the six year old, watching basketball: “is this live?”

“yes”

“aw, I was hoping it wasn’t so we can skip the commercials”

something interesting about raising kids whose main experience of TV is streaming is that they have absolutely no patience for ads

Humans adapt very quickly to comfort, safety, and convenience.

I’m convinced that any human who could time travel from before, say, 1900 AD to today would, inside of two weeks, be a Starbucks-ordering YouTube-addicted meme lord.

    What is the point of copying the text from a text post and putting in the post summary? I’ve seen it on a lot of posts and it just seems…odd. is there a legitimate reason for it?

        Had no Idea! Thanks. Honestly never could have considered that someone blind could be using Lemmy.

          One of the biggest issues with the Reddit API changes, and ultimately why RedReader and maybe a few other free 3rd party apps still exist, is because of screen readers and accessibility for blind users. And apparently a decent number of blind Redditors came to Lemmy over it (although I do wonder how good the Lemmy apps are for them?).
