Map of the US if 50 states were formed by equal population and split by parallel longitude.

We need some state names for these. A few -stans would be appropriate as well.

  • This is in contrast to it's arch-nemesis agency, the Defamation League (DL). When those two organizations collide, it results in a catastrophic explosion like matter-antimatter.

  • Threads is weird, maybe because I'm not used to the Twitter-like format. Posting is fast like Lemmy (not surprising since it shares the Fediverse infrastructure). Replies are harder to read since it's one level nested. There's no downvotes.

    Anyone can choose to tag any post or comment as any topic, like Twitter but hashtags don't appear to be needed. Images and gifs are well supported by default, but it doesn't support alt-text for accessibility.

    The default feed is heavily bot-laden worth thirst-traps and AI women. You need to find actual people and follow them for recommendations for other real people to start to show up in the default feed which is a bit annoying. You end up with a social circle like in Facebook but they are complete strangers unless you accept recommendations from any Instagram contacts you know in real life. You need to turn off linking between Threads and Instagram (on both applications) if you want to keep them separate, it's opt-out.

    Political discussions are toxic; this is unsurprising. Lots of MAGA trash, but not Nazi-laden like X (formerly Twitter). Arguments with them are unfruitful.

    The meme game is incredibly weak compared to here (thanks PugJesus, The_Picard_Maneuver, cm0002, Stamets, LadyButterfly, Track_Shovel, etc.). Lemmy has an incredible amount of fantastic memes for it's size.

    There are of course ads but they aren't as obnoxious as Facebook ads. No doubt Meta is data mining the hell out of your content.

    Since there's millions of people (if they aren't conflating with Instagram users) it's incredibly active. That part is nice but you also get the stupidity and ignorance from Facebook-like users; this is where curating your follows is important.

    Here’s how global warming will change your town’s weather by 2080

    Archive Link

    If you hate the heat, you may have morbidly joked that you’ll have to move north to escape the impending wave of climate change. That’s true—but you may have to go further than you think.

    In 2080, New York City will have a climate much like Lake Shore, Maryland. Seattle will look more like Portland, D.C. will be more akin to Paragould, Arkansas, and Austin’s closest analog isn’t even in the U.S. (it’ll be more like Nuevo Laredo, Mexico). These estimates are all courtesy of a new study in Nature Communications that finds modern analogs for what the climates of 540 North American cities will look like in about 60 years. On average, the closest analog for the 2080 climate for each city was about 528 miles away, and mostly to the south.

    The fact that Boston will feel like Aberdeen, Maryland in 60 short years should drive the impact of global warming home for you. And that’s what Matt Fitzpatrick, an ecologist at the University of Maryland Center

  • Time for Nexus Mods to move just a little bit from their home in the UK to the independent principality of Sealand so they don't have to deal with all of this.

    Also, I don't understand why these laws won't use a token verification system where the website just connects to a government server that verifies the identity and gives a submit simple yes/no instead of having to store Personally Identifiable Information (PII) themselves.
