Tony hawk gazes upon the mountains before him. The pale mountains of Switzerland, in the multilingual country of Switzerland, located near the center of Europe. The peaks before him, Swiss mountains of the country of Switzerland in a region predominantly speaking German, beckoned him. He loaded his skateboard underneath his arm and ambled toward the mass of earth that he would make his.

The journey was long and rife with Italian and German-speaking Swiss pointing out his appearance, but he broke free of their eyes and ankles and climbed to the summit. As he slid the skateboard out from beneath his sensuous arm, he awakened. In one fluid motion, he dropped and mounted the board, riding down the mountain like a man in fire, breaking the language barrier as he shrieked affirmations of his identity in hypoxic confusion. Each of his limbs were found in separate lingual regions, leading the world to posthumously dub him “Switzerland’s Exodia.”

I remember my first experience with voat being a poll discussing whether they should ban child porn. The split was ~90% in favor of banning, 10% against. 10% is concerningly high.

Some context links go to entirely different comment chains as well.

It’s a safe space in the literal sense. They defederated to keep out hate speech cross contamination.

Political stability is reasonable, economy’s unstable, seems uneasy. I get curious every few years and read up.

Sincere question, is it difficult to create harvest methane from animals? Most livestock basically never sees the sun so it’s not like there’s an interminable area to harvest from, and stories of farmyard methane fires aren’t exactly uncommon so the concentration is there.

No, it’s exclusively admins using admin tools. Check the pixels for the usernames that placed them.

I really don’t understand the removal of awards. Why dump a system that makes them money for, basically, Venmo with higher fees. Who’s the target demographic for this?

What’s this ”B” thing? I’ve seen it a few times on unique accounts.

Sounds like they’re in the market for fight milk, official drink of the ufc.

The further increased customizability of kbin has been tugging at my curiosity for weeks, but I haven’t taken the dive yet. You might have finally convinced me.

 

Just checked instances after the hack and noticed that lemmy.world is federated with all of the Lemmygrads. Was it always?
