I "turned off" gmail entirely instead. I don't want AI sorting my results, or reading my emails to tell me what to write in reply.

Reddit is all on one domain, so a search on that is a fairly simple thing to do. Lemmy is a lot of different inter-connected sites, most of which don't even contain "Lemmy" in their name, making it a much more difficult ask.

Looks like she's rehearsing for Chicago.

He had it coming... He had it coming...

He ran into my claws. He ran into my claws, 6 times..

A. the 000666 dice.

Failure is capped at rock bottom, whereas the possibilities for success are infinite, so the brilliant success should outweight the miserable failure.

I assume this is the dice for people like Trump. Fail miserably and get convicted in your court case, then get elected president of the united states anyway.

I'm sure there are plenty of things, but I don't care enough about them to bring them to mind, let alone type them out.

I think it's a safe bet that the "wasteful spending" won't come from politician salaries and staff. As It always does it will come from frontline service delivery and programs that benefit society. They will make a big deal about how much they have saved, then people will start to complain about things like not being able to get their aged pension and they will quietly start increasing staff numbers again, ready to start the whole cycle again in a few years.

As an Australian I will welcome our new emu overlords. I presume this will lead to some major social changes where men take on the primary role in childcare and where feather dusters become a status symbol.

The United States of America will become Ununited. A group of states will break away and wall themselves off from the rest of the country, creating their own Trump worshipping society. They will create their own version of utopia and tell stories about how the rest of the world is going to die off because they will make everyone transgender and have no more children. The rest of the world will rejoice and join together in actually fixing climate change, eradicate poverty and spread the Eurovision worldwide.

In 100 more years the walled off states will emerge to repopulate what they expect to be an empty planet with their own eugenically created race of clones and finally realise that they were completely and utterly wrong.

Or on the pessemistic side, the research that would lead to that is defunded because someone mistakenly believes it will make transgender dogs.

You must have been on a fancy server, where I was it was only potatoes.

Once you hit a certain size you become a tempting target for bots, spammers and trolls. Managing that is going to be a challenge.

Aren't we getting fancy! When I moved over after the api changes all we had was potatoes. Lemmy is definitely improving with each new wave.
