About 15 years ago, I happened to stumble upon an online promotional contest for the movie 2012. It was a contest of logic games that took place 1 at a time over 4 or 5 weeks, and it just so happened to be week 1 still. Seeing as I used to be a big nerd (I still am, but I used to, too), I decided to give it a shot. Once the contest was over, I promptly forgot about it until I got a random phone call a couple months later.

Turns out, I ended up placing in the top 12, which meant I had won a PS3 and some crappy Sony video camera. It also meant that I was moving on to phas two of the contrst. Phase two required the contestants to make a video and get elected by the internet as the winner, for a chance at a vacation to Mexico. I wasn’t keen on doing all that, so I phoned it in for the video. All I wanted was the PS3, honestly.

I can’t believe gas is over $2 a gallon now.

Do you mean Pitt and Jennifer Aniston? The Brangelina split was in 2019.

Make sure to pair them with the milk steak.

It’s not a blackjack. Blackjack is 21 with 2 cards only.

Nothing. That’s the whole point of federation.

Other instances would still be online, and it would be business as usual there.

There would likely be discussion about it on other instances, but Lemmy wouldn’t shut down just because .world or .ml went offline.

I’m assuming you meant ranked choice, but the mental image of your typo is quite entertaining.

Aren’t superpowers supposed to be a net positive, though? This sounds worse all around. Unless you’re into that kind of thing, no judgement here.

How does this differ from prayer?

That’s just objectively false. He was mentioned on reddit frequently prior to his suicide, which was a very big deal at the time.
