Random feature I just thought of but am too lazy to put in a request for: "mute on the federated/local timeline only" button

It's a different set of people with volunteer mods and a different culture. Expecting it to have the same social rules is *weird*

(also we really need to relabel the CW button for how we actually use it)

Twitter people coming to Masto and complaining about stuff like being expected to CW and various other weird culture stuff is getting a bit weird

Twitter has LOADS of unofficial rules. Hell the entire RT function only exists because the company copied it after users made their own!

Subtoots screenshoting ratio who you can RT or quote tweet without it becoming A Thing, Get Out Of My Mentions..

I was going to make this a reply but lost the toot.

Wal-Mart was selling a Hellraiser box as kid's toy https://boingboing.net/2022/11/07/walmart-sells-the-hellraiser-puzzle-cube-as-a-childrens-stem-toy.html

which actually seems like a pretty great story hook. A company selling artifacts of great power without ever even knowing because they don't vet the third party companies they let sell shit

There's a mstdn.social now. Seems rude to use a name so close to an existing instance?

Irresponsible things to do with a time machine, series ???? out of ???:

Travel back to the first person to invent installers that don't contain the entire program and wave a spray bottle at them while yelling NO BAD PROGRAMMER

I want an installer, not a bootstrapper. Because want real backups not something that goes *poof* when you update or the server goes down.

After re-watching this Tom Scott video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tdiKTSdE9Y I kinda want to see a SF story where the protaganists are uplifted hamsters, because that's who your starship crews have to be.

Occured to me last night that from the perspective of a sea creature *fire* might as well be an eldritch abomination.

Can't occur naturally
Curls and whips limbs in bizarre unpredictable patterns causing dancing shadows
Harms if you get too close even if you don't touch it
Being around it in the wrong space can kill
for some it brings annihilation, scaring for others, some untouched
Can be banished, but if the banishing isn't thorough sometimes comes back anyway

Random effect of movie watching: I have to suppress the urge to say "fuck you Mars" every time I finish drinking from a drink bottle

no coyote I did not need a dawn alarm clock today thank you

Necromancer who doesn't check how their target was burried so they're followed around by a pile of rolling dust.

(I like xkcd but that particular thing has always annoyed me)

Had a thought of a social media site that allows you to send the same post out in multiple languages, for outreach stuff and heavily bilingual communities.

and then I realized like xkcd and alt text 99% of it would be another post in English as a joke

I want a big book that's just 1000 pages of alternating

You do not understand biology you're just a bigot

and

Phenotypes! look it up!

mostly the second one really

No body chicken does not belong in the sinuses.

Well that's an intersting Firefox / Windows? bug. PC goes down due to brownout, when power comes back I restart and...I've been logged out of here, Twitter, Google, etc. But not the Factorio mod portal, so it didn't wipe my cookies or something..
