Sure, don't underestimate them, but don't overestimate them either. They're still human, with all of the flaws that that entails. They're also subject to their own information bubbles, which get pretty bad when one is running a large organization.

You have a lot more faith in The Powers That Be than I do. They're not nearly that smart, unified, or forward-thinking.

Oh yeah, I'm aware. I was more responding with the particular left-wing viewpoints that were fed to me by the establishment.

Such people have been surrounded by an echo chamber for years and years, they never hear any viewpoints other than what the establishment feeds them

Ah yes, the establishment that wants to (checks notes) abolish all governments and class hierarchy. How very establishment of them.

We got overrun by Belgium. --

Lemmy is licensed under the AGPL, so they're required to share modifications to the source code. I wouldn't necessarily come out swinging at them, but you may want to inquire. lemmynsfw was also running a similar patch at one point, so it might be worth reaching out to them too.

There could be downsides that I'm not considering. I figure that:

• People going to porn sites normally don't have to register to see the porn, so requiring login is kinda jarring
• You can't tell if registration would be worth the effort if you can't see what the content is like
• It's hard to figure out what communities you would want to subscribe to if you're doing so from another instance

You should consider applying the patch that pornlemmy.com uses, so that people can see your posts and communities without being logged in.

I took a look through exploding-heads and lemmygrad recently, just to see what they were like for myself. Lemmygrad was about what I was expecting. EH on the other hand was just kind of... sad? Pathetic? The one admin begging people to participate more was particularly so.

Just /c/ShermanPosting@kbin.social is better

Can't yet, just have to block individual communities. Kbin users can block domains, but that's not the same as blocking instances. For example, you can block imgur.com to avoid seeing posts that link to imgur.

Funny you should ask. I recently created a community for cataloging specialized instances. Its got a pretty big list of them.

Yeah, see my edit about pornlemmy.

However, lemmynsfw does in fact block NSFW for people that aren't logged in. When I go there (in a web browser), the front page is full of SFW pictures of celebrities. The community list is just a bunch of celebrity-name communities, along with the occasional porn community that forgot to apply their NSFW tag. If I go to those communities though, no posts appear.

There are some weird defederations on lemmy.world's list. What the hell did demotheque.com and oceanbreeze.earth do?

Maybe burggit.moe? They're defederated by the bigger instances because of loli hentai.

Other than that and lemmynsfw, the only NSFW instances I'm aware of are pornlemmy.com and lemmyf.uk. Pornlemmy is specifically focused on vanilla. I'm not sure what exactly lemmyfuk has. It really annoys me that none of these instances show anything if you aren't logged in, not even a list of communities. Yes, I know it's a limitation of the software.

EDIT: Now that I look again, pornlemmy has applied a patch to show NSFW without login, like lemmynsfw used to do. Good on them. Still vanilla though. ¯(ツ)/¯

I was going to submit this community to sub.rehab today, but it just barely meets their criteria ("at least 3 posts that are not submitted by the community's moderator team"). May be better to wait until it gets a bit more activity.

You wouldn't shitpost in the policeman's helmet

Adding this one to the list of specialized instances

This meme is stealing.

You're wrong, your spouse is right.

Thermal energy is required both to raise the temperature of a mass of (in this case) water, and additional thermal energy is required to change its state from liquid to gas. This additional thermal energy is spent without creating any actual temperature increase, but it had to come from somewhere.

In this case, the thermal energy for the state change came from the surrounding air. The energy didn't come from changing the state of the air, so it must have come from lowering the temperature of the air.

As others have noted, this only works in low-humidity environments. If the air is already saturated with water vapor, no more evaporation will occur. This is why high-humidity environments feel hotter: your sweat isn't evaporating to cool you off.
