  • Luxury?! Have you ever had that happen at a movie theater? You just start sucking down on the limited coke that needs to last the whole movie, just to try and get that out. And all you wanted was to enjoy the movie in peace.

    Though I will concede. Had some popcorm stuck between teeth during a movie. No fun. Not a kernel, though, and eventually either it was gone somehow, or I got used to it






  • Ayo, never seen no one express opinions like these, like mine, out in the wild! They do call themselves America, despite being only part of the continent. And their uncreative name. Big brain move they had there. Like a Monty Python sketch. I could see it to the tune of the witch scene

    “What are countries made of?” “Land?” “People.” “…Cows.” “A church.” … “States!” “That’s right! And where are these states?”

    I like to call them 'Muricans sometimes, to differentiate 'Murica (US) and the real America, the much bigger and, thanks to other countries, generally better one.




  • Maybe I’ll consider a PieFed account. I might also consider just using neither, given I don’t even get that much out of Lemmy itself. I just browse what’s popular in what is probably an attempt to occupy time, which I guess could be better spent elsewhere. What would you say are the main differences between PieFed and Lemmy?

    As for Wikipedia, not sure if they have an rss. You could also look into Wikinews, their ‘news’ sister project under Wikimedia. There’s probably more activity there over Wikipedia


  • Thing with PieFed is it don’t really have an app. I found Interstellar to be a bit too complicated, or too feature-heavy? Barely used it, though. I like Jerboa’s simplicity. Non-US instances are nice, too. I ended up choosing an American* one, it seems, though I dunno what it got, so I dunno that it’s 'Murica-centric

    I get some news via short daily podcasts or Wikipedia’s homepage. Or Lemmy. Though my podcasts have taken to mentioning the US president rather often this year, which goes to show the US influence on the world. But at least it don’t bombard me like Lemmy




  • Let’em cope.

    Seriously, though, they must comprehend that one might not want to be bombarded with their news and politics. I doubt they’d enjoy every other post being about Honduras or wherever, and their president and news and politics, and everything centric to a country they don’t particularly care about
