  • Defenestration
    Notable autodefenestrations:

    On July 9, 1993, the prominent Toronto attorney Garry Hoy fell from a 24th story window in an attempt to demonstrate to a group of new legal interns that the windows of the city’s Toronto-Dominion Centre were unbreakable. He performed the same stunt on several previous occasions – dramatically slamming his body against the window – but this time it popped out of its frame and he fell to his death. The accident was commemorated by a 1996 Darwin Award and has been re-enacted in several films and television shows.

    But introversion just means that talking decreases someone’s energy. Does it also mean that introverts don’t want to talk with others about topics that interest them? I thought, that this isn’t the case.

    PS: Yes I get it. It’s meant to be paradox/ absurd by contrasting the two contradictory statements with each other. :)

    Putting on our moon armour could solve a lot of problems. It’s not my most favourite solution though.

    PS: Gonggong?!
    Edit: dwarf planet. Discovered in 2007 and named after a god in the chinese mythology:

    Gonggong was ashamed that he lost the fight with Zhurong, the Chinese god of fire, to claim the throne of Heaven. In a fit of rage, he smashed his head against Buzhou Mountain, one of eight pillars holding up the sky, greatly damaging it and causing the sky to tilt towards the northwest and the Earth to shift to the southeast, which caused great floods and suffering.

    🤷‍♀️


  • I proposed an extension of the feature set. The current behaviour is still possible. You can use the added feature but you don’t have to.

    The issue for me: The current landscape in lemmy has a lot of sparsely filled groups - I do not browse by group (filter by subscribed or all and sorted by new or hot).
    In this view multiple identical posts with distributed replies are shown. This adds redundancy in the comments and reduces clarity.

    Edit: The idea rises the question, how the ownership (or relation) of a post to the group and its replies should be handled. Using an x-post-like approach is just one idea.
