    Just what community do you think this is?! I don’t come here for interesting, quality content and the wikipedia article doesn’t even mention anything about him shitting on a post!

      In all seriousness, most communities feel buggy on my instance(I need to find them manually on my instance) and some moderators on Lemmy seem to get a hit of dopamine when they remove any post or comment on their community.

      My answer to all of this is that I just use the shitpost community for everything.

      That solution seems super perfect for me.

    In March 2006, Bushby and French adventurer Dimitri Kieffer crossed the Bering Strait on foot, having to take a roundabout 14-day route across a frozen 150-mile (240 km) section to cross the 58-mile (93 km) wide strait from Alaska to Siberia.[4] They were detained by Russian border troop officers while they were crossing the Russian border near the Chukotkan village of Uelen, for not entering Russia at a correct port of entry.

    Huh, I didn’t even think that was possible. Imagine the border patrol officers face when they told him how they got there.

      It’s also an incredibly stupid bureaucratic clusterfuck of the magnitude that only customs and border people can achieve. Surely there should be some mechanism wherein you can send a letter or something to the Russian authorities to inform them, “Hey, we’re trying this stupid stunt and here is our plan, let us make our declarations now and we’ll pick up all the paperwork on the way once we get there.” But there probably isn’t, and then you wind up with crap like this.

      The tinniest of tin-pot jumped up little dictators are never to actually be found in your nation’s capital. Instead they’re all lined up along its borders acting like these various lines in the sand were laser-etched there by god and aren’t ultimately just arbitrary and, indeed, historically much more fluid than they’d like to pretend.

    This is amazing but I genuinely wonder if he’ll regret doing it once he’s done. Thats a huge chunk of your life to devote to one thing.

    Cant deny he’ll be making history though.

    I keep wondering why images aren’t loading and it’s because they’re hosted by Reddit? I blocked them ages ago but why are we using Reddit’s CDN for Lemmy posts’ images?

      • My instance does not accept me uploading photos.
      • Imgur is blocked in the UK.
      • Imgbb is too fucking slow when uploading.

      That leave me with very few options.

          Because it might be porn. If websites are found to be serving 18+ content without rigorous Orwellian ID checks they can be fined out their fucking arse.

          A lot of websites have just blocked the UK entirely instead of dealing with that shit.

            If it’s blocked then why there are so many wankers. Sorry, couldn’t resist.

            On the serious note, isn’t age of consent is 16 in UK?

          I heared that Catbox is struggling financially.

          I use it from time to time, but I am not fully dependent on it. Because if it shut down at any time, all the memes, photos and videos becomes instantly lost media.

          You might feel like catbox will stay here forever, but looking at my internet experience, nothing stays forever.
