  • I do wonder how much the average people commenting would care if musk had nothing to do with this.

    It’s an issue, but it’s an issue scientists knew was coming for decades now. Starlink isn’t the only company putting satellites into low earth orbit. They aren’t the first and the amount of them will just keep coming.

    What we need is regulations and requirements for how many, what purpose, how they’ll be dealt with if something goes wrong and when they’re no longer needed, etc. Getting people to share satellites that are already there (when possible) and not putting up satellites that are redundant or don’t provide that much benefit versus non-satellite options or further orbit options will be important.

    But all these mindless circlejerkers only talking about musk and wanting starlink “taken down” are really polluting the topic with meaningless bullshit. It’s unfortunate people are bringing these mindless circlejerks over from reddit.



  • Rick and morty is not a small show by almost any metric. Funko pops also became popular right around the same time and have a massive overlap in fans, so it makes sense. Futurama was not out at the same time for the most part but there is still about a dozen funko pops from it.

    Funko can just make tons of unique models really cheaply, and they know fans will buy them to collect like beanie babies, so of course they’ll keep churning out different versions of the same characters of one of the most popular nerd cartoons that their own fans love.


  • That would kill small instances though, definitely personal ones for those who want to run their own. Once places like lemmy and kbin get big enough there is no way they’re going to go through and hand-federate every tiny new instance that pops up. There’d be no way to tell which ones are personal and which ones would be used for manipulation?





  • Can confirm humidity doesn’t help. Salt water drying on your skin can also make it worse, just a fun fact, so rinse off as often as you can when leaving the water to help prevent it.

    Also these people are insane. I’ll take a dry heat over humidity I can’t hardly breathe through any day. Sweat exists for a reason, humidity won’t let you benefit from it.
