Yes that’s what I meant by inserting a line break. Btw you only need three hyphens.
I’ve become pretty adept with lemmy markdown, it’s extremely useful for formatting

Amazing that we are already up to 0.19.9 and on the verge of version 1.0.
The project has come a long way since 0.17.4, when I first joined. Sometimes it felt like it was taking a long time but looking back it seems like it went so fast. Thank you so much to all contributors, especially Dessalines and Nutomic.
There is still much more to be done, but I also think it’s good to reflect on how far we have come.
Very nice to see the fix for the spoiler bottom margin, I have been inserting line breaks after spoilers to alleviate that issue for quite some time.
Giant sequioas are native to California. The fact that you are apparently offended that the largest giant sequioas are in the United States is quite bizarre and telling of your prejudiced attitude towards Americans. Maybe instead of blaming American culture for scientific facts, you should try doing some of your own research so you sound less ignorant and xenophobic.
Any giant sequioa that exists outside of America is almost certainly less than 200 years old, and thus unlikely to set any size records. The sequioa was first introduced to the UK in 1853. Additionally, it would stand to reason that sequioas would grow best in their native climates or similar conditions. This is why sequioas in the UK cannot naturally reproduce.
And yes, they actually can go out and check trees located in other countries, and I’m not sure what makes you think otherwise 😅
It says it’s the largest giant sequoia outside of California, so that claim would presumably apply to the US, the world, and indeed the known universe.
Kangaroo Jack
Kangaroo Jack’s premise, trailer, and commercials promise little more than the spectacle of two enthusiastic actors being kicked over and over again by a sassy, computer-animated kangaroo—and, sadly, the film fails to deliver even that.

Interesting story but it’s also talking about how inflation was at 80% in Brazil in the 1980s, because they were printing money. What they did in 1993 with the URVs is a fascinating psychological experiment, but I’m not sure if it was the critical factor in stopping inflation. As per the article
It wasn’t the only trick, obviously. While they put URVs in place, the group of economists made the government balance its budget and slow down on money creation.
So I feel like it was basic economic policy that mostly worked, rather than printing money and trying to dictate its value.
Largest giant sequoia outside of California, measured by diameter at breast height. It’s in the title of the post you’re commenting on. It has a girth of 36.2 ft.
The UK does have some chonky trees, tbf. Current girth champion appears to be the Marton oak with a girth of 47 ft. Historical champion was the Cowthorpe oak at 59 ft circumference.
In comparison, General Sherman has a girth of 102.6 ft, and there are many more sequioas in California of comparable size and even greater circumference.
Dumbest people on the planet put a man on the moon 🌚
Continental powers really gonna ragequit? That’s bm
AFAIK the boat dudes are countering that with lasers.
At least according to this entirely credible source.
Uhhhh, hexbear is supposedly like 20% trans or something. They have preferred pronouns baked into the software. Tankies on Lemmy vocally love trans people.
You don’t actually have any rational explanation for what it is that is problematic about Nutomic, it’s just something you heard somewhere and are blindly repeating.
I have a very long track record on Lemmy of opposing tankies, so the accusations of being a tankie apologist are easily disproven. At least for those who care enough to actually do their own research, instead of simply parroting whatever gossip happens to float into their ears.
First of all, that has absolutely no bearing on whether or not Nutomic is a tankie. So I’m assuming you concede that you were completely wrong about that.
Second of all, that’s a screenshot of a private message.
What specifically bothers you about what he said there?
Dudes with boats have been OP for the longest time. From the sea peoples to the Vikings to all of the major European colonial powers to the American Navy. With many more stops in between 😅
The Austronesians even abused this strat way before anyone else realized how strong it was.
Ever since the devs patched in the air power update it’s not as bad as before. But still, land mains have been begging for a nerf to naval power for the longest time and the devs don’t seem to care at all.
Can anyone explain the reference here? I already love it but I sense it’s more clever than I understand
The removal of certain comments is intentional and politically motivated and I don’t approve. But then when you see people getting banned from like 20 other communities in the modlog due to that one comment, I think that was sometimes unintentional.
IIRC that was an automated function that wasn’t always intentional. Unfortunately I can’t find the thread where I heard that. I believe it had something to do with a specific version of Lemmy though.
I’ve seen all the screenshots, c/meanwhileongrad is on my server. But many of those incidents have a lot of context that isn’t captured by the screenshots, when you look more closely
On the contrary, I do pay attention to the subtleties. Dessalines and many of the mods on their most active communities are tankies.
But I’ve never seen evidence that Nutomic is a tankie, and many of the smaller moderators and users aren’t tankies either.
In fact, if you ask hexbear and lemmygrad what they think of Nutomic, they’ll probably tell you he’s a liberal, enlightened centrist, or cryptofascist, which all mean roughly the same thing according to their idiosyncratic version of the English language. I.e., he has been pushing back against tankies and hexbears since well before the APIcalypse, back when almost the whole Lemmy userbase was tankie.
Talking about several thousand people as if they all share the exact same political beliefs and behave the exact same way is pretty much the definition of not paying attention to the subtleties.
There are already tools for that, and it will probably get easier with time. In general, people should be encouraged to create multiple accounts on different servers from the beginning, so they already have built in options if they want to leave.
I use different sorting algorithms on my different accounts and also have different subscriptions, so the front page often looks totally different when I sign into my alts. Some of them are even federated with hexbear 🫣. I always find interesting posts that I missed by doing that.
Tbf, Kendrick Lamar is an unbelievably talented musician. Drake is just a lame ass celebrity, you can easily ignore him and be better off.
But Kendrick has made some really fantastic albums. If you’re not into rap than you might not care too much anyway, but he doesn’t belong in the same conversation as Drake, despite their dumb ass feud.
I don’t even like hip-hop that much but Section 80 and Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City are easily among my favorite albums of all time.
