Various countries limit painkillers to small packet sizes (e.g. 20 pills here in Germany) and pharmacies only hand them out one at a time, so you can’t overdose as easily/spontaneously, either like the person in the post did due to pain, or for suicidal purposes.
It’s not perfect protection, as you can just go to multiple pharmacies to buy multiple packets, but yeah, you will have to actually go do that and will get told at the pharmacy that you shouldn’t take more, if you’re not aware.

Only in 3D. In 2D, you slap some pixels on top and there’s your scarf:

El Camino Real by Alfred Reed has a nice oboe solo.

I thought, this was what the post is about. Then I saw the fist…

Yeah, I once saw the Uno Reverse card of this, where some horrid, conservative Indian media outlet was saying some shit like the EU is holding some bad position. And the guy, who had posted that article, would not even engage in discussion that this was a massive point of contention, where neither France and Germany, nor me and my neighbor agreed. It just felt like shit. Don’t drag me into what the assholes are doing, please.

Hey, no kink shaming.

That one happens for me, too. I like to imagine a non-techie trying to use that web version and every time it starts doing the login-logout loop, they have to contact tech support.

For me it happens about once a week. Surely, there’s organizations where this keeps tech support busy all day…

So, what’s happening is that it interprets a number at the start of a line, followed by a dot, to be an enumeration:

1. One
2. Two
3. Three

And then it indents that text to a certain fixed width, which is why a very long number sticks out to the left.

Why your comment didn’t work, is for two reasons:

1. It stops interpreting a number as an enumeration when you go beyond 9 digits. That’s why your first and last example didn’t work.
2. It automatically ‘fixes’ the enumeration, if the numbers aren’t successors. I actually wrote “123456789.” at the start of this line, but it changes it to a “2.”. That’s why the “2334.” and “23145524.” you wrote got changed to a “124.” and “125.”, which made them too short to really look broken.

I think, you found a bug in the Lemmy webpage. 🙃

I think, it’s possible to find alternative materials which behave similar to plastic in certain use-cases.

But yeah, I can’t see a one-for-one replacement happening. It’s part of the appeal of plastic, that it does not degrade.

There’s also this newfangled cutlery out of metal, which is pretty cool. You rub it with soap water and it’s as good as new.

😋

That would be cool, but human brains are weirdos. If you’re already copying text, you could’ve edited or annotated it, for example. For example, if it’s an opinion you don’t entirely agree with, you might feel obliged to say so, because you have the ability to do so when it’s a text post.

If you want to call that irrational, I’m not arguing against that. I’m just saying it’s the reality we live in and I’d like to have tooling to deal with that better, because I would also prefer text to not be screenshotted.

Yeah, really unfortunate that that’s not possible. Always having to take a screenshot and then type out letter by letter what’s on the screenshot, that can be quite annoying.

But even if copying text was possible, the reason people post pictures of text is to give proper attribution, but also to distance themselves from the content, so that it’s clear that they don’t necessarily hold the exact same opinion or that they might not have all the knowledge to defend the statements in the post.

Cross-posting could fill that same roll without screenshotting text.

Pasta with tomato sauce is my favorite dish, so I can cook some elaborate versions of it, but yeah, an all time favorite is still just purreed tomatoes, salt, pepper.

Would be cool, if we could cross-post Mastodon posts…

So, is there no differentiation between “a fish” and “the fish”?

If they couldn’t find/trust additional admins, I don’t see how they could’ve handed it off entirely…

That does make a lot more sense than my brainfart of plane jousting…
