It’s a quote from the book Catch-22 and just popped into my head when I saw your user name. Highly recommend the book but there’s a short explanation of the phrase here if you’re curious.

Where are the Snowdens of yesteryear?

I made an account on lemmy.world because as I understand it you only see posts from communities on other instances if you or someone else on your instance has subscribed to them. So it seems like if you want the best lemmy experience you should join the largest instance, perhaps if that wasn’t the case more people would be willing to move to smaller instances.

I remember there was a kerfluffle about an Instagram influencer with the same clouds everywhere she went. There are filters for it apparently.

Huh, works for me rn. The sordid tale of Kentuckians with an unidentified artifact of unknown origin made of volcanic stone, its purpose shrouded in mystery. Is it a pestle or something far more sinister? Perhaps some kind of pestle for pounding taro root into a glutinous paste?!

I recognized the “not a butt plug”, it’s a Hawaiian poi pounder. Worth $1800 to $2200 if anyone’s curious.

A lot of fruits are closely related, like, oranges are actually a hybrid of mandarins and pomelos, so maybe explore a few fruits from different types. If you like nectarines maybe you’ll like peaches and apricots. Raspberries/blackberries etc.

Not sure where you live but there are some great tropical fruits, pineapples, passion fruit, lychees, mangosteen, star fruit. I’m biased towards lychee cause we have like 20 trees and they’re tasty.

I’d just find a good grocery store produce section and check out different fruits, go by smell, maybe ask if they’ll let you sample some. Sounds weird but I worked in a Safeway produce section for a while and the managers encouraged us to cut samples for people.

You’re a good writer, I read that 3 times. Very evocative, well-paced, humorous.

Any bot mitigation or account age requirements planned?

“The story so far: In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.” -Douglas Adams The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

1% of analog tv static is due to the cosmic microwave background, remnants of the early formation of the universe and critical evidence of the big bang. The og random bullshit signal.
