RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Congrats! My wife and I hit 21 this year... though we met in person, in a cage filled with vending machines.
Crazy to think she has been a contact on almost all of them, at least the main ones of the time AIM/ICQ/IRC/MSN/YAHOO...
What sort of cage is that ??? Not in a zoo of course ??😳😳😳
Lol... Nah, there was an area at our high school with a row of vending machines, to keep kids from buying stuff outside of lunchtime they put two big sliding metal grates in front of them with a padlock on it. At lunch they would remove the lock and slide the grates in front of each other a bit and put the lock back on. It left us with a little cage with an entrance on each end.
