Hope everyone's having a great Monday!

Hey we saw you from across the bar and we really dig your vibe. Can we buy you a drink?

It is so incredibly funny to me that this is a credible option to be President of the United States of America

I find it very frustrating that people genetically predisposed to being tall and thin and symmetrical espouse their views on lifestyle or diet as though it's their decisions that led to them looking like that. As though they know better than others how the human body works. I'm particularly annoyed that Elle Macpherson is now advocating vitamins as a replacement treatment for cancer.

Right, night everyone! Just going to do a normal human sleep in my normal human bed. Güdnort or whatever it is us humans say! X

Cool

Nasa unfurls giant solar sail – and you can see it from Earth

I really feel like humans should stop trying to innovate now and start removing rather than adding. Civilisation has become like a Heston Blumenthal eating experience, with dry ice and music and lasers, when really what we need is just a really good potato.

Fuuuuuck me

This is a *hard* no from me

Only another 2,770,350,000,000 sleeps until the Sun engulfs the Earth!

I'm no professional labourer, but the two chaps working on my house today are having a lunch break and they're both eating cake? Is that a thing? Like get some high energy sugar-dense carbohydrates in your system to set you up for the afternoon? Or maybe they just eat cake for lunch? Can I eat cake for lunch? Is that something I can do? I could just have cake for lunch! Don't mind me - just having my cakebreak.

Welcome to any new Fedi Brazilians

Are we in Rome?

It is quite mad in 2024 that coffee shops are so popular. I'm gonna get all controversial up in here and say that Starbucks probably shouldn't be making twenty five billion dollars a year. For context; Crisis have estimated the cost to completely eradicate homelessness in the UK, and Starbucks could do it 10 times over from a single year's profits.

I've just been back through my own timeline and I am concerned

Scientists achieve highest resolution black hole image ever from Earth

Although it does look suspiciously like a blurry image of a doughnut

To all you lovely folks still on mastodon.social - I don't know if you're aware, but your instance is being swarmed with spam accounts and bots. Lots of instances and people are defederating/blocking because of it. You might want to consider having a look at switching instances. 😊

Edit - a few people have been worried they'd have to start all over again on a new instance but that is NOT THE CASE! (hurrah!)

You can easily move over all of your following/followers/lists! Simply set up a new account then transfer everything over. The only thing you'll lose is your old toots (and who needs them anyway - that was the old you!).

Here's a link to help - https://fedi.tips/transferring-your-mastodon-account-to-another-server/

My family looking on proudly as I do yet another one of my high-quality toots

The more I see this the madder it becomes. Over a hundred couples. In 12 different countries. Guy must be furiously pounding away on himself in clinics across the globe. Every time he goes somewhere new, his first stop is always the clinic. Fetch me my magazines and my special glove.... I've got work to do!

Just reading about the founder of Telegram (who I'd never even heard of before) who has been arrested. Apparently Telegram has 950MILLION monthly active users so is by far the biggest social media in the world, although I thought it was basically the far right crackpots that use it (which sounds like why he might have been arrested, along with the platform sharing child sex abuse images). However Sky News' rundown on the man in charge is absolutely bonkers...

Look, we know it's not *all* dot social

But I see Fedi like a huge expanding infinite empire of planets and orbitals - some central habitats are mostly civilised and law-abiding (TOO civilised and law-abiding for an outlaw like me), and some of the outer planets are lawless wastelands where you don't know if you're going to find one last big score or get eaten by a sandworm. It's a rich tapestry of life. Dot Social is like the spaceport you travel to from Earth from where you then hitch a ride out to the more exotic and exciting places. A huge, bustling hive of shiny-eyed newbies, commerce, pirates looking for easy pickin's, and sexbots. Don't live in a spaceport. You're not Tom Hanks in Terminal. Go. Spread your wings. Be free. The galaxy is yours. But watch out for Reavers.
