Lemmywinked

Because.. the site winked.. out of existence for a minute?

Some day in the distant future (the year 2000!)

The thing where a server rack thinks it has traffic so the fans spin up but then it realizes it was just the wind so the fans stop after a few seconds

We're like the adorable little creatures in the game Lemmings (see my instance name), so we all cry "Let's go!" when we hit up a web site, and then cry out "Oh, no!" and explode when the that final click blows up the website.

(You'll have to be familiar with the game to get what I'm talking about.)

I don't remember how many hours I sank into that game on my Amiga. Loved it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Considering your handle, Imma guess it was a LOT.

Putting strain on websites would require users. We don't need a name for that yet.

Today it's just the Lamey effect

Is this that footage that Disney faked by throwing lemmings off the cliff from a concealed position?

EDIT - it is! At 1:30 here: https://youtu.be/xMZlr5Gf9yY

WTF?

Lemmy tickle? Not enough people to do much of anything yet.

Lemmie commies influx😅

Here’s another one: Lemmy lock.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Since we are still fairly small, I think we should adopt the "Lemmy hello" as a friendly way of talking about when Lemmings rush over to a link.

It might generate a bump in traffic, but that is just the Lemmy hello.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 week ago

I'm going to take a slightly broader view and suggest "ActivityPubCrawl".

Unless that's already a thing that I don't know about?

Everyone knows the best memes are those prepared in advance and committee-designed to be memes.
