They finally did it?? I was using the thunder-something fork for a while because of that, but I always prefer sticking with the base project if I can.

James and the giant peach was already an all around unsettling movie, but that thunderstorm rhino scared the bejeebes out of me as a kid.

I still play pubg. It’s a total dogshit game and the only players clinging to it are the crazy competative try-hards. BUT I’ve got my 3 buddies that I play with and its a great time because of that. I would never recommend it to anyone playing alone tho

Man thats super awesome. I remember going to parks in the early 2000’s and seeing people flying those things, and they were always the coolest people there. Are there communities for it, or do you mostly just do it for gigs?

Oh my god, I have rarely been more frustrated reading a comment. Thanks for the insight, this definitely explains a lot lol.

On a similar note, they make healies in adult sizes. Got a pair for my 21st as a gag gift, and ended up using them to walk my dog all the time. He’s a lil guy, but hes a dense 15lbs of muscle and he could pretty easily pull me up to that “oh shit” speed.

You know, I don’t think I’ve ever thought about your second point. That’s a pretty great idea!

She cares about the environment man! And and she like, stood in front of an oil port!! I can’t think of anything more extreme leftist terrorist than that

Oh my god… WHERE’S EPOXY HOTDOG GUY?!

Hmmm interesting points. Those numbers do look pretty steep for a server with only 20 users, but I can see how there’s more too it than just the costs of a server. Im sure its also harder if you have a server that ends up hosting big communities but has few users.

Definitely true at the moment as I’m trying to understand how this all works and where I want to be within it! I’ll have to see if I go back to my lurking ways after the curiosity has died down, but so far I kinda like being able to pick communities not just for what they have, but also what the vibes are. I always hated negative stuff in r/gaming and other game subreddits, but I loved r/lowsodiumcyberpunk. I think beehaws gaming community seems so cool because of their emphasis on be(e)ing nice.

I wonder how much that comes out to per user. Im sure its not negligable, but I have a hard time believing a few hundred text posts and images actually take $8/mo (lookin at twitter) to store on a server.

I’m also very new to lemmy so forgive me if I’m a bit mistaken here, but I saw a decent analogy on the dbzero instance. An Instance is like a street and the communities are like businesses in that street. You can go to multiple streets (instances like lemmy.world, lemmy.ca, etc) and find a macdonalds (/c/technology) on each one. You can walk into each and expect to find the same-ish fries (content) but the people will be different, and if you talk to someone at macdonalds on 1st (technology@lemmy.world) you won’t hear a response from someon at the macdonalds on 2nd (technology@lemmy.ml).

EDIT: But of course importantly, those streets are adjacent to eachother (federated) so you (your account) can walk freely between them even though you live on 1st street (lemmy.world)

That’s how I’m trying to make sense of it anyway
