Some of us hopped online in the 90s and 2000s 'cause it was FUN to chat with people all over the world... for free!

Happy Death of James Cook day to those who celebrate. On 14 February 1779 British explorer Captain James Cook was killed as he attempted to kidnap Kalaniʻōpuʻu, the ruling chief (aliʻi nui) of the island of Hawaii, and hold him hostage for the return of a cutter which Hawaiians had stolen.

I regret to inform you that I have gone further down the terrible rabbit hole that is Elsie the Cow.
If you squint at enough eBay listings trying to read the words, you find a saga of a marriage gone mad.

This morning, I got distracted while eating cheese because I remembered that the laughing cow is named Elsie and is married to Elmer the cow on the glue labels. To doublecheck that I hadn’t hallucinated that, I looked it up and fell down a dark internet rabbit hole.

I've suffered more pressure to eat baconed things than vegan items
in an era when carnivore diet influencers are in charge of the american nuclear arsenal we have to admit the "annoying vegan" stereotype barely ever actually existed and the "all meat diet guy" is real, increasingly omnipresent, and way more annoying and inconvenient to actually be around

Blueskyese and Xian share an obvious common root as both being Twitteric languages, the difference is that after the split Xian became a hybrid Twitteric/Channer-linkedin tongue, while Blueskyese changed less overall but did pick up some tumbleric and redditor loanwords
yeah Bluesky is primarily a Tumblric language

Why are rich people so boring. You have so much money and you can't spend it on anything ostentatious? Nothing opulent? Even their yachts look sterile. You can fund art and instead choose minimalism. Ugh.

I keep noticing that like 3/4 movies from the early aughts posted on the @worstmovies.bsky.social account are about men chasing sexy teenagers.
Like I almost feel gaslit by some of you who seem to want to convince me that I did not grow up in a culture that openly celebrated teenage girls as the peak of female sexual attractiveness and talked about them as the forbidden fruit that all men secretly list after.

Ducks Unlimited sends a promotional sticker of a…mandarin duck?
DU’s work has benefited a lot of waterfowl species but the mandarin duck (an Asiatic duck often kept in aviaries) isn’t one of them.
Conservation communications should be done by real people, with real natural history knowledge.
