Good bot!

What is the syntax for summoning it?

Shorter too, which is always good for a community name. You win!

Don’t think I’ve seen that review of Alien before. Thanks for sharing it.

She was a real frood, even a hoopy, if you will.

“Woman of the Year!”

The booster is ~70 meters tall or ~230 feet.

The doctor says something in a stem tone

[email protected] moment?

a man described in the medical literature who developed a growth the size of an orange. Yet because it grew very slowly, the man’s brain was able to adjust, shifting memories elsewhere, and his behavior and speech never seemed to change—even when the tumor was removed.

Wow, that’s wild.

Happy cake day!

At first one half of my thumb was entirely numb, and over the course of well over a decade I’d get pins & needles as bunches of nerves would finish regrowing, except attached to random channels in the nerve bundle, so my brain had to completely remap all those signals to what they actually meant.

It felt super weird because hot, cold, pain & touch were all mixed up, but eventually my brain sorted them out.

Wow, that’s fascinating. Thanks for sharing your story.

Allow me to introduce you to the concepts of “blind holes” and “through holes”…

Any updates on this? From the GitHub page, it looks like work on notifications is contingent on fixing an SQL paging problem. How is that issue going?

For some time now (not a recent 19.5 issue), I’ve encountered an issue where the UNpinning of a post is not federated to remote instances.

A workaround I’ve found is to delete and undelete the post, which seems to force the federation of the unpinning action. Bit of a hack though, and would be nice if it were fixed.

Edit: Looks like this has been/will be fixed.

Also r/AMA had some very fun high profile figures hosting AMAs.

Until, y’know, the Victoria Taylor AMAgeddon.

The OP of this post is actually trying to start something similar on Lemmy, though they are still somewhat inexperienced with the platform. I wish them all the best and hope they succeed.

got told by an older boy I knew when I was just 8 and honestly that was not great

Yeah, that’s probably not the best way to find out.

there’s an age of innocence that needs respecting IMO

I’m not sure I necessarily agree. I had books like Visual Dictionary of the Human Body within reach since I was a toddler, so I don’t recall the ideas of “sex” or “where babies come from” ever being a big deal or a shocking revelation.

if you still believe in Santa

Funnily enough, I don’t think I ever believed in Santa either, so I guess your barometer checks out :)
