  • Are psychedelics really this popular, or is lemmy just full of people that like them? I had assumed they were a rather niche thing, but the sentiment towards them here today (and not just this post either) seems notably positive, though the descriptions people give sound existentially horrifying to me. Then again, I get anxious enough towards drugs that Ive not even tried alcohol let alone anything less common, so maybe I’m just the weirdo here.






  • Possibly my favorite game, “From the Depths” got me like this. It’s a vehicle builder that gives you a lot more stuff to design, both in functionality and in letting you make something look how you want, than most others I’ve seen… But the learning curve is like a brick wall and I just didn’t get what I was supposed to do the first time around.







  • Im beginning to think that, as annoying for users and difficult to build a userbase for as it may be, the answer might ultimately have to be for future social sites to charge people for use in some way, be it to create accounts or as a subscription or just for the ability to post/comment/vote or whatever. If it’s no longer going to be feasible to keep bots out, and there’s a financial gain for their use, then they’re going to get used, so at that point it has to be somehow more expensive to run a bot than that bot can be expected to bring in as a result of it’s contribution to an advertising or manipulation campaign, to deter them. On the bright side, I guess it might lead to a shift away from advertising everywhere. Either you charge people and therefore dont need ads, or you dont, and have most of your ads being “seen” by bots, which advertisers probably don’t want to spend money to reach anyway.


  • Hadn’t considered that you can just glue fabric together, I suppose that might be something to try if I start feeling crafty at some point. As for matching the hat material, it’s just what I’m picturing in my head, not convincing ears but just some ear shaped stylized part of the hat, like from that same grey zigzag patterned material seen here for example, whatever that’s called.




  • I dont wear hats generally, but I got it into my head a few months ago that a cool hat to wear, for my weirdo taste in fashion, would be that style of cap, but with cat/animal ears integrated into it. Tried looking for one because I figured with the internet being what it is it surely must be out there, but no, couldn’t find it. Only could find a different style of cap done up that way that I don’t think looks nearly as nice as the style here.
