Dunno, but I miss rage comics.
It was all the rage, back then.
Those were better days
Let the rage flow through you
But why does it want to go off the edge of the screen though?
Everyone wants to escape 2024, even 2024 itself.
Real explanation: The dot. Lemmy indents numbered lists, and being at the start of the line, it treats it as such.
Time is cyclical.
Alright alright there, Nietzche.
I feel the years dropping away, to a time less dire and defeated. Thank you!
When I was a kid, our family's portable stereo had a bunch of weird radio bands on it, by which I mean anything other than AM and FM, the edges of some shortwave bands picked up the radio chatter of local fishermen here and there.
One time a friend and I stumbled into one of these conversations, the engine of some boat had stalled, my friend plugged in the headphones into the microphone jack and started to talk with the guy on the other end.
Of course he wasn't, but his improv and timing was impeccable, it really did seem like the setup was working as a transmitter also.
Decades later, I still clearly remember the way my friend mimicked an adult and technical conversation to a tee, promising to the stranded fishermen that backup was on the way... into the right earcup of a set of headphones.
