As Zach Weinersmith said in his book A City on Mars, “Leaving 2C warmer Earth for Mars would be like leaving a messy room so you can live in a toxic waste dump.”

”Ask Lemmy” should rebrand as “Lemmy Ask the Internet” in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

I like the idea of renaming it in general to clarify that it's for open ended questions and not support.

If you look at monthly active users instead of total users, Pixelfed is a strong 2nd place.

We are in an energy emergency, even though we're a net exporter of fossil fuels, but we also need to stop all wind power for some reason.

Community movie "vaguely next year" - from an interview with Joel McHale (www.gq.com)
 

GQ: My final question is annoying, and I apologize in advance, but it would be an abdication of my duties not to ask for an update on the Community movie.

Joel McHale: Oh, well, it hasn't been shot yet. It will be. And I don't have a definitive update because we thought for a moment it was going to all happen this year, and then it didn't. But we have the money, and that is a huge step. And hopefully, people still want to see it. And Peacock's paying for it. And so I can't wait to do it. I'll say vaguely next year. How about that?

TIL Haydn's "Surprise Symphony" was NOT written to wake up sleeping audience members; that was just a myth (discuss.tchncs.de)

Back in school I heard the story that Haydn wrote the "Surprise Symphony" because he was sick of people sleeping through his music, and wanted to startle them awake. It seems like this was a myth.

From the Wikipedia article:

In Haydn's old age, his biographer Georg August Griesinger asked him whether he wrote this "surprise" to awaken the audience. Haydn replied:

No, but I was interested in surprising the public with something new...

Why do all the cool stories from history end up being made up?

Just got my first Erratic Deck gold stake win using Obelisk (discuss.tchncs.de)

I was never able to pull off Obelisk before, but I had the perfect setup this time - the deck was mostly diamonds and clubs, and I got an early flush joker so I was playing nothing but flushes anyway when Obelisk showed up. Got up to 12 flushes before starting to play other hands.

I'm kidding - just a non-violent heads up that I got myself added as a mod here, since the original mod seems to have disappeared (I'm not trying to "dirt road" them or anything).

I mainly did it just to get rid of the ~~black mold~~ sticky post that's been sitting at the top of the page for the past 7 months.

Anyway, let me know if you have any requests or suggestions! Also, it seems like since I'm not a lemmy.world user, I can't see reports here, so please message me if there's a post that needs to be deleted or anything.

Lates!

I was wondering if someone could make me a mod of !communitytv@lemmy.world. The mod there hasn't been active in 7 months. I messaged them last week and the week before, but got no response. I mainly just want to remove an old sticky post. Thanks!

Edit: this has been taken care of, thanks!
