I was actually just telling someone about that on Thursday, I didn’t even think to make that connection! The robots at the table splitting the bill as the core of the drive is so funny. Douglas Adams is a beauty.

I’ve just been watching through Futurama again, and so many of the lines never fail to crack me up.

I just watched the episode in season 3 where Zap, Kiff, Leela and Amy go on a double date, and the space station restaurant starts crashing so Zap takes the wheel to “save the day”. As he takes the wheel he says so confidently"She’s built like a steakhouse but handles like a Bistro" and that line absolutely slays me. I was almost in tears hearing it again, I love Zap as a character so much.

I’m reading Deaths End the 3rd book in the “Three Body Problem” series.

Some of the best sci-fi I’ve ever read, super unique ideas, I was blown away with some of the concepts in this series.

A very Toronto doggo I must say

I feel like that’s a common trend in modern media, a lot of remakes and alternate versions of the same story. Like they are bringing back Harry Potter as a series, and they are doing a peter pan and Wendy thing as well. Seems like there aren’t a ton of original things that are getting these big budgets. Not saying there aren’t original things coming out, they don’t seem to be what the Hollywood “default” is at the moment

A’Tuin gang represent!

My thoughts exactly, this is still generating a lot of traffic for reddit, and more proves the point that it doesn’t matter what they pull, as long as they do some cool stuff that only happens on Reddit, people will still go. Maybe using place for advertising the fediverse would be better but even then, still using the system. Don’t know the answer, just not sure this is as effective as we would hope.

I do love the visual protest, but do you not have to go on Reddit to access space? Still giving them lot’s of traffic for the sake of something that may not even appear on the admins radar just seems a little ineffective. Again, love the protest, I just wonder about its efficacy.

Is Markiplier my dad??

USSR no longer exists is why he said was, but Russia probably still does it yeah

Arkngthand gang gang

Slice and Dice is a solid phone game, easy time waster and a lot of fun rolling some dice to kill some baddies. In general though I do think they are quite trash, but ports and emulators are probably the best option

Couldn’t agree more, I use psychadelics a few times a year, and nothing brings be to that same feeling OP was describing like LSD or mushrooms. Some of the best conversations and experiences I’ve ever had agave been on psychedelics, I laugh till I cry almost everytime I’ve done them. have had bad trips in my life, but I feel like Set and Setting are hugley important as well as having respect for the drug. Overall highly recommend.

Yeah I’m here from RIF on connect, feels good. Still missing a few things, like I don’t have a “hot” filter, I seem to be seeing a lot of the same posts. But over all after the past two weeks of using Lemmy, I’m happy to be away from Reddit

I’m such a weirdo with this, because I don’t mind owning digital games, but I really don’t enjoy reading books digitally. I have a massive library that my partner is constantly exasperated by ahah

Very same to my experience so far, I think with more content in more instances it will quickly become the best version of what was good about reddit. Happy to be here though!

Also it’s kind of crazy to me the amount of traffic it gets every. Single. Time. I know they have a bot issue, but do people just like that they know they have a popular opinion and just want to see rhe up votes or is it just one of those “watch the same movie 15 times for the comfort of it” type things. Either way I find it wild.

Been loving seeing how active this place is getting, I didn’t post often on Reddit but this just feels better somewhow, and I feel more inclined to comment on contribute!
