I came across a video on Youtube discussing it (there are several), and Kowloon Walled City is just endlessly fascinating. A few notable videos I found on the subject were:

The Densest City on Earth

Kowloon Walled City: Hong Kong's City of Darkness

Inside Hong Kong's Kowloon Walled City

There is also a book on the city called City Of Darkness Life In Kowloon Walled City, which I found on archive.org in high resolution. It is full of photographs and detailed accounts of the comings and goings within the enclave.

I mean the man is directly responsible for blocking several Supreme Court justices from being appointed while Obama was president, which led to roe v wade being overturned so uh, Moscow Mitch couldn’t drop dead any faster in my opinion.

I don't know who needs to hear this where, but being able to sort a user's comments by controversial would be a quick way to get a gauge on how generally inflammatory a user is when moderating one of their comments.

In true antique meme fashion, I pulled out the outdated pirated copy of photoshop that I have no idea how to use for this one.

I don't know if everyone here is just a galaxy brain or what, but I'm surprised nobody has asked or explained the joke. The red bird is a CPU running lines of assembly instructions and the crow is user input causing an interrupt to press the e key. This particular type of interrupt exists because it would feel really bad if you were typing, and the text didn't show up until several seconds later when the CPU felt like processing the (hopefully) buffered input.

Quality meme op

I am looking to make some last minute purchases to play with one or more friends, and I have poked around Steam's Co-Op page. I'm curious what new co-op games everyone on Lemmy is playing.

I just picked up Raft and Deep Rock Galactic the other day, but you can never have too many new (never played) games!

For all the chocolate lovers out there, careful because effectively all dark chocolates have lead and cadmium in them. Lead is especially dangerous and some brands have alarmingly high amounts.

This is possibly never before seen footage of the employee-only museum at NoA in ridiculously high quality thanks to Noclip. There is no narration, and the video is uncut.

It was in a small lake in Washington, and I noticed it as I was about to drive home.

Negative people are always saying we'll never see anything like the early internet again with how everything is owned by corporations, but this last week on Lemmy has come damn close for me! Time to go be nostalgic about asking A/S/L in AIM chatrooms while watching flash animations on https://joecartoon.com/ eh @CoffeeBlood91@lemmy.ca?

(I can't believe that site is still running!)

Maybe I’m mistaken, but I was under the impression hexbear was a bunch of libertarian left lgbtq people doing a bunch of shitposting.

Hard disagree like others. Going to an instance already takes you to “Local” and “Active”, which is literally the “Default Communities” because it’s what’s active on that instance. Quit trying to fit Lemmy into a Reddit box because it‘s not always necessary.

YSK: This doesn’t work in DuckDuckGo because I just independently had the idea to try this a few days ago and returned no results. I didn’t think to try on Google. I believe DuckDuckGo is running on Microsoft Bing so it likely doesn’t work there either

YSK: I can’t think of anything to post 😂

Can we hold off on this for a bit while things settle? I personally posted a story about investor concerns over Reddit’s blackout here because of the high visibility and because beehaw.org was blocking instances. Lo and behold they have blocked us so I guess it was a good call even though their Tech community would have been a better fit. I could have also made a new community here I suppose, but again, there’s no eyes on that.

Isn't lemmy.world literally like 15 days old? Let's not be too quick to turn this into a Discord server with 50 channels and 10 users. There's nothing wrong with piling everything in one place when there's barely any content to speak of anyways.

EDIT: I just created a new community to repost these locked posts in order of most comments:

General - Lemmy.world

Welcome to Lemmy.World General! This is a community for general discussion where you can get your bearings in the fediverse, discuss topics & ask questions that don’t seem to fit in any other community.

For server-specific announcements & questions, please see Lemmyworld, and if you’re really new to all this, check out the Newcomers community, but anything else? That’s what General’s for!

So I guess the next question is do we now recreate beehaw communities that were popular and fragment the community, or do we make accounts on a smaller instance that has access to beehaw.org and lemmy.world? I’m not about to start logging in and out of multiple accounts because beehaw mods are getting butt hurt…

A new blackout tracker just dropped on the Discord: https://darktotal.com/
