I was also raised as a young earth creationist and it was always 6k years old for me but I could not begin to tell you why.

That may be the single most intuitive, and intuitively useful, app I have used in years.
Wow, instant default install.
Lemmings on MS DOS. I think it was DOS, I was like 10.
I think it’s dangerous now, without regulation and protection, and I think it’s a long way from how I feel it will eventually come to be viewed; as something more akin to performance art or a form of therapy.

Oh for sure this needs to be a Gizz album or a song at least
Which, honestly, sounds like the name of a prog metal album so he isn’t straying far
I sensed the joke from a few instances over.
If Lemmy is social media, then Lemmy is my only social media app. I have Mastadon installed but I never use it.
I think it has been a decade since I used Facebook or Twitter and I never tried any of the later generation of networks like Snap or TikTok.
