Piefed has been going slow for me for the past week. Not sure why, so I just swapped back here for a few days and will try again soon.

It was just so much simpler then. Aside from the viruses.

Well that’s much better

They’re angry and sent me a DM suggesting I was either paid $7000 and/or am a nazi if I saw anything to do with politics in this meme. You be the judge.

Just did some digging, and it’s legit and from a 1994 book called “The Internet Guide for New Users” by Daniel P. Dern.

Mildly interesting side-note, I found someone’s blog about posting this image and book to a (now non-existent) fediverse server. https://doughnut.neocities.org/blag/15

As is tradition, of course.

Thanks. I was on the fence about it, but I received so many reports that I figure enough people must consider it NSFW.

Would you mark it NSFW please?

Assuming they’re telling us everything that’s happening on Mars, that is.

Sometimes people want a breather, myself included. If there weren’t so many other places to browse that kind of content, we wouldn’t have the rule.

The population on Lemmy is very politically aware and has strong opinions, which is good, however that also means that it’s very easy for any community to become overwhelmed by it and suddenly have little else.

For the uninitiated

So you’re saying I should be more frightened of my toaster.
