two do you think would have a good, close fight? Here's some of my ideas...

    Joe Biden (Soul Eater, 80yo, 6') versus Bill Clinton (Painter, 76yo, 6'2)

    Clarence Thomas (Lawyer, 75, 5'9) versus Mitch McConnell (Whiner, 81, 5'9)

    Ted Cruz (Serial killer, 52, 5'10) versus Hakeem Jefferies (Senator, 52, 5'10)
