It already happened

There’s a boondocks conic!? Yaaaaaay!

Mister, I’m so sorry but I’m not a human either. You know about otherkin?

I’m friends with a Sonic fictionkin

Their mum wanted them to see Obama being inaugurated because the first black POTUS is an important historical moment. As a kid, they didn’t understand the importance, but now they do are are grateful.

Ah yeah this is an instance with opinionated administration, very far left. No worries, I hope you find a good home for your video games and investigative journalism!

My safeword is “eject the warp core”.

I played Apex Legends for a while and this has the vibe. I immediately knew it was Apex before I scrolled to comments.

Hi Rose! MULTIVERSE admin here! If your communities are the ones I see moderated by @rose@lemmy.zip, I’d be happy to help you make a home for them here. Big fan of the one that’s getting brigaded. We’re an anarchist instance with a rule against promoting authoritarianism, and we’ve defederated the tankie triad. Might be a good match. As for the bigger community, I think it would be a great addition to our instance as long as it’s not, like, a pro-capitalism pro-AI kind of community. Talking about free games and Tim Sweeney sounds like great fun!

Only problem I can foresee as definitely being an issue for you is that dbzer0 has defederated us, so you won’t get traffic from that site.

That overpopulation is a serious threat to humanity

None of the above

I am poor, but when I have money, if I decide to go with a house over an apartment, I’ll be planting grass trees. I’ll plant young cheap ones, but I’ll do research on the best place to put them, and what other species around will support them. And I want to plant a nice big canopy tree that grows medicine.

Actually, Harry Harlow did an experiment back in the 50s to test this theory. He took some baby rhesus monkeys and separated them from their mothers. Then he gave them some artificial mothers. One mother was a metal wire doll of a monkey. One mother was a cloth doll of a monkey. One nice to touch, one unpleasant to touch. Then he studied how the baby monkeys formed attachments to their doll mothers.

He found that even if the wire mother gives milk and the cloth mothers don’t, the babies still prefer the cloth mothers that are nice to touch. They would cuddle with the cloth mothers and seek them out for comfort when scared. This proved that touch is a more important factor in attachment than food.

Yeah, if I were to take up gardening, that’s the kind of gardening I would want to do. My background is in software. Build something that can act on its own, then let it do the hard work while you kick back.

I find it interesting that western agriculture follows the potted plant philosophy. Lots and lots of work every year, maintaining plants with optimum yield. You get a high population doing that, but it’s so much fucking work.

Aboriginal agriculture follows the ecosystem philosophy. Before colonisation, Aboriginal people used cold fire to maintain ecosystems. They didn’t prune and water every plant individually like western farmers, they used a deep knowledge of the ecosystem to tweak things here and there. They let the plants and animals do most of the work. You can’t support a population of 20 million that way, but you do get a lot more time to sit around the fire and tell stories, discuss philosophy.

I’d prefer to live in an apartment, or in a house with native plants that produce useful food and medicine on their own. I don’t want to mow a fucking lawn!

I don’t understand why anyone wants a plant in a pot that they have to care for daily, rather than an ecosystem in the yard that cares for itself.

No job offer, I guess they decided I’m not taking them seriously

Day 2, I feel great! Time for spicy ramen breakfast!

Miisha it’s good to see you posting again. My feed wasn’t showing you for a couple weeks there
