They’re talking about Dungeons & Dragons, it’s kind of a tabletop game where one player (the Dungeon Master, or DM) basically creates adventures for the other players. It’s very nerdy but very fun and also takes a lot of time.

Or Breath of the Wild. It was a launch title for the Switch but also had a version for the Wii U.

I literally watched this movie for the first time yesterday. Guess I’m part of the Lemmy hivemind now.

Moby - Porcelain. I don’t even know why but it always destroys me.

That’s cool. With that amount of information you could make a whole fictional encyclopedia for your furry sci-fi SCP world.

Yup. As far as I know the placental mammals on Australia arrived there much later so the marsupials had already filled most available niches at that point.

So, you know how most Australian mammals are marsupials (the ones with a pouch)? Well, the fossil record suggests marsupials first arose in the Americas and later went on to reach Australia around 50 million years ago, probably just one lucky small species that later would become kangaroos, koalas, tasmanian devils and a bunch of other fun dudes. The thing is, as far as we’re aware, the timeline of events means they got to Australia after it got separated from the rest of Gondwana with two interesting implications:

First, that they got there through rafting, which means a couple individuals crossed some expanse of ocean on top of some floating vegetation or whatever and ended up being lucky enough to survive till they landed on a new continent. Interestingly, that’s also the main theory on how (non-human) primates got from Africa to South America.

Secondly, that they migrated from South America to a not-yet-frozen-Antarctica and only then to Australia, which means all their friends who lived on Antarctica and were lucky enough to not end up in the middle of the ocean on top of some floating tree trunk ended up unknowingly condemning their descendants as the continent slowly drifted southwards and completely froze up around 10 million years ago.

Ooh boy, do I have some good news for you!

Even in winter you’ll hardly ever see snow anywhere in Brazil yet our christmas decorations would make you think this is Northern Canada lol

I don’t know what makes you think South Americans are not under US influence cause I can tell you things in Brazil look exactly the same: Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Twitter… well, Whatsapp is also absurdly popular around here but I don’t think it qualifies.

This is amazing. I feel enlightened and the cube is my new religion. I must spread the word and tell everyone that pizzas are toasts and hotdogs are tacos.

if dolphins could survive on freshwater

Well, you’re in luck cause these guys already exist

If not friend then why friend-shaped?

I don’t think the locals are too worried about Japanese imperialism.

I had the same hope back in 2018 when Bolsonaro was elected in Brazil. Maybe this guy is just pretending to be insane and will be more reasonable once he’s president. I know better now.

Same. To this day I can’t listen to Promiscuous by Nelly Furtado without being thrown back to 2006 cause my cousin had bought that CD on release and played it all the time.

Or reusable bags. We have some here made of fabric(Or is it cloth? Don’t know the right term) that we’ve been using for years.

The Lemmy devs have no power over instances they do not run themselves.

It seems to me they’re saying Lemmy needs corporate backing to grow? Cause if they were so bothered by the opinions of the Lemmy devs they could simply use Kbin instead.
