It's an internet thing. And you're on the internet right now. Come on now...

A guy named Trevor Jacob is going to jail? Colour me surprised...

You never experienced the joy of a 1200? You could literally watch the cursor draw the screen.

Also, start generating Bitcoin in late 2009 and sell it all on Nov 10, 2021.

I prefer the philosophy of Fu Kital...it really covers everything.

Spoils of war, my dude. Besides, in the grand scheme of things, she's had more wins than I have. The bear is mine, now and forever.

Blue Bear.

When I was maybe 3 (I don't remember personally, I heard this story years later), my sister who was 9 at the time had this stuff bear. Blue fur, not much special about it, just an average stuffed bear. One day I decided I liked the bear more, and declared it mine. I was 3, that's what 3 year olds do. A great fight ensued, but since I was the baby Mom told my sister to just let me have it. It was stolen a few times, and stolen back a few more times. And then hidden away for a great many years. Until one day in our 30s, going through my old toy box at my father's house, hidden under some old report cards and junk toys, laid Blue Bear. And a great fight ensued, only this time with words and the occasional hip check into the wall to grab and dash. My step mother stepped in to tell us the smarten up and just give me the bear. And that was the first time I actually appreciated my step mother for something. She bought my sister whiskey to make up for it, but we all knew who won that day.

Blue Bear now sits in my living room display case.

Not suddenly, it likely took a few million years to lose them. But essentially, yes.

With birds it’s all beaks.

That's only for the last 100 million years. Before that it's all teeth too.

And the next dangerous material is just around the corner. Shit, it might already be here.

It already is. It's called PFAS, it's everywhere, and we're only just starting to learn how it affects us.

When they removed old.compact shortly before the API debacle, which was really the only way to view a relatively functional site on mobile without a constant nag popup begging you to download the app, I knew the end was near. I had started looking for alternatives at that time. Chatter about alternatives really started to ramp up around then from what I could tell. I think everyone knew what was coming. I'm not sure there will be a surge, since most people that cared likely bailed long ago. Anyone still using old.reddit is viewing it from a desktop, and probably already has a Lemmy account.

The battle is already over. Reddit just needs to get to IPO so Spez can cash out with more than he got the first time. Then it's someone else's problem.
