Oh, darn, I guess my social cred in Lemmy has taken a real hit.

Ah, obscure reference humor , definitely not my thing.

How is this a joke? It’s literally just a weak book/movie reference.

At Harbor Freight, “Want some zip ties with that?”

I miss Jimmy :(

Same, seems like just unnecessary gendering, not all that far from “boys like cars and girls like dolls”. I am reasonably physical, never had the urge for this.

It was the late 80’s, I saw Robotech which used to play after school on a local UHF channel, and also Speed Racer. Probably the first more typical Anime was renting the Super Space Force Macross movie on VHS

C64 Basic, Yggdrasil Linux. I wanted to install Minix, in the pre-Linux times, but it was beyond my abilities

I just bought my first EV and he’s precisely why I didn’t even consider a Tesla when it came down to it. Also it helps that I want buttons on my dash and not all screen. Ended up with a Hyundai Ioniq5, it’s boss.

You mean Cal Weathers who played Carl Weathers from Arrested Development

Hello all! I became an SDF member a couple of years ago, at the time I believe I was disillusioned with social media, probably was also in a paranoid pandemic mindset. I am very excited about Lemmy and the traction it is getting, it’s a fun platform so far. I had tried Mastadon back when, but it just didn’t have any hooks for me, I was never a Twitter person anyways.

I had only heard about SDF from reading comments in Hacker News. But it’s really right up my alley. My first experiences on the internet was interacting through a local freenet dialup shell in the early 90’s and spending way too much time on MUDs, and downloading porn on usenet for view on my fancy VGA monitor.

Back in my day you had to work for your porn and imagine your video game graphics, and that’s the way it should be. :old man finger waggle:
