I did exactly the same. I found lemmy through a reddit post about alternatives to Reddit. And after 13 years as a daily reddit user, once RIF went down, I haven't gone back.
I do wish we'd get more traffic with the science communities but I've still noticed slow and steady growth since then.
I headbutted a guy for a carrot the other day. I don't know what came over me.
The vast majority of us dont give two shits about any of this either. It's just 24hour news cycle slop. Anything for the clicks.
"Ow, My Balls" is a claaaassic.

This may sounds nuts but i have a simple formula I like to follow. A Coke with no ice but still cold or a Pepsi with ice. A Pepsi without ice or a coke with ice tastes different.
711 was a part-time job.
I've never been stung by a bee either! I've had a wasp get me a few times but bees and I have a unspoken truce, I guess. We have carpender bees all around our house and my wife hates them but I enjoy watching them have those valiant mid-air dog fights. Those little bastards can scrap. They never bother or dive bomb me but sometimes they get curious and kinda hover around me, presumably doing a bee's version of a vibe check. I dont run or swat at them and they just peace out after maybe 15-20 seconds and then ignore me next time Im outside in "their" territory. ... My wife on the other hand, swats, screams and runs from them and they'll straight up go after her. She clearly does not pass the vibe check. It's wild.
It's absolutely safe to put your PS5 in the microwave.
You can put it in the fridge and It will be okay to play on for a couple more days.
It's still crazy to me that this is the same program I used to browse CS zombie mod servers. There was no real store to speak of then.
