It happens to the best, no worries ;) The good thing is, that it is an easy “fix” since you can just crosspost the older stuff to the new community and everything will end up in the same place.

The posts in your own posting history are from lemmy.ml and the community you linked is on lemmy.world which is a different instance.

Do they at least keep the monstie element / color change this time? TBH I was severely disappointed in MonHun Stories when I learned that they removed the only gameplay feature that kept gameplay interesting after the main story.

German here. I had to send mine in four times since buying them, and always got a joke invoice of zero Euro for the repairs/swap. However, they never said they were going to replace them for free, and the poor guy I pestered on the hotline just kept saying I should send them in, as if he was forbidden to make any promises.

Long story short; it can’t hurt to try even when they not openly advertise the free-of-charge repairs.

You know a dad joke is a good dad joke when you angrily groan while being compelled to still upvote it.

In Germany, pretty much every supermarket has 2 special bins near the entrance, one for lightbulbs and one for batteries. Maybe there’s something similar in your area?

Otherwise I’d check with shops or hardware stores that sell these and/or a local electrician how they dispose of these and whether they’d be willing to take yours as well.

My guess is that’s either a typo and was supposed to be “shipped”, or that they deliberately chose the word shifted (“to exchange for or replace by another”) in order to combine the numbers of sales and repairs into one statistic so it looks bigger. After Nintendo was mass-sued about the poor quality of their C-sticks, they were ordered to replace / repair any stick drift issues for free even outside of the warranty period, and people naturally used that feature.

I for one had to send my joycons in for repair six times since buying the switch, so in that statistic my hardware would have been sold once, but “shifted” seven times.

Like others have said already: it sells. It’s the same reason why seemingly every single fantasy/adventure game is called an “RPG” regardless of whether or not it contains actual RPG elements, like creating your own character.

How would it be different if Lemmy allowed scheduled post creation in the platform itself?

It wouldn’t be different. Still annoying useless spam, still something I would immediatly block. It doesn’t matter much whether it is a bot, a person copypasting the same thing daily, or something different entirely - it is daily spam that a lot of people simply do not want to deal with, and blocking bots gets rid of a lot of this stuff easily.

The METHOD with which the spam is posted is not the issue here, and finding a different way to automate spam is not the solution. Un-marking bots like these would only result in the necessity to manually add bot accounts to a block list to get rid of them again, but it would not magically make people interested in the spam in question just because it is shoved down their throats in a different manner.

Seriously, if you’re only trying to make the bot visible to users who specifically, definitely, actively WANT to see it, then a customizable whitelist is the best option. That way, the “I don’t want ANY bot spam” people aren’t forced to deal with random exceptions, and the people who want to see the bot for whatever reason would be able to.

…mostly people unaware of the bot, potentially interested in the daily thread (because after all, why not) and not seeing it due to them blocking them all.

Stickied intro post in the community. “Hey just so you know, we have a bot asking you how you’re doing every single day, and I’d like you to participate, so please uncheck the bot-block-box in your settings, thank you very much.”

Tadah, now people will be aware about the bot and can opt-in IF they want to, without annoying the rest of the Fediverse in the process.

A bot is a bot and should be marked as such. No exceptions.

As an alternative, the devs could add the option to whitelist specific bots, so people can first “block all bots” and then make an exception specifically for yours - IF they want to see it, of course. But unmarking a bot just because you want to show it to people who specifically do NOT want to see any bots? That defeats the entire purpose of blocking them in the first place.

Think of those as 3 rows in a table and read them from the top down, then it makes a bit more sense:

…still an absolute clusterf*ck either way tho. And every time I read it, I get the “magic baby” song from Labyrinth stuck in my head.

Ahh, NOW I know which one you mean! That’s one of the swearwords of Mustrum Ridcully come to life along with no. 11 and 12 ^^

100% agreed. A bad mod is a dictator trying to rule over others. A good mod is more a janitor, someone who works in the background to keep the place clean for others to enjoy, and doesn’t expect to be worshipped.

I still don’t really know which one you mean, but I found a much clearer, “updated” version of this picture (with more characters) and the maching “key” for it, naming all displayed characters:. I guess that will be more useful in the long run ;)

in case you mean the “thing” in the lower left corner of the second pic, that’s Errol, Lady Sybil’s pet swamp dragon. What looks like facetted eyes & an insect “trunk” in the slightly blurry pic is actually a snout with giant nostrils.

I don’t know how anyone thought this was a good idea for a video.

The dumber and more infuriating a video is, the higher the chance that viewers will start arguing with each other and/or the creator, and share links offsite to show others just HOW dumb and infuriating the video is. It’s the entire point of Rage Bait to be as obnoxious as possible to make people interact with the video in one way or another, because the creator gets “paid per click” in ad revenue. It doesn’t matter to those people whether the comments are actually civil discussions or literally every youtuber just commented “f- you!”, because both are worth one click = same amount of cash. Sharing links offsite is free advertisement on top of that.

Long story short, it is deliberate. And the best way to deal with those is to report and ignore them.

I know it is supposed to say “Service Fee” but after reading your comment my brain is unable to read anything other than Service Egg now …

Maybe not “reserved” but eaten less frequent? Let’s say a poor peasant during that time owned 10 guinea pigs and had the choice to either slaughter one of the little guys for one single meal, or sell some to the higher-ups and buy less expensive food that will last for a week or two, then it would make sense if the peasants ate less of them than nobility even if it wasn’t explicitly forbidden.

Fun Fact; they’re called “Meerschweinchen” (“little pigs of the sea”) in German as they were imported by Spanish sailors (as food, not as pets). I know they have been used as lifestock in South America way before that, but the sailors were basically the first ever time Germans heard about those animals.

The only thing I find a little weird about this picture is that it isn’t skinned. You can buy frozen whole rabbits in Germany, but they’re always skinned. Is this a hairless breed or did they somehow remove the fur?
