  • I remember crashing in a friends room after a night of hard drinking, sleeping in a reclining chair. He gets up in the middle of the night, walks over to the closet, unzips, and straight up takes the longest piss I’d ever heard to date. Right on the carpet, which makes really curious splash sounds within the first several seconds of becoming saturated.

    So yeah, moving voluminous amounts of liquid through the human osmotic filtration system. I’m actually still quite surprised to this day that he didn’t piss all over himself in his sleep instead (or worse). And that was high school, I wince to think about how college went for him.







  • I’d go with state actors first.

    When a particular social media platform is centralized, you can buy yourself a say percentage of stock and have sway over it (cough tencent), or have a useful idiot ruin the platform (cough musk), or another useful idiot to run propaganda you like anyway (cough truth social, cough fox news, cough newsmax…), or yet another that will sell out it’s host country’s citizens for cold hard cash (cough facebook).

    But when that social media platform is decentralized? Well, then you’d need to figure out how to poison the well early on to stave off adoption. The Saudi Arabias, UAEs, Chinas definitely don’t like the idea of lemmy, and it’ll be way harder for them to control if critical mass is hit.
