It’s really not that hard. I gave my ex my Mastodon url and he signed up so he could follow me. He didn’t even know what Mastodon or the Fediverse is.

It only gets complicated when federation gets janky, eg on my Mastodon.social account I can see so many more posts that I can on my main instance. In fact, I sometimes can’t even see some of my own .social posts unless I login via that account on tusky, then open as my main account. Even though the instances are federated. I have the same issue here with this account and my alt feddit.uk account. I can see comments/communities on one instance that I can’t see on another.

I’m a Brit of Indian origin, and the way we make tea is like this.

Fill your mug/cup with water/milk in whatever proportion you like. Pour into a saucepan. Add your teabag/tea leaves and any sugar. Heat and stir until you get the desired strength.

I never could like the western way of making tea. It doesn’t taste right to me.

In my family, when we were kids, breakfast traditionally consisted of toast dunked in Indian style tea (still my breakfast now). We also had our own version of eggy fried bread sometimes at tea time, that we’d also dunk in tea. I’m scared I’m going to be called a deviant now 😅

Budgies!

After seeing this post, I was wondering what this was all about, spent a couple of minutes looking it up, only to get a PM from her.

Have you guys turned this into a summoning ritual?!

Does just viewing this thread trigger a message from her wth

Well, Cruise does like jumping on couches…

This annoys me. It keeps showing me cyan, but only giving me the options of green or blue. Cyan is neither. It’s freaking cyan! It’s a subtractive primary colour!

(Don’t get me started on art teachers insisting the primary colours for paint are red, yellow and blue. Naff off with that crap. Go look at printer ink, then naff right off again.)

You can join my Naive Idiots™ club. I’m a long time member.

That reminded me of that flash game where you could press buttons on a Bush action figure to hear some bushisms (like “when we’re talking about war, we’re really talking about peace” and “there’s an old saying in Texas, I know it’s in Texas, probably Tennessee” and “peeance freeance”?) and there was one button to make him spit out a pretzel he was choking on. I tried to look it up but I can’t find it :(

Only the Jubilee line has them here in London. They’re a good feature. There was talk of bringing them to other lines, but I’ve not heard any update on that in years.

I still have the html files for my first geocities site. It was a Commander Keen fansite with info that was already on every other fansite. But it was mine! And I used marquee tags and background midi files and gifs whenever I wanted to, and WordArt for the page headings.

Even then I was late to the party. My the time I joined, geocities was part of Yahoo. I remember when the URLs used to be cities and neighbourhoods.

Also, Onchat.com.

Does this count as !bonehurtingjuice@lemmy.ca

My apologies.

The best was on the old T9s where you’d try to type mum, but its first choice would be nun.

Has anyone told FlyingSquid about the Greenland Appreciation Act 1997? It’s only a matter of time before he gets stopped and asked to produce his homemade mini Greenland flag. It’d be a shame if he had to leave because he didn’t know about the law.

Oh it is.

I can’t tell if that’s meant to be a sincere tribute to xxxtentacion (sp?) or someone taking the mick. I’m not gonna ask about the winky underneath.

Nope, I don’t think I’d ever heard of it prior to the Arthur version.

We did the fall of Icarus in Year 3. My little sister learned Theseus and the Minotaur when she was around the same age, which is how I knew about it. Other than that, I don’t remember studying Ancient Greek anything, not even Heracles. Your school was obviously better than mine.

Mine didn’t. We did Buddy, The Crucible, Animal Farm and Shakespeare from what I remember. First I heard of the Odyssey was when I was 19 and DW did a retelling of it on Arthur. When I saw a copy of the story in the shop I worked at, I got it so I could read the actual story.
