For me it’s between this masterpiece and Untitled Goose Game.

Well, at least those other humans

Bruce Dickinson wrote a song about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yE-2IhIwvek&t=2

Anytime!

as the defectors must take courses on South Korean society before they are formally integrated

Would love to see what these courses entail

I think you did a great job distilling it. I can see many parallels with other communities I know too.

You just described the Esperanto community 😅

First thing I thought of when reading OP haha

Steven Seagull!!!

Read somewhere else that the engine in that plane lies really close to the ground, and the guy (maintenance worker on his first day) got suckered in. Can’t say if any of this is true but that’s what I read.

With that kind of propulsion politically available, I doubt finding workable combinations of mitigation strategies to interstellar medium hazards would be the showstopper. Especially not one to hold us back for time scales that oceans did. Getting humans interested in prioritizing projects like that, to me, is the real headscratcher.

We could put people on Alpha Centauri in 88 years with 50s technology like Project Orion. The really hard part is figuring out a way to make us use the technology we do have for things like that, instead of for bombing each other back to the stone age.

It was a lot later (1300s), but Ibn Battuta seems to have done just that. Guy leaves Morocco and just keeps going on and on, till he ends up in China. Though perhaps even more incredibly he actually does come all the way back. The historicity of his accounts is disputed and maybe only a part of it is true, but even if he only got as far as India, I still find it fascinating to imagine doing at that time.

Sadly, that would have to be one huge island.

They didn’t specify box-sizing, so it will default to inner.

Some of the best instances are those focused on a subject. I especially like programming.dev, mander.xyz (science) and slrpnk.net (solar punk movement or “practical utopianism”).

That was a great video, thank you!

This filter was very controversial, especially because at first it was hardcoded into Lemmy itself, and the devs initially were insistent in keeping it that way. Fortunately they eventually allowed it to be configurable by instance, which is a much more sensible approach. Especially considering other languages and even some english variants. And while most people like you and me appreciate the intent, many are still unsure if this is a good approach to fight the problem. It does seem hard to avoid a lot of silly false positives. I remember someone mentioning being really confused by this “Sremovedew Valley” mentioned everywhere, until they realized it was just Stardew Valley being mangled by the filter.
