I was hoping for HP Lovecraft

I’m not using it any more and I last time I tried it was overwhelmed with spam. I agree that warez are keeping it alive nowadays. At least it’s infrastructure, the soul is gone.

On a side note: There are still a few active BBSs around.

From a user perspective it’s not a problem. I’m just sad what an abomination my beloved pre-reddit has become. Also it’s super weird like using bicycles for international shipping instead of container ships without telling the user and hiding the whole process in the background.

I don’t understand why usenet is a thing. It really liked it in the early days and it was basically like lemmy. Groups for different topics and also federated. Now it’s used to distribute warez but since it wasn’t made for it so stuff has to be base64 encoded and split into pieces…

Starfleet directive as well

Where I live the supermarkets are often super crowded and things like that don’t really happen or maybe only for a few seconds before someone gets angry and resolves it.

However, I have seen the paying with coins at checkout thing. I prefer that over people who try to discuss discounts and prices at the checkout though.

I live next to the border to the Netherlands and the supermarkets are usually super crowded. If someone behaved like that it would probably escalate quickly.

Never seen that in Germany

Who designed it? MC Escher?
