What is the average height of a moth from head to tail? (highlighted in the picture via a red line) I need to know this for a species I am making for an RPG. Unfortunately, I only was able to find a wing-span of a moth.

I'd love to browse "all" but so far my experience has just been a slew of porn, languages I don't speak, and other stuff I have zero interest in seeing in my lemmy-based doomscrolling.

None of it is anything I think beehaw should defderate from. It's not wrong or against beehaw's standards. But for my idle time, it's just noise that gets in the way of finding anything else interesting.

I did some googling and it looks like this sort of thing is being looked at for lemmy as a whole, but I was hoping someone may have a trick to do it without the lemmy system supporting it directly.

On desktop, I could easily add a userscript to remove the instance domains, but not so much on mobile apps.

Am I alone in this frustration?

I was watching pro golf coverage on the news and it seems so odd that men and women compete separately - same goes with pro bowling. Just seems weird to me that a game of skill is gendered when you can't even raise an argument that someone might have an advantage because of what's between their legs.

For me it was Ezra Miller showing up in The Flash TV show a few years ago during their big "multiverse" crossover event.

On the big screen, gotta give it to the recent Flash movie. The poorly CGI'd Nic Cage was such a great fan service. Also I managed to square myself from all the media past premier, that G.C. showing up at the end was a pleasant surprise.

Hugh Jackman in X-Men First Class wasn't totally unexpected, but it was worth a good chuckle.

How are ya'll dusting? (self.askbeehaw)

There are microfiber towels, feather dusters, 3M tacky sheets, and more options. But I gotta ask: how are YOU dusting?

Hey beehaw. I'm here after years of being on Twitter, and I know a lot of y'all are on Lemmy/the fediverse after spending a lot of time on there or reddit.

I'm wondering: does anyone have any tips for coping with the lack of ambient awareness of what's going on in the world after you lose your main information source? I used to get a vague idea of what was going on on Twitter, with on the ground reports on things like protests from people who were there. Now that is, for the most part, gone.

I'm both looking for tips on dealing with having less information-- the fact is that I don't need to know as much as I did-- and help with finding emotionally healthy ways to keep up with news, some of the time. I'm also happy to hear about other people's experiences with this kind of thing happening in the past; I'm sure some of y'all have been through this before.

I was under the impression that Beehaw was a fairly established instance of Lemmy.

the phrase is "peanut butter and jelly" but i realized i've never actually had one with jelly before. i don't think i've ever bought a jar of jelly in my life. how about you?

Anything you remember asking or you've seen often asked that's not in the FAQ?

I love Mlem and wefwef.app so far. I've seen a lot of people mention Memmy but I haven't really used it yet.

What do you like to use for mobile Lemmy?

And did you choose decent one this time or Rimjob_stew one?

Mine is forest green. Honorable mention to turquoise.

It was a sword and sorcery type film from the 80s that was on TV. The protagonist had a magic bow, and I think the antagonist had a magic axe? And the magic came from some tattoos or something they had on them that glowed. Anyone know what movie this was?

I think it should. Has it defederated and does it plan to?

117
 
 

Something others don't know about you, perhaps.

I'm currently on Connect for Lemmy and I mostly like it but it's buggy (new app so I'll be forgiving - but once you search for something you can't back out unless you close the app). Summit is fine but there's no way to see your profile and jerboa doesn't seem to have a way to log in.

I know it's early days but are there any other well rounded apps I should try?

Edit: I'm a dummy, in Jerboa there is a down Caret next to "anonymous" at the top on the slide out menu. That's how you log in

Nothing specific, I'm hoping for the opposite. Something most people either aren't familiar with and/or just something you enjoy.

I'm very OOTL when it comes to a lot of the major divides in online communities because thankfully I've managed to avoid most of the arguing. I've noticed a lot of instances say "no tankies" as one of their first rules and figured this might be the only place I could get a real answer.

Was there something specific they did to piss off everyone? If I had to take a shot in the dark, are they just people who are really pro-military?
