Those names are taken from Iain M. Banks’ Culture sci-fi series.

A couple of weeks ago my 4.5 yo casually leaned over during lunch, vomited on the floor, then went back to eating as if nothing happened.

Nice

I thought they drank Parmalat up there in Canada.

Yeah but they’re out

Applies to tires also, and for the same reason.

Not to mention it’s literally a “Choosy devs choose GIF” joke, aping “Choosy moms choose Jif”. Soft-g homies for jife.

I suppose you pronounce jpeg as “j-fey-g” too, then, since the P stands for “Photographic”?

Or perhaps you argue that to doesn’t count since it’s on the P and not the Ph included in the acronym. In which case I guess we’re just abandoning all connection to the root words and we’re back to the fact that it’s okay to pronounce it “jif”.

Also the creator pronounces it jif because he was goofing on Jif peanut butter and wanted a “choosy devs choose GIF” joke. So I’m going with that.

Also it makes people mad and that’s funny.

He looks a bit like Jason Segel ate a bee.

Most people get to have sex at least six times for this.

I’m sure his mom will step in, just like she did with the cage match.

Yeah, I think I did misconstrue the actual issue. SEO might not be as strong, but everything can be searched just as well. Great!

Okay, sounds like I did misunderstand. I’m happy to be wrong, thanks for explaining!

Right, I may be totally misunderstanding the problem.

If it’s just that lemmy needs time and interaction from the community to build that knowledge, then great! No problem. But what I understood was that lemmy’s communities and conversations simply aren’t made accessible to wide-searching like that.

Yes and no. My daily scrolling habit has been moved to lemmy and I haven’t really felt any loss.

However, and this is a big caveat: Reddit remains a huge source of institutional knowledge. Half a dozen times weekly I’ll look something up and the most relevant answer/discussion will be from Reddit. As I understand it, lemmy will never fulfill this need, because it’s not scraped the same way Reddit is? Or perhaps I’ve misunderstood something about the way federation works. If that’s true, it’s a huge blow to the long-term use of lemmy v. Reddit.

Lmao it absolutely was not.

They’re not all classics.

This is just regular Vogon poetry.

Oof.
