I saw the rock formation and view and immediately thought of Pinwheel Vista! Did I guess right?

It looks like the two skulls next to Mr. Potato Head, belong to Sylvester Cat and Tweety Bird.

… son, and holy ghost…

Klingt gut!

This is a completely psychotic thought, but I’m really curious to see what kind of circumstances would break their pickiness. For example, how many days of starvation before they change their minds. Also, would that happen sooner if no one was observing them?

Absolutely unethical and it could never happen as an experiment, but I wish I could see the results somehow.

Great point. It’s probably why I enjoyed Parks & Rec and Brooklyn 99 more than other shows in the same vein. Even 30 Rock only kept me watching because of characters like Kenneth.

I wish I could pet one. So fuzzy.

This is exactly it. They don’t care about your post or you or anyone really. For them, it just feels good to bring down others.

Peep is superior in that he hasn’t been co-opted by white supremacists.

The one time I’ve been here, the sliders were really good, but the service was weird. They served some regulars before us and we got our sliders after ~20 minutes.

Maybe I am too spoiled by White Rose System in Highland Park?

You bring up legitimate concerns, but I think the bigger point here is that the Fediverse is not Reddit, nor should it be. I find that fragmentation mitigates the system manipulation and “gaming” that is often tied to people who rely on exposure.
