This is a completely psychotic thought, but I’m really curious to see what kind of circumstances would break their pickiness. For example, how many days of starvation before they change their minds. Also, would that happen sooner if no one was observing them?
Absolutely unethical and it could never happen as an experiment, but I wish I could see the results somehow.
It’s a crying shame that there’s no actual walking bugs club shirt available.
“Tiny frogs are spider cats.”
Five words with so much power…
Hey thanks for writing this out. I noticed these exact changes a few years ago, but I don’t have enough self-awareness or articulation to have expressed it the way you did. I am relieved that my bodies reactions are not unique.
Humans are insanely creative sometimes… I’m doing my part! One frame drawn!
Monkey paw: your account gets flagged and eventually you go to jail
Good write up! It certainly made me nostalgic for the games of that era.
Goddammit. This is so stupid… I love it.
Just start early. You’ll be ahead of the curve. There is no one left to look “cool” for.
You were cool all along, no matter what you wore.
Is that monospaced? I am both horrified and impressed.
Peep is superior in that he hasn’t been co-opted by white supremacists.
I didn’t believe you, so I looked up those cases. While there’s a little more nuance to the cases than your summaries, you are pretty spot on. We are all cursed with this disgraceful knowledge now.
You bring up legitimate concerns, but I think the bigger point here is that the Fediverse is not Reddit, nor should it be. I find that fragmentation mitigates the system manipulation and “gaming” that is often tied to people who rely on exposure.
It’s a little buried in the account settings, but Netflix does allow account sharing for an additional fee (~$7?). I know families that went with this option so they could continue sharing their account with elderly parents, and college aged children.
I imagine that if a group of friends agreed to split the cost of an account + fees, they would end up paying less than having individual accounts.
… son, and holy ghost…
