I laughed, but I wasn't happy about it.

We should be best friends. 👊

This is one of the most fascinating comments I've ever encountered on Lemmy

Are you thinking of that one small gap where you have to just walk over it without jumping, and trying to jump makes you fall?

I'm so glad to be seeing small and indie web stuff so often lately. I never played with gopher and Gemini. Today might be the day.

I feel like Dawson and, to a lesser degree, Tyson, go looking for high-fives for dunking on the dumbs, which doesn't do well at spreading an appreciation for science to those who need it.

Sagan and Feynman seemed to have a much humbler yet more effective way of helping people realize how amazing science can be if they'd just take some time to think about things and question what they believe they know.

All great minds in any case.

Happy Carl Sagan Day!

Boy, the trees are really sneezing today.

Every time I see the little "new content" blip next to someone I've subscribed to and it ends up being a short, I feel cheated.

That makes sense, thank you for the insight.

What's with the the fact that some words are randomly bolded?

Yesterday evening I was feeling the same way, so I started blocking users that are clearly posting inflammatory or aggressively brigadey content (note: not to be confused with things I don't agree with. It's about tone and tact, not content), or things that I find annoying to see over and over like the same trollish meme and emoji images. After only an evening of doing that, my Lemmy experience has been worlds better. I did notice a particular instance being the trend which makes me look forward to instance blocking, though at the moment I'd prefer to still do so on an individual user basis.

Coming out of lurker mode just to sigh at you for this.
