The funny part - I use that term loosely - is that the ivory bill was very closely related to pileated wood pecker which is a noisy as fuck bird. There are people out in the swamps of the Singer Tract looking for them like bigfoot hunters. They insist that the bird is very reclusive now.

That looks like an old Singer table with a new machine on top.

My grandma used to have one at the farm, that was the original, and powered by the pedal you see at the bottom

‘fun fact’ - the ivory bill wood pecker’s habitat was entirely within the tract of land that Singer company used to make these tables. Didn’t work out for the ivory bills at all. They are entirely extinct

/C/shitpost for me, lawl.

The vegan thing is a dumpster fire. They had a mod go off the deep end and start banning everyone.

I really don’t get how people let modding go to their heads. I. Mod a few small communities and big whoop. Even if I modded a bigger one, there is a broad line between acceptable content on Lemmy and unacceptable content. Just because you have a contrary or shit take does not mean you need to be banned. Just because people are getting butthurt doesn’t mean you need to ban offenders. Diversity of opinion is a good thing for a community, unless that opinion supports Nazism or some other shit which promotes hatred.

Mods here too, apparently.

I like to think that the drawing of the giant naked dude in the English countryside that was made by Paleolithic humans was the first dick pic

I just finished a 2 week ban in shitpost. I don’t even think my take was that offensive, and it was ultimately an offhanded comment related to my post that for me banned.

I’m trying to smooth things over now, but it’s slow going.

Listen here, you thin-skinned shitgoblin. you might like to think you’re clever and can program, but I have it for veritable fact that you’re and underpaid grundle hair braider who is barely making ends meet.

Yeah, but would a bot creatively insult you, you slack-jawed, basement-dwelling rat fondler?

Yeah, but y’know, it’s a sensitive topic so I thought I would be explicit.

Lemmy has a wide range of viewpoints and I don’t want to be unjustly called insensitive or worse.

For clarification, in case it is needed: I hate absolutely everything going on in Palestine right now. The fact that this continues, and is condoned by the west crushes my soul.

If only we could do something about it

K…

True. All those microplastic and forever chemicals are really having a negative effect on bird populations and my complexion

I got you fam. Just uploaded a shitpile.

Have a bonus meme

Yet a shining beacon of hope compared to what’s actually happening over there.

The first rule of a successful abuse of power is to make people too busy trying to survive to worry about what your policies are

Saving this pasta for later

I’m just here for the ensuing internet slapfight.

Loudly munching on Doritos in the corner

Wait, I’ve seen this style of reaaoning before…
