The wikipedia article on humans is written like this and fun to read:

"Humans' thinner body hair and more productive sweat glands help avoid heat exhaustion while running for long distances."

"During sleep humans dream, where they experience sensory images and sounds"

"Humans commit violence on other humans at a rate comparable to other primates, but have an increased preference for killing adults, infanticide being more common among other primates."

    One of my formative experiences here was regularly commenting on a new and small, but active Stardew Valley community. I also got like 11 upvotes for my comments, but those upvotes and the few responses felt so much more qualitative than those on Reddit. It actually felt like a community where you recognize the people after a while.

    In Germany, the far-right launched Stolzmonat (literal translation of Pride Month) to drown out queer pride with national pride. A queer influencer managed to have it trademarked and take it from them. Now queer people celebrate Stolzmonat.

    That's the premise of the Twilight Zone episode "Button, Button". After she pressed it, the man making the deal said he'd go to "a random person on Earth" offering the same to them (implying that the person being killed will be the one who pushed the button earlier in the chain)

    So, if you want to follow a Lemmy community from your Mastodon account you can simply do so as you would follow any other account. It will treat both posts and comments on that community as boosts. This quickly clogs up the feed and is very confusing to navigate.

    Is there a way to have it show only the posts in my feed?
