I've pulled one of those wireless trimmers apart when it quit working. I found a rechargeable AA battery soldered in there.

There is no way this could go down that would not immediately get turned into either a new theory or used as evidence of a theory already in existence.

I think it would be wildly different.

Maybe it would be a space where users can straight up post pictures and move them around in a large space. Not pixel by pixel, but a whole image at a time, in a space big enough to fit thousands of pictures.

Maybe it would be a collection of symbols and flags where users add a dot below what they identify with.

Maybe it would be a shared drawing canvas, where users can do freehand lines, outlines, and fill with colors like MS Paint, but all at once and over each other. Basically an internet graffiti wall. To align with the ideas of Lemmy, it would be possible to "wall off" off bits of the greater canvas, and block the rest of the users so that only one community/magazine /server can draw on that space, while any unclaimed area stays wide open for anyone.

Maybe it would not exist at all, because the whole mentality of the Fediverse might not support enough collective expression.

It would be news, and even harder to believe as real news.

Yeah, I'm having trouble seeing this as real news.

Not interested in learning

Complains constantly

Wants things for free

Doesn't deserve your help in this area.

One of several secondary reasons why making a Fediverse reference on Place is so hard to maintain is that the Fediverse is built for far less uniformity and tribe mindset.

Edit, I did say one of several secondary reasons. I have no illusion that I've spotted the #1 main reason.

This whole thing is so cool to me. It's all the memes from the time that I discovered memes and couldn't stop laughing at every new meme and all the variations and rehashing of the ones I'd gotten to know before.

Google, duck duck go when I don't want to see ads for days based on what I'm searching, Bing and Perplexity when I want to avoid doing a series of searches to learn something.

"times less" is not an intuitive, easy to understand way of referring to a decrease in some amount or percentage.

This mod seems familiar. They may be the offending party behind my worst experience on Reddit, and the only mod I ever blocked.

Handed me a temporary ban for responding to a post written to the wrong sub. They didn't have time to write out a redirect link to copy and paste for lost redditors, but did have time to mark me as trouble and berate me when I suggested redirecting users. Since a temporary ban "wasn't enough," they gave a longer ban so I would "learn my lesson."

Really put a damper on my whole reddit experience.
