Lol, I used to live near there and recognized it immediately.

Queens is a silly place.

Parasaurolophus gang unite!

And he went “Yeah but this technically doesn’t count, I had to quit because someone got sick.” and he still didn’t seem to realize that that’s exactly what happens to poor people too except they have no way to hit the “stop being poor until conditions improve” -panic button.

He’s running it like a business. Into the ground.

There is/was this guy who would make really intricate linoleum tiles with meticulously cut out texts describing his delusional ideas about conspiracies around resurrecting dead people. It’s seriously wild stuff.

He made it his life’s mission to spread this idea by distributing those tiles across a large area around Philadelphia but eventually covering a large part of the east coast. He covered the back of the tiles in tar and found an ingenious way of depositing them on busy roads, where other cars would then drive over them and firmly imbed them in the asphalt.

While that in and of itself would probably be classified more as a mental illness than a hobby, it did sprout a community of people who went to spot these tiles on the streets to document and map them. It is also believed that some copycats have emerged over the years.

There’s an amazing documentary about it called “Resurrect Dead: The Mystery of the Toynbee Tiles”. I highly recommend it.

Yep. I don’t know about similar communities on Lemmy because I avoid them like the plague, but I’ve been on reddit long enough to know that r/conservative is famous for preemptively not allowing anyone who doesn’t agree with them and immediately banning anyone if they go against the grain even a little bit, accusing them of being leftist infiltrators.

It’s the only way they can maintain their hateful bubble and their persecution fetish.

It makes for a very predictable pattern whenever something happens that MAGAts would be expected to dislike. They stay silent about it until someone higher up shows them an acceptable response or viewpoint and they all fall in line for fear of being ousted.

Aww jeez guys, why did no one tell me? All I got them was a whiny Lemmy comment, this is just embarrassing.

The fact that this was posted 7 hours ago and nobody has said “All I want for Christmas is you” by Mariah Carey warrants an entire episode of Unexplained Mysteries imo.

Wanna split a kilo?

The Netherlands elected a far right clown who let the coalition implode because -like a dog chasing a firetruck- he had no idea what to do but he had to come up with an excuse to blame others. Despite that, he’s still wildly popular.

The Netherlands had an anti immigration protest yesterday where shit was set on fire, so yeah. I don’t think it’s very safe.

Yeah I tried increasing the font size in my phone settings, the result is that in most app half of the words just disappear. They still only get the space allotted to them in the app and if they exceed those dimensions, that’s just too fucking bad.

You literally described my experience of the past decade. I’m an undereducated nitwit who happened to have grown up in one of the old nazi occupied countries and remembers the stories my grandparents used to tell.

I also had an unfortunate amount of exposure to narcissists (yay generational trauma) and the narcissist’s playbook is nearly identical to the fascist’s playbook.

In Trump’s case, they’re one and the same. They’re laughably easy to predict.

Technically, yes.

It’s sitting right next to her.

Casual Geographic covers this.

Chimps REALLY don’t like bullies.

Where he was already setting off the uncanny radar if memory serves. Seeing his reaction to hearing they found the body was pretty wild as well.

Why Styven, Why???

For real though, look up the sped up footage of this interrogation, this dude (Stephen McDaniel) is skinwalker-level eerie.

Nah, he legitimately works for the goverment.

I don’t know about Pixelfed but I’m pretty active on Mastodon and I get enough engagement there. I’d say it compares to Instagram like Lemmy compares to reddit.
