  • Of course you're not one to leave a wizard cat image link unclicked. Well played sir

  • That doesn't sound right, but I don't know enough about micro plastics to dispute it

  • Nice. It's amazing that I'm still slowly piecing together my reddit subscriptions on Lemmy almost 2 years later. There's another classic one that I hadn't yet found, thanks.

    And remember, memes can be more salubrious than therapy 🫠

  • Just Google it. Lol but seriously.

    IIRC there's like the evolution of dance, Charlie bit my finger, and more? Idk.

  • What in the actual fuck?!?!

    That's amazing, I don't understand this shit but thanks for the master key 🙌

  • Let's just say I'd rather be with a man than this bear. But the bear is gone.

  • For the curious, it was because I tried to put capital letters in the community name. Don't blame sh.itjust.works, blame Lemmy.

    But also blame yourselves for not donating enough, coding isn't easy or free.

  • Sunk cost fallacy goes brrr

  • Yeah fuck algorithms, all my friends hate algorithms.

    Not being sarcastic, I genuinely feel that way.

    Btw you may be interested in !lain@sh.itjust.works despite the fact that it's dead. Or maybe your username is completely unrelated. Worth a shot.

  • Not at all, I use Firefox and normal Lemmy-UI 95% of the time. It just works for me.

    But sometimes I use the Sync app, because I paid to remove ads and I'm gonna get my money's worth, so help me God.

  • It's not working right now. Surely you can at least wait until tomorrow. If I can't make it by then, then it's my bad

  • Awesome idea, good luck on this one

  • Aside from the very valid points that others have already made, I have some input.

    First of all, I do agree that there should be a maximum age limit for positions of great power. But it should be like 80 or 85 years old imo, so it wouldn't really change much.

    Older people are actually far more concerned about the future than younger people in many ways, usually because of their experience and their children. Whereas younger people don't quite grasp how critical our actions are in shaping the future.

    Secondly, and tangentially, I wouldn't be so sure that Gen Z will ever be a dominant political faction. Similarly to how Gen X was basically steamrolled by the baby Boomers, Gen Z is likely to be the victim of millennial elites. Gen Z is a smaller cohort than millennials, partially due to declining birth rates but also due to the ripple effect.

    There were a fuck ton of baby Boomers (1946-1964) due to high birth rates, and most of their kids were millennials (1981-1998). Conversely, there were much fewer GenX kids (65-80), partially because many of their potential parents were killed in wars and also because of rapidly declining birth rates. This demographic reality has spilled down to Gen Z, which is less numerous as well.

    Then you're also going to have to deal with Generation alpha right behind you, who are largely the children of millennials and have grown up in a chaotic environment. Who knows how the fuck they're going to turn out.

    So yeah, good luck wresting political control from the millennials, because it's unlikely at best.

  • I'll edit it in whenever I can actually make this community 😤
