  We need a comedy necromancy community

  It’s apparently early in development, but there’s an ActivityPub implementation of wikis made by one of Lemmy’s dev.

  I checked for others who, like me, are too European to understand the joke: 50°F is 10°C.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ooooo lights⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s actually a very reasonable behavior if cars were normal predators: wait for the last moment before jumping out of the way so that the predator has to do a 180° and you’ve already left.

  I think that was a Calvin and Hobbes joke, wasn’t it?

  The same can be said about the thousands in the current year. We’ll basically wait 1000 years just to change the 2 into a 3.

  Here’s the secret: you pick it with a handkerchief on your finger.

  Thanks! I added “some nebulae” to remove any misunderstanding

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can we see the Milky Way if we are inside of it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  When we look at the sky, there is a line where there is way more stars than usual. This line goes all the way around the sky. This was called the milky way by the Greeks because it was like a road sparkled with milk drops. At some point, we deduced that we were in a group of stars arranged in a flat disk. Later, we realized that weird space clouds (nebulae) were much further away than we thought and were actually other huge groups of stars like our own that we named galaxies, still after milk.

  There are more details me course. Even along the line in the sky drawn by the milky way, there is one side where there is much more stars and dust than the other. We deduced that we were at the edge of the disk and the bright region was the center of our galaxy. Also, the amount of gas and dust that block certain types of light that teach us that our galaxy has arms.

  Are the US and EU late, or is it a deliberate business decision from EV car manufacturers to aim for bigger and luxury cars because they make more profit?

  I’d actually be down for huitante, in ordre to keep the latin root like other numbers instead of the greek one
