It’s an older meme, so it’s possible OP just googled a quick template and didn’t realize it wasn’t the original.

I know about 5 different people’s names at work. If I meet someone new, I forget someone else’s name.

Cause that’s how brains work.

I recently moved to a new area and got a card in the mail telling me my polling place. On election day I showed up and found out three districts use that building.

So I asked the volunteer which district I was in. He asked for my address, then said, “I don’t know where that is”. K thx, buddy. Then he whipped out a 20 year outdated paper map and asked me to find my house. The street wasn’t even there! After finally stepping out of line (and some exasperated groans of relief behind me) I did 15 minutes of frantic googling to find my district. Then I had to go to the back of the line and wait again.

I was lucky I had the day off work for all that nonsense. Most people don’t have that luxury.

Nothing will compare to last week when I was listening to a podcast in the car. The GPS will pause podcasts instead of turning down the volume. So I heard “well, this looks like a MUR - turn right on baker st - DER!”. I bust out laughing all by myself in the car.

There was some pseudoscience going around a while back about people can be left brain or right brain thinkers. Supposedly it came down to your dominant hand - meaning lefties are artistic and righies are logical. It’s been thoroughly debunked but people still say it to me fairly often.

Is there a way to have the gif automatically play?

Depends on how you’re browsing lemmy - I’m on liftoff and they auto play. Maybe check your app’s settings?

Also, is there a way to add a gif from a keyboard app like GIPHY?

Afaik Lemmy’s markdown is text only, so you’ll have to get the url from your app. I can’t get it for my phone, but there might be a long tap then “view in browser” or “get url” option like I have on their website.

FYI, the format for an imbedded gif is ! [] (https://i.imgur.io/Thsxdtu.gif) without the spaces

I agree. Imo a lot of the hate for reddit reposts is because repost bots are either posting content too quickly or pulling from new instead of top. Lemmy’s not ready for an influx of bad content, so you gotta curate it.

I’ve slowly been rebuilding https://lemmy.ml/c/dccomics at 1-2 posts a day. That way there’s always something in top/day but it won’t flood a user’s feed. I’m also not reposting top/day from reddit in case there’s users that still use both.

If your home instance is H and you’re banned on H, you’re banned everywhere.

If your home instance is H and you’re banned in A, you can’t interact with A.

If your home instance is H and you’re banned in A, B gets a wanted poster from A but B’s not required to arrest them.

I was genuinely surprised to see a stonetoss comic not about racism, lgbt-phobia, sexism, or pro Nazi stuff. Took me a second to realize it’s not even a BHJ!

I mean, Tesla was dealing with a lot of accounting and labor concerns before Twitter. Not to mention stock manipulation and other illegal stuff.
