I have a friend who did this (3D printed the ships) and had it at his wedding.

In mid to southern Wisconsin it’s your average brown squirrel…but head to the north woods and black squirrels everywhere. I agree with ur family/friends…they’re doubly cute!

A fox horse! A forse!

I am early 40s in the accounting industry. Married, no kids, don’t want em. Have cats. Live in the Midwest, a lefty, woman, vegetarian that hates labels (heh heh).

Came to lemmy shortly before the Reddit API fuckaroo after seeing all the posts about the fediverse. Given that I had dropped all social media except Reddit in the prior 2 years due to a combo of crazy people, algorithms and targeted advertising, I was primed for fleeing. I’m tech savvy but not a tech nerd. Open source, Linux, self-hosting, etc all interest me but without having a direct background in tech, I find it difficult to prioritize learning more about it all.

If I wasn’t so entranced by other people’s thoughts and opinions in text form (never generally been a fan of videos/photos as an information medium), I would have cut all ties. This space can honestly be a little too “damn the man” for me, as I like rules and order, but I also feel the frustration of the public and tend to feel somewhat impotent about it. Hence, I think this is about the best fit I’ll find to still be able to connect with the thoughts of people I don’t know and experiences I don’t have.

Hard Fork - I love the hosts and the current popular tech news Pantsuit Politics - some really thoughtful nuanced views (Sarah can get a little spicy but it’s fun and informative) Knowledge Fight Maintenance Phase (only releasing intermittently right now but the hosts are hilarious and it’s good info about all things health and nutrition…good myth debunking)

And these ones are very popular and probably not unknown to you but I listen to Up First (NPR) and The Daily every single day as they’re good, short to moderate length current news podcasts…relatively unbiased.

I also listen to Pod Save America, Slate Political Gabfest, FiveThirtyEight, The Bulwark and Strict Scrutiny for a wide range of political arenas (lefty, righty, polling, judiciary…not in that order necessarily)

Seconding Knowledge Fight and Behind the Bastards! Hello fellow wonk!

Yes, for podcasts and then just transfer it back to my phone to continue listening as I get dressed/ready.

Shokz are awesome. I also have finicky and small ear holes that don’t like earbuds that much, along with piercings that can get annoyed depending on the style. Shockz solves all that plus I can hear my surroundings. Pro tip for camping…wear the shockz WITH earplugs and play white noise or sleep music. It was the only way I slept during a bass music festival with after parties going until dawn.

The future is no place to place your better days.

I made a Lemmy account a couple weeks ago and started getting familiar with the fediverse. Then I decided to create a different user on Lemmy.world so I think I registered this one yesterday.

For the last 30 days I’ve still used Reddit because it has the most activity and it’s been like “this is the last time!!” kinda feels. But now I’ve discovered wefwef, and I’m not going to be using Reddit anymore so here I am.

I think a lot of people are similar…nostalgia and ease of use kept everyone mostly using Reddit and now the people who care about the whole issue will start contributing here.

Vote for keeping wefwef. It’s kitschy and odd and unique.
