Okay I agree that subscriptions are dumb, especially when you already own something. And I know capitalism is a fucking hellhole.

However, they did not steal the money you paid them. It has been 1,279 days since April 11th 2021. You paid $2.15 total for the app, per your screenshot. Assuming you used the game every day, let’s break down that cost to cents per day. It works out to 0.168ths of a cent per day for ownership during this time. For a game you clearly enjoyed playing, you paid about a cent per week, which was used to pay the employees who were supporting the maintenance and possibly further development of the app. that money wasn’t stolen, it was used to support the thing that you enjoyed.

Does it suck that you can’t use it anymore? Absolutely!

Should you be able to own your purchases forever? Yes!

Is the system fucked? You better believe it!

Did they steal $2.15 from you? … no.

Years of nail biting

Edit: I mean also the genes for a different thumb shape that inherently has a shorter nail in the first place; but besides that, the nails that are even shorter than the others in this pic would be due to habitual nail biting

I love him

Fixed cats live longer. Spaying decreases the likelihood of cats developing certain types of cancers.

Friends of mine literally last week had to put their cat down because she developed breast cancer and rapidly deteriorated (we’re talking painful skin ulcers here.) If the cat had been spayed at a young age, she would likely still be here.

And as others have said, spaying is the wise choice in case she were ever to accidentally get outside.

This post led me down a 2 hour binge of various cave Wikipedia articles. I’m not complaining, it was really neat. Thanks for sharing this!

I love his coat coloring! Like the front half is tuxedo and the back half is tortie. What a cutie pie.

…no the question at the top of this comment thread is “who is it?”

And in which case, the answer is written in the subtitle of the article, a single click away. Literally the text when you load the page is:

"Celebrity Number Six’ Internet Mystery Is Solved

Jason Koebler, Sep 9, 2024 at 10:28 AM

Spanish model Leticia Sardá is Celebrity Number Six."

Idk the source, but if you zoom in, it looks like maybe the notch is the top of a speech bubble. So I think it’s an identical frame with the bubble on top of the last one.

I say this largely to convince myself it’s not worth staring at any more 😅

Women are you going out of town for the weekend of the day 😄

It suggested the emoji too

Everyone is so impressed 💀 Y’all, he’s spraying. You can see his pee drops land on the bed in the first clip 😅

Growing up we were on a swim team and my brother would chew on his goggle straps while waiting for a race. My parents bought us some flavored goggle straps lol. I think they were blueberry flavor…

Goggles aren’t even something designed to go in your mouth like a mouth guard, but I guess they knew kids chewed on them so why not

I remember this one from that one episode of House.

Our kitty is Scout, who we call Scooty. And sometimes Scooter/Scooterella/Scooterbutt/Scootypuff Junior. She prefers the Xbox controller over the Steamdeck though.

Cool! A TNR kitty!

If you see a stray with an eartip (the top point removed from one ear) this is a sign of a Trap-Neuter-Return cat. It’s the sign that an outdoor kitty has been caught, fixed, and then returned to their outdoor home. It means some humans care about this cat and their colony 🙂

More on ear tipping. More on TNR.

This reads like a Rimworld post.

I don’t think there’s a Rimworld community on Lemmy and I’m not going on Reddit anymore so I’ll just throw this comment into the void and hope some fans are out there. 👋

Also in Rimworld terms the answer is corn (if monoculture) and send everyone to harvest at the first sign of blight.

But in both Rimworld and real life, a monoculture strategy isn’t sustainable. Diversifying via multiple food sources reduces your risk of disaster leading to starvation.

This is hilarious.

My husband runs our Lemmy instance, and he’s subscribed to the Linux community, which is one of the most active on Lemmy (I probably don’t need to tell you that.) I’m basically just here for memes and I ultimately blocked the Linux community because it was all over my feed. I’m a normie and I just don’t care about Linux whatsoever, not enough for every other post to be about it anyway.
