They always have fun with the “attribution” of that incomplete explanation tag for new comics 😄

I don’t know about this one, I think Randall would be a good president. I support his policies.

It does say that. I think you’re the first person to take advantage of that, but this is the place. That’s what this community is for, general discussion with the instance
Welcome to Lemmy & Lemmy.zip, glad to have you here!

Only the website unfortunately, it’s a separate thing from Lemmy/Masto/etc. Personally I’m using the Numbers style on the template. The number corresponds to the index of the color in the pallet (starting at White=0), so you just have to count to get the right color. That works for me on mobile

Nor did I! That was just a reference to German communities being incredibly prevalent on r/place (and the first Canvas), with giant german flags stretching all across the canvas. r/placeDE is a well-oiled machine, peak German efficiency
- Comment on Lemmy.zip on Canvas 2024 4 months ago:
Gonna need a few more Germans for that, methinks 🤣

So it’s the ancient Roman blacksmith’s version of Benchy. Got it
- Comment on Lemmy instances die twice 6 months ago:
The TLD TL;DR is basically that domains don’t come out of nowhere. Just like how you need a lemmy.zip domain to be able to have the subdomains next.lemmy.zip or old.lemmy.zip, in order to have the domain lemmy.zip you must first have someone to run the .zip top-level domain (in this case, Google)
Like Forester mentioned in the other comment, you can have any combination of letters you want as a TLD, you just have to set up and manage all the infra for it (or find somebody else to do it for you)

Yeah my first thought on that was I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles), but I decided to look up “1000 Miles” just to be safe and said “oh yeah”

Haven’t had any interactions with ST.W personally, but I feel tempted to share the testimony of someone who begs to differ (@Stamets@lemmy.world of !tenfoward@lemmy.world): lemmy.zip/post/9940581
- Comment on Radical Equality 8 months ago:
I wonder if this was inspired by a recent xkcd?
At text: People may complain about readability, but even with jpeg compression, extracting the data points is usually computationally feasible if there aren’t too many of them.

There’s always a relevant xkcd: Image
(actually quite a few in this case…)

That’s been well-documented already

Huh. I know Masto doesn’t do Markdown formatting, but I think that would’ve worked here. I guess escaping that does make more sense though
- Comment on And I will die on this hill. 10 months ago:
Yeah not all the way, but still a lot closer than many people think (also “Orgy on My Own”)

*clears throat in Weird Al fan that’s long gone off the deep end*
And for commercially released stuff, there’s also One More Minute with the line “Now I’m stranded all alone in the gas station of love, and I have to use the self-service pumps!” and the entirety of Wanna B Ur Lovr is just innuendo after innuendo
- Comment on Whatever I use 10 11 months ago:
“A pig without 3.14 is 9.8”
3.14 = first few digits of π (pi)
“pig” without “pi” is “g” (not math, just letters)
g = term for acceleration due to gravity (on Earth) = 9.81 m/s²
