  • You know, that's a good Q-- did the "RageFace" comics borrow much of that style & energy from Ren and Stimpy...?

  • ‘I love midges because I know what their hearts look like’: is the passion for taxonomy in danger of dying out?

  • Is there currently an influx of bots in the Fediverse, or is it just that the usual patriotism is kicking in?

    Jump

  • Yes, I think you explained it well. I'd not stated it very precisely, and I do feel like this is a low-risk platform at the moment.

    Still, there's always the potential risk that whatever is posted & commented here can be tracked and recorded in to a permanent record of sorts. And that AI / other tools could possibly be used to collect such info and profile people. Things are changing fast, so I deem it best to be cautious, with an eye on the future.

  • Shoot... some of that stuff I should be able to block via my U-matrix extension. Would just need to play around with the javascripts, I guess.

  • I'm not sure how they do it exactly, but Reddit is evidently really good at detecting alts. Not necessarily by IP# or common information across accounts, but by... well I don't know, some deep algorithms or something?

    Reddit still has use to me, and there are one or two communities in which I have roots and a relationship with the mods, etc. I'd really rather not mess around with that or risk getting in to an 'account war' with Reddit over alts. At least at this time...

  • One can get banned for that, as well as the fact that you're once again uploading info that might possibly be used against you in future. Even the Fediverse tracks its accounts as I understand it and makes one's history semi-permanent.

    The only true alternative I know is to take part in an accountless system or one which is heavily anonymized, like the 'Chan' stuff or whatever. For me it's just far easier to tread lightly, and avoid certain topics.

    EDIT: Downvote away, but give me a rebuttal if you can.

  • Sadly makes sense for the Victorian Age, altho I understand that by the 1910's, short and instant exposures were available in several cameras.

    Frees being a successful, popular photographer, I would tend to think he had access to the newer tech. That still leaves the issue of what state his animals were actually in. I almost don't want to know.

  • I guess I'll take some comfort in the idea that someone knows what the hell this post is about, respectfully. Photography and editing stuff, it appears. Right so.

    On a different note, I've always been kind of bemused by the folks that love gummy / jelly-type candies. I remember some of my friends gobbling it down even in to... well, middle-age, I guess.

    Every once in a while I try some gummy / jelly candies just to check whether I've acquired the right genes in the interim, but it's pretty much always been a "nyet." Something about experiencing a flavorless mouthful of earthworms seems to be the basic problem. Just give me a Lifesaver, eh?

    Oh well, can't win 'em all...

    Jump

  • That looks like the work of photographer Harry Whittier Frees. More examples below:

    My family used to have one or more picture books of his, I'm thinking maybe from 90-110yrs ago.

    Even as a kid I found them slightly disturbing in the way the animals were posed. (were they even alive?) If in vivo, I hope they weren't mistreated too much. A lot of those outfits look tight and overheating to me...

  • Basically all comment history is hidden.

    Oh, actually I was forced to do that myself due to the slight possibility of doxxing, etc. Ten-year account over there that I still use, and traditionally I practice complete transparency. But the times, they is be changing...

    Oh, actually there is a workaround (or at least there used to be). Add the acct in question as a "friend," then click on the Friend stream. You'll be able to see their content.

  • I 'd not heard of this series before, but it looks like it was part of the Archie comics line, specifically their superhero line, which I hadn't heard of either. It seems this was a guy who never quite 'took off,' but here and there over the years they would make little stabs to bring him back.

    I guess if you were an Archie superhero, the rules might be a little than if you were DC / Marvel...

    I see what you're saying about spamming, but if there's ever a time to spam? Yeah, that would be now.

  • If it helps, here's an online buddy of mine who started a new community 3 days ago:https://piefed.social/c/newcommunities/p/1813767/comic-strip-edits

    It already has 28 posts and 101 subscribers.

    Remember to populate your new community with lots and lots of content. I.e., you can't expect people to pitch in unless you make a notable effort to launch things off. Word to the wise...

  • Yeah, that's what I've been saying for 2.5yrs now over at my own community. XD

    That said, most of what I write are mini-articles that take time to put together. Sharing a pic (or quote) is generally much easier, as I do across other communities, and the PieFed scheduler is aces for helping with that.

    Anyway, I've saved a lot of quotes in graphical format over the years. This weekend, I'll begin scanning through my media collection and begin moving all those to a separate folder, then I'll begin helping out by posting them here. I really do love a good quote, mate. 🙂

  • Why are basketball shoes so squeaky?

    Jump

  • It was usually concrete, as that's what most outdoor courts are made of in the States. That's kinda the whole point, i.e. not wooden floors.

    That's not correct about the NBA-level forces, as occasionally playing indoors instantly produced that range of squeaking sounds. Little kids produced those sounds as well. It's just the dynamic of sneakers upon wood, essentially.
