i don’t think so, they have different shaped faces and bodies and different hair colors

go to !fuckcars to learn more!

WTF? Are they trying to get hit with brute force attacks?

It’s got a pitch transposer? That’s literally the only thing I need to leave Firefox for.

I use Chrome to run the Transposer For Youtube plugin because I haven’t found an equivalent for Firefox yet.

What we had has gone away.

sometimes i get ads for like maternity stuff or jewelry or cars

i’m a guy with a vasectomy and not enough money for a car

it’s very funny

because otherwise you’re gonna be waiting for like 10 minutes

that’s fair enough, you know? cars are whatever, it’s all the infrastructure built for cars that really makes the cars a problem. parking is just one very large aspect of that infrastructure.

me too, buddy, me too

i’m confused, what is this meant to be riffing on

even when the tweet that this screenshot came from is included and shows that it was posted by a woman

don’t be ridiculous, this guy doesn’t have emotions.

or at least, he doesn’t think he does.

oh smh i can’t even begin to count how many times i was caught, stood against a wall, and executed by firing squad by a posse of lifted f150s when i first started biking to get around. fortunately i’ve learned how to evade them: turns out they have shite turning radius and are terrible offroad

Who are you gonna believe?? Me, or every climatologist in the world??

well idk about you but my balls were really wet over the weekend and not because i spent it with my girlfriend

That’s certainly a valid and important question, but I’m not sure how relevant it is to the question of how Lemmy increases its operating revenue. If I’m living minimalist but my issue is I can’t sustainably afford housing, food, and healthcare, there’s no way to solve that problem without solving the fundamental issue of me not making enough money. My impression is that that is the main question facing Lemmy at this moment, and so that’s what I was focused on.

I suspect most financial advisors would tell you that managing money is what you do when you have some.

As in, some kind of “contributor” badge next to your username? That’s also definitely a good way to do it. Basically, if it makes donations visible on the community level, I think it’s a benefit.

If it was just built into the base software, then every instance would have the option available by default, no? And then it would just be a question of directing the money to the right place and displaying the relevant icon on the awarded post or comment.

I’m no software engineer, though, so it’s entirely possible everything I’m saying is total bollocks. Still, worth considering if we’re thinking about the long-term health of this place, IMO.

I bet if we stole the idea of reddit gold and allowed people to award comments and posts, but 1. no premium membership and 2. make it clear that the money is going to help keep the service running, that would bring in a lot of revenue without harming the community.
