Fruit of the Loom is cheap. They have all the advanced underwear technology too. These are what I'm wearing now. They're that spandex crap or whatever that are tight against your leg so they don't clump up, they don't absorb a lot of moisture, and have thinly woven spots to increase ventilation. What else do you need in an underwear? Every other brand's version of that is like $20+ more expensive for no reason.

I spent 95% of my time shitposting on one forum in the early 2000's. It was a similar experience to spending 95% of my time on reddit or one of the other major social media sites, except that crazy new ideas for social media didn't really exist back then. They were all traditional forums where everything is posted in chronological order. I remember occasionally sumbling across a threaded forum back then, where you could reply directly to a comment and start a new thread chain like lemmy and reddit can. That was about it as far as innovation went, or at least from what I remember.

The other 5% where I was browsing those old web 1.0 sites with basic html and flash and all that stuff, I don't miss that stuff too much. It would be nice to browse through an archive of stuff like that once or twice for nostalgia's sake, but the modern internet is good too. I have no qualms with the modern internet.

There's them discussing removing the term in a mod post in that community. It was added after the latest way back machine archive.

You guys... the lemmynsfw community had the term "child-like" in its sidebar. Why is everybody conveniently forgetting that? Don't even try saying that's not a disgusting request to have in a sidebar too.

The community sidebar used the term "child-like." That's pretty disgusting and really disingenuous of the lemmynsfw admins to quietly change that and then pretend like nothing happened. Plus, redditors have already gone through all this with r/jailbait, so it's not really silly to anybody who remembers that debacle.

Well, this is off topic, but c/all for all the popular instances are like 99% the same, save for the occasional obscure community in one of the instances that nobody else is subscribed to. You can confirm that yourself by opening up lemmy.world and sopuli.xyz in private tabs and selecting all with the same sort in both. But I should've also mentioned that I sort by the "top" sorts when I browse all. If you browse with hot or active, then it is a significantly different experience from the top sorts.

But alright, I won't pester you anymore. I apologize if I sounded angry too. I've been having issues with that recently that I'm trying to be more conscious of. I shouldn't have even made my original comment in here, now that I'm thinking of it. That was kind of poor forum etiquette. It's easy enough to just ignore the migration notices. So sorry about that haha. I wish you the best of luck with your communities, though.

I'm not subscribed to any communities. I'm seeing all these notices on c/all. This is like the 5th c/ps5 migration notice I've seen in the past two days. That's why I suggested to just start posting new threads in !ps5@lemmy.world and be done with it. Lemmy is still really small, so basically every thread has the potential to succeed in c/all, even for new communities that are still starting out. So !ps5@lemmy.world will grow very easily without having to have this big hoopla about migrations and whatnot.

But I'm afraid to say I don't think your idea is going to fly long term. While lemmy.ml advertises itself as a FOSS focused instance, if you browse local top day for it, you can see that in actuality it's a lot of memes and other more casual posts. And you're squatting on the ps5 name for lemmy.ml now, which could cause issues down the road.

You should either keep both communities active and be the mod of both, or seek out mods to replace you at !ps5@lemmy.ml.

Just start posting in !ps5@lemmy.world and be done with this whole migration thing. Posts in your new community will make it to c/all and people will participate and subscribe. !ps5@lemmy.ml is going to continue to exist with new mods and people will continue to post there, and there's really nothing you can do about that. That's just the nature of decentralized communities. Kind of like how c/asklemmy posts are split 50/50 between !asklemmy@lemmy.world and !asklemmy@lemmy.ml.

I recently gave up eating takeout every night, but I'm too lazy to cook, which led to me replacing it with basically nothing but canned food. Like I'll mix a can of beans and a can of mixed vegetables together, put half in a bowl and put the other half in a container for tomorrow, put salad dressing on it, and then that's my dinner. I also eat a half can of fruit per day, because I found the shelf life and inconsistencies with produce to be too annoying.

On the one hand, I think I'm eating better than I was when I was doing nothing but takeout. My salt consumption has plummeted, and in general, I think the nutritional facts for my canned meal are better across the board than the takeout meals I was doing.

On the other hand, if there's some long term issue with eating too much canned food, then I'm definitely going to be affected by it. I was thinking cats lead pretty good lives with nothing but canned food, so maybe I'll be ok.

Anyway, am I going to die a horrible canned food death, or am I ok?

I don't know what to tell you. This change was more appropriate for Fedora and developers are bad at PR is basically the simplest way to put it.

I'm a depressed web developer who's hypothetically thinking about a possible career change. The issue is I live in a rural area. I'm wondering what kind of new career paths would be available to me out in the country? Two I can possibly think of would be a welder and construction, but I have no idea beyond that. Plus there's the plethora of things I could possibly do online that Inhave no idea about.

I will most likely just stay as a work from home web developer, so don't worry too much about me. But still wondering what possible alternatives there are out there, if anybody has any ideas they wouldn't mind sharing.

I also realize that "rural" might not be specific enough, but I don't want to get any more specific than that for privacy reasons.
