Just a guy on the internet, totally a human and not an alien, if that’s what you were wondering.
This is more of a broad suggestion, but try to look for a discount grocer in your area. Where I live we have one called Grocery Outlet, they sell a lot of generic and near-expiration products for a bargain. Whenever I go, I’ll find things I like that are around half the price they’d be at a typical grocery store.
Bethesda is like low-hanging fruit for this topic. I love their games but there’s so much “it just works” type stuff.
Like in Fallout 4 you can use a critical with a Fat Man, and even if your mini-nuke clearly does not hit the target, you’ll still get a hit just because you used a critical.
I would probably recommend trying Imgur. You need to link a phone number to the app when creating an account, but that actually helps cut down on bot traffic a lot, so it’s pretty much all real humans who will see your posts.
One user on Imgur that I see post often will put up a whole gallery of wholesome memes, then a random Go Fund Me link at the end just to help them get attention. I can’t say how effective it is, but it sure does get visibility once it hits the front page. Maybe try something like that but with some pics and info about your kitty?
Good luck, I hope you get the help you need!
Paraphrased, it says: “this made me think hard because I don’t like either option”
Nothing else is important information, just sensational fluff to make a regular statement sound more exciting.

Although I might feel 30 sometimes, I’ll have you know I’m a ripe 28 & ¾
Thank you. The moment I saw it, I knew it would be appreciated in this shitposting community.
Imo it feels like the reddit migration has died down, but a good chunk the users that have stuck around are actually engaged in their communities. I’ve been seeing more instances created too, which is cool because it means people are hosting their own.
More recently I’ve noticed that Sync actually plays embedded videos now, which is probably the best update since its release. It’s feeling a lot more user-friendly and that should help it keep growing organically.
The only times I use reddit anymore is browsing with old.reddit a couple times a week. I don’t even login to that site now because I don’t engage with anything, I just check the news and stuff then come back to Lemmy.
You can put them in a microwave and watch cool designs appear as you destroy them. I remember my siblings and I used to do this with old demo discs that were destined for the trash anyway.
(Disclaimer: this is more of a joke, not an actual recommendation)
I like to use old.reddit when I browse it now. I saw others mention it, and after giving it a try, I can see why people like it more than the ‘updated’ reddit.
Your concerns are valid. That’s something to be expected as the platform grows, but it’s alarming nonetheless.
I see an obvious exploit with this: congress members enlisting family members who would rather vote ‘No’ just so they can get more votes for their own choice.
You might think “nobody would enlist their child to fight a war that they’re against” but I promise you, there are people like that.
Imo blocked users get less engagement, therefore it helps to some degree. Also, unlike reddit, it’s somewhat difficult to browse the Fediverse without being logged in. I’d guess that if any problematic content does slip through, it reaches a much smaller audience than if it were to slip through on reddit just because of how things are decentralized here.
edit: I tried it again and I now agree that it is easier to browse with an account. I saw a lot more content than the first time I tried it ~2 months ago
It is called ‘boofing’ and the number of people that do it is more than 0. Because of how the body absorbs substances that way, people can get a stronger effect than consuming them orally.
I’ve been hearing a lot of good things about this game. I do love a good fantasy rpg
It’s like they suffer from “sunk cost fallacy” but with entertainment.
‘I’ve already watched 30 episodes of this show… But I can’t stop now. Not until it gets good!’
Fettuccine with Alfredo sauce, chicken breast, and broccoli. It’s simple and delicious, while pairing excellently with an appetizer salad too. Bonus points if garlic bread is included
What kind of psycho gets a knuckle tat on the inside of their knuckles?
