Not saying that the person in the post is correct in conflating those words, I don’t think that’s accurate at all.

However, it is disheartening to see so many ill-informed comments about fatness here… It’s way, way more complicated than just “calories in/calories out”. Even the extent to which it’s unhealthy is more complicated; obesity is linked to higher risk of heart disease, but also linked to higher probability of surviving strokes/etc. A lot of the problem stems from the fact that BMI is a nearly useless metric.

Makes sense to me, nothing to add! I hope the fediverse gets better for marginalized people…

Unfortunately Lemmy being a reddit-like platform, there’s likely gonna be a bunch of reddit-like people in these comments saying reddit-like things that go against one or all of these guidelines.

Woww wtf!!

The 40 hour work week was a goal set by people working way more brutal hours, not infrequently 7 days a week. People fought really hard for decades to change it, and when I say “fought” I mean literally. Many of them were murdered by the state or corporations for it. But they got there.

May I introduce you to the 4/4/4 movement?

I came to say the same thing about Camellia sinensis, thinking “am I about to be more of a tea purist than is even encapsulated in this chart?” So I’m glad somebody else got there first lol

Oh what a cool concept! I definitely have some to contribute

Is that a thing?? Ahhh I wish!

Work, unfortunately 🥲

I usually wait till they complain about something related to one of the big corporate platforms, then throw out a “you know, the fediverse has an ‘X’ now, come join us!” Just replace X with reddit/tumbler/youtube/etc, whatever platform they were complaining about.

Alternatively, I’ll share fediverse links in the process of showing memes to people.

Centralia is like a couple hours away from me, and I’ve always wanted to go see it. Mostly what’s stopping me is that I get the impression they don’t really like or want tourists around?

No.

Maybe I’m way off the mark here but… I think the reaction to tankies seems very overblown. No one you could describe as a “tankie” is currently in charge of any of the countries/companies/organizations that are busy destroying the world right now, so I don’t super understand why everyone’s talking about them like they’re at all a priority? The authoritarians that tankies are obsessed with are all either long dead, or totally unaware of their existence.

Maybe some people on the left are just trying to look at future dangers here, like tankies are gonna be “Bolsheviks Part 2”, somehow come into power, and then purge all the anarchists or something. But didn’t Bolsheviks actually have a lot of power and influence prior to the revolution? Tankies don’t seem to.

Remember how many days are in each month. I mean, I guess maybe I could if I tried harder, but I refuse.

Don’t you hate when that happens? Pictures are currently busted on my instance and the admin, while a pretty cool person I think, has been ominously quiet about it… 😅

Have we (Lemmy or the fediverse in general) ever landed on a “best practices” with respect to migrating accounts and one’s old content? Presumably if your instance goes down, any of your content that ever federated out exists somewhere or other, right? So could you just put a link in your profile, that leads to your previous account, but as seen through some (still existing) instance? Like: lemmy.b/u/old_account@lemmy.a

I guess that only works if by some chance instance b happened to catch EVERY post you made, which would require at least one person on b being subscribed to each community you ever posted in, right?

I’m not a fan of Bluesky, but i hear tell they got some sorta customizable sorting algorithm thingy right? Maybe it’ll have something like that!

I am very, very excited about it! I check for updates nearly every day lol

Pawpaws! If you get them just right, they’re like eating a banana-mango custard.

Isn’t that the app I used for voice training to get feedback from people? If it is, then that lol

Wafrn, in MY Lemmy?? It’s more likely than I thought!

Seriously though I LOVE Wafrn. I got into Tumblr right at the tail end immediately before it went to shit, and I always regretted not doing it sooner. Wafrn rules.

I’ve got one! Obscure textile crafts.

There are knitting/crochet communities of course, but all the super niche ones like ply-split braiding or smocking are too rare to warrant a whole community to themselves. On reddit there was a defunct sub called bistitchual, both for all obscure fibercrafts and for combinations of unrelated fibercrafts in one work. I wish we had it here.

If I could, I’d use a different kind each time! Jelly/jam/preserves/etc is so good. Last year, for the first time, we had just enough aronia berries to make a teeny bit of jam, and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since lol. So I’d say that would be my go-to for PB&Js if I had any.
