This is going to break some conservatives who have made camouflage part of their identity. Can't wait.

Reddit has over 1,000,000,000 active users per month. Lemmy has about 50,000. The API fiasco was a big deal for lemmy, but it was not a big deal for reddit. Lemmy is a rounding error to them.

I would also bet that a lot of lemmy users still visit reddit for their niche communities. I know I do, even though I host a server for my own niche hobby, but I'm the only one who's ever posted anything to it.

Hmmm yes, the 10 commandments are so relevant to laws in the US. Let's go through them.

I am the LORD your God; you shall not have strange gods before me.

  • explicitly allowed freedom of religion

You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.

  • explicitly allowed freedom of speech

Remember to keep holy the LORD’s Day.

  • nope

Honor your father and mother.

  • don't have to, in fact the state will remove children from parents without honoring their wishes

You shall not kill.

  • not really ground breaking stuff

You shall not commit adultery.

  • shitty but not illegal

You shall not steal.

  • wow, amazing

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

  • good rule but seems like "don't lie maliciously" covers more.

You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife.

  • seems appropriate to teach to elementary kids

You shall not covet your neighbor’s goods.

  • coveting our neighbors goods is like 50% of the US economy. And also the basis of manifest destiny.

Might as well have made "Treat others the way you want to be treated" state mandated curriculum, that's more relevant than the 10 commandments.

At least he didn't have boneitis.

It was in The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, or in the series at least. His scenario was two warring planets sending out armadas to fight each other, but while they were on their way faster ships were created and sent so when they got there the battle was already over.

Ramp looks better built than the barn even.

I'm sure they had a reason for doing this, but ya, fresh start was probably a better idea.

I think they already tried that route a while ago. Dustin on Smarter Every Day did several videos about the Navy and I think Coast Guard. Idk who mr Linecrosser is but I don't think the military would ever approve normal YouTube content that is aimed at children. Like there's not going to be a "Last one to survive Mr. Beasts mine field wins 1 million dollars!!!" video sponsored by the Army.

You can do a similar thing if you see a bird with a wing tag. You get a little certificate but no little bird pin thing sadly.
