Stop Talking to Each Other and Start Buying Things: Three Decades of Survival in the Desert of Social Media
  • This article is filled with good lines. I particularly liked this visual describing the communities and audiences built by artists being taken over and destroyed by Musk:

    “You have to be very famous to be safe from the effects of your biggest microphone being crammed up a rich white man’s ass and set to reverb. I am certainly not. Few of us are.”

  • Can solid food be isotonic?
  • I was going to say that I don’t think being isotonic had any relation to how refreshing a drink is except in terms of taste. But then after thinking about it, salt does affect the rate of water excretion into the urine and water retention in blood. And because of this phenomenon they always recommend low salt diets for people with high blood pressure. So I guess in a way, a low salt diet would be considered more “isotonic.” But solid food will inherently not be isotonic due to containing more carbs and amino acids than water.

  • How can people prevent the Dead Internet Theory from becoming our reality?
  • I’ve been playing around with kagi and am actually super impressed with the search results for finding info about a product to purchase. Google results were full of your-search-term-best-reviews.com SEO crap but kagi found info that didn’t pop up even several pages into google search. So it might be how popular/commercial the search term is and google is still better at finding obscure niche things.

  • My dad fell asleep on the couch all the time when I was a kid. I thought it was weird.
  • I have to stop auto play for my podcasts for this reason. You can stop autoplaying the next episode on Netflix too if it helps: On an iPhone, iPad, Android phone or tablet: From the Netflix app home screen, tap the profile icon or More . Tap Manage Profiles. Select the profile you want to edit. Toggle the switch next to Autoplay Next Episode to turn the setting on or off. Tap Done.

  • Which instance do you prefer, and why?
  • I’m starting to feel we should delete this whole thread and replace it with how much FMHY sucks and is the worst instance ever the admins are literal trash pandas please don’t come here. I like it small.

  • Which instance do you prefer, and why?
  • Why are all the answers here from FMHY? It was like 20th on the list in terms of popularity when I joined. I chose it because it had fewer restrictions - users can create their own communities and, most importantly, downvote (the chart I looked at said some didn’t have downvotes??). Also I assume pirates know how to run a server.
