I think they mean they just took a huge bong rip and suddenly became the smartest person in the room.
Treadles were the first source of power in the industrial revolution. Coal came way later.
Looking at that graph and extrapolating from your comment, you’re saying the industrial revolution started in 1900?
There’s that guy that did that. He said it wasn’t a very good sandwich.
*as this is a youtuber thread, he has a channel. It’s okay. https://youtube.com/@htme?si=qfrFo68rA3Wi4cTL
I guessed its because the purchase leaves a sour taste in your mouth.
I’m that level of user that will block the ever loving shit out of everything but not do much to make it better. The problem is that once you’ve blocked everything you have pretty much zero interest in there isn’t much left on lemmy. Still better than reddit though.
Yes, but I’m talking about mass adoption. Very few users care, they want to scroll through and see stuff they like. They don’t want to curate and host and delve into the intricacies. Until such time as someone makes lemmy palatable, the masses won’t eat it.
You say surrealism is anti-fascist. Then you say cruelty and absurdity are the same thing (two sides of the same coin). Then you try to clarify by saying they are two separate things but have a commonality (two coins same side). I think ying/yang is more fitting, and quicker to the punch, in that there can be a little cruelty in absurdity and vise versa, which you were dancing around with your ill fitting metaphor. So, yes, I don’t think so. Clarity is in the eye of the beer holder.
Sailing. Boating. Sewing. Those are they tops ones I miss from reddit that had active users. Instead we have 7000 communities for linux and pervy anime.
Lemmy won’t catch on until there are groups of communities you can ban at once. Sports, Linux, German, pervy anime… It’s a very rare user who will put up with the absolute dreck of the initial feed and manually block communities until they have a feed that’s marginally personalized.
Then there’s the fact that any communities that are specific to peoples interests are completely empty.
Your metaphor is not working. Cruelty and absurdity are Ying and Yang?
If you use a stick with two points in it, its called a trammel.
It’s been less and less for the last ever. It did freeze over solid, as did all the Great Lakes, about 10 years ago but that seems to be an outlier. Now there’s been not much by the shore let alone any for ice fishers. I’m talking about Georgian Bay, off Lake Huron.
There was a railway built to my town which had a big industry supplying ice to the large cities in the south. There was a long conveyor belt built into the lake leading to a large building stuffed with saw dust that kept ice well into the summer. It created a lot of winter work for the locals that dried up after refrigeration was invented. The railway lost its usefulness and also got torn up. And now the bay doesn’t even freeze anymore.
Nobody will probably remember canv.as but you would give people emoji stickers like that. Cookies were the participation award. I loved that site.
Thats wasn’t the Park Mall was it? The town I grew up in had the same pool that had to get shut down and emptied because the mob had built it shodily.
I totally count sinew as string. That probably led to plant string. Think about really fine string, or thread, and think about how many miles of it you carry around on you every day. It’s crazy how taken for granted it is!
I think he means coherent.
