My stepdad would eat bananas with his mouth wide open as he chewed. And he’d chew each bite for a solid minute before swallowing. Even though it’s a banana and you can literally just mash it agains the roof of your mouth with your tongue. He would do this as he was driving, so I think he’d just get distracted and forget that he was still chewing food. But it made every ride to school in the morning an absolute living hell.
So I’m gonna go with bananas.
Thanks, I need to see an oncologist now.
Ahh, a voice changer right where it belongs: on the ankle.
DOLORES!
That’s rich.
The Princess Bride. It’s such a fun adventure that still holds up really well today.
Mbin is a fork of Kbin. A lot of users have moved from Kbin instances to Mbin, as the Kbin dev has had some personal life issues that have interfered with his ability to reliably work on the project.
I sometimes get fresh tortillas from the grocery store bakery, and the bags they use are the absolute worst. The zip-locks are fine, but the plastic the bag is made of is so thin that it can’t withstand the pressure needed to open the zipper, inevitably tearing the bag open and defeating the entire purpose of the zip-lock.
Elon is a fucking terrorist. Deport his ass back to daddy’s emerald mines.
The original Kbin dev is Polish, so English is likely a second language for him. Also, it’s still very early in development, so a lot of terminology put in use are likely placeholders until something more natural-sounding could be finalized.
Here’s an excellent video where a VFX artist uses CGI tools to visualize what said biomass would look like:

You can go to 6:20 if you don’t care about the methodology used to calculate the mass and just wanna see the ant tidal wave moneyshot.
But I’m sure Lemmy/Mbin probably won’t federate with Pixelfed, or Peertube.
Technically, they do! It’s not fully-integrated yet so the process is a bit hackish, but because the ActivityPub protocol works mostly the same on the backend, content from any of these platforms can appear on the others without much issue.
The biggest issue just has to do with the way you actually interact with each platform may not translate well on another compatible platform. For example, Pixelfed typically nests replies to comments only one layer deep, whereas Lemmy or Mbin will nest many layers deep. The actual nesting still works just fine when you view Pixelfed comments on Lemmy, and if you join in the conversation and reply in the middle of the thread, your post will nest properly for you and will show inline as normal for Pixelfed users. So in some instances, you may need to know a bit about what platform you’re posting to, on top of the platform you’re posting from.
There’s other quirks like Mastodon replies typically being preceded with @ing the user they’re replying to, which isn’t a thing on the Lemmy side of things. It doesn’t really change the way posting works, and you can choose to not do it and things will still work fine.
The unattainable is unknown at Zombo Com.
Allegedly, the legit fmovies mirrors are all down. The sites currently accessible are supposedly all clones.
At least, that’s what I’ve been able to gather. There’s a lot of mixed messages floating around this topic right now.
I’m not sure what the difference between SubClub or Patreon is supposed to be. Other than SubClub takes a smaller cut.
Imagine if these were dog-sized.
I saw how long it was and thought, I’ll give it a few minutes, but I sat through the whole thing.
A lot of Dr K’s videos have this effect on me! He does a fantastic job of explaining things in a way that anyone can understand. He goes really deep into the psychology and neuroscience of everything, so I always come away from his videos feeling like I’ve actually learned something.
I mean, how else do you expect things to work? Internet platforms aren’t free to operate. Isn’t paying creators directly supposed to be the ideal solution, instead of infesting pages with ads?
How was the process of getting diagnosed for you? I tried seeking a diagnosis a while back, but was told that it would be difficult to do without any kind of prior assessments from childhood. With mental health being so poorly covered by insurance, I’ve been hesitant to go through a lengthy evaluation process.
Nah he’s just always had no self awareness when it comes to the noises he makes. Lots of loud chewing while you’re trying to eat, grunting and snorting in the middle of a conversation, full-volume “whispering” in movie theaters, etc. He’s not even hard of hearing or anything (dude hears like a bat, honestly), he’s just a very loud guy lmao
