they announced it completed. Not sure if it worked as intended.

ActivePub every platform has at least one major Intelligence Agency monitor who has to make a weekly report of ongoing. Do people really think 9/11 didn't happen on message boards? A lot of secrets for corporate espionage and government leaks happen on message boards. There are worst things to waste staff time on.
"Lemmy" as an app has to have a file in case it comes up on some security matter - it has to have a definition on a Wiki somewhere!

I think the joke is how a pest exterminator is being called on an extinct species. Play on the mutual concept of extinction.

It’s already like that here, friend.
Lemmy didn't take off until well into May 2023, despite being online and open source for over 4 years. The quantity of posts, communities, comments was very small for 4 years online.
Then everyone flocked out of hate and anger of an API money matter with Reddit.Then crowds got hate-filled and angry when Threads was launched by Meta/Instagram/Facebook on July 5. And crowds became hate-filled and angry over Elon Musk rename of Twitter to X on July 23.
Outside big growth in memes and shitposts, there haven't been big numbers of people flocking here out of organic goodness on organized topics. It has largely been a HiveMind of hate as a motivation to come here since May.
Some good seeds have been planted since May, but the atmosphere of hate motivates change is pretty much Mob Mentality / reactionary.
A joke that would mostly work on pre-digital camera generations.... those odd night sightings that would now be social media material.
That's why I linked the hot dog eating contest, which is a drag race
And the equal portions, starting gun, and ready to dive in pose implies that they are having a speed contest, a classic kind of American thing like 1972 onward hot dog eating contest, a race of 10 minutes (they have adjusted the minutes allowed, but time is the key to the race).
my first impression is it's a play on unity, that they are already going, but he is saying start whenever he wants to? Still, I can't really tell if they are in motion already... and he is at the front. So I'm confused.
EDIT: 5 months ago on Reddit, someone gave a better answer when I went looking on Google Search: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheFarSide/comments/124clhy/can_anyone_explain_this_gary_larson_cartoon/

“Any understanding of social and cultural change is impossible without a knowledge of the way media work as environments.” - Marshall McLuhan - cornerstone of /c/mental_influenced
As a media environment, the context here is to view media as environments and even the shift they make over time.
I added a link to Jung's concept of "persona" to the sidebar of this community: For Jung, "the danger is that [people] become identical with their personas—the professor with his textbook, the tenor with his voice." The result could be "the shallow, brittle, conformist kind of personality which is 'all persona', with its excessive concern for 'what people think'"—an unreflecting state of mind "in which people are utterly unconscious of any distinction between themselves and the world in which they live. They have little or no concept of themselves as beings distinct from what society expects of them."
Beehaw discussion, avoiding influences and managing new information consumption: "How did you find a healthy balance between staying informed and not despairing about the world?"
I don’t want to be totally uninformed about what’s going on, but I also don’t want to fall into doomscrolling. I know that I could very easily just avoid any news sites and only find out about these things secondhand from people I talk to whether in real life or online. I also know that it’s not goo...
There are many detailed replies in this Beehaw.org posting related to media environments.

As a media environment, this Beehaw discussion is treating the entire world, the whole #PaleBlueDot as a media environment. How much of the world's news can you consume? Some of the replies talk about their spouse being a filter for even world news information.

Reading a posting on lemmy-ui that is a link to another lemmy posting is confusing to read, it looks like the messages is from the person doing the link-posting.
I also find that when people post journalist news sites, they are using archive proxies to bypass paywalls, and you can't tell which news site the actual story is from.
The context of this being a "link posting" is not very clear. I encourage discussion and changes to the lemmy-ui webapp so that it more clearly presents that this is an "offsite link" posting(?)
FYI: lemmy.ml - central hub for many communities - has been down 2 hours after 0.18 upgrade EDIT: back up - they say DDoS attack against multiple Lemmy instances
Based on my weeks of code (and operating instance) study on lemmy_server, I strongly suspect that peer servers upgrading to 0.18 is causing a swarm of federation activity that lemmy.ml is getting as peers go down and back up.
