Years ago, when projectors were common in conference rooms. Someone was giving a practice presentation before the real deal in front of 80+ audience members. It was just our team of 8 or so the room for the dry run. In the middle of the presentation, there was a terrifyingly loud POP sound as the bulb blew out in the projector. It scared the shit out of everyone in the room. We all laughed after the initial shock wore off.

One of my coworkers stepped up on a table to take a look at it. I was near him and I waited for silence in the room while he was fucking with the thing, and clapped my hands together very loudly, simulating the previous scare. He let out a shriek of terror and clutched his chest. Everyone laughed. Eventually he laughed as well, but said something like "damn, that scared me." Within a week he had a legit heart attack.

He was ultimately okay, but I still think about it. I know I didn't cause it, but for a long time I couldn't shake the guilty feeling that I contributed to it. Oops. Sorry Ken.

I'm curious, how does it work?

Counterpoint: Considering the scale of Lemmy compared to reddit, it's hard to strike a chord. Suspend your doubt and keep making music jokes on a regular cadence. Someday you'll hit the right tempo and and reach harmony with other users who recognize it as your signature style.

lol

Yeah, totally. As someone who used reddit for 10 years and had comment karma in the several hundreds of thousands, it still pisses me off that it was ruined in the way it was

Woah, there's still a community for GW?! I played many, many hours way back when it was new and pretty well after that, but I had no idea it was still chugging along

I've awarded you Lemmy gold 🪙. It's buried 8 feet down in your backyard located at this exact coordinate: 37.78499221801758,-122.3960189819336

It's the same for me too. I went last night and there were maybe 20 other people in the theater with us. I live in a very densely populated area. RIP theaters I guess

Yes, and milk was the singular reason they were able to. Turns out those Got Milk commercials had it right all along
