Wow, I never knew the original was from 1942. I've never seen it before and I played that game a bunch.

Do they always spit out stuff that's too big? I put stuff that's bigger than my throat in my mouth all the time. That's what chewing is for.

I think the question at that point is "How often is there a completely new way to use the Internet socially, either inside or outside of the federated space?"

I don't think it happens very often. Blogs, messsage boards and dating sites in the '90s; microblogs, photo and video sharing in the '00s; short form video sharing in the '10s if that counts as a separate thing. There's only like seven types of social network in the three decades or so they've existed.

The article never suggests any physical violence, though. The problems he reported to CBS are a "hateful sticker", "threats online", "somebody tried to cut me off" and "three guys pointing the middle finger and [...] screaming at me". Not super cool either, but they're not physical violence. Those last two might even be legal, depending on the circumstances.

For anybody curious, since the article doesn't mention what the "hateful sticker" was, from a quick search it was: "NAZIS FUCK OFF".

What's the spring situation like here? Did mattresses not have them back then? Have they been removed?

UX means "user experience". It is distinct from the UI. OP is basically saying the process of signing up to federated social media is too complicated for the average user, not because of the way it looks and how you interact with it (the UI) but because of it's not as easy to understand the concepts behind how Lemmy works.

Same for Interstellar for Android, which supports both Lemmy and Mbin accounts.

If you're accessing via the official web viewers, you're out of luck, as far as I know. Both Lemmy and Mbin have open issues requesting keyword filtering, if anyone wants to follow progress or contribute.

Haha, that one ClickHole article has its own Wikipedia article:

I wouldn't bother taking anyone who uses "this country" unqualified on the Internet seriously. Even if they are being serious.

Maybe they're just leaning into the Mastodon theming by talking like cavemen.

I'm no expert, but Wikipedia says half of one death cap can kill. For some reason, they don't offer an upper range for what will kill.

That doesn't mean you'll have an OK time eating it in small amounts; it will still make you violently ill and cause damage to your liver.

Before I continue, I want to stress that this is not medical advice or even a personal recommendation. Do not do what I am about to say.

In the case above, the important part is spitting it out. The toxins enter the body via the intestinal walls (which is also why symptoms are fairly delayed), so a taste and spit--and probably some rinsing and even more spitting--will mean that relatively little poison makes it any further than your mouth.

Again, I'm not an expert on mushrooms, medicine, poisons or anything else. All of this is from casual reading from the Internet. Don't eat poison.

I'm worried you haven't brainstormed enough hypotheticals where this isn't offensive. What if the teacher had their Bluetooth in and they were talking to a real terrorist? Or what if the kid's name is Terrorists? You feel pretty foolish now, don't you?
