I haven't looked into it but that code has to be a creative reference to the Genesis album/song "Abacab."

Not a response, please stop trolling.
Are you going out of your way to test the "no stupid questions" premise? You aren't even asking a question you're trying to make some kind of point in a roundabout way.

In all those posts there's the common thread of you being vague and constantly alluding to some specific message you want to spread but won't just directly state.
A 'Freudian slip' is when you say one thing but mean your mother.

Pretty wild how most of that troupe had successful careers in entertainment even outside of stuff they did together. I'm glad at least a couple other people remember the show fondly :)
I think I last heard the words "monkey torture" in the 'Barry Lutz Show' sketch by The State in 1994. Can't find a copy of it on YouTube, ebaumsworld has a copy but it didn't want to load for me and the site itself is ad heavy - direct link to the .flv should work but might not play natively in browser. To be clear, the video link is a comedy bit about psychologically torturing monkeys and doesn't show or inflict any harm to any.
I don't have anything meaningful to add to the discussion about the IRL monkey abuse so I'm hoping to inject a little bit of levity to an otherwise terrible subject.
"The workman of today works everyday in his life at the same tasks, and his fate is no less absurd. But it is tragic only at the rare moments when it becomes conscious. Sisyphus, proletarian of the gods, powerless and rebellious, knows the whole extent of his wretched condition: it is what he thinks of during his descent. The lucidity that was to constitute his torture at the same time crowns his victory. There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn."
This wasn't an innocent request for interesting topics to follow, it was taking the stance that only serious topics get discussed here and it's boring:
I’d like to see the fedi let its hair down a bit. It’s okay to talk about stuff other than infosec, privacy guides, distros, and Gaza.
It wasn't a demand, but certainly requesting that we "let our hair down a bit" and that they "often get bored of the Fediverse."
This post could have been phrased as "What are some good non-political or news related communities?" And I'll gladly accept the label of being elitist if it's because I have minimal expectations that people explore for solutions before complaining and implying it's everyone else that needs to change. You can't browse all without easily bumping into the things I listed, and if you aren't aware there's different filtering options there's always a sidebar link instructing you how the platform works.
Do animals count as actors? Turner & Hooch could be interesting with Tom Hanks drooling and running on all fours and Beasley The Dog playing a detective.
The Piped bot pisses me off because it doesn't seem to check if the triggering comment already includes the exact link it's about to post. I used to preemptively include Piped links with any YouTube ones but since it would trigger the bot anyway I just stopped bothering.
Aside from the clutter it adds, until I added the bot itself to my blocklist (instead of just relying on "Show bots" being unchecked in settings) it would also cause reply notifications that couldn't be cleared in the default Lemmy web UI.
