Everyone should post beans

[-] dsemy@lemm.ee 40 points 1 year ago

And not poop for 3 days

[-] Apeman42@lemmy.world 35 points 1 year ago

You want beans? I'll give you all the beans you can handle...

Look, the rewards outweigh the risks so its work it.

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

How soon we forget Lemmy’s first big meme.

3 days, no poop.

[-] Nobody@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Lemmings welcoming another Rexxitor, circa June 2023.

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 49 points 1 year ago

Toss a coin to your server. Oh community of plenty.

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 29 points 1 year ago

I was wondering that, actually. Many instances predate the Rexodus, but a lot of them sprung up around the same time as a result of that.

Trying to think of some way to celebrate on my instance. Maybe a birthday hat on my site icon for the day? lol

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 year ago

Replace the website with a picture of beans.

On second thought, don't do that

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 11 points 1 year ago

I've seen the reference a lot, but I don't understand it. At this point, I'm too afraid to ask. lol

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 24 points 1 year ago

Oh, how about that? I say we get drunk. Day drink! Day drink and post stupidly!

I totally forgot Ming-Na Wen was in that.

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 3 points 1 year ago

I didn't even recognize her, but as soon as I heard her voice it was clear. :-)

[-] PipedLinkBot@feddit.rocks 1 points 1 year ago

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

For me it was Tuesday

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

[-] Drusas@kbin.run 9 points 1 year ago

Act natural. Got it.

[-] MR_GABARISE@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

Let's name it a Beans Day instead of a Cake Day.

[-] MissJinx@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

Went to look and you're right, June 14, the exact day Boost for reddit stoped working. Now ai use boost for lemmy! :)

[-] CraigeryTheKid@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Shucks, I originally joined beehaw but they were blocking too many sites, and switched on September. Ruined my true cake day

[-] Blaze@reddthat.com 6 points 1 year ago

That's okay, changing instances at least once is part of the experience

[-] SacredHeartAttack@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

I assume I will forget to make myself a cakeday meme like I did every year I was on Reddit. Seems appropriate as a celebration.

[-] dukethorion@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Let's let Reddit Things die with Reddit.

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk -1 points 1 year ago

Jehovah's Witness tier argument

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago

Maybe it could be specific to each user?

Few ideas

  • a community for people to post in on their cake day, where they can comment on some aspect of their life that's improved in the last year / something they're grateful for

  • if you come across a cake day account, pop into their history and comment on something you find interesting

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

Note to self—don't make any comments on cake day

[-] TehBamski@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

The latter sounds great!

[-] mugthol@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

How about nothing? The happy cake day comments were even more annoying than "this" comments

[-] stelelor@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago
[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

Ah, complaining about the culture of the site was my favorite part of reddit culture

this place isn't what it used to be

[-] EtzBetz@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago
[-] GluWu@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

How about denim day? Bean jean day? Thigh high day? Cake is a lie, let's celebrate real linux twinks.

[-] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 year ago
[-] TehBamski@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Lemmy wish you a Happy Cakeday! May your post counts be high and your comments be gold.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

Canvas event?

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Mine's June 13th. One more month and I won't have posted anything on reddit for a full year.

[-] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Why is that a thing?

Same energy as a store giving me a birthday email.

[-] Gardienne@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

You must be fun at parties.

Birthday parties to be precise.

[-] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Are these birthday parties where we sit around selling each other the latest MLM garbage

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Wow it's almost been a year already?

[-] TehBamski@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It sure has. I knew it had been a while but didn't realize how close till we entered into May.

Showerthoughts

34403 readers
326 users here now

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
