  • That first paragraph might be you using absurdist humor. Or it might be a legitimate quote from trump during a televised debate I missed.

    I CAN’T TELL ANYMORE!!! EITHER ONE IS JUST AS LIKELY!!!

    “The democrats are using the dead to illegally vote in our elections, it’s true. It’s halloween season, the ghosts like to come into the city, and vote. They’re not sending their best. Their sheets are stained, folks. Dirty laundry. They even sent the ghost of an Ohio pet cat that they ate. I saw it, very sad. Said meow. We tried to get the Scooby gang to help, but the Scooby gang has gone woke. Everybody is gone woke. They’re stealing the country…”

    What even IS this decade??? Back in 2016 I used to joke that maybe the world really did officially end in 2012 and this was all just reality starting to distort and fall apart.

    Now I’m not even joking. What evidence do we have that this is real life???






  • Could you make a community, and a bot? The bot would look for any post on your blog, then the bot creates a post in that community that uses the blog post title as the lemmy title, and uses the blog body as the post body.

    Then the bot tells your blog the url of the lemmy post to use the lemmy comments.

    Then, I see the button that says “load lemmy comments”. Maybe your bot also creates a mastodon using the title of the blog post as a link to the blog post. Then any mastodon replies to that mastodon post could be under a different button that just says “Load Mastodon replies”.

    So at the end of your blog you have “Load Lemmy comments” (just as we see here) but next to it is “Load Mastodon replies”.

    And all of this, is done by you just posting once to the blog, while the bots do everything else in an instant.

    You just post once on the blog, and automatically a Lemmy post is created which is a duplicate of the blog post, the lemmy comments are loaded via a button on the blog automatically, a Mastodon post is created which is just a link to the blog using that posts title as the clickable link, AND a button on the blog is created to see Mastodon replies to the mastodon post.

    Everything besides the innitial blog post is automatic.

    Is that possible?


  • Wait, so theoretically, you could create a blog, and create a Lemmy instance/community, post a blog entry, have it auto post the blog entry to your instance, and now the Lemmy comments for the Lemmy post are the comments on the blog post? Do I have that right?

    And in theory THIS comment should show up on your blog, yes?

    Edit: Hey, I see it!







  • 20+ years ago, George Carlin discussed public education.

    “Just think of the average american voter. These are some dumb motherfuckers right here. Some dumb motherfuckers. And as dumb as the average one is…HALF OF THEM ARE EVEN DUMBER THAN THAT!!! Some dumb mother fuckers in this country. Some dumb mother fuckers…”

    And in case you were hoping he had a positive ending to that set, he didn’t. His overall point was that our government is not being held back by the voters. There is no secret set of competent politicians who could just fix things if they got voted in. This is what we voted in, because this was whats available. Don’t look for it to get better. This is what our election system produces from the pool of candidates it has available.

    Garbage in, garbage out. It’s just that simple.

    So, while I DO agree that a HARD focus needs to be placed on education, it’s not going to help the voting process. It’s not a issue of dumb voters voting for dumb people. It’s an issue of trash candidates being our only options…and at this point, it’s getting to a point of intentional facism.

    Like I said. Trash in, trash out.
