There’s got to be some meth-head scrappers that need this information.

That’s literally card punchers.

Edit: better link, with video.

I’ve never actually lol’ed at a Linux meme until today.

Hard agree with this. Does Reddit even have lawyers, or are they just using ChatGPT? Google, Meta, and Tik Tok already paid PII misuse fines for less than this. everything listed is part of the GDPR extended PII list.

Unrelated question: How do I short reddit stock?

Wait…am I fake?

For real, I think the question about “should I eat a whole chocolate cake” sort of opened the flood gates to people asking anything.

Meanwhile, OP said ask them anything - they answered like 3 questions. Answers were never promised, just the ability to ask anything.

That comes up in that sub occasionally and people offer it as a service. It’s 2 different universes in there - people who are like giving a child a Harry Potter toy wand that think they’re magic, and then a stage magician with 20 years of experience doing up close slight-of-hand magic that takes work to learn, telling the kid “you’re not doing what you think you’re doing here” and then the kid starts to cry and their friends come over and try to berate the stage magician and shout that he’s wrong because Hagrid said Harry’s a wizard and if you have the plastic wand that goes “bbbring!” you’re Harry Potter.

100% for real. On top of the fact that the 4th panel would read:

POOF NO MORE HUMAN RIGHTS NO MORE REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH NO MORE FREEDOM OF/FROM RELIGION

Agreed! (because then I would get 3 more points on the test)

Got the same, I can’t believe how many weird comments and extra random things can get added into an email address.

Sadly, this is a human trait overall. It’s deep in the lizard brain section from early in our evolution.

If someone is part of a group and then does something seen as against the interest of the group (or groupthink, really) then any tiny little thing can become a trait leveraged against them. Either the person on the outs basically accepts demotion on the social ladder and hopes for re-acceptance from the group as subservient to everyone, or they’re just out for good. It’s one of our worst traits from a rational perspective, it’s violent and irrational monkey-brain shit, and likely made for small homogeneous, tight-knit groups that could count on each other to survive harsh environmental conditions.

Yeah, I was reminded of webrings earlier this week. Which was an idea that was so short of accomplishing the goal of web discovery before search engines, but at scale today would be something worth looking at again. Basically decentralized internet tribes. As long as there’s activitypub plugins, it’s even federated.

Cattersnail?

No, Snailapillar!

Mr. Internet, tear down these walls! (for all these walled gardens)

Return the internet to the wild. Let it run feral like dinosaurs on an island.

Let the grannies and idiots stick themselves in the reservations and asylums run by billionaires.

Let’s all make Neocities pages about our hobbies and dirtiest, innermost thoughts. With gifs all over.

We need a resurgence in getting excited about manually finding weird stuff in weird corners of the internet.

Tear down the walls of all the shit gardens! Make Internet Feral Again!!!

I can’t conceive of people wanting to glue fake plastic eyelashes on their eyelids and not think it makes them look like a circus clown.

Yet people do that all the time.

People are generally pretty stupid.

When my spouse is feeling down, potatoes solve all problems.

This is how the internet used to be, for the most part. There’s no boatload of 27 JS and 15 CSS files to reference. There’s no batch of 110mb splash SVGs to load so I scroll down past 3 words and see 7 stock images before getting 1 sentence of information. It’s probably a 200kb site with a few 300kb images to load as well.

This is the work of an enlightened being.

The worst part is becoming accustomed to fresh, high-quality food and espresso within 100m of every human at all times.

Also, OP, why are you having “American Breakfast”? Where’s your croissant?

Christmas morning! Every single time I’m the person that pulls out the knife.
