@cwebber ma'am what is the nature of this social experiment

When you receive a piece of information that completely invalidates the reason you spent years on a piece of software how are you supposed to react

the Rocky Mountains imply the existence of the Bullwinkle Mountains

Everything is where I want to be. If I wanted to stop here, I could make tamales from the masa. Sure, they would be a bit on the grainy side, but this would not be far from how things were in the past.

I want to have a more versatile end product, though, so I proceed to dry my masa to turn this into corn meal. Several hours at 75°C, stopping midway through to break up the larger chunks into smaller chunks, prepares for the next step.

The big difference in experiences between Twitter and the Fediverse that sticks out most prominently to me right now is the lack of people discussing severe weather. Like, for the past few evenings, people's lives have been upended by powerful tornadoes and other types of severe weather, and it's happening right now. This sort of communication NEEDS to be in the commons.

Yeah sure there's bird.makeup (heh), but I *literally* just received several hours worth of tweets from it all at once just now, from various National Weather Service accounts, well after the information was relevant. So that's not currently a great solution.

What if we encouraged people to discuss meteorological events here to build awareness, or at least interest?

@polpo lmao this is some real Wile E. Coyote-ass shit right here
