When Place first happened it was such a phenomenon, I think nothing that tries to copy it will ever come close.

Even Reddit’s follow-ups have been much less fun than the first one.

The Greek gods are canonical aliens in Star Trek. I’m sure it could be arranged

Oh my god, the creator of Katamari is (tangentially) related to the creation of the messaging program Slack. I was not expecting that.

Makes it so much more interesting when I think back to all of the days I turned off Slack to go relax with some Katamari Damacy Reroll!

Or just go to these alternative interfaces directly and log into any instance:

There are several instances of Mlmym (yes, instances of a UI!). Here’s one: lemmy.bolha.one. Tesseract you are supposed to self host, their github has a demo instance but you should probably look into hosting it yourself.

I love Alexandrite myself.

Everyone is saying it means “gift” but Wikipedia (as well as an embroidery my grandma gave me when I was young!) says it comes from Yohanan/Johanan יוֹחָנָן‎ (Yôḥānān), which means “YHWH (Yahweh/God) is gracious”, with gracious being used in the form of “merciful” or “forgiving”.

Which can kind of mean the same thing but is also different enough. Johnathan, however, does mean “God has given”.

TIL that John and Johnathan are not different versions of the same name!

I work in a cleanroom.

It looks more like the bottom picture than I’d like to admit.

Yeah, me too. I may not be comfortable speaking a lot so this is all one directional, but running into Stamets and Picard Maneuver outside of Star Trek subs always makes me go “hey! I know this person!”

Nah I don’t comment often, I often write whole essays and then end up deleting them because I feel bad about it hahaha

You know, I am single and have been curious about dating apps for a while. But I never really got over the hurdle of making a profile because of how much of a hellscape it seems. I may be curious enough to make a profile in this website tonight (fully expecting 0 users in my entire country)

I tried it. Pretty cool, but the closest user to me was 270 km away. Maybe one day I’ll meet her, but for now I guess it doesn’t have critical mass for me.
