Yes I know that’s what one approach. I was trying to consider the case where they can’t help have their breath be superheated

Ye so something funky is going on here. It could be that they’re deliberately reporting nonsense numbers in nodeinfo since iirc they have modified the lemmy code, but I’m not sure.

NGL, I’m low-key goading the science dweebs among us to find the most efficient/plausible scientific explanation for all this fantasy nonsense. We have to find the dragon diet that would support the version of dragons that routinely exhales superheated air (as opposed to having an extra chamber of chemicals they ignite on demand), while still maintaining other dragon tropes.

Yes which is why I don’t think eating a lot of “normal” food would cause this. The amount of having to eat to cause this amount of heat would probably be 100x more than required for their body size, which means that they would never stop eating. I think it’s more likely they consume something itself highly combustible like oil. Or maybe they’re doing internal fission :D

OK so awful.systems has 487 registered users and yet 351701 local posts, (meaning not posts federated in, but posts created in the instance itself) Something doesn’t quite add up well here.

@[email protected] do you have any idea what might be causing this? Do you have some sort of bot that opens a lot of local posts or some sort of importing mechanism from elsewhere?

Thoughts: If the dragon’s normal breath is fire, is means that their internal temperature is not low enough to cool down candlewicks. This is not much different than how human breath is warmer from the envionment. Form the perspective of, say, a lichen, a human’s breath might as well be fire. Dragons are just run 10x as hot as humans. The question is, what material are they consuming in order to maintain this temperature constantly. Are they consuming coal as food?

Oh I know. The suspicion list is just that suspicion for ratios which might be indicate botting. I probably need to tweak those numbers

Interesting. This typically means their ratio of posts to users or activity to monthly users is out of whack. I’ll have to check more deeply.

Because polygamy inside an unequal society like capitalism and monarchies is a form of control and power and most people inherently reject allowing others to have such power if they can help it.

If it’s just going to be a server, you can’t got wrong with vanilla Debian. But why is it difficult to setup docker on mint I don’t get it

Why torture yourself with Virtualbox? Just host with docker.

I realized just how dense this motherfucker is when he said his favourite book is the Player of Games which as an aside presents Fully Automated Luxury Gay Communism as the superior system (which Musk clearly bypassed or more likely never read). He just literally always identifies with the resistance movements without a hint of introspection or deeper thought because of his main character syndrome.

Musk does a better job at disputing the lie of capitalist “meritocracy” than most anti-capitalist critics ever could.

Well said! Glad to see you chose our instance :)

The OG Star Wars is literally an allegory for the Vietnam War where the Vietcong are the rebels, with sci-fi nazi aesthetics (and space wizards). The USA is quite literally the Galactic Empire in that metaphor.

Never even heard of this movie (Assumming you’re talking about “Divergent”). But doesn’t seem to have gotten great reviews either.

I would probably need to be included there :)

Does piefed report the admins in the nodeinfo in the same way lemmy does?

I was maining the most jank exile /chess deck you’ve ever seen. I called it homeless kasparov

Mate, if you’re into CCGs, you really missed out by not getting into LCGs! Android:Netrunner, a remake of the original Netrunner from the 90s is the absolute GOAT CG out there with a close second being the Doomtown:Reloaded (which I helped design). Basically it was CGs without the luck/gambling. Just get all the cards and make exactly all the decks you want.

Unfortunately Netrunner and Doomtown run out of steam half a decade ago, but they’re still developed by their fans, but usually the only way to play them consistently is online in places such as Jinteki.net. There’s a few others still in production, but iirc they’re co-operative ones, like Arkham Horror
