I used to check it when it was active and they were adding things to the Top 100-200 quotes, and now I check it for nostalgia. Still makes me laugh all these years later.

I almost forgot about Slashdot! Gosh, that was decent back in the day. I remember unsubscribing from their email newsletter years ago, after I noticed a consistent trend in topics being unfavourable to my ethos.

Thank you, I often do. I sometimes show her the Pacman game she got me whilst abroad, thinking it was Pokémon Yellow, and reminding her that I actually really enjoyed it and wouldn’t have known about all the various collections of Pacman if she didn’t follow my very crude description of Pikachu (which thinking back, could have been describing Pacman as well lmao).

She’s going through chemo treatments, so it’s more important to remind her of these things. For me at least.

I like this because it reminds me of Lemmings.

My mum has been a single mum her whole life, and when I was a kid she couldn’t always get the most popular games but I believe she was told Lemmings would be very good. She got an entire box set, including a Christmas edition! At first I was of course distraught, until my brother installed it on his PC and I would constantly ask to play it. So many hours went into it, and it’s not the first time my mum had really surprised me with something I didn’t know I’d end up appreciating so much. I think I still have it somewhere…

Those are probably just newbies. My Reddit account is about 12 years old, and Lemmy right now reminds me of the good days of Reddit. It’s ramping up that way.

I think it’s great. Read about philosophy, memes, and get the occasional booba in-between. It’s good Internetting.

Your choice is understandable, I haven’t come across any reason to switch as of this moment however.

I’m just going to assume if she disappears, at any point, that she is in rehab for meth. Lots of meth.

Are you talking about the option you can untick in the settings?

I use Adblock Plus on my desktop, and I have not had the message yet.

Apparently, since 1959, the arrangement must entail “nine rows of stars staggered horizontally and eleven rows of stars staggered vertically.”

To be fair I get most of my world news via memes.

What a time to be alive. Is difficult at times recognising what is actually a joke and what isn’t anyway, tbf.

Honestly I’m enjoying Lemmy for that reason: I’ve seen incredibly little rage bait. People are more likely to conversate and so on, even if it is for my silly little jokes (I like to make people laugh most of the time).

This gives me an early Internet feel, and I mean that in the best way possible. I really hope Lemmy continues to grow in time.

Haven’t thought of this, but I’ll have to give it a shot if I come across the option for sauerkraut on pizza. Thanks for the suggestion!

Got to give a shout out to pepperoni and pineapple. In my honest opinion it is just a couple levels above ham and pineapple pizza.

Press F12 and search for ‘buffer overflow’, and delete those lines. That should get the scroll working again on most sites.
