My best guess is that they hope some agriculture or GMO company might have a use for it. Basically crops + future theme. Maybe they were trying to stand out from the likely vastly more common corn + person in lab coat?

It's likely a kbin bug (or an app if you used one to make the comment), since the slashes are there even on the website directly.
I'm curious, were they ever that stereotypical "shh" environment that movies claimed they were? Because no public library in my lifetime was ever like that (just smaller school libraries), but I can't go back very far. Most libraries I've been to have multiple areas or floors, some which are quiet and others which are allowed to be noisy.
Allison sends her thanks OP. You saved her 5 minutes of searching.
Yeah, I bet it'll be selectively enforced. The high performers (or people whose managers like them, anyway) can do whatever, but low performers or those whose managers dislike them get fired. Incidentally, that will surely have lots of bias, as selective enforcement always does.
The well made, expert reaction videos are fun. Like Legal Eagle reacting to videos to judge their legal accuracy. He also made a meta reaction video where he explained why some reaction channels were breaking the law and how to do it properly. Insider has a series of videos where they get an expert on a subject to react to movie clips (like a former bank robber reacting to heist movies or a marine biologist reacting to shark movies).
But I don't get the low quality stuff, where someone isn't an expert, doesn't provide meaningful commentary, etc. Some "reaction" videos are basically just stealing content and the only thing that seems interesting about them is the original content. The "reactor" adds nothing and just stole views from the original.
But at the same time, it sucks. I still use Reddit for episode discussions of shows I watch (which don't exist here on Lemmy, especially for older shows). I don't want those to go away without some replacement. Even if Lemmy did suddenly start getting lots of active episode discussions, it's not really possible to backfill them for older shows and the site is still too small and hard to index, it seems.
Incidentally, google is the only way I access those, since I no longer browse Reddit normally.
I completely agree. I think the point of the commenter you're replying to is that this is the kind of game that will fix these eventually. It's still disappointing for a launch, but eventually it will probably become better than CS1.
Woah, slut shaming is uncool. If trucks like having sex, that's not a negative thing. Would you have said that if it was a Porsche?
2001 was a movie that made me go "wait, what? People like this?"
I heard it come up so often and was excited to watch it. Absolutely hated. One of the worst movies I've ever watched. I had to look it up a lot after I watched it because I was sure I had to be missing something big. But no, I wasn't. Really not my kind of movie, I guess.
The "somehow" is because IRC is extremely bare bones. It doesn't stand up to modern expectations of what chat software does. Plus accounts aren't all a bad thing. Anti-spam is vital for the internet today, as is rigid ways of preventing impersonation. IRC is a relic of a simpler era.
I really preferred it on the right, too. It was the default on my Galaxy. But I have a Pixel for work and it doesn't seem to let you choose which side the back button is on. I can't stand to have an inconsistency.
