Not today FBI

I like to save memes from Lemmy to share with friends, and my messaging apps won’t send webp’s. I use Jerboa and when I long press on the image it says what file type it is. If it’s webp, I either sigh and move on, or if it’s a really good meme, I screenshot it and crop it. But it’s a pain.

Ironically, this post’s image is also a webp

Depends where in the world you are

There are still subreddits though, they’re just called communities

I don’t fully disagree but that was exactly Kira’s thinking lol (at least at the start)

Ah they really had to add “found in North America” so this wouldn’t fully work for non-Americans. Love it otherwise

I tried Niagara at first, but wanted something FOSS and switched to KISS Launcher which is similar. It’s search-based, like Niagara. My friend bought the Niagara launcher and loves it, but it’s not for me

Not very important but I remember it strangely well.

I was 8 years old. My teacher asked “What is one hundred times one hundred?”

I raised my hand and said “Ten thousand!”

“No, it’s one thousand. Ten times ten is one hundred, and one hundred times one hundred is one thousand.”

“But… It’s ten thousand. Can I show you on a calculator?”

“No! Sit down, it’s one thousand. I’m the teacher, I should know.”

I later got a calculator and showed her and she didn’t apologise.

NES Tetris. I have a little emulator device that looks like a Game Boy Advance SP, and that’s been my go to while I’m traveling

I still have the theme song in my head to this day

You can get browser extensions to have more control over video speed

The ant-smelling trait is a genetic thing. I have a co-worker that can smell ants, but otherwise their sense of smell is unremarkable

Though co-op games usually adjust difficulty based on the number of players (usually by scaling the number of enemies)

What? I Google stuff all the time. Just not on Google (DuckDuckGo or Qwant)

I was feeling disconnected from my friends for quite a while. I find I have a hard time keeping up with people, and that usually ends up meaning I am no one’s best friend.

I’ve done two things:

1. Organised a (mostly) weekly poker night (not for money but for snacks). Any board game would work. It gets us in the same room and we have a grand old time. This is the highlight of my week. It really helped to have something to look forward to each week when I was feeling depressed and meaningless.
2. Started sending my two closest friends one (1) meme per day tailored to them specifically. It’s rare for me to message anyone, but this keeps me in contact, even if it’s basically like a poke on Facebook. It keeps me fresh in their heads. It usually ends up sparking a convo about this or that. It’s led to me being invited to a couple of fun events, which feels really nice, because for a while there I was barely invited to anything.

These two things, while simple, have greatly increased my mood and has gotten me much closer with my friends than I was before, as I had drifted apart from them.

Remember, there are no consequences. Whatever you do will be reset, so this wouldn’t work

That’s my apartment neighbour. Can smell in my apartment when they light one up

Balatro could be good. Terraria I think is a bit tricky to learn unless you have a friend guiding you. It requires a lot of looking up the wiki which I think isn’t ideal for someone getting into video games.
