They deleted it! That was absolutely meant for posterity

Baltimore has palak paneer pizza. Squeaky paneer + mozzarella? Yes yes yes.

Thanks friend! I share that link everywhere I go.

The number of people needed is huge, but it’s more like ~3% of the population. Strike cards and a critical mass of participants are key for us working people.

Seems sus to me. I get it, but then shouldn’t the shores of the Hudson River also be coast, and those counties counted as coastal counties?

I wish my app would give an option to have pages rather than an infinite feed.

Mine too

Is it also because the spiral is basically 2D, so from inside you can only see what’s basically 1D (aka the visible band of the Milky Way)? We would literally not have the perspective to see very much the rest of the galaxy in our sky.

Amazing, too, that the Andromeda galaxy is so bright that we can see it from our galaxy.

Can I buy this as a poster somewhere? I love maps, and somehow don’t have any space maps hanging up.

It was a fun fact until I clicked the link and realized that “arrows carried by the birds” are in fact arrows the birds have been shot with. Interesting history, thanks!

I’m fascinated by this. Also, Nicaragua is spelled incorrectly.

I see a chin on my cat?

When i need to think something through to myself i often start a recording app on my phone and literally talk it out. It helps narrow down the swirling and distracting thoughts, even if i never go back to the recording later. Is that adhd or a failing inner voice?

I never really understand what people are taking about when they say they have an inner monologue or don’t. Sometimes i think in words, sometimes i think in swirls and images, sometimes i don’t think…

I wonder if there would be enough people locally who want to moderate? That’s the biggest issue imo, along with it being taken over by concerns about schools and/or gross gossip.

I believe Topix was completely anonymous and unmoderated, and it was a train wreck. As a citizen of my town I was embarrassed that it existed. I remember specifically that any time a local principal made any changes at her school vile comments and threats would be posted about her. It was a major concern in her life until the whole site was taken down.

How to keep it from becoming disgusting like Topix? Vile things were said on those forums.

Hahaha yes, thanks!

Love your local library. The Lemmy app is a good way to access content.

Also pirating… I live in the southern US, where they keep underfunding my library.

I have seen multiple references to running software “on a potato” in the last hour. What in the world does it mean to run something on a potato? (Like… pickle electricity? That’s all I’ve got.) Please advise…

Also, does using Lemmy get me enough cred to get a high-paying tech job? Teaching in a public school isn’t paying the bills…

a/s/l ?
