It's a Wonderful Life is my go-to

Only from the perspective of the characters, though. To us it clearly existed in panels 3 and 4, prime for taking by any higher dimensional beings, that's what I mean. It doesn't mean the characters can will anything into existence, it means that time is just another dimension to travel through, and there are entities (that one slice of pizza for example) that travel backwards and forwards.
Another way of seeing this is that it would look equally alien to our 2 dimensional shadows when we pick something from our pockets, or turn something inside out, but it still makes sense to us 3d beings

Forgot to mention that it unfortunately is a US-owned company, so it would be off the table for the full-on US boycott crowd, especially because it's a paid service.
Though they seem to be a genuinely good company that consistenly provides good customer support and improves the product in tangible ways. Privacy Pass was implemented because of customer feedback, for example, and so were crypto payments, and both were publicly discussed on the forums with good transparency. They also actively promote the decentralization of the internet: with that Small Web feature I mentioned, with Fediverse and Usenet Archives search being implemented by default, by providing an interface to use any LLM model through their assistant... So I wouldn't want to boycott them, and I don't

Can't disagree here, this would be great

This is a pretty cool thought experiment. From our perspective, there is nothing about this that wouldn't allow the comic to just keep going. Despite it being a "paradox" from the perspective of the characters, from ours it just is, and doesn't look particularly nonsensical, just quirky. I wonder if that's how an eternal/4th dimension being would see our history

I switched to Kagi and am beyond satisfied. If your goal is to strictly degoogle, it fits the bill, but it still does if you are looking for better privacy, as it now comes with an implementation of Privacy Pass. The algorithm is leagues above Google's and DDGs, IMO, and the "lens" feature allows you to seamlessly filter the results to specialized sources, including the Fediverse. "Small web" is a fun feature for when you're bored running unit tests at work, too

Almost all of this goes for pretty much every other country, though...

Do my best to at least wash some clothes. My plans were cancelled

I guess movies would be a specific enough topic for me, but what I mean is people with a passion for, say, film noir shouldn't wait for film noir fans to show up on a thread, they should just create the content and hope the others find it.
I want to be clear that I'm not judging any "time waster" type of communities. It's fun to discuss random questions during downtime at work, it's just not where a strong community is formed. Reddit lives on through everything precisely because of the niche communities, not because of r/pics or something

I don't know, this kind of reasoning seems to create too much empty "content" and not enough real communities. Yeah, creating a bunch of generalist coms will get traffic and engagement, but the people there don't actually share anything in common, it's just a time waster.
I don't want Lemmy to be a time wasting app, I want it to have genuine communities with valuable content instead of endless AskReddit, AITA, AIO, etc etc etc. Therefore, I'm of the opinion that people should create communities about their hobbies and create high quality content there, which will drive demand. If the community ends up too specific, they can always just cross post to a more generic one as well.
