Ooh, this looks cute.

I’m hoping this’ll be funny/wholesome like an anime that hits the same vibes as the movie: “While you were sleeping”

The best example of good manliness in media I can think of is Bandit from Bluey.

The options are pretty slim if a cartoon dog from a children’s show is humanity’s best example of being a good man.

Is it too late to avoid perpetuating the Reddit culture of adding “Porn” to titles of Fediverse communities?

As you can see in your title and description for this post, you have to stop and reiterate every time that your community is safe for work. It’s just bad branding.

Why not:

sublimeguitars

stunningguitars

pureguitars

guitar-awe

Woah, imagine niche communities of incredible photography that all use -awe, as a suffix. And then there’s an accompanying sister community with -aww as a suffix.

Could have everything cute that features a guitar and a puppy or whatever in guitaraww. And stunning guitar gear and photography in guitarawe.

I do like this idea! Cheap too!

Some annoying neighbor kids keep ringing our doorbell and running away. I’m hoping getting one of these will stop all the ding dong ditching :/

I hate needing to buy one though. It doesn’t feel good

Genuinely a strong argument to allow work from home.

Umm… weird question. I guess I still don’t “get” the fediverse. How do I click on the link to view and join your community?

It isn’t marked up by a link in my Memmy app and I’m not sure what to do with it.

That’s a good question. I don’t know.

Just speculating, the upvote/downvote does help a user know what is expected behavior and some understanding to build from.

It also provides a rich incentive to post because “number go up” feels good.

I’d love to know YouTube’s data on hiding the dislike button. It wasn’t great for viewers, but it may have had an effect on creator satisfaction. But I don’t know for sure.

I can strike up a conversation with most strangers in real life pretty easily.

But online? There’s almost zero context. Even something as simple as the weather makes a load of difference for the small talk that can develop into richer conversations later.

Online social anxiety, especially forums like this one where you get a grade (the upvote/downvote), is very understandable.

The comment does not miss the point. You’re thinking from the perspective of a consumer, not a business.

Without Epic, World of Goo 2 would not exist.

If I was World of Goo’s developers, I would much rather have a job than not.

I find it so frustrating you’re being downvoted for a sane opinion.

I want Lemmy to succeed, but the userbase can be so mean :(

You know how hand sanitizer kills 99.7% of germs?

The current strain of tumblr user that survived the porn ban leans more aromantic/asexual. With less competition this new strain has thrived, and can solely focus on its main food source: fandoms for obscure media.

The English language is missing a gender neutral term for a cow/bull.

Cows are female

Bulls are male

Steers are castrated bulls

Cattle - the term for multiple cows and/or bulls and/or steers

It’s odd because every other animal with gendered language has a gender neutral term. Take chicken for example.

Hens are female

Roosters (or Cocks) are male

Capons are castrated roosters

It’s so nice to have a word like chicken to describe all these animals. But no word for that exists for cow/bull in English.

The writer of the tumblr post above either didn’t know the right word to use would be “Bull,” or the writer wanted to make sure they were understood so used the word Cow. Which… linguistically at this point may have become the gender neutral term for this animal because people need one.

Cow is such a common word, and bull is so uncommon that to be understood by everyone, cow might just be the best word.

Though anyone with knowledge of animal husbandry would be baffled because by the strict definition cows are always female.

I’m sorry you had to learn this nightmare language.

Yeeeeesssss!!!

This is up there with Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear for chillest Isekai. I love me some chill isekai.
