Does lemmy sites or instances give you a reason why you are banned so you are not doing the same thing ?lsewhere? Or how do I appeal a ban in c/[email protected]

most Western people will float above the bottom of their nose

Is that true of salt and fresh water? I’m pretty comfortable floating around in salt water but have grown paranoid with age about fresh water.

Thumbnails for YouTube link posts are sporadic (lemmy.world)
 

I think this might be a general Lemmy problem but I’m not sure. Is there some way it can be worked around?

Are jabronis a necessity for a social media platform to be successful? (lemmy.world)
 

I see a lot of jabronis hanging around Lemmy. Sometimes I wish they’d just go away, but I wonder if the ecosystem actually needs them.

The boy in the famous "Mr. Owl" Tootsie Roll commercial was voiced by Jodie Foster's brother Buddy (m.youtube.com)
 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddy_Foster

He voiced the little boy in the famous 1969 Tootsie Pop commercial Mr. Owl "How Many Licks Does It Take?", often miscredited to fellow child actor Peter Robbins

Bonus “Mildly Interesting”: I don’t think I’ve ever seen the full version of the commercial before.

When does investing become gambling? (lemmy.world)
 

Is there a hard threshold? Do high risk investments such as penny stocks qualify as gambling? Do low risk investments? Annuities? Bonds? CDs?

This comment got me wondering.

Is it more to do with the venue? Stock markets and real estate vs casinos and the lottery?

Were the MIT Blackjack Team gambling or investing?

Or Jerry and Marge Selbee?

Is this just another semantic hotdogs are sandwiches discussion or is there an agreed threshold?

President Biden is the First President Elected From The Silent Generation (lemmy.world)
 

This is kinda blowing my mind right now.

I know generation bounds can be inconsistent, but I’m using this as the guideline:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation#List_of_social_generations

That puts Clinton, W, Obama, and Trump all as Baby Boomers and Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, and HW all as Greatest Generation.
