So there must have been one day on which the Tethys Ocean was suddenly no more, right? I looked at the wikipedia page and it wasn’t clear.
Hi, I’m also Terencio on mastodon.social and Sergio on slrpnk.net. I mostly use this account when there are issues on slrpnk.net.

Sergio@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•A Completely Natural Conversation in the NYC RedditEnglish4·19 days agoWell let’s see… first we gotta figure out the analogy:
- carriers = posts promoting a product
- carrier escorts = posts commenting on and upvoting the “carrier” post
- torpedos/dive-bombs = bot-delivered replies that disparage “carrier” posts. They “hit” if they get highly upvoted
- fighters = bots that downvote carrier-fleet posts and upvote torpedo/dive-bomb replies
- carrier “screen” fighters = bots that post attacks on enemy fighters and munitions
- carrier AA fire = bots that downvote attacks by enemy fighter bots
The analogy is still a little clumsy… are “carriers” posts, or are they the bots that make the posts? etc. But a Midway-like battle would involve a modest but strategically-positioned product-promoting community that is about to be surprised-attacked by a rival, who will make several posts disparaging the product. But the attack is identified through corporate espionage. The posts are hard to find, so the “fighters” have to search for them but ultimately they do, and after fierce up- and down-voting, the attacking posts are deeply downvoted.

ur gonna give birth to a meme.
Businesses wouldn’t offer free self-defense classes – liability! They’d just put up a ribbon in tribute of all the fallen babies. Maybe they’d sell ribbons too, so you can honor the babies.

I like the use of the term “fleet” in this context, bc it brings to mind the Battle of Midway but re-done with bots online.
Sounds like you were summoned by ouija board.
For all we know you could be a victim in an abusive family. I’m sorry to see that people are blaming you without further asking about your circumstances.
FWIW I think it’s a bad older-generation thing, to express your affection by criticizing someone and insulting them. I had one older relative tell me that if you wanted someone to know that you loved them, you had to be a little mean to them. There was even a saying “spare the rod and spoil the child” to justify physical punishment.
To be sure, sometimes you need to be direct and critical and rigid, but it should not develop into abuse. If you feel you are in an abusive relationship, please reach out for help.
Yeah… reminds me of a very valuable lesson I learned during my college years.

I realize OP is only half-serious, but they still come off as really ignorant.
Sergio@lemmy.worldto Comic Strips@lemmy.world•Bello Bear 13 June 2025 “4 Out Of 5 Dentists”English1·24 days agoYeah, I didn’t really like the genre for a long time either, until I was in a place where I kinda needed it.
Most people hate school. Even the “smart kids”, what they really like is learning or knowledge, not school.
Sergio@lemmy.worldto Comic Strips@lemmy.world•Bello Bear 13 June 2025 “4 Out Of 5 Dentists”English8·24 days agoI see it as an example of cozy slice-of-life. Kind of like Azumanga Daioh but in a deli with a bear and a plant.

“Two ways,” Mike said. “Gradually and then suddenly.”
History’s like that too. People took their best guesses, but nobody knew for sure.
Sorry to hear that, fam. I hope it got better eventually.
